章節 2: Chapter 2: She Holds my Heart Hostage after All
----Gayara POV----
[ Owwie! My dick hurts between my pants. I got carried away unknowingly just because she took the initiative to kiss me.] Venus may not know it but I have been with her since she was 13 years old. Knowing she was in heat, I got affected by her and I need to hurry home before I do anything untoward to anyone. I opened the window to the front seat. "Vincent, drive me to my villa before heading to the military camp ASAP."
"Obey, General!" Vincent peeked at me using the central mirror and I caught him staring at me with a teasing grin.
I glared at him, "if I hear your mouth running around talking about me or my fiancee, I'll castrate you useless!"
---15 minutes later---
I'm in my shower trying to cool myself from excitement. I can still hear her moans and I can still feel her warmth on my body. It's so hard trying to calm myself let alone relieve myself since I don't feel anything even when I touch myself. if I try to watch porn, I only feel disgusted. And if I imagine her, the excitement won't calm me down, it only gets worse.
As such, I made it a point to soak on a bathtub full of ice or just injure myself, using pain to distract all thoughts of her. As I lay in a bubbly cold, bath, I fell asleep. The exhaustion took over me to a distant memory, hidden from the rest of the world.
---6 years ago---
As a cadet, today is the day that I graduate. To be honest, I prioritized personal training on all the Armed Forces of Eldram country from land, air and water; intelligence, engineering and piloting for 4 years. After that, I became the Shadow Executioner for 2 years wherein I assassinated the targets forwarded to me by the President of Eldram country. Later on, I got tired of politics so I decided to go public by participating in the military training for a year at Fort Howling Camp.
The sun was up high in the sky like a king wearing his crown as the army band let their drums roll and their whistles scream. The graduating cadets wore semi- formal uniforms, marching in formation. It was my father who came to attend for me. He was the one who took pictures of my achievements as they were flashed as videos on a big screen, each soldier crossing the stage one by one. "I ran out of memory, Gayara, you're too competitive! I see you don't relent or show mercy," father almost sounded sympathetic to my fellow cadets.
I was beginning to get bored and irritated from the long list of chaplain's invocation, commander's speeches, recitation of the soldier's creed, songs, awards for honor students and the national anthem. I even watched as my father pocketed a program sheet, he patted it with care as I looked at him questioningly. He said, "it's for my keepsake."
"Whatever, I just want my one day off-post pass. I really need a damn rest after all these formalities," I complained to him but then, he's gone again. Probably called by his secretary, a thirty years old beta who seems to do most of the work than my lazy father.
+Eldram Capital+
It was 4: 30 pm in the afternoon as I was walking along the alleyways, eating 12 skewered chicken intestines and 5 Skewered cheese dogs with marshmallow toppings. I was hoping maybe I can witness something interesting because I always relished the adrenaline rush of doing dangerous things like in my previous life. Before I knew it, I was eagerly searching for excitement as though playing hide and seek all by my lonesome.
[I'm crazy, just because most anime and drama series portray the alley as some kind of riffraff rendezvous point doesn't mean I'll just magically come upon a little red riding hood, right?]
"But roleplaying is kind of fun, why don't I invite Shal for a walk around town?" I excitedly looked for Shal's telepathy line among dozens of colorful threads of light while I concentrated in my mind. I said, "Shal, are you there?"
The threads were still floating but one yellow thread vibrated before a voice could be heard through the link, "young miss, what can I do for you?"
I rejoiced at the immediate response that I got before pondering over what Shal should bring with her. [ Hey, I got an idea! ] "Can you bring me two masks, Shall? They're being sold 15 meters to your right."
Shall was silent, maybe wondering how I found out that she was stalking me with a camera on her hand. I looked at the darkening sky and reached out my hand as though in vain, "it's alright, I'm not angry. I knew mother told you to do it, right?" I sat on a bleacher, holding my head between my palms. " It's just that I'm so bored, I don't know what to do with all these excess energy that I think I might go crazy!"
Everytime I see a human, they always end up dead in my imaginations but never failing to paint my mind with blood: iron almost permeating my nose at every turn even though they're non existent. None of which is brutal and bloody ever happened in reality but it is what I see, imaginations ruling over what is real. That's right, I have these impulses I'm afraid of when I get too bored: even I am afraid of myself sometimes. I looked over myself in mirror one day, trying to have a staring contest with my reflection when I got too entranced and stared too deep into my own eyes to only end up scaring myself in the end.
[ Maybe that's also why I signed myself up on a job that I knew could address my urges.]
Later that evening, Shal and I were walking along the alleyways wearing wolf masks on our way back home when I heard something that pleased my ears.
" Let go of me!" a young girl of 4'5' yelled at the top of her lungs while clinging on a heavy trash bin. The young girl had red eyes and black hair. She was wearing a highschool uniform and a red doll shoes, probably the only remaining pair during her struggle.
[ Finally, some form of entertainment.]
I launched myself, delivering a kick to his neck: a small blade protruding from my military shoe and slashing the man's carotid artery . He let the girl go as he began to look at me wide eyed, throat gurgling from his effort to say a word to me, "gurgle..gurg.y.o.u gurgle!!"
The blade went back to its place as I stood before the shocked girl who hugged herself, shivering from fright and the cold night.
" Say, what's your name girl?" I inquired in amusement as I can still sense a few figures darting around in hiding. [ probably hostile ] I guessed.
She stared at me, a gleam of distrust in her eyes before shrinking to herself again.
*sigh* " Don't worry kid, I won't hurt you! Can't you see? I am the Black Wolf who will come to your rescue when you need me!" I said, puffing my chest in an attempt to lower her guard. [ Now that I look at her, she does seem familiar to me. Wait...]
I was in my military get up so I wore a military undershirt, a tactical pant with a good amount of pockets, a well-armed military boots and a necklace with my name on it. I quickly searched for a picture in my pocket.
" It's you!" I can't believe my luck. To think I bumped into my fiancee of all people.
I was lost in thought, I didn't notice the kid to have fallen asleep where she had curled herself into hiding. [ So stubborn ]
I cooped her up in my arms, blowing strands of hair from her face. [ She's so cute ]
I would have been smiling if it were not for the fact that I realized how there are so many people who wanted to harm her. How dare they! She's nothing but a kid even if she was some child of a big shot. I hugged her closer to me at the thought of her being hurt. She squirmed at my embrace, " hu," she breathed.
I turned to Shal, gently giving the girl to her. "I know you know who she is, Shal. Please get her home safely. I have a party to attend." [ I want them dead! ]
Shal had a hard time believing what I had told her but she followed the orders nonetheless. When they were gone I lowered my voice and said, "come out!"
A few silhouettes appeared and then out under the light of the moon. One of them said, " what can a wannabe soldier do? Break our legs or plead to us not to hurt you?- ha! ha! ha! ha!"
"You're dead!" I declared as I engaged in combat. There were 5 of them but I instantly noticed how they kept their distance from me. [ it seems that they're bad at melee fights, then I just have to close the distance!]
"Awe, too bad. We outnumber you!" a woman said as I tried to concentrate, I appeared before her and bit off her neck as viciously as I can. " How did you!?-" she covered her neck as fast as she could but the blood won't stop.
I smiled in satisfaction, knowing that she would die slowly, painfully and fearfully until the last minute of her life. I can taste and smell iron as the warmness of blood dripped on my undershirt. [ Shit! my undershirt that went through so many things with me has been stained with blood!]
All of them had long-range weapons while I had none so I decided not to prolong the fight or I'll be exhausted and be at a disadvantage.
[ But I'm probably the smartest person here even if I don't have a weapon of my own. ]
"What are you doing? cripple him!" In that moment, I saw shurikens flew past my line of sight. Then an arrow cut the side of my arm.
[ They probably didn't want to alert anyone, that's why they didn't use guns.]
" Why isn't the poison working on him?" I appeared behind the one who just spoke, instantly twisting his head 270 degrees from his shoulder. He dropped dead in an instant.
"How about this!? Ha!" a smoke bomb exploded and filled the narrow alley with fragrant smoke.
[ An aphrodisiac? ] I tried to run away into the street to escape the smoke but I seem to have inhaled a bit. Too bad for me, they had their face covered the entire time so they weren't affected.
" Go get him! Don't let him get away!" They chased after me which was their biggest mistake for they just became clear targets.
I expertly threw three shuriken at their throat. [ hahaha! perfect! ] They're all dead. I yawned at the sight of their corpses. " If I don't have weapon then I'll just have to take it from someone or pick it up from somewhere, right?" They knew poison didn't work on me but they still attempted aphrodisiac so stupidly, not knowing they're all not effective against me. Walking into a my trap earned me a triple kill.
That night, I walked away feeling refreshed after wiping all the things I remember that I touched clear of any fingerprint. I also checked if there was any nearby camera but there wasn't any. [ I knew this was premeditated but- to think life is just like a staged act- *sigh*]
+Alva Mansion+
--Perez Alva POV--
"Come on Venus, tell Papa what happened? I will scold the bad guys for you!" Perez Alva kneeled before his daughter while holding her arms. He was recently surprised at the sudden knock at the door by the Veldora Family's maid holding his daughter Venus in her arms.
" A few assassins were after her. The young master has just returned from the military camp so he took it upon himself to clean up the mess," the maid had informed him before quickly disappearing from sight.
" the Young master?" Perez Alva remembered the promised Alpha to his daughter and smiled. [ It is a good sign that he cares for you, and those who sent assassins after my daughter will face the vengeance of the most powerful and vicious Alpha in the capital.
"Papa, that's not possible anymore. The bad guy, he-he's dead. He- he... bled!!" Venus kept shaking in fear as Perez already knew why.
"I don't know if it's good for you to be with him but if you don't want to, just tell Papa and I will break the engagement." Perez Alva had always been apprehensive about the Alpha's violent nature but a promise had been made. It would mean war to break it but he only wants what's best for his daughter.
" Papa, no! Black Wolf is not bad. Black Wolf protected me. He was warm, he hugged me and he smelled great!" Venus was smiling ear to ear at the memory she had.
*sigh* "Okay, okay. Don't be mad, okay?" Alva Perez just loved his daughter very much since his wife had long passed away. He couldn't bear to make his last family be unhappy or sad.
+Outside the Alva Mansion+
----Gayara POV----
I followed The girls' scent for I was worried whether she was alright or not, forgetting all the blood and sweat clinging to my body. I stood at the top branch of a tall gingko tree, overlooking my girl's room.
I could hear what they were talking from where I was for my senses were the sharpest among my peers. Mr. Perez said, "Come on Venus, tell Papa what happened? I will scold the bad guys for you!"
[ That's right, I need to take revenge on the masterminds before I go back to my post in the military.] I was then interrupted at the rapid beatings of the heart that was my girl's. It was fear as I heard her say, "Papa, that's not possible anymore. The bad guy, he-he's dead. He- he... bled!!"
[ Is she afraid of me because I'm too violent? ] I tugged at my shirt, feeling as though I'm choking. My heart stings at the thought of being hated but how can I stop being violent if I am angry for her?
I was even more alarmed to hear Mr. Perez say, "I don't know if it's good for you to be with him but if you don't want to, just tell Papa and I will break the engagement."
I clawed at the tree where I'm standing, 4 - deep diagonal marks left as I struggled to keep myself rooted to where I'm standing. I wanted so badly to enter and defend myself, say I would be willing to do anything just so she can still be mine. But what I didn't want to hear most is her declaring that she doesn't want to be with me. I wanted to run away and lash out at the world but I'm glad I didn't because my anxieties were rested.
She quickly defended me from her father, " Papa, no! Black Wolf is not bad. Black Wolf protected me. He was warm, he hugged me and he smelled great!"
That was all I needed to feel fulfilled and not futile in love. What can I do? She holds my heart hostage after all.
----Back to Present----
I was crying and laughing in my sleep, I didn't notice my mother who stormed the bathroom and slapped me awake from my fond memories.
"I told you to come home! Gayara. What are you doing... here?" Mother seemed to have realized as to why I chose to come to my villa instead of the main household.
" Oh, " she blinked a few times before observing me who was bathing in ice, my eyebrows knitted, my face flushed and my hands clawing at the bathtub.
"What about your suppressants?" mother scanned the place with her eyes. There wasn't any.
"Drugs don't work on me any more, mother." My voice was weak and my face haggard. I looked at her with tired eyes.
She frowned, even more confused. " So, how do you relieve yourself when you're short on time?
I tried to avoid answering to the question but my mother admonished me, " look at me on the eye! Stop avoiding the question."
" Relax mother, I didn't sleep with anyone." I assured her.
" So how did you do it?" She was never going to give up any time now. * sigh*
"I subject myself to unforgettable pain."
