Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Viona looked up at him awkwardly. She was really shy to admit that being an Alpha blood, she still feared ghosts who could actually disappear into the darkeness. Viona's troubled face brought joy in his teasing. His lips arched up beautifully into a teasing smile as he commented closing the little distance between their bodies,
" What a mess! I happen to figure out that my dominant Alpha Bride is actually scared of ghosts."
Viona nudged out her bottom lips hardly. Her eyes didn't falter from his mischievous grin that made her embarrassed and angered at the same time. She snorted and attempted to push him away,
" I am.. not.. afraid..I just don't like those kind of ghosts..They might look scary.."
Damien's body stiffled subconsciously.Her palm rested on his heart side without being notified by her during their heated agreement. He could tell that his wife was still burning like a little fire flicker. Damien replied in his husky voice,
" Even more than you? Have you seen your little face when you attacked those wolves?"
There..again that discussion...!
Viona pulled her palm down and scoffed arrogantly,
" I don't want to discuss about those Alphas or your enemies again, Damien. I have understood my position in this pack and I will definitely obey it in this year. Please let it go."
Damien pursued his lips together to say that he was actually concerned about her safety. But upon noticing her reluctantance, he gave up the idea. A soft sigh slipped through his lips. He got closer, looked through her eyes and questioned like whisper,
" Is it because you feel worried about me or the pack, Viona?"
The question brought a long weeping silence between them. Even in her heart, she was confused about which was the truth in reality. She definitely didn't want to care about him but when she saw those rogues attacking, she couldn't just sit back. Even she wasn't afraid of letting others know that what had inside her veins hidden from this outer world.
She swallowed a mouthful saliva and replied abruptly,
" The pack! I..I..I still have some responsibilities as Luna."
Damien's eyes flashed with dissapointment. Perhaps he would never be able to get used the fact that his luna actually didn't want her. His lips pulled up into a bitter smile and replied with humour,
" I understand! "
He inteneded to leave to hide his emotions but suddenly her needy voice came from back with hesitation,
" Da.. Damien.."
His track halted and head snapped behind to find Viona who was battling to say something. After a moment of silence, Viona finally picked up the courage to say nervously,
" Can..Can..I request you something?"
Damien agreed without second thoughts,
" Yes! "
Viona tugged her hairs further behind hesitantly and muttered softly,
" Can.. Can..I..I join university from here? My father didn't let me complete my education. I really wish to complete my graduation like other girls."
Viona requested and didn't dare to meet her eyes. Few moments passed but Damien still didn't give her any reply. Thus she started to take it as 'No' answer from him. Suddenly the man's cheeky voice came out,
" It depends on how you Impress me."
Viona looked up astounding and saw his knowing smirk. With a bit of nervousness, she quired flattering her long eyelashes unknowingly,
" What... what do I have to do to Impress you? Then will you really let me join the university?"
Damien grinned, tugged his fists into his pockets leisurely and asked raising up his eyebrows,
" I am an Alpha, Viona. Obviously, I prefer business over everything. I won't go back with my words if you can Impress me with your actions."
Viona frowned harder and almost barked confusingly,
" What action?"
Damien sighed still smiling widely,
" I can let you go only after you are done with your pack responsibilities. Furthermore you have cook for me whenever I want and you must appear in front of me whenever I wish."
Viona was speechless. Crossing her arms on her chest, she asked raising her eyebrows annoymously,
" Don't you think that you are becoming too demanded? How on earth I will appear in front of you whenever you want? What if I have other things to do?"
Damien's face sank immediately. He grunted before intending to leave,
" Then forget about it. You can choose to read while staying in here."
Viona panicked and charged forward to hold his hand. A wicked smile played on his lips before turning around and met her helpless eyes. Viona agreed too fast while gritting her teeth together,
" I..I will do whatever you say.."
Damien commented turning his back around and ordered briefly,
" That's like a good girl. Now follow me around, Viona. You must be trained well."
Viona couldn't help but stomping her feet hard. Damn it! If she wasn't so desperate to complete her studies, she wouldn't have begged to this man. He was full of tricks all time.

" What do I do except sitting here and watching you, Mr.Damien?", Viona asked while sitting on the couch opposite of Damien's desk. She had been ordered to sit here by Damien.
Damien flipped through the pages attentively and replied absentmindedly,
" What do you want to do? Isn't it comforting to just sit here and look over at your handsome husband's face?"
Viona formed into a wide smile and asked between her gritted teeth,
" Has anyone ever told you that you are a narcissistic Alpha King?"
Damien replied indifferently,
" Nope, you say. At least I would take it as a compliment from my wife."
Viona barked crossing her legs furiously,
" Damien...!! "
The man replied calmly again,
" Yes! "
Viona spitted out of boredom,
" I am bored. What should I do?"
Damien finally closed the file in his hand and looked at her puffed cheeks. Feeling contended to have her smelling around for a long time around him, he ordered with a smile,
" How about you make a coffee for both of us?"
Viona's eyes sparkled in relief. At least she got something to do now. She snapped her fingers excitedly and rushed outside after answering him,
" I am going to get the coffees for us."
Damien shook his head helplessly behind her retreating back. She was probably the first woman so far who didn't want to stay around him.
Viona strode downstairs slowly. It was already late at night thus the members all had gone to sleep in their respective rooms. Having no one around, Viona felt more easier to move around. She stalked inside the kitchen and started to boil water. Noticing at the shelf where the coffee jar supposed to be in, she saw nothing. Thinking of Ariana's room, she headed outside to fetch the jar from her.
The moment, she walked out of the room, a shadow slipped past inside the kitchen without being notified by her who had already walked further away from the kitchen.
