Chapter 201
“It’s nothing,” he muttered, refusing to meet my eyes.
I folded my arms across my chest and shook my head firmly.
“It’s not nothing if it’s affecting you this badly,” I said exhaling and eying him intensely, “wer’re family Damien. Whatever’s troubling you, you can tell me,” I insisted, “I’ll be there for you, no questions asked big brother. Just let me in,” I pleaded, “I can share the burden if nothing else. I won’t even tell father if that’s what you want. 1 ust can’t bear for there to be secrets between us. Don’t shut me out,” I said as he flushed and began to look guilty.
“I just,” he breathed out, “I’m finding it hard to come to turns with it, that’s all.”
“Come to terms with what? Everybody has noticed you’re acting differently. That you’re not the same as you usually are. We’re concerned,” I added, unfolding my arms and putting a gentle hand on his shoulder.
“It’s nothing to be worried about. I just have to make a choice that’s all and it’s a difficult one.”
“Are you thinking about leaving your pack?” I gasped.
He laughed.
“No, not that kind of choice. I would never leave the Shadow Pack or abandon father. It’s not that kind of decision, it’s more personal,” he muttered, “and I’m not sure how you or anybody else would react to it.”
“I love you Damien. I won’t judge you for any decision you make. You know that. I care about you and what you need. I just want you to be happy,” I insisted, “and if you need help, I’ll always be there.”
He sighed.
“What if I told you that this is because I might have found my mate,” he divulged and I instantly perked right up, happiness taking over me.
“You found your mate?” I almost squealed, “I can’t believe it. When did you realize?”
“I felt it when were on the grounds fighting against the hunters,” he said tightly.
I frowned. He was acting peculiar. Like he wasn’t happy about it.
