Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 123 Damien 15 vouchers I watched her walk away, my expression calm and unreadable. She didn't look back, moving forward with confidence that made it seem as though the world ahead of her belonged to her already. Her steps were light, and I could see the way her eyes took everything in, the way excitement flickered through her movements as she headed straight for the arena, as if danger itself were an invitation rather than a warning. Just as her figure blended into the crowd, Yara stepped forward with several guards at her side.

The moment they noticed me, they all dropped to one knee and bowed without hesitation. Conversations around us died down, and people nearby slowed, confusion and curiosity rippling through the area. "Huh? What's going on?" someone whispered not far away. "Who is that?" another murmured, eyes wide. "Do you think that's Alpha Damien?" a third voice said cautiously. "That's Yara bowing, and she doesn't bow to anyone except the alpha." "I don't know," someone else replied nervously, already stepping back. "But let's keep our distance.

If that really is Alpha Damien, you know he hates people crowding him. Making him angry is basically a death sentence." One of the men looked at me with respect. "Alpha," he said smoothly, "you're here. Your tent is ready. Since the Crimson Warrior Rite will last three days, everything has been prepared for your stay." I didn't respond, or even look at him. My gaze was still fixed on the direction she had gone, on the place where she had disappeared into the mass of warriors.

She was already far ahead now, practically glowing with anticipation, as though she couldn't wait to throw herself into chaos and see what would come of it. I tilted my head slightly and murmured under my breath, "How interesting." For a while, Thane had been silent, his anger simmering beneath the surface ever since I refused to mark her. He hadn't said a word for days, sulking like a beast denied what it believed was rightfully his. But now, finally, his voice cut through my thoughts. 'Interesting?' he echoed. 'Aren't you far too relaxed, Damien?' 'Relaxed?' Yes, Thane snapped. 'Relaxed.

Aren't you worried that our mate is about to get injured, or killed? You know how brutal the rite can be. And if anyone dares lay a hand on my mate, I won't hesitate to take control, and tear them apart.' I raised an eyebrow slightly at his fury. I had always known my wolf was possessive, just as I was, but when it came to her. his instincts abandoned all reason. 12:27 Tue, Feb 3 M... Chapter 123 63 voucher Keeping my expression indifferent, I finally answered him back. "Tell me something, Thane.

What exactly is your opinion of her?' 'My opinion?' Thane repeated, his voice low and instinctive. 'My opinion of her is simple. She is my mate, and naturally my mate needs my protection." I didn't bother arguing with him over the word mate. Thane had already decided it the moment he sensed her, and once my wolf claimed something, trying to reason with him was a waste of breath. Still, that didn't mean he was right about everything. "That is exactly where you are wrong,' I replied calmly. Thane went quiet at once, clearly caught off guard.

'She is not as weak as you think she is,' I continued. 'And she definitely doesn't need our protection. She's like a fox, cunning, clever, and adaptable. She may look harmless, but the moment you let your guard down, she'll strike when you least expect it. Even when there's no way out, she won't give up. She'll claw her way forward until she gets what she wants. Someone like her is anything but weak.' For a moment, there was only silence between us. Then Thane let out a low, amused chuckle. 'I see,' he said slowly. 'You seem to know quite a lot about her.

And that can only mean one thing, you've been watching her yourself.' This time, I didn't answer. Because he was right. I had been watching her, far more than I cared to admit. From the palace corridors to the quiet rooms, I'd observed how she spoke with grace, smiling easily while her eyes remained sharp and calculating. Even when she appeared relaxed, her attention never wavered. She was always gathering information, always planning several steps ahead. I'd seen how her gaze casually swept a room, noting escape routes, guard positions, blind spots, details most people never noticed.

She was intelligent, far more intelligent than any woman I had ever encountered, and that alone was dangerous. I was a man who rarely left his study unless it was absolutely necessary, and yet, over the past few days, I found myself lingering where she was, watching her from the shadows. I was drawn to her. And perhaps that was exactly why she fascinated me. I didn't even know whether I should find it amusing or concerning. Either way, I wasn't the type to overthink things. If I wanted something, I took it. Simple as that.

And whatever this pull toward her was, I had no intention of rejecting it. Still, I hadn't expected to see her dressed like a boy and walking straight into the Crimson Warrior Rite of all places. That alone should have worried me. Instead, it stirred something else, interest, and curiosity. If she was here, then perhaps this rite wouldn't be as dull as it always was. 12:27 Tue, Feb 3 M... Chapter 123 A 58 55 vouchers 'I doubt she'll get hurt,' I told Thane.

'And if she does, anyone who harms even a single hair on her head won't live to see another day." Thane let out a satisfied, approving groan, his agreement vibrating through my chest. I turned away from the arena then, only to catch Remi's gaze lingering on me. He was smiling as if he could see straight through my thoughts, and already understood everything I hadn't said out loud. I ignored him and shifted my attention to the man. "What about Remi's tent," I asked. "Is it prepared?" The man blinked, clearly caught off guard by the question, before bowing his head. "Yes, Alpha.

I can show him the way immediately if you're worried about his health." "Awwn, thank you for worrying about me, Damien-" "No need," I replied without pause. "Remi will stay in the contestants' tent, since he's the doctor in charge of the arena." Everyone was shocked. A few guards exchanged glances. Even Yara, Kauis, and Jason stiffened slightly. Remi's smile vanished in an instant, his mouth falling open as if he'd been struck. "Wait, Damien-" he started, but I was already walking away. Behind me, I heard laughter break out, directed at him. I didn't slow my steps or look back.

Let him suffer for once. Next time, he wouldn't touch what belonged to me. 田 AD Comment Send gift Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
