I
After I got Damon naked, I took him to the bathroom and bathed him. I wasn’t as modest as he was and couldn’t stop myself from grabbing his protruding dick and shoving it into my mouth.
Even though I had bathed earlier, I had to bathe again because of how sticky I was and by the time we got out of the bathroom, it was almost midnight.
We both patted ourselves dry with the towel before going into the closet and getting dressed. As soon as we were done, we wasted no time in climbing into bed and I snuggled close to Damon. I wanted to get into his skin.
“I won’t be around for a while” He suddenly said and I froze before glancing up at him with a frown.
“Again? Where are you going this time?” I questioned and he sighed.
“I have to be punished because of what I did in that south. My father is sending me away to be in solitude for a week. It will only be for a week and then I’ll be back” He murmured and I shook my head.
“I’m not letting you go anywhere, you’re staying here with me” I murmured and he sighed.
“Do you really want me to go against the Alpha king’s orders?” He questioned and I frowned.
“You normally do it so why can’t you do it this time?” I questioned and he stared at me for a while before caressing my cheek.
“In order for this relationship or marriage to work, I have to atone for my sins and is one way I can do that. When I get back I promise! won’t leave you again” He uttered but I still couldn’t wipe the frown off my face.
“Damon, we have been away from one another too long. I just want to spend time with you. I know I’m acting like a clingy girlfriend but this is what you get for pushing me away for so long” I murmured with a pout and he chuckled before pinching my cheek.
“Clingy wife, not girlfriend and I don’t mind it. I find it cute. I’ll be back before you know it, I promise” He murmured and I stared at him for a while before letting out a sigh.
“Where is this place and what exactly is this punishment?” questioned.
“It’s like a dark cave where a wolf that has committed atrocious sins is taken to for isolation. It’s just a means for me to reflect on my actions. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay He uttered while still caressing my cheek.
“And by isolation, you mean I can’t come visit you? No one can?” I questioned and he nodded.
“it’s the rule” He mentioned and I scoffed,
“That sounds like hell. I’m going to go talk to your father and guilt trip him into letting you go” I murmured and was about to pull away when Damon tightened his arm around my waist and placed his nose on my neck.
“Do you really want to waste the night by fighting a futile battle with my father? I’d rather spend time with you” He murmured and I couldn’t argue with his logic so I gave in.
“Fine” I muttered before settling down into his arms again. We stayed like that for a while and surprisingly, Damon fell asleep first.
I pulled away slightly to stare at his face and couldn’t help but smile. This man was perfect. How could he still look so handsome even when he was asleep?

I raised my hand and gently traced the outline of his face as I thought back on our time with one another, Granted, our relationship with one another hasn’t been the smoothest. Heck we have spent more time apart than we have together but the feelings we had, at least the feelings I had for him were unreal. I didn’t know if I could use the L word yet and to be honest, I was afraid to use it because even though he wanted to make us official and we both wanted this marriage to work, what’s the guarantee that it will?
I knew it was already too late but I was going to try and guard my heart as much as I could.
After a while I fell asleep as well.
When I woke up the next morning, Damon’s face was the first thing I saw.
“Good morning little devil” He murmured and I smiled. I used to despise that nickname he gave me when we first met but now, I kind of liked it even though I’d wish he’d call me something more romantic.
He leaned down to place a kiss on my lips and only then did I realize that he was fully clothed and not in his nightwear but in casual wear.
“Are you going already?” I questioned softly and he sighed before nodding
“The earlier I go, the sooner I’ll be back. Luca is telling your guards what to do and how to protect you. Do not leave without Luca’s permission or without anyone knowing your whereabouts. If something is wrong, tell Luca. Always alert Luca on anything, okay?” He uttered and I frowned.
“Do you really have to go?” I questioned and he sighed.
“We went over this last night already, Clara, I didn’t want to leave without you seeing me. Why don’t you waiting for me” He uttered and I had no other choice but to comply.
see me off? The car is already
I wore a robe before following Damon downstairs and I was surprised by all the solemn looks on the maids and guards” faces as he walked by. He was only going into isolation so why were they acting like he was going to die?
As soon as we walked out of the house, Luca ran up to us with Delilah behind him.
“You are leaving” She murmured softly and he nodded.
“I am. The both of you should take care of Clara with your life or I’ll hunt you. Male sure she’s well protected” He ordered and they both bowed their heads.
“Of course, Alpha. Good luck” Luca murmured while staring into Damon’s eyes and it was almost like a silent conversation was going on between them,
“Why are you all acting like Damon is going to war or something? It’s just isolation right?” I questioned as I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at all of them.
“Of course baby but isolation isn’t exactly fun, is it?” Damon murmured then grabbed my face and gave me a very passionate kiss which I immediately melted into. All the suspicion immediately vanished and was replaced by desire and want.
“I see you’re ready” We suddenly heard Damon’s father’s voice from behind us and I didn’t hesitate to throw a glare at him which he immediately noticed.
“Yes”
Damon uttered as he turned away from me to face him.
“Very well then, good luck. I’ll make sure to watch after Clara when you’re gone” He murmured and Damon shook his head.
“I have Luca for that” He muttered then turned to me with a smile as he grabbed onto my hand.

“I’ll be back before you know it, okay?” He murmured and I could feel the tears threatening to fall.
“I’ll miss you” I whispered and he grinned.

“I’ll be thinking of you” He murmured then slowly pulled away and in a matter of seconds, he was gone and the emptiness that settled down on me was making me sick.
me.
*You can’t hate me for this, I’m doing this for my son’s sake” I jumped slightly at the voice and noticed the Alpha King was standing next to
Without fear, I turned to glare at him.
“The least you could do is let us mourn our dead child together and now because of this, I’d have to mourn alone. Thank you” I muttered then turned around and walked away.
I don’t know if I should be mad at the Alpha King because maybe he was really doing this for Damon’s sake but I needed Damon right now.
1 stormed my way to my room and barged in only to stop in my tracks when I saw that same girl Damon had brought last night standing in my room.
The look in her eyes gave me chills not because they held anger or hatred, but because they were lifeless.
She bowed her head slightly before staring back at me again,
“Gwen at your service, Mrs Donovan“…
