Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Damien came back inside the room to check on Viona's condition. She was asleep with a faint mark of tiredness on her face. Her hair was sprawled across the pillow. The view was something that Damien adored much.

Marcus's words rang inside his subconscious. If Viona was capable of handling a Witch's power, the fact only defined one possible thought. He didn't know his mate fully yet.

Damien swallowed back those uncomfortable feelings inside his lungs. Making his way towards her bedside, he tucked on her body in a comfortable position. Viona groaned between her sleep and rolled on other side.

As she felt Damien's palm on her stomach, she opened her eyes groggily. Finding her mate's disturbed expression, Viona muttered placing her palm onto him softly,

" What's wrong, Alpha? Are.. you.. still worried? Look, I am safely back here."

Damien gave her a soft smile. Squeezing her palm a little, he spoke in a teasing voice,

" I was worried that you will miss me once you are awake, Luna. I came to accompany you."

Viona grinned weakly and tugged herself closer, silently enjoying the warmth of her mate. She mumbled whining like a two years old toddler,

" Hmm! I was missing you obviously. I missed you all day long."

Damien smiled back with a doting tone,

" Me too! Luna, is there something that you like to share with me?"

Viona's body stiffened a little. She could detect now that Damien was having doubts on her actions. The secret couldn't be buried longer but she wasn't mentally prepared to have another breakdown. Besides, she had yet to know that why did she smell two kinds of fragnance when Damien was so close to her.

Shouldn't she suppose to smell only Damien's scent? Then why did she smell another fragnance?

Viona squeezed her eyes shut with a thumping heart. Swallowing down nervously, she muttered awkwardly,

" Alpha...I... I don't know why did they attack on me. I fled away before they could torture me more. But please keep your faith on me. I will definitely tell you once the time is right."

Viona's words relaxed Damien a lot. Letting out an exaggerating sigh, Damien replied softly,

" I will be waiting, Viona. As long as you stay with me, nothing else matters."

This was her mate whom she could trust blindly!

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

The following morning came with a lot of rumours spreading throughout the house of Blood Moon Pack. Once they heard that Viona was taken away by vampires, their fears raised more. After all, the pack was abandoned by Councilmen in another word, they were banned by the entire werewolves relam. Now if the vampires targeted them, there was no way that they could survive in Rainford.

Furthermore, Ashley was pouring venom in their ears occasionally. That morning, Viona chose to speak to the members after discussing with Damien.

Coming down to face the anxious crowd, she spoke attaining their full attention in her Luna voice,

" I apologise for the commotion, everyone! But please rest assured that the vampires aren't targetting our pack. I had bumped against two rogue vampires and had a verbal arguement with them. To vent out their rage, they abducted me and took me in their territory. There is nothing to worry about for you."

Viona spoke in a sincere voice which was hard to detect that she was hiding something. To keep unity, sometimes it is necessary to say lies. Viona only had the good intention of keeping her pack unaffected by the attack.

Everyone breathed in sigh of relief. Just as she expected, they were easily convinced by her words. Damien passed her a warm smile. His confidence on Viona raised a level up after her plan worked. Now he could stay in peace that Viona could take care of his entire pack in his absence. A confident leader is the root of a pack.

Viona stepped out of their pack house lazily. With Damien following her around, she spoke after reconsidering everything once again,

" Damien! I would like to take you in Visit somewhere else."

Damien hesitated taking a look of his wrist watch,

" But Viona.. Your university?"

Viona waved her hand dismissively. Pacing back to the root of exist, she responded in a deep thoughtful voice,

" We have more important things to do, Alpha! "

Damien followed her outside confusingly. Climbing down from the mountain, Viona took their private car and led him inside.

An hour later, Viona had gone too far away from the zone of Rainford. Damien who was clueless about their destination couldn't help but asking little worriedly,

" Love, at least you should say where are we going."

Viona refused to give him any answer. Since werewolves could hear a lot, she didn't wish to take the risk. Viona gave him a smile and assured,

" Trust me, Alpha. I can't speak unless we arrive there. You are going to know who was the reason behind your family's murder."

Damien furrowed hard upon her disclosure. He remembered her last promise when she told him that she knew someone who could help him out in finding the truth. Damien didn't interrogate her any longer and decided to follow her blindly.

She was his mate! Why would he suspect on her?

**********

Viona drove the car away from the local town untill only empty fields were seen around. No houses were built in this area which aroused Damien's curiousity more evidently.

The car parked in front of a hut that located at the road side. Once Damien stepped out of their car, a strong wave of witchcraft hit his nostrils.

He frowned hurriedly coming back and growled at Viona angrily,

" Where the hell have you taken me, Viona?"

Viona pressed her lips together tightly. Passing him a pleading gesture, she spoke softly,

" Not here, Alpha! We should go inside first.

Please! "
