Chapter 78
1575words
I don't know how long I was actually lying on the bed, since the moment I stepped into the room that Stone pack gave, I took no hesitation to jump into it. Thoughts and scenarios flashing in through mind.
How many days has it been since I last saw him?
Why can't I feel his presence anymore?
i know i've got no right to actually say all of this since i've been pushing him away all this time, but i just couldn't help but expect him to come back to me.
it's insane, i know.
i inhaled deeply, feeling the pang of depression i've been feeling since he marked me on my neck. It made me become more sensitive even just thinking about him. being away from him is really killing me.
A tear falls down my cheek.
"What the hell am i even thinking." i laughed feeling bitter, wiping away the tear.
i sat up, feeling light headed since i suddenly got up, the blood rushing to my head, i shook it off. i headed straight to the bathroom and stared at the mirror.
"What the fuck?" i exclaimed when i my eyes landed on my bare neck, my hands trying to confirm its disgusting color.
The bite looked worse, it was in a reddish violet color making me cringe, i didn't notice it until now. A mark by your mate should immediately heal and not even a scar can remain but what the hell am i seeing now?
Gina what the hell is happening to my neck? it's spreading!
Christal, it's because of the Great White Witch spell.
What? WHEN?!
Remember? before we left the Heavens, the Great White Witch herself purified you? She also planted a spirit barrier on your body that's why the mark that our mate give us is being exterminated by the spell, She explains.
So.. you're saying i'm not marked? then how about the connection that i was feeling between us?!
Sadly we're not marked and the thing that you are experiencing right now is because of your natural expectation of being marked, that's why your body reacted similar to being marked.
i couldn't believe it.
I'm.. not marked?
i looked to the mirror once again to see my bite worsening on my neck, feeling the bearable pain that came along with it. The bite was so strong that not even the Great White Witch spell can terminate it so easily. i sighed and turned away from the mirror, thinking that i'll just cover it with concealer.
i still couldn't believe the fact that it only showed after i stepped into this place, thankfully Herus didn't see it.
to my surprise, i saw Herus leaning on a wall inside my room.
i stared at him blankly. "The hell you doing here?!" my eyes widened, my hands quickly going to my neck naturally.
"It's been 7 hours."
i blinked. "What."
"You've been here for seven hours, not that i actually am praising you that you didn't run off somewhere but it's still such a surprise that you're locking yourself even at my own place."
my eyes widened. "This is your room?!"
"Yep, you must've been pretty cozy-" he stops midway, finally noticing that i was holding onto my neck for too long.
"Get out." i blurted out. "I-I'm gonna change!" i tried to push him out of the room but suddenly got overpowered by him when he gripped my wrist and his other hand on my chin, surveying the infected flesh that was on my neck.
"What the fuck is that?"
i pushed him away, suddenly feeling protective of the bite that my mate gave me. "Don't touch me!"
"HE BIT YOU?! Fuck! when?!"
"it's not your goddamn business!"
"WHEN!" he forcefully pushed me into the wall, gripping both of my hands above together. i saw his eyes grow darker. "DID HE BITE YOU BEFORE I GOT THERE EARLIER!?"
i closed my eyes in frustration. "shut up."
he growls furiously.
i growled back, kneeing him on the stomach and pushing him away from me. i touched my neck "stop talking like you actually give a crap about me."
it's true, i know he's only being protective because of my brother, and because of his own selfish ambition to destroy my mate and RedBloodMoon. "you should've pushed him away like you did now, why did you let him mark you?" he laughs, a hint of anger behind it. his hand going in his forehead in frustration.
he didn't really marked me, but i won't tell him that.
i smirked. "Why would i push my mate away from marking me? am i insane?"
In seconds, as i was just opening my eyes, i couldn't close it again when he suddenly punched the poor wall that i was leaning at, inches away from my head. His rage evidently seen as he rose his head towards me.
i'm not gonna lie, i couldn't move.
this was the first time i saw him this angry, i don't know why i suddenly felt the need to joke at times like this but it was all i can think of saving my self from being a cornered mouse. i faked smiled, trying my best to show my teeth. "I-I was just kidding! i hate that guy, he forced hit bite on me."
his eyebrows furrowed.
my teeth still showing, WELL PLAY ALONG WITH IT BASTARD.
"Have you finally gone insane?" He said, releasing his hand away from the hole in the wall. i was finally able to breathe at ease. "You shouldn't provoke me like that kid."
i know.
i really need to change my attitude.
"Yeah right, you shouldn't also put hole in walls whenever you feel like it."
he shakes his head in disbelief. "and here i thought that you are actually betraying your brother for that bastard."
A sweat rolled down at the side of my face. "O-Of course not." i replied.
he stared at me suspiciously.
"What?" i asked annoyed at his look.
"You should get that treated." he said, suddenly touching my neck without permission, i backed away immediately.
"HEY! FUCK OFF i said no touching!" i threatened him.
he smirks.
The moment i saw that expression made me curse in whisper, realizing that saying NO, actually means in his dictionary as YES PLEASE.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" i said, sending his nasty looks. He sighs meaning that he actually won't do it again anymore. I backed away from him and sat on the corner of my bed.
"What are you here for?"
"Your brother wants to talk to you."
"What does he want?" I scoffed. "Probably another task about redbloodmoon."
He strides closer to me. "I think you'll be leading in the front lines."
My head quickly rose at his direction. "What?!"
"You heard me, there was a meeting held earlier and we discussed the final attack-"
"Wait! Why me?! Why can't it be you? Or my brother."
He laughs. "Well we're just aiding you, but this isn't our war. BlueMoon will be the one leading it, he said you and him will be leading the front lines."
"Has he gone insane?!" I rose up, my anger rushing to my system.
"What wrong?" He's face black.
"Are you really asking me that right now?"
I don't have time to fight! My days are counted. I need to sort things out before i leave.
"Is it because of him? Don't worry he won't hurt you."
My eyes turned red, quickly feeling the power surge from my body, feeling the anger Gina was feeling too. I couldn't say this out loud, he won't hurt me and that can be his demise.
My brother was clearly using me as a shield. That bastard really planned this all out.
He laughs seeing my reaction. "You really do care for him alot huh?"
"When? When are we attacking."
He looks at me for a while before answering. His next words terrified me.
"tonight."
My eyes widened. "What?"
"Your brother must've thought this well, he took no chance for you to escape at all- oh look at the time." He raises his wrist to look at his watch. "Get ready for the royal ball in three hours."
What the fuck?
He leaves with a smirk plastered onto his face, before three werewolves entering the room with a dress and make up bag. This is seriously insane, i couldn't even act properly.
AUTHOR's POV - THE ROYAL BALL
The night has finally come, the color of the skies as dark as the interior planted all over the room, crafts and paintings were placed to receive awe and satisfaction from the guests. The door opens, the sound of clatter and shoes echoed on the entrance, their anticipation screaming excitement from the annual party that was being held in RedBloodMoon.
"Another vampirish event thrown by the redbloodmoon?" One of the guests spat as he entered the room with his companion.
"It's been held since the first generation of purebloods don't be such a hater." The young lady laughs at him.
"No actually this event was long caused by Alphaking Yasha and his mate a demiGod." He blabbered.
"You do know That's a myth right?" She laughs at him.
"I'm not joking here mate." He says, standing on his sentence with pride. "The demi god was the one who requested to hold an annual celebration for werewolves like this."
