Alpha Damien's Trouble Maker (by Ruby Anne) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Selene

My voice echoed through the quiet room, sounding seductive yet playful at the same time, the words hanging in the air like a challenge. If anyone else had heard me speaking to him in that tone, they would have been completely confused, unsure whether I was trying to seduce him or simply annoy him on purpose. No, who was I kidding? If anyone had heard me using that tone with Alpha Damien, they would have lost their minds entirely. After all, who would dare talk to the Alpha like that without immediately losing their life? Only someone who was truly tired of living would act this way toward the demon of

the west.

But I didn’t care.

I wasn’t scared. I had never been scared of him. The only difference between me now and my old self was that today felt like I had won a lottery ticket. I was in an exceptionally good mood after everything that had happened at the warrior rite. I had gained far more than I had expected, powerful weapons, new connections, and the satisfaction of seeing certain things fall into place. And when I was in a good mood like this, I tended to become fearless, acting however I wanted without worrying too much about the consequences. This was clearly one of those days.

Besides, I didn’t actually think the cold–blooded Alpha would do what I said. I was just teasing him, pushing to see how he would react. He would probably kill me on the spot or simply turn around and leave. Who knew? Even at this stage of my powers, I still doubted I could truly beat the demon of the west. es, he was that powerful.

He was like a bottomless well, a man whose power ran so deep that no matter how much you tried to fill it, the well would never be full. His strength felt unlimited, endless in a way that defied logic. I still wondered sometimes how he had become like that. He was supposed to be just a werewolf like everyone else, yet somehow his power could rival that of a living god. I couldn’t fully understand that part of him, but it didn’t really matter. I wasn’t the type to search for explanations for every single thing in life. I preferred to observe from afar, even if I still didn’t understand what force had brought us together again in this lifetime.

How could I end up lying in the bed of the very man who had killed me in all my past lives? I must be crazy. But then again, I had always been a little crazy to begin with.

As

my

words finished echoing softly through the room, Alpha Damien simply looked at me, his crimson eyes locked onto mine with that intense, unreadable stare. Then, slowly, his lips quirked up into a smirk.

That smirk should have made me feel at least a little more at ease. At the very least, it should have told me he found what I said amusing, and maybe even calmed the nervous energy running through me. But it did the exact opposite. The moment his lips curved into that dangerous smirk, I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry as my pulse quickened even more.

Mira, my annoying wolf, chuckled inside my head, her voice dripping with amusement. ‘How funny, Selene. You are still clueless. You think you’re the one in charge of the situation, when that is exactly what he made you think all along. Feel

other than the two of us? He sent everyone out because you are just his prey in around you. Do you feel any other presence other than the two

a trap.

My heart skipped a hard beat as I looked at him, and I almost cused my wolf out loud for betraying me like that, but I didn’t have time to argue with her right now. Instead, I forced a mile onto my face and tried to sit up properly on the bed, keeping my voice light as I said, “Hmm, I will be going back to my room now.”

I was about to stand up and create some much–needed distance when, in a flash, he moved. Before I could even finish the motion, he caught me in his grasp, turned around smoothly, and sat down while wrapping one strong arm around my waist. In one effortless movement, he pulled me right onto his lap like t was the most natural thing in the world.

I gasped sharply, my mouth falling open in surprise as I instinctively placed both hands on his bare shoulders to steady myself. The speed and ease with which he had done it completely caught me off guard. I held onto his shoulders tightly, my eyes wide

open as I stared at the man now holding me so possessively, one hand firm on my waist and the other resting shamelessly on my ass.

My dress, the one I clearly hadn’t put on myself, though I hadn’t made a big deal about who changed me, had ridden up
