Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Gabriella's POV -

I left Anne and Maive to get some water to make Maive feel refreshed somehow. She was burning in heat and she had consumed all the water in her bottle. I was worried for her, she seemed not to know anything about the heat.

After meeting with the school doctor, we decided not to attend classes and stay with Maive. I knew that at this moment, she needs her friend and despite knowing her true identity, we will stay with her as long as she wants us to.

But thinking about her heat... what would have triggered it?

I am certain that her mate is Daxton. Does she know that? She would, right? There is a pull between a mate, she would have definitely felt that but if she doesn't know anything about werewolf context, she must have not realised who her mate really is. The heat in her body originates from something, she must have shared some intense or passionate moments with her mate for her to be like that.

And about passionate moments... I am sure that she doesn't entertain guys in school or even share precious time with them except for two men, Tobias, her best friend and Daxton. Without her telling us about Daxton, the staring contest between the two and the sparks they share was so intense that I cannot just ignore it. I am sure something passionate happened between them.

The way Daxton, the Alpha King went to save us who are just mere ordinary werewolves was very intriguing and I know that he went there for Maive, he knew that Maive was his mate.

... so with that, Maive is the... destined Queen Luna?

"Gabriella..." I heard a soft voice behind me.

When I looked around, it was Butch that created a tingling sensation in my system just by seeing his handsome and charming face.

I was on my way back to the secluded place where we went to talk with Maive. She would be safe there since no male werewolf would smell her scent in that place.

"Hey," he said when I was not about to respond, I was at awe by his beauty that made me mesmerised.

I smiled at him, trying to make it some casual interaction. In fact, my heart was racing rapidly just at the sight of him. He has been vocal that he loves me and every time I remember it, I could feel my cheeks blushing. Oh, heaven knows his effect on me.

He took steps closer and every time he does that just makes my heart insanely beating. Then, he pulled my waist making me gasped, damn, I was too captured by his beauty and now hypnotised by his scent.

He hugged me and I felt his warmth, making me too comforted as if all the problems I had were washed away.

He caressed my hair and said, "I've missed you."

I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling him and when I opened it, he caught my eyes. I felt that I was in some kind of fairytale.

I don't know if I should like him being so straightforward or not. I just know that he says some things that I do not expect and it is making my heart flutter.

He has been visiting me at our house lately. However, he mentioned that he will be busy catching some traitors. His visits were seldom after that. I am glad that the school opened again and I would get to see him often.

He let go of me. As soon as he did that, I noticed the blood on his hand. I just remembered that he pulled the guy that Daxton was about to kill earlier.

Daxton really knew that Maive is his mate and what would he do with it then? Maive is in heat and he has to deal with that.

"What did you do to that guy?" I asked, getting all curious especially since he said earlier that he will handle him. Even though Butch is kindhearted and charming, he still has this monster side.

"Daxton will decide for that," he said casually.

I nodded, not wanting to hear anything from it anymore. I grabbed the handkerchief in my pocket and went towards him to wipe the blood on his hand.

"Does this not scare you, hmm?" He asked, allowing me to wipe the blood and I could also feel his intense stares at me.

I shook my head. I have seen blood ever since.

"Am I scaring you?" He asked. It sounded like it was the question that he wanted to ask rather than the prior question he asked.

I looked at him. He was weighing my emotions... He was intently looking at me.

I smiled as I shook my head, "I know that you are a good person, regardless of the things that you have done."

He chuckled, probably getting at ease with my answer. "It's really nice to have an intelligent and understanding girlfriend..." He said, smiling widely.

My eyes widened and I immediately placed my index finger right in front of his lips, "Someone might hear you!" I said as a protest. I am probably blushing hearing it from him.

"And what's the problem with that?" He asked, looking really proud of it.

We are dating... Things escalated quickly when he told me he loved me. I couldn't hinder myself from telling him the way I am feeling towards him. So I ended up confessing to him, too...

"I am dying to tell everyone." He said, looking so cute. He looks like a kid wanting some lollipop.

I wish I could be as proud as him. Not that I am ashamed that he is my boyfriend. I am ashamed that I am his girlfriend. I don't want him to get loathed too for dating a lowly species like me. I do not want to stain his name.

"Let's take our time first," I said. I am not ready for it and things are not good for Maive.

He nodded, having no problem with everything I say. How could I not fall with a guy as cute as him? He really is adorable that I want to put him in my pocket.

"Gab," he called as he placed the strands of my hair at the back of my ears.

I raised my right brow, waiting for his next words.

"Please watch her for some time. It's kind of hard for our friend," he murmured genuinely while looking into my eyes.

I nodded, completely understanding him.

He stole a kiss on my cheeks which made my eyes widen. "Someone might see us!" I exclaimed again, afraid to drag his name.

He just brushed it off.

"Shall we date now?" He asked.

I shyly smiled, "Probably later."

He smiled boyishly and nodded.

I love him... and it is scaring the hell out of me.

We parted our ways after that. I headed back at the secluded place where I left Maive together with Anne.

However, to my surprise, Anne is sitting under the tree alone. I looked around, finding where Maive was but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where is she?" I asked, getting worried that she is not with us. Other werewolves might have taken advantage of her, especially during this time. She should not be left alone. It would be dangerous for her since she is undergoing heat.

Anne made a blank face as a response, "She was dragged out by Daxton."

I raised my brows, where is he going to take her? "You don't look bothered." I stated.

She smiled mischievously, "I mean, it's the Alpha King... What else to be worried about?"

I nodded, she's right though. Of all people, Daxton has the responsibility and capability to protect Maive, despite being the Alpha King, he is also Maive's Mate. The only person who could ease the pain and the only person who could take the pain away.

"Besides, Maive seemed to love that man."

I agreed. He is definitely her mate. I just hope that Maive will be fine and be free from any danger.

That's when I remembered that I bumped into Yskela on the way here. She looked pissed and angry. Did she witness Daxton was with Maive? That would be a lot of trouble for Maive. I wonder how Daxton will deal with his fiancee... All I hope is that Maive will not be hurt.
