Mated To The Ruthless Alpha King
His True Face

Damon's fingers gripped her shoulders tightly, holding her against his chest. As a result of theirproximity, Sarah felt his heart beating against her back but she failed to notice that the intervalsbetween each heartbeat lessened as time passed.

Before they could get too engrossed in each others warmth, Damon tightened his hold on hershoulders and easily lifted her into the air then swivelled on his feet and dropped her behind him.Sarah stiffened and stood silently in place like a statue even when he placed her feet against thefloor. She was too overwhelmed by both her near death experience and Damon's abruptappearance.

"Alexis, I suppose you can tell me what's going on here?" Damon boomed, facing the three girls thathad been rendered dumb by the power of fear.

Alexis who was under the impression that Sarah fell because she poked her, flinched as her facedrained of colour. Guilt didn't run through her despite her thoughts, she was simply scared for herlife, so much so that she wished she had not dared to encounter or even spoken to Sarah. She had avague idea of what would happen next but she couldn't bare to imagine herself in that position. Shehad been living here for five years straight and now, she was about to get in trouble because of afilthy woman who had just arrived hours ago? Over her dead body!

"She was the one who started it first!" Alexis cried, pointing at her with a petrified finger. ThoughSarah's eyes widened at the false accusation, she didn't feel the least bit sorry. Lying was her onlyway out of this situation. "I was just going about my business when she threatened me!"

"Is that true?" Damon turned his head towards Sarah, eyes looking as cold as ice. She wasn't anidiot. She could easily tell that he was angry, very angry. But what made her quiver was the fact thathis anger was directed at her, the innocent one.

"I-I d-didn't-" she swallowed, fiddling with her fingers nervously. She desperately wanted to speakup for herself, but Damon's cold gaze stroke fear into her. It was her first time seeing him in thisstate. Last time, he had gotten angry at her for no reason but this time was different, it didn't evenseem like he recognized her as his mate neither did it seem like he cared whether she was scared ornot.

"Are you incapable of speaking? Do I need to draw an answer out of you myself?"

She flinched at the threat. Why was he angry at her when she didn't do anything? She looked up atthe woman who had framed her, eyes catching the way her lips twitched upwards for a second thendownturned once more. She was enjoying this..That much was obvious. Her friends were silentlystanding by her, so they were just as bad as she was.

Sarah frowned and directed her gaze back at Damon. To put it simply, he looked just about ready tomurder someone....She couldn't just sit and let herself get accused. "I didn't t-threaten anyone.”From the corner of her eyes, she saw Alexis stiffen, but she didn't let that make her waver. "She wasthe one who approached me and accused me of-"

Damon's command stopped her midsentence. "Trixie, Haguy?" He jerked his head towards Alexis'slackeys. "Take her to her room. I'll deal with her later.”

"What?" Sarah looked at the back of his head with confusion swirling in her eyes. "I didn't do-"before she could finish her sentence, the two girls rushed over to her, each grabbing an arm. Shecontinued to plead as they began to drag her away, but Damon didn't even bat an eye much lesslook at her.

A few seconds later, she was harshly shoved into a bedroom, after-which the door was rudely closedin her face. She didn't dare to open it herself as she was scared that the action would only aggravateDamon. With a sigh, she sat silently on the floor. Her mind was a complete mess at this point.Damon had disregarded her side of the story and had taken Alexis's side rather than hers. It waseither he didn't trust her at all or he had too much trust in Alexis.

Sarah didn't know what torture he had in store for her..and she wasn't sure if she wanted to replaceout. Just thinking about what laid ahead, made her face pale. Mr Knack's tortures were unbearableso only God could tell how cruelly she would be tortured by the Alpha King himself.

'I'll deal with her later.

She remembered the last words Damon had uttered and a shiver instantly wracked through her. Hisvoice had sounded so deadly and frightening. Sarah couldn't help but conclude that maybe life withhim wouldn't be so perfect after all, even with all the luxuries considered.

Clenching her eyes shut, she allowed herself to lay flat against the floor, dangerous anticipationcoursing within her. The floor didn't feel anywhere near as cold as in her cell, but it still managed toremind her of her time there.

She drew her legs closer to her chest then sighed once more. Before long, a sleepy feeling overtookher and she slowly caved in to sleep. A few moments later, the door was pulled open and someonestepped in. Sarah instinctively opened her eyes for a second and was met with Damon's cold gaze.Due to her sleepy state, her mind failed to process the danger she was supposed to be in now thathe had arrived in their room.

So without thinking too much about his presence, she closed her eyes once more and was secondsaway from drifting away into wonderland when one hand slipped beneath her back and the otherslipped underneath her legs. Sarah unconsciously nuzzled into his warm embrace and shifted herselfin his arms so she could get more comfortable.

"I've dealt with her for you..." Damon whispered, but his words didn't quite register in her mindbecause by then, she had already drifted away to sleep with tingles running wild on her skin.0000O0O
