Chapter 80: Chapter 80

The following day, Viona left the pack house ever since the murder occurred. She felt the responsibilities of staying with her pack even though she knew that they weren't pleased with her stay. Damien had been super busy as he had to maintain a tight security around the house. Nothing happened so far but the fear and dangers were lurking from every corner of the house.

She didn't join university any longer instead she took online classes these days. Although everyone gave her a cold shoulder, she stood firm on doing her responsibilities as the pack Luna. But it felt worse at some point especially when Damien was staying away from her. It hurt to think that Damien was holding doubts against her. Her heart was in so much pain that it was making her suffocate sometimes.

Rolling on the bed, Viona tried to keep herself awake, in this thought that Damien would show up to cajole her. Her phone vibrated from the center table, earning her attention. Answering the button, she heard Alaric speaking in a worrisome voice,

" Alaric, what's up?"

Alaric notified happily,

" Viona, aren't you coming to the prompt?"

Viona exhaled rolling on her back to reply,

" No! I don't have moods now. Besides, I have works at home."

Alaric insisted, detecting the sorrow, unhappiness behind her tone,

" Just come, Viona. I bet, you will feel better mentally. Burying yourself inside sorrow wouldn't help you to relief. Everyone is here today. You shouldn't ruin your happiness because of someone else."

His words really encouraged her spirit. She bit onto her lips pondering,

" All right, I am coming but where are you all?"

Alaric sent his location soon into her message. After checking his message, Viona got up to get ready for the prompt. He was absolutely right. She needed some distraction from this stress.

An hour later, Viona came down in her skinny black dress. Her makeup looked decent and she imposed a sexy aura from her body. Ariana saw her in awe and teased doing her daily works in the kitchen,

" It's a pity that my brother isn't here now. Where are you going goddess?"

Viona rolled her eyes at the thought of Damien. He was so cold on her that he wouldn't have bothered to shoot her a single glance even if he was there. She replied clutching her purse tightly,

" I am going to prompt tonight. Tell your dearest brother to not wait for me."

Ariana chuckled before waving her goodbye,

" Umm! I will surely tell him. You badly need a cheer up."

Viona smiled sadly before waving goodbye at her. Tonight, she wasn't going to waste her happiness over someone else.

Half an hour later, the cab pulled in front of a four star club inside the town. Loud music travelled outside as soon as she got off from the cab. She could detect few girls from her university, entering with their boyfriend hand-in hand. Her eyes nervously glanced around to find Alaric but soon, she heard him from the entrance,

" Viona, over here!"

She smiled in relief before joining Alaric at the entrance. Alaric peered down at her outfit and inhaled a deep breath.

Goddess, she was looking hot as fuck!

Viona's voice snapped his sinful thoughts,

" Thanks for pushing me, Alaric. I badly needed this to divert my attention."

Alaric grinned happily and led her inside the disco,

" No issues. You are my friend. Obviously, I want you to feel better."

Viona smiled back gratefully before following his guidance into the crowd.

Damien returned to the pack house with a throbbing headache. It was messy all over his pack house and was draining out his energy. He went straight upstairs inside her room to check on his mate. It was empty. His heart surged in discomfort as he knew that he had been keeping himself away from her.

Where did she go?

Scrutinizing, Damien ran back downstairs to find Ariana inside the chores. His voice laced with irritation,

" Ari, did you see Viona?"

Ariana was waiting for this moment to arrive. She believed that they needed a pushover to end their cold wars. She replied smiling,

" She has gone to her prompt tonight. I think, she will be late."

Damien's eyes flickered in discomfort. She didn't even bother to inform him and went as her own. Biting his bottom lips, he gritted his words out, already intending to head upstairs,

" I..I understand.."

Ariana made a suggestive comment as soon as she saw him getting on the stairs,

" Well, I think that you should go and pick her up later on, brother. She was looking hot today. Who knows what will those boys think of her!"

Damien's jaw clenched hard, thinking about the image of all those boys, staring at her sexy attire. His wolf made a low protestory growl which he ignored completely and strode upstairs with a jealous heart .

Nope! He couldn't go on her prompt tonight! He was an Alpha and couldn't act like a jealous teen!

Ariana laughed from the kitchen, shaking her head in amusement. She knew her brother too well and definitely, he wouldn't just sit back and watch.

This was going to be real fun!

" Slow down, Viona!", Alaric warned for the third time nearly. Sometimes he was even regretting to call her over here. Viona had been drinking consistently ever since she joined the prompt. No lessons or warning were able to stop her from getting drunk.

Although, she was dressed nicely from head to toe, Alaric could feel the sorrow, gripping her soul from time to time. He snorted wanting to snatch her drink but she raised it higher, giggling like a mischievous child.

" Nope, mine!", Viona cracked into a grin, her eyes were already getting blurry. Alaric shook his head in disbelief and spoke finally after softening his tone,

" Are you sad, Viona? Did he treat you bad?"

Alaric could feel his muscles, tightening underneath his t-shirt. He swore that if Damien hurt her somehow, he would kill him undoubtedly. But Viona's response left him wordless. She shook her head declining and muttered, scratching her head like an insane,

" No, I brought this on me. I am so fucking miserable."

Alaric deepened his eyes on her, trying to read through her mind until a voice pulled his attention back to the dancing floor,

" Alaric! The principal's daughter want to dance with you. Come over here!"

Alaric narrowed his eyes at their way and spotted the shy girl, Elisa behind his classmates. Ever since she laid her eyes on him, she kept appearing in front of him intentionally to get his sole attention. Alaric opened his mouth to refuse but Viona's wicked voice came out first,

" Wow, Alaric! You got so many fans already. Just go and get her!"

Alaric knitted his brows speechlessly. This woman...When would she feel him actually?

His thoughts weren't heard by Viona but obviously as a good friend, she wanted to get him paired with someone nice. Elisa was a beautiful girl, shy, elegant but good in studies. She had been crushing over Alaric ever since she met him in her father's office one day.

Alaric refuted taking close attention on Viona's state,

" No, Viona. You are so drunk, already. I can't bear to leave you alone. What if something happens to you?"

Viona scoffing and rolled her eyes,

" What will happen? I am an Alpha and Luna too. Do you think that someone can dare to fight with me here. Just go!"

She spoke before pushing him hard towards the group. Before Alaric could say anything, they dragged him to the dance floor. He yelled his last words before joining Elisa in dance,

" Just stay over there, Viona. Don't go anywhere without me."

Viona mumbled enjoying the tease between her classmates as they dragged them over,

" Yeah.. yeah.."

An unknown amount of time passed, Viona devoured the liquors one after another. Gladly, it was taking her worries away. No pack, no duties,no more accusations!

She smiled at herself sadly. No matter how cautious she was, her fate had never found the peace. Exhaling, she ordered for another drink when two muscline men appeared on her side.

She barely shot them a glance before paying her attention back at her own business. They felt taller than any other normal men around.

" Hello Pretty Lady, alone, huh?", someone commented bringing her attention back at them. She replied with a dark chuckle,

" No, I have my hands, legs with me."

The next man in black hair darkened his face instantly. No wonder, they told him that she was a sass. The two men exchanged meaningful glance before standing by her both sides, trapping her between their arms. Viona frowned at their sudden movement and rubbed her temples to question with a growl,

" What do you want? Why are you two messing with me?"

One of the man rumbled, darkening his eyes at her,

" You hurt our brother."

" So?", Viona raised her eyes challenging and brought the glass between her lips clumsily. She didn't even bother to ask which brother they were referring to exactly. Besides, she had fight with lot of men in the past. It was impossible for her to remember each and single face.

The other man clenched his teeth hard, hissing arrogantly at her badass attitude,

" You..you must pay for your sin."

Viona's wolf immediately stood firm in attention. Glancing at the noisy crowd behind, she spoke pointing at them,

" Here?"

The men were surprised for a moment. She was challenging them openly that hurt their ego. Rumbling over their words, one of them urged, commanding through his gritted teeth,

" Come out with us!"

Meanwhile, Alaric had just gotten off from their hands as they forced Elisa to dance with him. Appearently, they wanted them to date as a couple but hell, he was least interested into the girl. His heart was already getting worried over Viona as he left her drunkard as the middle of crowd.

Getting rid of them, he came out to look over the place where he left Viona. His heart tumbled in worry instantly when he didn't find her there. He let out a curse before running all over the space first.

Outside, the two men dragged her outside forcefully. They didn't stop until humans dissapared from their sight. Viona hissed rubbing onto her hand in pain and warned struggling to stand still,

" Listen, I am already so pissed off. Don't annoy me more."

One of them growled furiously, already fisting his palm tightly,

" You hurt our brother. He was died because of you. It's pay time."

Viona narrowed her eyes dangerously at them, blurting out,

" You are vampires?"

The other man smirked, approaching her slowly,

" No you know!"

Viona cursed gritting her fangs tightly,

" Fuck! Now, you pay the price."

She gave one of them a hard blow unexpectedly. It was so powerful that the man winced in pain before stumbling few steps back. That powerful attack shivered the other man who stood beside him, speechless. With another growl, he barked at the fallen vampire,

" Grab her now. I will finish her off."

The two men joined in hands together to fight against a drunk woman. One of them swiftly transferred behind Viona and grabbed onto her wrists together. The other one quickly pulled out a silver knife with a mischievous grin and aimed straight for her stomach.

Before his hand could lay on her, someone's yelling voice startled them,

" Stop! No!"

Alaric reached just on time when he saw two vampires trying to kill Viona. He recognized them instantly as a vampire and Royal. His eyes blazed like fire at them when he saw Viona fighting to break free from their captive.

One of the man yelled back, glaring at the young man who came to interrupt them midway,

" Get off, brat. Don't mess with our business. She must be punished for laying her hand on our brothers."

Alaric could barely control his rage since Viona was under their attack. Besides, they were carrying silver knife to kill her. If they managed to somehow stab into her body, her wolf would be killed. Alaric let out a growl, power exuded from his tone as he made his command shockingly,

" I, Alaric Valdamirovich as the crown prince of all the vampires command you to back off right now."
