Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Damien’s POV

The timing of Annette’s amnesia was beyond suspicious. Suddenly Amelia was gone, and Annette was there in the next minute with no memories? Yet, I could tell this line of conversation was making her uncomfortable as she frowned, getting angry with me.

She probably had good reason to be with what I was implying. I was mad at me too.

There was no way this woman could be the same person as my Amelia. Though their facial features were similar, their hair, eyes, and smell were all different. And as Annette was Martin and Lillian’s child, she was a werewolf, not human like Amelia. Any similarities had to be coincidence.

I had to admit that Annette was Annette. Amelia was gone and she wasn’t coming back.

“Annette, there you are,” said a voice from behind me. Turning, I recognized one of the elite’s from Jake’s pack, though I never really cared to learn his name. I thought it started with an I. Ivan? Igor?

“Ian,” Annette said.

Ah. That was it.

“I was waiting for you in the courtyard,” he said. “When you didn’t return, I was worried.”

“I was only gone a few minutes,” Annette said.

“It was nearly thirty,” Ian said. He walked by me on his way to Annette, side-eying me as he went. “What were you doing in here? Was Alpha Damien bothering you?”

“We were just talking,” I said.

“I think I’d rather hear that from my date, thank you,” Ian said.

Date? Oh hell no. I didn’t know much about Annette, but I knew she deserved better than this egotistical prick. He was the kind of noble that gave all of them a bad name, only really caring about money and status. Likely he only wanted Annette because she was Jake’s sister.

“Annette, why don’t you go on ahead?” Ian suggested. “I would like to talk to Alpha Damien about a few things.”

Annette’s face scrunched in confusion as she looked over at me. Maybe she thought I might not approve. Well, she was wrong about that. I had more than a few things I wanted to share with Ian as well.

“It’s okay, Annette. We’ll catch up later,” I said.

She nodded, took a few steps, but then stopped. Blushing lightly, she looked back at us. “I, uh… don’t know how to get out of here. I’m lost…”

I smiled a bit fondly, surprising myself.

Ian sighed like he was embarrassed by her. “Two lefts and a right. That’s how you get out.”

“Thanks,” Annette said, blushing even more now as she turned and disappeared into the shrubbery.

The minute she was gone, Ian turned to me, annoyance clearer on his features now than when Annette was near, though I detected the same overall amount coming from him. He just hadn’t wanted Annette to know about it.

As their relationship progressed, if it were to, I imagined that would change. Ian would only keep up pretenses for

1/2

so long before Annette would come to know the true man underneath.

The man who would settle for nothing less than the very best.

“Annette is not Amelia, but she is my date,” Ian said. “I don’t know what you are thinking but you need to back off.”

“I have no interest in romantically pursuing Annette,” I told him. “So you are wasting your time with this, whatever this is.” I gestured toward him. “I would also remind you that I am an Alpha and not easily intimidated, especially by someone who doesn’t hold a pack title.”

“Maybe I don’t right now, but I will someday.”
