My chin and elbows up, i tried to look as graceful as i can be while we ate. The food has already been served and my sweat is rolling down. I was nervous alright, who wouldn't be? Our chairs were so far apart yet he's looking at me like we're only inches apart.
I gulped. "Is there something on my face?" I said, finally looking at his eyes and seeing his chiseled features that made me more nervous.
"You eat so few. Is the food not your liking?"
It's was obvious that he's exhausted.
"No! This is delicious really." I smiled.
"I see."
The room silenced down once again and i am stuck to my thoughts while deciding if i should tell him what happened earlier or not. And also, i want to ask him something, knowing that it was a simple question he'll probably answer.
I'm not really good at this mate thing.
"Did you get your things from Syrena?" He asks suddenly.
I rose up, steadying my back i answered. "Yeah, those things are kinda disturbing ya know." I chuckled.
"Why?"
"Well having a suit that changed gender is amazing. Also a bag that can carry anything- AMAZING." I said with excitement.
"And.." i trailed off. "The weapon you passed onto me? Is it really yours?"
He stops eating, placing his spoon on the table while slowly looking at me. "You knew."
My jaw dropped. "What? So you gave me something that you stole?" I said, a hint of anger on my voice.
"Not stole. It was handed over to us."
"Stone Pack." I continued.
"Yes, a woman on a brink of death trespassed our territory in the middle of the night. Running as if someone or something was trying to chase her but there was none." He said.
"We met while she stood behind bars, telling me to keep the weapon. She trespassed, everyone knew the code when someone trespasses on my territory." He says, his past going through his head as if he somewhat regrets some points.
"Death." I continued. "So why did you give the weapon to me?"
"There was a letter-" he stops, slowly i noticed that his mood changes. His eyes going darker and his knuckles clutching from anger.
Then i noticed what's gotten him so angry all of a sudden. A smell of blood, not coming from his previous fresh battle but from me. I can smell blood, not much but there was little oozing out from my left cheek.
Shit, this is trouble.
"What is that?!"
"Nothing! Nothing! Calm down your horses!" I said, my palms raised when he rose up and headed towards my chair.
"I smell blood and it's nothing? What were you doing earlier?!"
"I was just wandering around the forest- it's just branches! I didn't fight with anyone."
He touches my left cheek and inspected it carefully, not looking into my eyes. I looked into his,
"It's nothing." I said, pushing his hand away,
he growls at my action.
"I don't like anyone or anything touching you. This is not mere branches. I can smell another wolf's scent on you." He said huskily, his voice restrains to shouting.
"Well it might be kiel-"
"I know their scents, don't fool me. This scent." He stops, bringing his hands into his nose. "Very familiar females scent.. Stone Pack." He growls.
"It's just a scratch!"
"Stone Pack is a far away pack! How could they attack you?! Unless they knew you're my mate then there is no other reason they tried to harm you!"
My eyes widened. "What?"
He stops, turning his head to me. He places his soft touch against my cheeks and pulls me closer. "I'll never let anyone harm my Queen, even if its the Moon Goddess. I'll kill thousandths for you." He said, his eyes still black when he kisses my temple.
He inhales heavily.
"Are you okay?"
It's strange. I can smell something from him. Not his incredible amazing scent, but something that made my face go red instantly. He pulls me more close and raises my chin, his eyes dark, but not from anger.
Lust.
I-I can't.. his scent is too... attracting.
I can feel my eyes going dark from lust, and my eyes slightly closing, anticipating his lips into mine. My hands raised while locking it into his neck, my foot rose as i jumped to his body. I whimpered in pleasure as he locks me to his and our lips crash together.
Our make up session was so rough that everything that we leaned on was literally destroyed. We weren't on one place, we shifted fast places to places inside the room. Hunger for lust, i felt his claws go sharper.
Then i heard a knock, making me open my eyes and forcefully trying to push back the emotions that i felt earlier. Once i felt it slowly being pushed back, i place my palms into his chest and push him with all my strength. He unconsciously back out.
Thankfully there was a knock that made me wake up.
"S-Stop, what were you trying to do?" I said, exhausted. "Bastard." I said, shyness consuming me.
He smirks. "Damn you're so delicious."
I playfully glared at him. I marched down towards the door and opened it, Kiel and Daniel looking at me while Beta Jaxon stood in front of me. I raised an eyebrow, slightly closing the door.
"What?"
"Luna, i wish to speak to the Alpha King." He said with seriousness.
"Why?"
He looked at me shocked. "It's private."
"It's private? Who am i to you? A potato?" I rolled my eyes.
He sighs, probably thinking that i'm annoying and he should see my Mate soon. I laughed. "I'm just kiddi-"
I was cut off when my Mate opened the door from behind and made me almost fall on my face if he didn't support my belly just now. "Jaxon patience, go to my office. We'll discuss matters there." He said while he wraps his arms around me.
I smirked. Heh
Jaxon looks at me with annoyance before walking out.
My Mate once again pulls me inside and closes the door behind us. Placing my hands above me he spoke inches away from me. "You still haven't told me who hurt you."
"You know who."
"Yes but i want to hear it from you."
"But i don't know her name. All i know is she have red hair and probably a little bit shorter than me."
He lets go of me, i placed my hands to his chest, my arms crossed. His eyes rest into mine as i reciprocate his actions.
I really want to know everything about him. But unfortunately, we don't spend time much with each other.
Run.
Run?
Why am i thinking of running?
My hearts beats rapidly. Why am i having these intentions? Why.. why is that every time i look at him..there's a pint of desperation to run away? I don't understand myself.
"What are you thinking?"
I covered my frown with a smile. "Nothing. You just pique my curiosity that's all."
"Ask me." He walks off, while still locking his eyes into mine.
"And what is the price?" I ask.
"You do the same thing."
I knew it.
"Don't want to." I raised an eyebrow. "There's just one thing that's really itching me to ask you. Promise me you'll answer me truthfully."
He stares at me. "Depends."
"No. Promise."
"I can't."
"Please?" I beg.
He smirks. "Fine. Don't blame me if you cry afterward."
"Fine." I agreed.
The thing that's been itching me to ask him is about his name, And i remember Syrena telling me that no one also knows. A mystery that's been here for ages.
I gulped, would he answer? i'm his mate after all.
"What is it? Don't make me stay here for long, my arousal has its limits." He said, a hint of lust and excitement.
Hurriedly i spoke. "Your name."
His eyes widened, but he let me continue.
"Your name. What is it?"
He stares at me blankly before looking down on the ground, seeing him puzzle his thoughts. Thinking if he should say it to me or not.
"I don't have one."
What?
"That's it? You don't have one? Did nobody tried to name you? Are you kidding me!" I said in frustration.
It's somewhat true but also wrong. He doesn't have one? It doesn't make sense! "No. You're not telling the truth."
He rose up, finally looking at my eyes. "Christal, i don't have one.. anymore."
"Anymore? What do you mean?"
He sighs. "You don't have to worry about it. Rest, you have a big day tomorrow. i'm going." He comes towards me and kisses my lips.
He pulls away while i still stood frozen from what he said to me, it all doesn't make sense. "Wait-"
But it was too late.
He left.
