Chapter 374 – How Many Women Are In The Dungeon?

Neither of them wanted to sleep because they relished this peace that descended on them, and if they were awake, there was a chance for more sex.

"Damon?"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't I tell you that I need space and I don't want to see you? Why did you dress up in my nightwear and approach me? You probably felt how angry I was.", Talia said. Sure, she couldn't make herself hate him, and all those wonderful orgasms got her into a blissful state, but she still had questions.

Damon tightened his hold on Talia. "It's exactly because I could feel your emotions that I had to come here. Good or bad, I want to be by your side, kitten. If you are happy, I want to bask in your happiness. If you are angry, I want to be angry with you. And if you are angry at me…then, feel free to vent. Shout, punch, bite, do your worst. I will take it. The only thing I can't handle is when we are not together. I asked you this more than once, don't leave me."

Talia was moved by his words, and she had to point out, "I was not leaving you. I just wanted space to sort out my thoughts."

"If you want to sort anything, do it with me around.", Damon grumbled. He let out a long breath. "I hope you know that I didn't kick Nora out immediately only because I was hoping to send her away without causing issues. At least that's what I was thinking before she reached my desk, and that's the moment you got there."

Talia knew this but she didn't like seeing Nora get so close to Damon. There was a desk between them, and even if there were ten of those, Talia would still not be happy.

Talia was irked by Nora's confident and snobby attitude. It reminded her of Lisa. Would they act like that if they knew that Talia was Damon's mate? Probably not.

But there was a good side to this situation. If everyone knew that Talia was Damon's mate, they would suck up to her and probably backstab her when no one was looking. Like this, Talia got to see the ugly side of people, the side they would never reveal in front of a Luna.

"What did you do to Nora?", Talia asked.

"Dungeon."

Talia lifted her head to look at him. "How big is the dungeon?"

Damon's brows came together. "Why?"

"It seems you are sending your exes there so, we should make sure we can accommodate all of them."

Damon didn't think it was funny. "Don't call them my exes. It sounds like I was dating them. And it's not like there are many of them."

"Five."

Damon didn't get it. "What?"

"So far, you sent five of your exes into the dungeon. Actually, Lisa is not your ex, so that makes it four, but she is still there, so I counted her in."

"Who are the other four?"

"Ashley and Heather.", Talia said. Seeing Damon's confused expression, Talia reminded him, "Two women who confronted me in front of the library. They were in the study, smearing me as someone who was claiming you shamelessly, and the two of them ended in the dungeon."

"Oh…", Damon made a sound of understanding. He forgot about those two.

"And then there is Jill. The woman I encountered in the restroom of the Shifters nightclub."

Damon remembered the incident and that he sent a woman to the dungeon, but he didn't see her face, so he was not sure which one is it. However, he sent her to the dungeon secretly. "How do you know about her?"

"Maya told me.", Talia said smugly. "With Nora and Lisa, that makes it five. I don't know about Lisa, but how long will the other four be there?"

"You should count Lisa in that group also."

Talia was alerted. "Did you sleep with Lisa?"

Damon tapped Talia's nose with the tip of his finger. "Those five are not my exes. They are women who dared to look down on you. They will come out when you decide."

"Oh…", it was Talia's turn to make a sound of understanding. She thought of them as Damon's exes and Lisa, and now that he put it that way, it made sense that he imprisoned women who crossed her, but… "Is looking down on me enough to earn them time in the dungeon?"

"Looking down on a woman? No.", Damon responded. "Looking down on my mate, yes. My mate will be the Luna of this pack. Disrespect to you is also disrespecting me, and the pack, and the Moon Goddess. It doesn't get worse than that."

"But they didn't know I am your mate."

Damon shrugged. "That doesn't matter. They all knew that you are the woman by my side. If they question the type of our relationship, that's disrespect to me, and that's…"

"Disrespect to the pack.", Talia finished instead of him.

Damon chuckled. "Exactly. Don't feel sorry for them, kitten. I am not an Alpha because I allow my pack members to walk over me. Thanks to me they have their current lives and freedom, that alone should be enough to require their respect. If they won't give it, they are free to leave, but I won't tolerate anyone living on my territory and enjoying benefits while looking down on me."

Talia stared at Damon while processing his words. With her, Damon was kind and gentle and playful and goofy, and it was easy to forget who he was… the Alpha of the largest pack in North America.

Talia pressed her lips into a line as she realized an important point. "I am sorry for leaving the study in anger. I was consumed by my emotions and insecurities, and I forgot to look at the situation for what it was. Nora came to your office and acted out of line, yet instead of kicking her out, I was only thinking how you slept with her."

Damon felt guilt eating him up. He was not a saint, far from it, but Talia was innocent in all this, yet she was acting like a grownup.

"Don't be hard on yourself, kitten."

"But I must.", Talia said. "I am not a girl from the attic anymore. I am the mate of the most powerful and handsome Alpha, and I will be his Luna, and I need to act like it. I know that you are mine and that you won't betray me, but I still walked out like an insecure girl throwing a tantrum."

Damon's chest swelled with pride. That's his mate! And another thing also swelled, in his crotch area.

Damon moved to push Talia with his body to lay on her back with him on top of her.

"I thought we were talking.", Talia said when she realized what he was up to.

Damon chuckled. "Didn't you say how you want to act like a Luna? The night is still young, and you need to take care of your Alpha."

Talia wanted to say something cheeky, but she realized that Damon was right. It was night, and she wanted to focus on him and not some random things.
