His True Face


    Damon''s fingers gripped her shoulders tightly, holding her against his chest. As a result of their


    proximity, Sarah felt his heart beating against her back but she failed to notice that the intervals


    between each heartbeat lessened as time passed.


    Before they could get too engrossed in each others warmth, Damon tightened his hold on her


    shoulders and easily lifted her into the air then swivelled on his feet and dropped her behind him. Sarah


    stiffened and stood silently in ce like a statue even when he ced her feet against the floor. She


    was too overwhelmed by both her near death experience and Damon''s abrupt appearance.


    "Alexis, I suppose you can tell me what''s going on here?" Damon boomed, facing the three girls that


    had been rendered dumb by the power of fear.

    Alexis who was under the impression that Sarah fell because she poked her, flinched as her face


    drained of colour. Guilt didn''t run through her despite her thoughts, she was simply scared for her life,


    so much so that she wished she had not dared to encounter or even spoken to Sarah. She had a


    vague idea of what would happen next but she couldn''t bare to imagine herself in that position. She


    had been living here for five years straight and now, she was about to get in trouble because of a filthy


    woman who had just arrived hours ago? Over her dead body!


    "She was the one who started it first!" Alexis cried, pointing at her with a petrified finger. Though


    Sarah''s eyes widened at the false usation, she didn''t feel the least bit sorry. Lying was her only way


    out of this situation. "I was just going about my business when she threatened me!"


    "Is that true?" Damon turned his head towards Sarah, eyes looking as cold as ice. She wasn''t an idiot.


    She could easily tell that he was angry, very angry. But what made her quiver was the fact that his


    anger was directed at her, the innocent one.


    "I-I d-didn''t-" she swallowed, fiddling with her fingers nervously. She desperately wanted to speak up for


    herself, but Damon''s cold gaze stroke fear into her. It was her first time seeing him in this state. Last


    time, he had gotten angry at her for no reason but this time was different, it didn''t even seem like he


    recognized her as his mate neither did it seem like he cared whether she was scared or not.


    "Are you incapable of speaking? Do I need to draw an answer out of you myself?"


    She flinched at the threat. Why was he angry at her when she didn''t do anything? She looked up at the


    woman who had framed her, eyes catching the way her lips twitched upwards for a second then


    downturned once more. She was enjoying this...That much was obvious. Her friends were silently


    standing by her, so they were just as bad as she was.


    Sarah frowned and directed her gaze back at Damon. To put it simply, he looked just about ready to


    murder someone....She couldn''t just sit and let herself get used. "I didn''t t-threaten anyone." From


    the corner of her eyes, she saw Alexis stiffen, but she didn''t let that make her waver. "She was the one


    who approached me and used me of-"


    Damon''smand stopped her midsentence. "Trixie, Haguy?" He jerked his head towards Alexis''s


    "What?" Sarah looked at the back of his head with confusion swirling in her eyes. "I didn''t do-" before


    she could finish her sentence, the two girls rushed over to her, each grabbing an arm. She continued to


    plead as they began to drag her away, but Damon didn''t even bat an eye much less look at her.


    A few secondster, she was harshly shoved into a bedroom, after-which the door was rudely closed in


    her face. She didn''t dare to open it herself as she was scared that the action would only aggravate


    Damon. With a sigh, she sat silently on the floor. Her mind was aplete mess at this point. Damon


    had disregarded her side of the story and had taken Alexis''s side rather than hers. It was either he


    didn''t trust her at all or he had too much trust in Alexis.


    Sarah didn''t know what torture he had in store for her...and she wasn''t sure if she wanted to find out.


    Just thinking about whatid ahead, made her face pale. Mr Knack''s tortures were unbearable so only


    God could tell how cruelly she would be tortured by the Alpha King himself.


    ''I''ll deal with herter.''


    She remembered thest words Damon had uttered and a shiver instantly wracked through her. His


    voice had sounded so deadly and frightening. Sarah couldn''t help but conclude that maybe life with him


    wouldn''t be so perfect after all, even with all the luxuries considered.


    Clenching her eyes shut, she allowed herself toy t against the floor, dangerous anticipation


    coursing within her. The floor didn''t feel anywhere near as cold as in her cell, but it still managed to


    remind her of her time there.


    She drew her legs closer to her chest then sighed once more. Before long, a sleepy feeling overtook


    her and she slowly caved in to sleep. A few momentster, the door was pulled open and someone


    stepped in. Sarah instinctively opened her eyes for a second and was met with Damon''s cold gaze.


    Due to her sleepy state, her mind failed to process the danger she was supposed to be in now that he


    had arrived in their room.


    So without thinking too much about his presence, she closed her eyes once more and was seconds


    away from drifting away into wondend when one hand slipped beneath her back and the other


    slipped underneath her legs. Sarah unconsciously nuzzled into his warm embrace and shifted herself in


    his arms so she could get morefortable.


    "I''ve dealt with her for you..." Damon whispered, but his words didn''t quite register in her mind because


    by then, she had already drifted away to sleep with tingles running wild on her skin.
