Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Maive's POV -

So many things immediately came into my mind, as I tried to understand deeply.

My hand was trembling as I looked into the arrow further. It really is the same as the one in that forest. Was it just similar? However, it somehow made sense. How could I think that it was Uncle Silas when he had no arrow and bow at home? Was it Daxton, then? What was he doing there? Was it a coincidence?

Was he really there at the time when the werewolves tried to harm me? Was he the one who saved me?

Several thoughts had filled my mind. My hands were trembling as I searched for his things. I looked in this cabinet, scanning everything there to find something. I don't even know what I was looking for... It's just my gut feeling has gotten over me.

His cabinet was neatly arranged. There was not much to see, just some pieces of paper that I found nothing suspicious. I searched over his things but there was nothing to see. It was all normal.

My heart was racing as I walked out of his room, remembering that Arman is working here. The coincidence is too numerous for it to be really called that. There is something wrong, there is something going on. I need to find out what...

Has Daxton known me all along? Does he have something to do with my past? Who is he?

As soon as I went down the stairs, Daxton's mother was the first person I was able to encounter. She scanned me from head to toe with a worry in her face.

"Are you feeling better?" She asked as she looked at the kissmark that Daxton had left on my right neck.

I bit my lip, getting a little shy and embarrassed about that thing. It was too difficult to cover up so there's nothing much I could do to hide that.

I nodded. "I'm fine, Mrs. Clark..." I said, still a little bit embarrassed. I wonder what she would think of me with that kiss mark her son left.

She smiled, darting her gaze back into my eyes again.

"Good. Where are you heading, then?" She asked.

I cleared my throat, "I am actually looking for Arman."

There was a hint of question in her eyes. I have already told her before that Arman was the one who has helped me survive. It wouldn't be surprising if I came to find him.

I have been thinking of talking to him, but things become more complicated that I forgot to do so. He has the answers to my question. Whether it was purely coincidence or planned, he knows it for sure.

I must talk to him, I needed to just to make my wavering heart feel at ease. There was a part of me thinking that what happened before was a plan... but by whom? Was it Daxton? If it's just coincidence, the calculation of all events was so hard to think that it was coincidence.

"Oh..." She paused. "He is on a vacation."

My jaw dropped. The only man that I could talk to in order for me to relieve my doubt for everything was not here. Who am I going to ask then? Shall I go back to the village to ask Uncle Silas and Aunt Vera?

I'm sure they know something... because when the Werewolves who attacked me before, Uncle Silas was not surprised that those werewolves were killed by an arrow. As if he knew what happened.

But, asking Aunt Vera and Uncle Silas would be dangerous especially for them.

"When is he coming back?" I asked, getting desperate to know the answers. I just hope that I am wrong...

She placed the strands of her hair back into her ears before answering, "I don't know yet."

I nodded and thanked her, feeling down. The hope of me knowing the answers crashed down at that moment.

I went back to his room, thinking of how am I supposed to get answers...

There was nothing much to see in his room. He must have another room or study room where he could entertain his visitors. I must go there, I must find something.

The lunch time had come and he, being true to his words, arrived. He was wearing the same shirt and he looked really tired when he went inside. However, his eyes lit when it met mine.

I was contemplating whether to ask him about the arrow. I really wanted to... or I will end up thinking so much. However, I couldn't. It felt like I didn't have any right to ask him that question. Aside from that, will he tell the truth? I don't know.

"You look tired," I commented as he leaned on the wall and stared at me with his deep black eyes.

"I just ran some errands," he answered. It looked like it was not just a simple errand as I could see some faint blood stain in his shirt.

I only smiled at him.

"I'll just shower," he said.

Soon enough, he was inside the bathroom and I am still there thinking of the arrow he has. I did not realise that I was thinking hard and time had passed. I only realized when he went out of the shower.

I bit my lip, blushing, seeing him half-naked. The white towel was only covering his bottom half. His upper body is all revealed, showing his broad chest and shoulders. He has abs... I am getting irrational again, remembering how much I touched those last night.

When he turned his back to me as he got a shirt in his cabinet, I saw his back was full of scratch. I am certain that I did that last night. I bit my lip once again, getting all red remembering last night.

"What are you thinking, hmm?" He asked when he turned around, now fully dressed.

I shook my head. I would not share these naughty thoughts that I have for him. That would be too embarrassing.

He opened his door, getting some paper bags from the outside. He handed it to me. When I looked at it, it was a shirt and shorts. Without a question, I went to the bathroom and wore it.

As soon as I got out of the bathroom, we went out of his room. According to him, we will have our lunch together. That still feels surreal, I couldn't believe that these are all happening. However, there are still questions in my mind.

I roamed my eyes, trying to find his study room as we went towards their dining room. There were too many rooms, it was too difficult to discern which one. I don't even know what I would be looking for in his study room, but there must be answers there.

He is surely keeping something from me... and I am so curious to find out.

My heart is pounding too fast with this curiosity I had.
