Heyyy! Sorry I haven't been writing lately.... enjoy

The past few days, Damien was swarmed with work though. It was becoming a rare occasion for us to even eat together, but he was obviously stressed. Whenever I would try to pry, he would shut me down. I could tell something wasn't right, but I didn't want to bother him

I spent my days wandering the castle and sometimes I would try- key word, try- to paint. 

I looked up from the magnificent windows I was looking out of. I was sitting on a plush, velvet couch that had intricate golden accents. 

Damien stood a few feet away from me, his hair deshevled and his eyes were tinted red like he had insomnia. It was evident he hadn't been sleeping the past few days. I knew he was anxious about something but I didn't know it was taking this great of a toll on him

I raised my eyebrow and pressed my lips together out of concern. I gently stood up from my couch and approached him.

I stood less than a foot away from him, I reached my hand out to him, and cupped the side of his face.

My gorgeous mate tilted his head into my hand, his dark obsidian eyes closing, letting his long eyelashes fan over his high cheekbones 

He hummed slightly as I drew small circles on his temples, trying to sooth him

"Whats wrong, Damien tell me" I whispered, intently staring at his face 

Damien took my small hand in his and led me to the couch I was sitting at. He plopped down and dragged me into his lap. I feel onto him, huffing slightly at the unexpected impact. 

My mate circled his arms around my back and legs, cradling me in his large, broad chest 

I instinctively rested my head against the crook of his neck, peacefully listen to his heartbeat heave with sorrow. 

"Dark magic is back" Damien said, his voice so heavy that I could tell those very words seemed to break his soul. He was vulnerable, scared 

I stiffened, Ricin had worn me about this, but I didn't expect Damien would be involved in it

"There is a war brewing... lives will be lost, this pack is being threatened. But no matter, I will protect you no matter what" Damien growled out, his frustration and raw anger laced in his words

I will still tense, Damien wouldn't have told me this unless there was a reason. Over the past months I have found that my mate wouldn't utter a word of something bad unless it threatened me in a way he couldn't control, he preferred to keep me in a blissful ignorance.

I understood why he did it, he still thought I was a weak omega whose bones would break if someone even punched me. 

"There is something your not telling me, what is it" I said, my voice grim
