Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Unlike her old pack house, Viona's sleep awakened by a series of laughter coming from the downhall. She groaned from her sleepy state a little annoyingly and sat up groggily. Darting her brown eyes back and forth, she remembered that she had been shifted with Blood Moon Pack.

Frustrated!

She let out an exhausted sigh before hopping over to select any neat clothes for her. Considering that it was her first day in Blood Moon Pack, she chose a pair of decent clothing which could cover up her figure properly. She frowned a little surprised upon finding that Damien didn't come for a moment in his room.

Shurgging off those ideas, she headed for downstairs where the noises of kids were coming out. Walking slowly through the stairs, Viona desecned down nervously. As her eyes watched the pack members having their breakfast happily, she wandered to join them or not. Just when she dwelled over her decision, two toddlers ran quickly and bumped against her figure accidentally.

Viona gasped surprisingly and watched them giggling playfully.

" Seth,Sana! Watch out! ", a middle aged woman shouted at those toddlers and gave Viona an apologising smile. Viona returned with a smile and consoled,

" It's fine! I am not hurt. Let them play."

Her eyes fell on Ashley and her mother who were having breakfast happily. Ashley only glanced at Viona coldly and didn't seem to show a little bit of respect. Viona ignored them and walked over to the table to fetch a plate of breakfast for her own.

At that moment, a girl walked out of the kitchen holding a tray of cupcakes and gasped upon watching Viona. The girl quickly put down her tray and greeted with respect,

" Luna! I am sorry for being late. Do you need anything?"

Viona glanced at the blonde haired girl blankly. The girl looked like at her late twenties. Her hairs were shortly cut which gave her another vibe of smartness. Viona inquired feeling a little curious about her identity,

" You are?"

" Aria. Shit! I have forgotten to introduce myself. Let me introduce myself formally. I am Aria Marshall, an omega of this pack and Alpha Damien's sister. I was out of town yesterday and couldn't manage to join your wedding.", the girl spoke placing her palms on her hips.

Ashley snorted coldly between her eating,

" Adopted! You are an adopted sister."

Viona frowned at her rudeness slightly. Aria didn't look hurt since she was get used of her nerdy character. Ignoring her mockery, Aria continued asking while dragging the tray of cupcakes on her way,

" What would you like to eat Luna? Just ask me! I will get it ready for you."

Viona smiled at her politeness greatfully and answered back softly,

" It's okay, Aria. I am fine with anything."

Aria smiled and dropped two cupcakes on Viona's plate. Aria glanced around habitually to ensure that everyone had their breakfast properly. Furrowing little surprisingly, Aria asked wandering her eyes around,

" Where's Alpha? He hasn't come down yet."

Viona paused abruptly between her eating and swallowed down her food with difficulties. How could she say that they actually lived apart on the first day of their wedding?

Having second thoughts, Aria turned her eyes on Viona and questioned uncomfortably,

" Luna! "

Viona mumbled while reaching for the juice indifferently,

" He had something to do in the morning. He left the room before I woke up."

Aria didn't feel doubts in her words. As Damien was a workaholic person, she guessed that he might be staying in the study now. Aria went back to the kitchen to fetch breakfast for Damien this time.

Average members started to join the dinning table and some of them greeted Viona 'Good Morning' which she responded with a polite smile.

Coming out from the kitchen with another tray, Aria spoke shooting a meaningful glance at Viona,

" Alpha hasn't eaten yet. Why don't anyone go upstairs to send his breakfast? He must be starving since it's late."

Before Viona could get the hint behind Aria's word, Ashley suddenly jumped up from her seat and started to reach for the tray,

" I am done with my breakfast. Let me send it to Damien."

Ashley commented and already gripped the side of Aria's tray tightly. Aria didn't let go and shot Ashley a cold glare. Snatching back the tray from Ashley's grip, Aria questioned narrowing her eyes,

" Why do you have to bother, Ashley? Since we have our Luna here, she will go to him."

Viona choked on her food and quickly devoured the juice in a gulp. Her eyes shot up at Aria blankly who remained firm at her decision.

Pushing away Ashely's hands, Aria requested putting the tray down in front of Viona,

" Luna, if you don't mind, why don't you go to give him breakfast?"

Viona pondered for a while. Since she promised to Damien that she would become the deservant Lune for his pack, she couldn't let others finding flaw in her acting. Nodding her head slightly, Viona picked up the tray and strode upstairs briskly.

Ashley remained frozen in her spot and shot Aria disdainful glare. Aria smiled at Viona's retreating back and ignored Ashley's scornful eyes.

She couldn't let their Luna getting abused by Ashley like her!

•••••••••••••••

Viona hesitated standing upon the doorway and twitched at the matter that whether she should knock or not. She knocked twice but the absolute silent from other side remained unchanged.

A little worried, she creaked open the door lightly and lucky it was unlocked. Upon stepping on the lavishing red carpet, her nervous eyes stole a closer look of his study room. Again every shelf was neat and clean decorated like a perfect picture from any hollywood movie. A little Chandelier increased the beauty of that little space beautifully.

Viona released a soft sigh. Her hazel eyes finally fell on her smoking hot husband who was sleeping over the red fluffy couch. A red covered book was sprunted upon on his muscline chest clumsily.

Viona opened her lips to call out his name but noticing the exhausted face of him,she backed off. Giving more closer look, Viona noticed an anxious caress between the valley of his temples.

Her pace picked on his way cautiously. Putting down the tray on his wooden desk, she tiptoed and got closer with him.

Indeed he was frowning deeply. His breathing was little sharp as if he was remiscing any haunted memories. A beat of shine sweat appeared on his forehead which made his stunning hot look concerned.

Viona couldn't help but feeling little worried about his dreams. From their mate bond,she could feel the anxiety growing through his veins eventually. Being a little bold, her hands squeakily reached out to touch his crunched forehead gently and hoped that her touch could reduce the fear in his mind.

Just when Viona's fingertips touched his shining skin, Damien flung open his eyes in a shot. His palm instinctively shot up to grasp Viona's wrist harshly. Astounded, Viona winched in pain from his hardness and looked down worryingly.

Damien who happened to dwell in his dream asked hoarsely,

" What are you doing?"

Viona jolted a little upon hearing his deathly voice. She sutured already feeling guilty of her approach,

" I...I...you were sweating..I just thought of.."

Her words were interrupted when she curled in pain. He was still gripping her hand so hardly that she suffered miserably. Damien's whose mind became clear headed after watching her painful expression quickly let go of her wrist.

Panicking eternally, he sat up hastily on the couch and asked with worry,

" I am really sorry, Viona. I just lost my mind. Have I hurt you too much? Do you need medicine?"

Viona looked at him dumbfounded. His worry filled eyes made her restless with different kind of feelings. She forced to ignore her mind and mumbled while rubbing her sore wrist,

" I am fine. What were you dreaming about? You looked so pathetic."

Damien sighed helplessly. His hand reached back to rub his neckline habitually as he mumbled something,

" Ever since I have witnessed my parents death, I am having this nightmares continuously. It..It feels like the murderer is around me but I can't exactly identify. This feeling keeps haunting in my thoughts and dream."

Viona looked at him worryingly. It might have been so hard for him after facing both of his parents dying together at a time.

To divert his thoughts, she initiated the conversation while pointing at his desk,

" Here, I have brought breakfast for you. You haven't gone down. So I had to come up."

Damien paused before asking disbelievingly,

" You..you brought breakfast for me?"

Viona had to bite her tongue hardly.

Did she act too wifey type?

Clearing her throat off, she mumbled looking away from his eyes,

" It's.. It's.. your sister, Aria who asked me to bring them up. Why? Are you unhappy?"

Damien shook his head denying and responded with a little dissapointment edging from his tone,

" No! I would have died in happiness if you told me that you brought them up on your own willingness."

Viona didn't answer him for a while. Tugging her hairs behind nervously, she urged blinking abruptly,

" You should have your breakfast now. I will get going."

She spoke and hauled up to leave. The moment she got up,a sharp pair of cold hand gripped her wrist tightly. Viona halted in her track and glanced down at Damien who was smirking meticulously.

Damien demanded hoarsely,

" Join with me. You will feel bored without anyone known having around downstairs in our dining table."

Viona wished run if possible she wanted to push him away but the plead in his eyes and his magical voice, the combination made her froze unexpectedly in the spot. At the end, she could only give him a brief answer,

" Okay! "

Damien's face beamed in happiness. He quickly let go of her hands and got up to bring the tray in front of the tea table. He personally served her skilfully and poured two glass of juices for them. Viona watched his each act astonishingly as if she was the queen here who was being served.

Passing her a plate, Damien started eating his own breakfast contendedly. Being her around was the best cure for his unsettled mind.

Viona started eating with her cupcakes that Aria gave her early in the morning. While eating, Damien muttered while licking on his own cupcake,

" Oh, I forgot to inform you! We have a pack meeting tonight. You are going to accompany me."

Viona bit on the last portion of her cupcake and whispered affirmatively,

" Okay!"

Damien inteneded to say something more. Glancing up at Viona, he smiled gleefully and spoke picking up a tissue paper,

" You got some cake here."

Without giving any chance to register his words, Damien leant down towards her face. His domineering hand clutched the back of her jawline in an attempt of wiping off her lips.

Viona froze at their proximity. She could see the two inches gap between them. Her wolf started to have goosebumps in anticipation already. She had held breathing down in her stomach. At first, Damien wasn't having other intention rather than cleaning her off.

His chest slightly brushed against her thumping heart which paused his track abruptly. Looking down at her lips that was sandwiched between his grip, his throat started to throb in desire.

He pondered midway and kept staring at her lips. He knew that if he forced on her, she might hate him forever. But his wolf pushed him mentally to steal a bite from them.

His face started to dip down dangerously. Viona looked blank. A part of her wished to push of away but something strange kept her binded at that spot forcibly.

Just when their lips were an inche away from each others, Viona warned weakly,

" Damien..!"

Damien stopped snapping out from his perverted thoughts and stared down at her slightly wrath filled eyes. His body stiffened at an impulsive thought.

Why couldn't he kiss her? She was his wife legally!

But again, when he saw through the unwillingness in her eyes, he backed off and forced his wolf to calm down. A suppressed sigh escaped through his lips and fell on her delicate cheeks.

While later, he pleaded hopefully,

" Viona..can..can I hug you?"

Viona blinked feeling stupified by his sudden change of action and nodded blankly. As soon as he got her approval, he wrapped his arms around tightly against her slender figure. A peace immediately spreaded through his mind with her touch and made him relaxing subconsciously.

Her scent of lavender and spice quickly travelled through his nostrils that made him excited in happiness. He dove his head between the realm of her long hairs and enjoyed her unique fragrance.

Viona stayed numb, unsure about why did she let him touch her. Then Damien's hoarse voice rang beside her ears making her heart fluttering lightly,

" I missed you throughout the night. It feels like I was going crazy slowly having your scent on my body but no being able to touch you or hold you in my embrace. I couldn't sleep till midnight. This sensation is crazier than I thought."

Viona swallowed hard and felt her heart skipping a bit. She didn't feel so much eagerness of having him around but stil her heart actually cared for him. Damien suddenly quired a bit suspiciously,

" Didn't you feel anything like me?"

Viona gulped and decided to answer honestly,

" Not..not so much.."

Damien fell in daze for a moment and then reasoned casually,

" Strange! It must be your willpower of having no mate is far more stronger than anything."

Viona didn't argue on this topic. She still had doubts, questions regarding her own life which was yet to solve. She let him holding as long as he wanted. Since he wasn't doing anything wrong,she could let his wolf feeling contended as much as he wanted.

Few minutes later, Damien finally unlocked their embrace reluctantly and looked through her eyes. Forming into a satisfied smile, he proposed tugging her to get up,

" Let's go to our training land. We should start your training from today onwards."

Viona asked back curiously,

" Training for what?"

Damien quirked into a grin and replied caressing her face lovingly,

" Training for becoming the greatest Luna Queen of Werewolves, my Luna."

Viona stumbled being dragged by him hastily. Her cheeks still remained hot upon hearing his ambiguous addressing 'My Luna.'
