Young Master Damien's Pet (WN)

Penny stared into Damien's eyes, knowing just well what he was trying to achieve, "Don't change the subject with me. I know it won't be easy but it might turn things for better."

Damien ran his hand through his hair, "Do you remember the alignment of stars. Vivian Carmichael?"

"Yes," she remembered the lady.

"I wanted to make an appointment to have her meet you so that we could discuss what was happening but I haven't been able to get a hold of them."

Penny looked at him with doubt, "What do you mean by that?"

"I wasn't able to reach them."

"They must be traveling," Penny replied for him to sigh.

"Not sure about that. Alex said they came here to visit her brother after that they left Valeria but they haven't reached the mansion. I have a feeling that something happened," Penny walked closer to him, placing her hand on his arm to ask,

"Why do you think so?"

"I sent a letter to the council receiving back the response that they were on a temporary work break which was granted by Lord Nicholas. The little sight of premonition gives me the vibe. We don't know how far it is true and if they are really safe and taking a vacation like us or if something bad happened."

"They must be doing fine," Penny said with a bright smile on her face, "If someone is destined to do something, there must be a way to keep themselves safe and be happy still. I won't end up in the same fate, especially when you are here with me. It must do something with the alignment of stars and not a person going who enters in the council."

"Mouse," Damien said, pulling her to the bed and making her sit at the edge of it, he held both her hands in his, "I know you want to enter the council and want to maybe even revolutionize about the changes for white witches but it won't go well. I say it because aunt Isabelle had tried the road before she only helped people in the churches and the people, but even the people whom she helped turned their backs when she needed them."

Lady Isabelle had tried for the council?

"Shocked?"

"I am. I never heard about it," she frowned. How could she have never heard about it?

"It was the previous head council who was allergic to the witches. When she tried for the exams, she was almost killed. Almost. The story is that uncle Zachary didn't let her take the exam again. Though the councilman is no more, there are minions of his who are still in the council and who follow the no witch to be allowed into the council. You might say you will hide but until when? People are scared for the potential a witch might show if she or he were to enter the council."

"Wait. does that mean Lady Isabelle didn't help in the spilled magic?" she was slightly confused over the facts she had heard. One story overlapping over the other which made it difficult to see on which was right and which was wrong.

Damien shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. Alex is unsure about it too because no one ever spoke about it. Even Reuben is unsure. Where were we? Yes, you don't have to prove or revolutionize people or the lands because not all heroes were walk in the front."

"So I can make things work without going to the council or being part of it?" Penny asked for confirmation.

"Yes. Why do I feel it is going to be more dangerous now," he looked at her with his narrowed eyes, "What are you thinking?"

"When did you meet that councilwoman? She appeared to be someone who was sure to have you unless you were only leading her on," Penny wiggled her brows.

"Jealous?"

"Never," she retorted quickly and he grinned.

"Is that not why you wanted to join the council. I met Evelyn six years ago before she even joined the council. Actually, if I think about it now, she joined the council after I told her I wouldn't talk to peasant-like her."

"But she's pureblooded vampire," Penny pointed out as pureblooded vampires being peasants were very rare.

Damien threw his head back, laughing over what Penny said, "No not like that. I called her a peasant because I felt she was one. After a year, she appeared in the council and came to me telling me how she entered the council."

"Wow, she must really like you then," Penny commented and Damien nodded his head.

"What can I say, I bring out the best and worst out of people," he said to her before adding, "Don't take her words to your heart. My step-mother had decided that she would be the one to the daughter-in-law when she first met her. We did spend some good time together but that was that."

To Penny, it didn't matter much as it was the step-mother and not his real biological in the equation.

"I did tell her it wasn't going to go more than the few touches but she didn't get the memo yet I believe," Damien spoke to himself thoughtfully, "What is it?"

Penny opened her mouth and then closed her mouth before opening it up again, "Ah, it was the day before yesterday when you know-we were-" she said trying to get to the point.

"When we were making love?" Damien asked directly and she felt her cheeks turn warm.

"You said it was your first. How is that possible?" frankly Penny had put Damien in the category of the male species who would have had his fair share of fun when it came to the ladies.

"Oh God, my mouse needs some cleaning in the mind. What? A man cannot stay chaste?" Damien placed a hand on his chest dramatically while pulling away himself from her.

"No offense but you sorta don't come off to be like that."

Damien put his hand down, his face turning into a grimace, "Some women can be dirty at times, you never know where what has been put in there by whom. I had rather prefer to do it with one person who I know it's clean and has never been touched but at the same time doing it with v.i.r.g.i.ns never enticed me. You are special."
