Chapter 32: True Colors

He stepped even closer this time and I took a frightened step back. My heart was thumping hard against my ribs and I was so afraid that I completely stopped breathing.
He kept coming forward, and I kept backing away, till my back was flattened against a wall. When he placed a hand on the spot above my head, I flinched, my heart flying into my throat at once.
This time, he let out a low chuckle as he grasped my chin and tilted my head up so our eyes locked.
"I’ll never hurt you kitten, so there’s no need to be frightened."
I swallowed emptily, blinking up at him for a moment before glancing away.
When I spoke this time, I didn’t recognize my own voice. "So, I have to marry you, or lose my pack?"
The sound of Damon letting out a sigh filled up the room before he spoke. "I dont understand why you’re now sentimental. From all that I’ve gathered so far, you weren’t treated well by your family, and your sister married your mate while your parents supported her. You were even sent to go capture Angelo, when no one else has succeeded— that felt to me like you were sent on purpose to go die. So, why do you still care about those people?"
I bit at the inside of my cheek while feeling unsure of how to respond. I felt embarrassed after what he just said right now, because listing everything out now is making me feel like a fool.
