Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Viona's eyes were dialed in astonishment when the black liquid enthusiastically snatched her attention. Her eyes turned vicious in rage and she was on the verge of erupting her anger.
When she saw the man looking behind her back, her brows crooked with an ominous feeling. She turned around and faced the wrinkled-faced man who was standing straight crossing his arms behind.
Viona had difficulties calling him her father. She inquired exhaling a sharp breath,
" Dad, what's all of this? Why did you come to my room? What is this man doing with this injection?"
Mr.Derek didn't bother to answer quickly and silently gestured to the man behind to proceed with his task faster. Viona took another deep breath and blurted out between her gritted teeth,
" I am asking you something, Alpha Rogers. Who gave you the permission to enter my room? "
Mr.Derek scrutinized his brows immediately and gave Viona a sharp glare. He sneered coldly unfolding his arms,
" Is this How you speak to your father?"
Viona let out a bitter chuckle and asked back curling up her lips sarcastically,
" Oh come on, ask yourself whether you deserve to be my father or not. Why are you using your proud tongue, Alpha Rogers?"
Viona had always been sharp-tongued when it came to dealing with her father. The hatred had grown up as a long big tree that couldn't be replaced with love any longer.
Alpha Rogers's face fell into disarray, unhappy about the fact that he was being humiliated in front of a healer by his daughter. He took one step closer and hugged arrogantly,
" Watch your mouth, Viona! Whatever I am doing is for your own good sake! Let him inject you fast. I don't want any unnecessary trouble before your wedding."
Viona narrowed her gaze suspiciously and muttered nervously,
" Injection? What.. what is that?"
Mr.Derek signaled at the man to come closer and he responded indifferently,
" Nothing else! It will just help you to calm down. Be good and listen to your father."
As soon as his words came out, Viona felt her back getting grabbed by a strong force. Startled by his sudden action, she looked behind and found the man holding her hands back forcefully. She immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his words. She shouted angrily,
" Father, how can you do this to me? I can be killed if this goes wrong. Let me go! I will be in control! Please! "
Mr.Derek showed no emotions on his face and glanced behind silently to hint that he should go on. Turning his eyes back on her, he spoke coldly,
" It is better to push towards death rather than watching my whole pack getting destroyed by Alpha Damien."
Viona immediately stopped protesting after hearing his words. Her eyes teared up subconsciously.
Again! His pack was more important to him rather than anyone! Not even her daughter!
Viona flushed away those bizarre emotions forcefully and spoke between her gritted teeth,
" Since you don't care about me, I won't show any damn care for your pack. Let me go unless you wish to fight with your daughter."
Her words angered him more. He immediately ordered without glancing at her face,
" Do it now! "
The man nodded and aimed the injection to push inside her neck. Viona panicked instantly and gathered all of her strength to push off the man behind her back.
Her knees rammed inside his fleshed belly forcefully. The man howled in pain letting go of her gripped arms and curled backwards in pain. Before he could charge forward to hold her back, Viona rolled herself in the air skillfully. The following moment, her slender leg banged down over his head causing him to fall off over the hard floor.
Viona smiled at him coldly. Swaying her hair domineeringly, she finally turned around to face his father who was awestruck after everything. His fury eyes glared at Viona's unsettled expression. Wasting no more time, he stepped closer and gave her a hard slap.
Viona gasped spitting blood from the corner of her lips. Instead of getting enraged, she turned her face sideways and sneered at her father coldly saying,
"Oops! You perhaps forgot that I have Alpha blood in my veins too, Alpha Rogers. Don't ever challenge myself for my patience or else I might forget that we are related by blood."
After giving her final words, Viona stormed outside without looking anywhere and pulled open the locked door furiously. Just as she headed outside lowering her head down, she bumped into a firm chest.
Viona gasped retreating abruptly and looked up at the person annoyingly. Her expression sank as soon as she met his calm eyes. A moment of panic quickly appeared in her expression.
Did he hear everything?
Viona turned nervous and bowed her head a little standing aside,
" Alpha Damien! When.. when did you come?"
Her tone resounded nervously which couldn't be hidden away from a cunning man like Damien. His cold lips pursued together to speak something but then those redstains quickly snatched away his attention. His expression turned grim eventually and his wolf howled inside protectively.
His eyes diverted into the room where the sign of her earlier chaos remained evident. His suspension grew stronger when he managed to notice the broken state of a man. Before his thoughts could run wild, the wise fox Alpha Rogers hurried on his way. Giving him a long respective bow, he flattered Damien with a wide smile,
" Milord, when did you arrive? Look at this child! She is so afraid of injection and caused this chaos. Please ignore her behavior."
Alpha Rogers tried his best to keep his tongue calm but every time he glanced up at Damien's face, he fell nervous subconsciously. Just as Mr.Derek planned to issue more reliable statements, Damien broke into a cold smile that was shivering enough to crumple Mr.Derek's spirit,
" I thought of paying a visit to my mate, Alpha Rogers. I wonder what happened to her during this time that she acted so wild?"
Mr.Derek stifled his icy voice and broke into a cold sweat. Stammering his words, he spoke nervously,
" That..It's.. nothing much but a regular checkup for her health condition..She is absolutely fine.."
Damien stared at him for a while and gave a quirky reply,
" I see! I won't interfere with your family members as long as she asks me to do so but I must assure you one certain point Alpha Rogers, I am not very good-tempered with my attitude."
Mr.Derek was embarrassed but deep down, he caught the hint behind his words. Damien was warning him that he couldn't do anything wrong to his daughter since he was her mate now. Mr.Derek didn't prolong the matter anymore and left her room after grabbing the useless man from the ground.
Viona remained in a daze and watched Damien blankly for a long time. She didn't expect that her stubborn father would be so easy to drive away by Damien. As their eyes met, Viona instinctively shrieked away from him and wanted to run away. But there came his cold order,
" Go inside with me."
Viona hesitated but still followed him in. The room was still in a mess which reminded her of the chaos that she caused earlier. A little embarrassed, she stood away from him and waited for his command. Damien stole a glimpse of the surroundings and ordered briefly,
" First Aid? "
Viona was stunned and managed to point out in the direction of her drawer blankly. Damien didn't ask anything, silently reached for the drawer, and came back with the first aid box very fast. When Viona didn't move from her spot, Damien briskly clasped her hands and pushed her towards the bed.
After settling the awestruck woman on the bed, the poker-faced man crunched down in front of her silently. Pulling out a soft cotton from the box, he adjusted some ointment on it swiftly. Viona sawlloed pretending to be calmed but deep down, her heart racing was fiercer than any running horse. She wasn't very fond of getting along with a man but somehow his presence did relax her subtly. Her mind felt more uneasier when he didn't interrogate her regarding the previous incidents.
Before she could snap out of her dreamy thoughts, something was pressed on the corner of her lips. Letting out a painful whimper, she looked up at the man who was polishing her wound. Flabbergasted, she finally came back to reality and immediately attempted to dodge away saying hurriedly,
" No..I can take care of it..You don't.."
Her words were interrupted when Damien gave him a cold glare. Pressing the cotton more harshly, he spoke with a pissed-off tongue,
" You don't have to run away every time you watch me. I am not going to eat you anyway. Since you are my mate, it is my responsibility to take care of you. Besides, tomorrow is our wedding. I don't want others to gossip on the issue that you have been treated poorly here."
Viona frowned trying to adjust her emotions but the tip of his fingertips were distracting. Every time it brushed against her petal-like lips, her body responded fast like a fire flicker ready to burn anytime. Viona swallowed before responding with hesitation,
" I understand but it's just for a year."
Damien's hand immediately paused midway abruptly. His red eyes shot up to meet her before his husky voice came out slowly,
" I know. I am just expecting that you can become a great Luna for my pack during this time."
Viona blinked understanding the importance of his status and assured calmly,
" Sure, I will give my best as long as I live with your pack and you allow me to break the bond after one year. But we won't share any emotions during this time and you can't force me."
Damien crooked his lips into a playful smile. When Viona was too engrossed in hearing out his response, she forgot to notice that Cotton was replaced by his fingertips long ago. He gave her a short reply while running his tips on her quivered lips,
" Depends! "
Viona furrowed hard immediately and scowled back anxiously,
" Depends on what? "
Damien didn't respond sooner and continued seizing the opportunity of her distraction. His fingertips ran from back to forth feeling the numbness of her lips while wondering about the taste of it in his sinful mind. Before Viona could burst out in anger, Damien added nonchalantly lifting his eyes,
" Depends on whether you will want me on or not! "
Viona protested almost instantly,
" I will never want you."
Damien chuckled a rare smile that hadn't been seen by anyone and said,
" How do you know if you haven't tried before? Have you had any more mate rather than me?"
Viona's expression turned puzzled at his question and stared up at him feebly.
