I inhaled some air and bit my bottom lip. I never had bowed in my whole life, this was crushing my pride. But who cares? He's my mate.. right?
And i did it. I bowed in respect as the other did before me. But humiliation didn't hit me or the feeling of my crushed pride. But when he walked passed me, i confirmed something.
When he told me that i was mad, he was really referring to the respect for the king.
Everyone stood up and the crowd dispersed.
I don't understand.
I could feel my bodyguard's eyes look at me with pity and i didn't care. Atleast not to them. Then i felt it, when i saw a drop of water fall infront of me while i still bowed.
it was tears.
I should be angry, frustrated and really confront him about this. I was that kind of girl from the start. But.. i just felt miserable all of a sudden, tears won't stop from falling.
"Luna.." Kiel pats my back. "Stand up, people are looking."
I pushed him away.
"Luna.. we'll take you to a place you want just for tonight!" Daniel tries to lighten me up.
I sobbed and sobbed. Tears won't stop even if i tried to wipe them endlessly.
When they tried to stand me up, i growled at them. Pushing their hands away i said. "Let go, i can stand by myself."
"He's doing it for a reason." Kiel says.
"You mean he hurt me for a useless reason?"
Seeing that i longer no have a reason to do this anymore. I turned a heel and walked back to where i came from. Hoping that Maybe my Mate headed there. They followed me until i reached where i was staying.
When i was all alone once again, i placed my hands on the doorknob and slowly twisted it. The darkness roaming around the small house, a sign that there was no one here.
I sighed. Maybe he's just late.
I walked towards the bed and sat there. I waited and waited. The clock ticking was loud from the silence it traveled. My eyes showed tiredness and sleepiness but i pushed it all away.
I waited for 5 hours, and i didn't notice at all. He didn't come then. I placed my head to my forehead and groaned in frustration.
I raised up and headed outside, trying to feel the soft forest air as it passes around me. I didn't think of anything else, i only stared at the tree and gazed at the stars above me. The night was so similar to something.
A memory.
I know it is but i can't tell.
I touched the trunk of the tree, feeling the roughness and trying to compare the pain i felt in the past. Everything was deja Vu. I should stop thinking about these things, i'm just hallucinating.
When i removed my hand on the tree, my eye flickered sideways. An Enemy, i could tell, he was no RedBloodMoon and if he was here, he has surely passed our borders, but that's impossible. The RedBloodMoon Pack's borders from north to west were solid as steel.
I pretended to not notice it and slowed my pace to the different direction from my house.
I knew it, he's following me.
Should i confront this's guy head to head? I don't have much battle experience but who knows.
I grinned.
While i ran continuously on the forest, excitement thrilled through my bones and i found this situation a challenge rather than danger.
This could help with my training, i thought.
What a strange guy, i've ran for 2 hours yet there was no sign of attack or confrontation even if he was near me. My brows furrowed, he's not here to fight me? That's boring if he's just another guard that my mate sent.
But that's impossible, he was no RedBloodMoon.
I stopped, he also did.
The air around is slowed down as i looked above, big trees surrounded us meaning that i'm near the forest of Mujak, the largest forest around here. Something bugged me, it's that i think he knew that i know he was following me.
I sniffed the air, gina giving me powers for support. My eyes widened when i smelled a familiar scent.
"Why did you stop?"
I know this scent. My body hair literally stood up.
I gulped, i was facing the opposite while he stood behind me. He asked me a stupid question but i couldn't answer. He just felt so familiar, that's why i'm afraid that if i faced him, i won't be able to be near him anymore.
"Who the fuck are you?" I lowly growled.
He chuckled. "You don't remember me?"
"The guy on the entrance of Delta." I replied.
I rolled my eyes when he laughed, his voice echoing around us. "Are you serious?"
"Do i look i have a time to be joking around with stupid people like you?"
"Then why are you afraid to face me?"
I gulped, so he noticed i was talking to him while he faced my back. Well duh christal, he talked to my back for a minute there.
"I'm not afraid of your weak ass."
"Afraid." He coughs with a hand on his mouth.
I clutched my fist, turning a heel i stood with no care when i faced him. I was immediately tranced when i saw his face up close. My body burned and my head banged for a moment, conversations picking up from my head.
I held it.
"Don't tell me you forgot." He said huskily.
I shook my head, it's hurting again. His face was so familiar but i couldn't remember who. Who is he? "Get away from me!"
He stepped forward and i screamed. "I DON'T KNOW YOU!"
"I know you don't, but you know this face." He said.
The sunset showed around us, making me see his face more when the sunlight struck his face.
I shook my head.
"How could you forget?!" He shouts, making me jump from shock. His face was stone cold before but right now it showed anger. "You forgot your greatest sin?"
"Stop making me think falsely."
"Falsely? I tell no lies, right from the very start." He replies.
I shake my head once again, "why the hell did you follow me for two hours?"
"I wanted to confirm something." He said, playing with the stone on his toe.
"Confirm what?"
"You forgot, but is it?"
"You're saying i'm pretending to not know you?" I said, my voice obviously showing annoyance.
"You said that, i didn't."
I rolled my eyes. "I don't have time to speak with strangers, so walk away before i knock you out dead here. Unless you don't want your last days to be with me." I smiled at him.
He smirks. "Man.. you're a bitch."
I glared at him. My canines slowly showing and i let it. I want to kill this guy, But even after i can do that, he was nowhere to be found on a split second, As if he joined with the winds.
My legs wobbled and i let myself fall down. Placing my hand on my forehead, i looked up. What kind of situations i'm getting at? My hands was still slightly shaking, it wasn't because of fear.
It's his face, it gave me trillions of chills.
I closed my eyes, I felt tired and i wanted to sleep. I stood up and walked back.
His scent filled my nose, and i knew that he was there.
Home.
"Where have you been?" His voice reaching there from here. I looked at him before returning my gaze on the ground.
"I just went to buy something."
"Come here." He asks.
I gulped, he might smell something on me. Who knows, this guy is a psycho. I shook my head. "Don't want to Alpha King, i already bowed to you now you want to order me around? Psh."
"I said come here."
"I don't want." I cross an arm.
"COME HERE." He growls, making me curse under my breath and grumpily walking towards him.
He pulls my hand towards him and pull in for a hug, he inhales my scent and i felt safe and relaxed being on his arms. I suddenly forgot that i hated him a while ago. My hands reaching his back as i did the same too.
"I missed you so much." I sobbed.
I frowned when he held my shoulders to pull me away, he didn't reply. I felt rejected.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I slapped him hard.
"Get in, don't make trouble and eat your meals." He orders.
I faked laughed. "I hate you."
I hated this feeling. I felt so rejected and lonely. It was consuming me completely.
He suddenly stood a distance away from me before finally getting out of my sight. I was still looking there, where he left. My eyes trying to detect him if he came back. But he didn't.
"Luna." Kiel comes up.
I didn't respond, instead, i shoved them away and headed upstairs, going inside my room and locking it behind me.
I still don't know the reason why he's suddenly cold to me.
