Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Maive's POV

On the way, the tension between us seemed to be getting hotter. Despite the confusion overwhelming me, the memories last night kept popping in my head. Yet I remained silent, very embarrassed to face him.

I was quite surprised that his parents were not in the dining room when we arrived. They had probably finished their lunch. The table was only set for two which made me blush, we will actually be alone taking lunch together.

He prepared a seat, gesturing me to sit there and I obeyed, still unable to process how sweet Daxton is. He was always cold to me, that's why I am not used to his sweet attitude. However, it is making me fall for him deeper than I think I have already been.

When lunch started, he might have sensed something wrong as I was silent the entire time, even with his sweetness, my mind still kept on thinking about the arrow in his room. He was quiet too, probably thinking what I was thinking. I could feel that he was trying to be careful around me, weighing my reactions.

I wanted to break the silence but it seemed too hard, still I gathered all of my guts. "When am I going back home?" I asked, trying to kill the silence between us.

He stopped halfway chewing the food in his mouth. He stared at me, looking surprised that I asked about it. It was only brief, the moment of surprise in his eyes but I caught it. He became a bit intimidating after that as he clenched his jaw. It seemed as if he did not like my question.

"Once I settled some things..." He said, turning his gaze back to the plate in front of him.

I kept on observing his behaviour but he did not take a look at me after that as he focused himself on his plate. He did not finish his food, though.

I probably had said those words wrong because he really looks so frustrated.

I did not bother to talk after then. It was only just the silence that enveloped us. The lunch did not take that long though. As soon as we finished, we immediately stood up from our seats.

"Do you want to go anywhere?" He asked, still a bit distant.

I shook my head. My body is still sore and all I want to do is lay in bed. Aside from that, my mind is wandering. I have no thoughts of going anywhere but his study room or office.

He stared at me for a few minutes. He was intensely looking at me, as if I made him really angry. He looked frustrated at something... I probably ruined his mood with that question.

I sighed, even though he looks intimidating, I could see a deadly handsome man in him. Damn, I'm too smitten by this man beside me.

He walked with me up to the front of his door. Then he stopped when we were in front of the room but it seemed that he had no intention of staying inside. He must probably have more things to finish and I understand it because I am aware that he is the King of this land.

"I'll be in my office. Call me when you need anything," he said in a cold voice and I could feel the chills at the back of my neck.

I nodded, looking deeply at his dark eyes.

I watched him walk away after that, with his every step as he went towards his office. He turned in the left corner, so I ended up not knowing where his room is actually located... but at least, I have an idea. And that would suffice.

I sighed and entered his bedroom, thinking about when I will go to his office room and search for his things. I really have no idea what is going on in my mind, but that arrow really hit something in me. I have a bad gut feeling about that.

'Just ask him' The voice in my mind got nosy again.

'I doubt he will answer me,' I answered.

'You fool. Have you not seen how affectionate he was for you?'

I massaged my temple, getting a little distracted as the memories of him feeding me up this morning entered my thoughts. I couldn't deny that he is affectionate, because he really is. I had never expected him to do such things... it was all surprising for me.

However, I just couldn't rely on coincidences anymore. If the arrow he has is the same one as those who shot those werewolves, that is not a coincidence. Our village was too far from here and if he was there, it was nothing coincidental. I have to know...

I lay on his bed as I played with the marble-like light coming out of my palm. I realise now that I am half-witch half-wolf. I am starting to think that I really am a werewolf because of that heat coming out of my body. According to my friends, it is only possible for wolves to do so... damn.

However, why can't I change into my wolf form?

'Because you kept on ignoring me,' it was the voice in my head. This voice again, I really can't imagine that I kept on talking to myself.

'You're just me. I'm just turning insane because of everything that has happened in my life,' I answered, mocking my own thoughts.

'You are sometimes smart... oftentimes dumb. I am your wolf, fool.'

That made me stand up from lying on the bed.

"What the fuck?"

Daxton's POV

She wants to go home already. When I am here still craving for her, she already wants to leave me. That woman, she's really making my heart ache more than how stressed I am today. I wanted to cuddle with her and spend the whole day by her side, but she was thinking of going home? How cruel is she?

I was trying to express my feelings. It was difficult for me, knowing that I have grown up with a lot of burdens and responsibilities. I had a problem expressing my feelings, but I am trying for her. Is she not seeing that for her to think of leaving me?

She is scaring me... losing her does.

"How was it?" I asked Butch.

He handed me an envelope. "We have gathered some footage of suspicious beings."

I stared at the envelope before grabbing it to look for the information he gathered.

Butch was right. The moment I saw the man in the picture, I knew that he was not one of us. He could be a vampire...

"You have to see this," he said before handing him another picture.

I almost crumpled the picture when I saw that it was my cousin, talking with that suspicious man.

"Damn it!" I couldn't hold my anger.

I have this hunch that it might be him, however, I can't just point someone without evidence even though I'm the Alpha King.

I have known him... he was greedy for a position. He always dreamt of bigger things. However, must he really do this just for me to go down? Must he really endanger his own species? Now, I really think he could do everything just to bring me down.

"What are we going to do?" Butch asked.

I clenched my fist, wanting to give him what he deserved. Blood will not be enough for him to fuck us up like this.

"Keep an eye on Rael. We have to figure out if he has allies."

It is fucking irritating to get betrayed by your own family.
