Chapter 49: Chapter 49

|| RECOMMENDED SONG: " Closer " By The Chainsmokers FT. Halsey ||

Viona whipped herself around in a swift motion and something weird shuddered through her mind when she caught the side of his brown twinkling eyes.

Her throat dried building up a different sensation of pulling him closer across her mind. She warned her wolf before stumbling backward and looked up at the standing boy clearly.

He was around six feet tall. With a fair skin and wavy blonde hairs, his look could be defined as prince charming. A lupsided smile was playing on his taunted lips as if he had different meaning behind that smile. A fluffy bag was hanging down from his shoulders. Loose jeans and black t-shirt was giving off a simple town boy vibe.

Viona hesitated before offering a questioning glance,

" Excuse me?"

The boy immediately beamed into a wide smile. Pointing his index finger at her, he made a joking comment oddly,

" Newbie?"

Viona tried to be as polite as possible. She smiled faintly and nodded before twisting her hairs awkwardly.

God! Why was she behaving so odd?

She tried her best to keep her wolf guarded by her words. The boy questioned again tugging his forefingers into his pocket to stare down at her face deeply,

" Which department?"

Viona felt weird about his certain curiousity. Since she was new and was going to spend few years with this humans, she gave him reply with a soft smile,

" Architecture! You?"

Something twinkled in his eyes after her response. He chirped into a goofy smile before appearing overjoyed unnecessarily,

" That's great! Same department! Hmm! We are mates then."

A growl snarled from her inner boast after his words. Her wolf hated the word 'mate' but Viona convinced that it meant fellow which human used casually during their conversation. Viona took the initiative to start a conversation since they were in same class,

" Umm..You are? "

The boy straightened up his collar, eager to introduce himself and gave her a name,

" Alaric Willard Brightson. May I know your name beautiful lady?"

Viona's wolf purred in satisfiction after being called beautiful lady. If it was in the past and some random Alphas would make this comment on her, she would have been so mad. But to her surprise, her wolf was happy.

She avoided the awkwardness and tried to continue a respective conversation,

" I am Viona.. Viona Rogers. It was pleasure to meet you."

Alaric smiled from ear to ear and snucked out a hand of him for shaking,

" Same here Viona! Can we be friends? I just saw you wandering around and thought that I should pay you a visit."

Viona reached out to take his hand but the bell rang giving reminder to the students that it was class time. Alaric urged her to follow him around and both of them quickly headed for their first lesson.

***************

The first lesson passed away harmoniously. Viona liked the silver haired old human who happened to be their class teacher. He gave her a friendly welcome and introduced her with the whole class. She got to know that Alaric was admitted before few months ago approximately. Sitting beside him, she found herself comfortable enough to being around her though her wolf didn't like human presence much. Surprisingly, regarding Alaric, it was different.

The period of last lesson started with another man. After teaching their last lesson, the man clapped his hands together, excited about how to make a cheesy topic and spoke to the crowd,

" So who is joining in this year's basketball team?"

Viona watched as a number of hands lifted up in the air at once. Alaric leant beside her ears to whisper something lowly,

" Do you like Basketball ball?"

Viona held the urge of whining herself at his voice. Her eyes twinkled in excitement as she made an abrupt statement,

" Well..I would love to..But I don't know how to play like a professional."

A tenderness flooded through Alaric's expression. He smiled gleefully and offered after a deep thought,

" I can teach you. I have been practicing Basketball for years. Let's join together. Will you?"

Viona struggled to reach a final conclusion. She just knew Alaric for a day and he was being really nice to her. Before she could make up her mind, Alaric reached for her hand and lifted it up in bonaire.

With a wide smile, he annouced loud enough to reach their teacher's ear,

" Sir, we are joining too."

Viona parted open her lips to deny but watching the teacher writing down her name on the dashboard, she gave up.

It was a mere play after all!

The lessons ended faster than Viona expected. Alaric was a funny man and made her smiling throughout the time that they were together. Coming out from the classroom, Alaric spoke to her with a wide smile,

" So, Miss Viona.. I am going to start your first trial from tomorrow."

Viona shrugged off her shoulders and rolled her eyes at him,

" Alaric..You didn't even let me think about it.. It's unfair.."

Alaric laughed jokingly,

" How is it unfair? Hmm, I can picturize that you are going to be a great basketball player."

Viona shook her head helplessly and replied with humour,

" I don't expect to become anything, Alaric. I just found it fun. Anyways gotcha go! "

Alaric offered promptly,

" How about a ride together?"

Viona's pace halted nervously. How could she that?

She lived somewhere in where humans probably never stepped in. She denied his offer with a smile,

" Thanks for your offer, Alaric. But my family car would be waiting for me anytime soon. See you tomorrow."

Dissapointment could be seen in his eyes. He faked an indifferent smile and waved at her,

" All right, Viona! Safe journey."

Viona strode out of the entrance straight before locating Damien's car parked a few metres away under the shade of mehogony trees.

A source of warmness spreaded through her expression when she found him peering at her with a knowing smile. Viona took large strides to hop into his car and smiled at him warmly.

Damien pouted before leaning down to warn her jokingly,

" You have been a bad girl, Viona. You fled away in the morning."

Viona chuckled making teasing attempts to block his parted lips that were descending down to capture her lips. Damien blocked her throwing hands off posseively and sealed her lips into a deep lingering kiss.

His wolf snarled inside when a strange smell travelled inside his nostrils from her hairs. A smell that made his wolf angering for no reason.

Leaving her lips abruptly, he sniffed inside her hairs like a stuffy dog and made her giggle shyly,

" Stop.. Damien..You.."

She pressed her one palm on his heart side and saw a grimace expression on his face. Narrowing her eyes together, she questioned with worry,

" Damien..You...are you okay?"

Damien's wolf growled inside to take control and sniffed their mate untill he was assured that no harm came upon him. Damien managed to control his over excited wolf somehow under her concerned eyes.

Taking a sharp breath, he questioned straightforwardly,

" Whom did you meet today, Viona?"

Viona wiggled her brows together and replied shrugging her shoulders off,

" No one absolutely! Just some human friends."

Damien didn't want to follow his instincts. His wolf reacted fast sometimes unnecessarily. He didn't wish to make her upset by asking unreasonable questions. Besides she was one Dominant Bride of him.

How could she make him worry?

He dismissed such omnious thoughts and stepped on her stirring wheels. Just no one noticed that a pair of brown eyes watched their car leaving from distance until they dissapared behind the bright sunlights of road.
