**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah 129**

**Chapter 129**

“There are,” Ruby said, her voice a mix of excitement and urgency. She pointed toward a corner of the room, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I spotted Damien over there. If you’d like, you could go speak with him now. It’s the perfect chance to express your gratitude.”

I hesitated, my heart sinking at the thought. The last thing I wanted was to engage with Damien and Claire, especially if they were still wrapped up in each other’s presence.

“Look, he’s just over there,” Ruby insisted, her enthusiasm palpable. “And it really is quite the spectacle! He’s with his new Luna, Claire. I’ve heard this is their first public appearance together.”

My breath hitched. “His… what?”

**Damien’s POV**

It took what felt like an eternity to disentangle myself from Claire. At least she had the decency to promise not to refer to herself as my Luna anymore, but I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that the damage was already done.

I needed to reach Amelia before the poison of Claire’s lies could seep into her mind. But with the throng of bodies surrounding me, locating her felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Yet, after what seemed like an endless search, I finally caught sight of her. She was moving gracefully through the crowd, and my heart raced as I made my way toward her.

I was desperate to speak with her, to offer my heartfelt congratulations, and simply to bask in her presence once more. Being near her filled the void that had consumed me in her absence. Even from across the room, I could feel the warmth spreading through me, my heart beginning to dance as if it had been awakened from a long slumber.

I was a lifeless shell, suddenly infused with vitality by the mere thought of my mate.

Even with Jake hovering near her, my body reacted instinctively, my wolf stirring restlessly within me, eager and anxious.

Finally, I was close enough for her to notice me. A smile broke across my face when our eyes locked, and I hoped to find the warmth that had characterized our past encounters.

But her gaze remained frosty, devoid of the warmth I craved, and she quickly turned away.

A wave of concern washed over me, but I pressed on, undeterred in my desire to reach her.

“Amelia,” I called out as I drew nearer, urgency lacing my voice. “I just want to—”

“Shouldn’t you be returning to your Luna?” she interrupted, her tone flat and devoid of emotion. “I’m sure she’s missing you.”
