Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Anne's POV -

"Where do you think she went?" Gabriella asked worriedly.

"We should find her." I suggested and she nodded.

After half an hour, Maive isn't back yet. Gabriella and I started to get worried about her, we don't know what was happening to her but it seemed not good especially when she saw Daxton with Yskela. I noticed that she has feelings towards Daxton. Well, it was obvious but not surprising since most girls on this campus liked him. Who would? He is Daxton Astrid, the strongest werewolf in the entire race, the Alpha King.

Maive does not look fine when she excused herself and she looks pale earlier.

We should have gone with her but she refused and here we are now, worried about her whereabouts. I cannot trust this place full of different creatures we do not know, I also cannot enjoy tonight with this feeling that is telling me something is wrong.

The atmosphere isn't good and my instinct never fails me, that's why I was aware and vigilant of my surroundings ever since I stepped foot in this event. I could also feel Alpha Cyrus keep on glancing at me but I ignored it, I knew that he was being vigilant as well. The thought of him makes me blush, he really cares for me.

Damn, I have to focus on finding Maive. Where did she go?

Gabriella and I searched for her and the last time she said was going to the comfort room so we headed there. I'm afraid that she had collapsed or something worse. The moment we reached the comfort room, I was suddenly scared and nervous at the same time when there were no signs of Maive.

"Maive?" Gabriella called while opening each of the cubicles but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn, what if something happened to her?" She asked and I could see the concern in her eyes.

"Maive is a strong woman, she's surely fine. Let's go find her somewhere, she must have gone for some fresh air." I stated, trying to comfort Gabriella.

She nodded and smiled, "Probably, let's go."

When we were about to get out of the comfort room, we are surprised to see Alpha Butch Fender leaning on the wall outside the ladies room.

Alpha Butch Fender? What is he doing here outside the ladies room? But I saw Gabriella stunned on her spot as she looked at him. I am aware that she likes Butch Fender and she's a big fan of him however it seemed like they know each other well when Butch Fender stood straight the moment he saw my friend.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly as he took steps closer to Gabriella.

I didn't answer because he was particularly asking Gabriella with his face looking so concerned. I was confused for a moment, what is happening between these two?

It was not long when I realized something, I could even see the sparks in between them despite that it couldn't be seen by a naked eye. I am not blind to see that they are mates, oh damn, I'm so happy for my friend that she has found her true love and it was the one she admired the most.

I could see the tension building between them. The reason why I had to excuse myself. "Let's separate ways, Gab. I'll go there," I said as I pointed to the exit of the hall.

Gabriella nodded but she still seemed dazed. Alpha Butch is with her so I am sure that she will be okay, I just have to find Maive and so I rushed to leave the two to give them space together. So that is why two days ago, I saw Butch giving Gabriella some medicine for her wounds, he was so concerned for my friend because they are mates.

Suddenly, Alpha Cyrus popped in my head... despite how much he hates me, he couldn't escape the truth that... I am his mate. He was still guarding me outside the house at night, I sighed. Despite it, we are living in a different world, he owns one of the strongest packs while I live in the weakest pack.

When I reached the exit, I started looking for Maive outside. I'm glad that the moon is fully bright that gives light in the dark, I'm used to darkness with the moon guiding me in every mission I took at the pack without anyone noticing.

My attention was caught when I heard some small noises which made me rush at the dark corner of the building. The good thing was that my dress was split in half until my mid thigh, which made me move easily. However, to my surprise, there was a guy smoking in the dark.

No, it was not some guy because my nose caught his scent. I am sure that it was Cyrus, even with his back facing me. My heart started beating so fast and I bit my lip as I tried to walk out of the area silently... However, his senses were too sharp.

"Leidea." He coldly called and it was like my heart almost jumped out, hearing my family name coming out from his lips.

That made me face him. He puffed his cigarette once more before tossing it down and stepped on it.

What am I supposed to say? My gosh, I'm not good at this, being alone with him under the moon. I'm only used to watching him from a distance, not face to face. My heart is screaming for him, the thought of holding him tonight is dominating me. I even forgot why I am here because my thoughts were filled with only him... my mate.

Damn, I was completely hypnotized by his alluring scent including his deadly handsome look tonight.

"H-hi?" I awkwardly said, unable to find the right words to say.

Oh fuck, Anne. What a stupid woman. Who says hi like that? Stupid mouth.

He stared at me with those ruthless eyes. I can't help but shiver from his stare, especially knowing that he was trying to look at me deeply with those stares that go directly to my soul. My heart was so loud and I am afraid that he could hear it.

"You shouldn't be here," he said as if he was giving me a warning.

Damn those lips, how could those lips be so beautiful and tempting? His hair was three to four inches longer and messy with some of it falling down to his eyes, but it just made him ruthlessly handsome. His skin is pale white but his lips were reddish pink, he is like an angel fallen from above. A very dangerous angel.

I know that I shouldn't be here alone with this man, I am afraid that I might do something to him.

I scratched my neck awkwardly, "I-I should be going then."

Probably in broad daylight, I would make some move to get his attention because it seemed like he had no plan on making the first move, it would be strange though for a nerd like me to do that. Damn, what the heck am I thinking? I shook my head, I'm aware of my standing point and I couldn't step out of my boundary.

I sighed, this darkness is really scaring me, especially that he looks a lot more appealing and handsome with the moonlight embracing him. His suit perfectly suits him. I am afraid that the strength of my wolf would dominate me and just suddenly attack him.

I turned around and started to walk back to the hall, however, to my surprise, I felt a grip on my wrist that caused the tingles to flow around my body. When I looked around, I saw Cyrus looking at me intensely.

"I'm curious about something," his voice was deep. "Who is Atlas?"

Oh shit.
