Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470

Instinctively, I moved closer to him. We weren’t touching yet, but we were only a foot and a half away from each other now, close enough to reach out and touch, if only one of us would make that move.

“Why do you think you are going to lose me?” I asked. He was being unusually vulnerable, showing me this side of him. I both wanted to respect it, while also learning more. Maybe if we could uncover the root cause of this fear, I could help him combat it.

“You were almost taken from me so many times,” Damien said. “There were times when… I thought I did lose you.”

I tried to think back. He could have been talking about when I was taken in the van but I felt like this was deeper than that. This last time, he came to my rescue and saved me before I could be hurt. The hurt in his face told of something far worse.

Though I was standing in front of him whole and healthy, he looked like he was grieving.

“I don’t know what happened in the past, or what you are facing now,” I said. “But when you act like this, you are pushing me away, Damien. You aren’t seeing me as your partner. You are seeing me as someone who needs to be managed and controlled. I just want to be loved.”

“I do love you.”

“Then see the value I have, not just as someone to be possessed, but as a helper. An asset to your pack and your life. I’m your Luna. You need to depend on me. I can’t do anything from this house. This room. You need to trust me.”

“I’m trying…” he said. “I swear I am. I don’t want you to feel like a prisoner. Things are difficult, but I care about you so much.”

“I know you do,” I said, and inched closer to him. I held myself open, showing him that I accepted what he had to give me, if only he would try.

He did try. In that moment, closed the final distance between us, pulling me into his arms. His hold was gentle. Like this, I knew I could step back and away and he wouldn’t try to stop me. But I didn’t. I wanted to be held

close this time.

“I’m going to try harder,” he promised me. “I want you to feel safe but not trapped.”

“And I will do my best to stay safe for you,” I told him.

He kissed the top of my head.

Ruth’s POV

With how much time Richard wanted to spend getting to know Sienna and becoming reacquainted with me, we didn’t get to actually sit down and talk about what really happened with at the Alpha King’s banquet until we had been in rogue lands for several days.

As I finally reported to him and his council of what I had seen and done, Richard looked as if he would have jumped across the room to hold me.

Instead, eyes bright, he asked, “Alpha King Benedict left his gilded palace. You are sure of this?”

“Yes,” I confirmed. “He seemed in no hurry to return either, from what I’ve heard. He was going to stay until the fugitives’ have been captured.”

“He could leave now that you’ve escaped,” Richard said and gave it a moment’s thought. “No. The man is too prideful. He will not return home until the deed is done.”

Richard clapped his hand and laughed. “Gods, we’ve finally been given a chance. What luck that Benedict would actually leave the place he was most protected!”
