Chapter 42: Chapter 42
|| RECOMMENDED SONG: Drown By Yuppycult ||
Both of them were stunned including Brian who didn't expect to speak with such an authoritative tone. His wolf was very responsive to this unknown girl who just came for a few moments probably.
Clearing his throat awkwardly, he tried to ease up the stiff moment,
" Aah! I meant that you wouldn't be able to find Viona's staffs without my guidance."
Brian reasoned casually and went beside her without her response. Ariana shifted aside awkwardly and maintained a formal distance between them. Brian went through Viona's piled books in an abrupt way and scattered through the things quite abnormally.
Ariana waited in her breathing hitched everytime she watched his back deeply. Her adam apple bobbed up and down uncontrollably as if there was an ich coming out from her throat.
Brian picked some essential books and turned around streching his arms out to pass them over,
" Here are those that she would be needed."
Ariana's soft palms reached behind the book pile clumsily in order to grab them from Brian's grisp. Out of nervousness, she almost lost her balance and the books were about to fall down until a big palm clutched her slippery hand with an alarming voice,
" Careful! "
BANG!
Still all the books dropped down on the floor with a loud thud startling the heavy atmosphere between them. Ariana's mouth hung open in disbelief as her brown eyes looked deep through Brian's gaze which was gradually turning darker. A wolf changed its eye color whenever he found his mate.
Panick rushed through her veins assuming that how bad it was. Instantly the magical word with a powerful tone came out from Brian's mouth,
" MATE! "
Brian's eyes never stopped noticing the tiny changes on Ariana's face. Rather than being happy with an Alpha, she looked utterly scared as if her death had come to an very end. There were numerous ways to identify a mate. Some found them at mate ball whilst others found them accidentally by touching.
Ariana feared and turned around to run out from here but Brian's powerful grip held her from back. Since his wolf had just found his mate, he wouldn't allow her to run away ever. Brian growled at his disobedient wolf,
" What do you think that you are going?"
Ariana almost stopped breathing as she felt his harsh pull onto her arms and the following moment, she was collided against his chest.
The whole world around her turned blank!

Viona was in her room, crying her hell out untill her cheeks turned moisty because of immense teardrops. It wasn't hard to love someone but loving yourself is the greatest challenge that you can ever face. Especially after when you already knew the outcome, it was more painful to move on.
Just after she finished crying, a knock from the door interrupted her messy thoughts. Wiping her tears off hastily, she gave a brief reply,
" Come in ! "
Nervousness flashed across her appearance when she saw Damien walking in with a smile. He was still in good mood after shutting the mouths of those useless members. His brows wiggled at her sight and concern leaped from his voice as he walked over to her,
" What's wrong? You look so pale. Are you okay?"
Though their mate bond wasn't officially mated, he still had the ability of sense an ounch of her emotions. The room carried an aura of her misery. Viona denied quickly and diverted to another topic,
" Nothing happened! I was just wandering what will the pack members think about me! "
Damien didn't seem much convinced by her words and replied sitting beside her,
" They wanted to show your strength and I just did. If any of them have any questions, they are welcome to inquire me."
Who would dare until they want their heads ripped off?
Viona sighed feeling the sudden warmness of being protected by someone. She snapped her head back aside and asked a bit emotionally,
" Does it worth to fight against everyone for me, your contractual Luna?"
Damien's wolf growled inside after the mention of Contractual. He wanted to come out and show her that what he meant to him. But Damien wanted to take things step by step. Looking through her questioning eyes, he grinned before giving a sincere response,
" You are worthy of everything Everything.. including giving up my own life Luna."
A warm glint radiated from Viona's eyes who found it difficult to control her emotions. To hide her tenderness, she avoided his obvious eyes and mumbled nervously,
" You are becoming skilled in hitting girls."
Damien laughed arching his head behind and decided to inform her about their postponed meeting,
" Anyways, we have a meeting with the councilmen tonight in the town. You have to go to."
The word 'Council' horrified Viona. They were the management group of werewolves and had their final say on any decision. Except the very few influential packs, other Alphas couldn't even meet them casually.
She asked from curiousity,
" What should I wear?"
Damien crooked his eyebrows playfully and replied with a dark chuckle,
" I don't mind to see you naked."
Viona blurted shamefully,
" Damien;"
Damien laughed again throwing his head back and genuinely suggested,
" Ummm..They are old fashioned fellows. Wear something that covered most of your body parts."
Viona hesitated before quiring again with nervousness,
" Why did this sudden visit happen? "
Damien replied in a deep voice,
" About the upcoming Blood Moon. We have some ceremonies on that day."
Viona clutched the scattered bedsheet underneath her trembling fists and breathed the word whisperingly,
" Blood Moon! "
