Chapter 324 Heavy Heart

DAMON

“What?

My whiskey breath fogs the glass, as my forehead remains pressed to the window

I don’t know why anyone would be knocking on my door. The whole point of staying in this guest room is to stay out of sight, but my household seems to be overrun with people doing whatever the fuck they want.

This room is on the second floor, opposite the end of the house from the master bedroom, and over my office meaning I have a partial view down into Eloise’s office.

And even though she’s pulled the sheer curtains closed over all the windows, I can see the shadow of her as she moves through the space. I can watch her outline as she paces, even if I can’t make out what she was doing, and why she was pacing and it made me so fucking restless.

Now ! regret not putting up cameras in her office because if I did, I would be able to look at her right now..

She’s working too hard. In all hours of the day and night. Pushing herself too far after what she’s been through

Like now, it’s after midnight and the light is still on in her office. I don’t have a view of the whole space, so I can’t be sure what she’s doing, but she’s awake. Because she always turns the lights off to sleep.

And that’s the worst part…

I take a deep breath, my exhale fogging my view all over again.

The worst part is that she’s no longer sleeping in our bed. She’s abandoned it just like I have. And that means I don’t get to have those few private moments with her anymore.

The only moments I had where I was close enough to see her fading bruises. The only moments when I was able to feel the smallest lingering connection with her.

And it’s been nearly a week of this torment.

Not that I deserved better.

I don’t deserve any part of her.

I tried to get the staff to remove the bed she had made up in the corner of her office, but they’ve taken to straight-up defying my demands. Telling me to do it myself.

My fists clench on the windowsill.

Why can no one respect my decision here?

Why can no one understand that I’m doing this for her?

Another, slightly louder knock sounds at the door.

“What?!” I storm across the room. “What do you want?” I bellow, ripping the door open.

Chapter 324 Heavy Heart

And then fieure.

Because it’s her

30 Free Coins

My Eloise.

The sight of her, this close, pulls all the air out of my lungs.

She’s right there.

She’s too close.

“Damon.” Her voice is so quiet and tentative, it claws at my heart.

She’s still afraid of me.

Everything I’ve done to her flashes between us.

The broken lasagna pan was at her feet.

“Knock that off.” I tighten my grip as I carry her away from the front of that hospital. “I like ’em heavy.”

“Remember what I said about shooting anyone who comes to help you?”

Making her fear Alpha.

Her scream when she slipped down the steps, running away from me.

The way she was so focused anytime she treated me, the way she made me feel better.

“You’ll marry me. And it’ll be a contract.”

Her scream before her head hit the steps, as she ran from one of my enemies.

The way she flinched.

The way I fucking hate myself.

“Can we talk?” Her voice trembles, and I force myself to look her in the eye.

Her bruises are mostly gone, only her arm brace remaining to tell of what she went through.

But she looks tired. Weary.

“Go to bed, Eloise.” I amaze myself that I even get the words out.

And before she can say more. Ask more of me. I push the door shut. And lock it.

r

It’s fucking childish. But I need the barrier. Because my own are failing. And if she came any closer, I’d pull her into my arms, no matter how much she fought me. And then I’d more than hate myself.

Mimicking my stance from the window, I drop my forehead against the door.

“Why won’t you come to our room?” Her question is a soft vibration in the wood.
