章節 10: Mate- Part 1
I was still sitting on Ruka's lap savoring every second of it. My words couldn't express the shock and excitement I now felt with everything being told. To be told that someone was made just for me brought me immense joy.
I did not feel the sparks and tingles how Rini had explained when mates touched each other but I felt warm and safe with the person sitting with me now. I took a deep breath inhaling his woodsy scent which was making me giddy.
"Eve I have something important to talk about," Ruka said breaking the trance I was in. I waited for him to continue.
"You remember what I told about you getting attacked that day by those two vampires?" I nodded my head, "Our doubt was right."
"What do you mean?" I asked him and after a few fractions of seconds, it dawned to me. That could not be possible.
"We thought it was just a random occurrence that happened. However, it wasn't possible. We have execution system in the arcade wherein if someone broke the law the penalty is death and this was one of them. Even after doing some investigation with the best trackers it was a dead end," he explained looking out from the window.
"But I never was involved with any vampires in my past except for one werewolf guy," I told him and he snapped his neck looking at me his eyes turning red and his posture turning stiff. I was aware of why vampires or werewolves eyes turn red or black. It meant only one thing. Anger, lust or jealousy. A strong emotion. Now, it did not seem like it was the former.
"Werewolf guy?" he asked cooly carrying a certain edge to his voice. Was he jealous?
"Yes, he's my best friends mate, Alex," I told him a little worried. I did not want him getting into a bad spot because of me, and it was another thing that Rini would chew me alive.
"Midnight packs beta?" he asked me. I nodded a yes and his posture seems to relax. So he knew him. Of course, he would know, I thought to myself.
"I think someone has figured out that you are my mate and that's the only reason I can think of now," he then took a deep breath, "You have nothing to worry about it. I will have Louis accompany you during school," he said smiling at me softly.
"No, I don't need that!" I protested. I did not want anyone babysitting me. I was perfectly fine taking care of myself.
"Your safety comes first love," and he continued, "You'll have combat lessons on weekends to defend yourself."
I gawked at him. Did I hear him what he said right? Was I preparing for war? This is stupid, I wanted to tell him but looking at his cool demeanor I just nodded my head.
"That's good." Dumb idiot, I scolded myself.
"For now I want you to keep the mate thing under the lid. Not even your friends at least until this whole attack thing is sorted out. Sebastian, Louis and Elizabeth are the only ones who are informed about it," I felt a slight disappointment but said an okay to it.
"Now then let's go eat," he said as I felt my stomach rumble which made my cheeks go a red shade.
We went to the dinner hall and saw Lizzy, Louis, Sebastian and three other people sitting already. There was a woman in her thirties and a fiery haired girl. Then there was a little boy who looked not more than three, Was he immortal too? They sat there talking like any normal family. I wonder where or what happened to Ruka's parents.
The seat next to Ruka was occupied by Sebastian and opposite to it sat a fiery haired girl. I made a eye contact with her and she glared at me. Wow, if looks could kill I thought dryly. When I took the nearest seat that was near the woman, she introduced herself with a warm smile,
"I'm Andria." She seemed sweet, "this is my son Aiden and that is our acquaintance, Megan," pointing to the fiery hair girl.
"Eve," I introduced myself politely, "Hi Aiden," I baby talked to him. He turned to look at me with his big brown eyes full of mischief. I smiled at him and he smiled back showing me his tiny teeth. I looked at Megan only to receive glares from her. What was she even glaring for?
"So Eve," Sebastian spoke, "How was school ?" he asked casually.
"Okay I guess. I survived," I grinned. He was easy to speak to who had a laid back character.
"That's good. I heard you met our annoying sister and Louis," he said referring to Lizzy, to which she glared at him.
"I'm not annoying," she protested as the food was brought in and we started eating. Ruka seemed to be talking to Megan about something.
"Any boys you liked?" he wiggled his eyebrow suggestively. This made Louis throw a dirty glare to Sebastian and Lizzy choked. Ruka seemed unfazed with it.
"Nope," I replied him back. Ruka had told he knew about us being mates then why was he trying to talk about guys. Ah, he was trying to ruffle Ruka's feathers but he seemed unfazed by Sebastian's question.
Was it because of that whole pull thing which was not in effect yet? Were we even mates? Yes, I did have an attraction to him, who would not? With that messy pitch-black hair, his piercing deep eyes, his perfect kissable pink lips...stop thinking that. I concentrated on my plate where the delicious food was waiting to be picked.
"Why is she even here?" a voice spoke up making me startle. It was Megan and she looked furious.
章節 11: Mate- Part 2
"Meg darling, this was already discussed ,that she's to be here for the education," Andria told trying to reduce the tension that was beginning.
"There's a different quarter to stay for that. She's a mere human and no humans are allowed here!" she spat.
"This topic is not up for discussion Megan. And no one is moving anywhere," said Ruka his tone was low and dangerous. She seemed a bit taken back at his words like not expecting it. She got up from her chair with a screech. Megan looked my way with disgust and anger. With that, she left the room.
"We apologize for her behavior," Andria apologized.
"Don't mind Megan," Lizzy told shrugging her shoulder and passing me a bowl, "try this out; it's tasty," as though nothing happened. Andria gave me an encouraging smile and I ate my food.
Rest of my dinner went fine talking to Lizzy, Andria and Sebastian. Ruka did not utter a word and got up after completing his dinner. Louis kept quiet just listening. Aiden was smart for his age. He did not want his mother feeding which Andria told was the first. She was a pleasant person to speak and was a werewolf. Her husband was a vampire and Aiden turned out to be a werewolf pup.
Once I finished eating Lizzy showed me the place around the castle. She showed me the right wing where there was music room filled with instruments, the game room and then the art room that had paintings filled.
"Wow it's beautiful," I exclaimed looking at one painting. It was a small figure in the woods. The way the color was blended with each other was amazing. There were also sketches.
"Did you draw them?" I asked Lizzy.
"No," she said sitting on one of the stools there, "these are done by Ruka and Sebastian. They are pretty good aren't they," she said smiling, "I play the violin maybe I could play for you," she suggested.
"That's nice," I agreed.
"So what are your hobbies, Eve?" she asked curious.
"I listen to songs or I sit and read all day long. I play a little of piano too," I replied.
"Read? Seriously?" she said shaking her head, "there is a library in the right wing maybe I'll show you there?" she asked me.
"I would love it," I grinned happily.
"I'm sorry you had to hear that from Megan. She's really annoying," she was looking at the paintings.
"That's alright," I told brushing it off. I did feel bad but I had forgotten about it, "She's your family so I'll work on it."
"Please no!" she gagged, "She's not one of our relative."
I was confused, scrunching my eyebrow, "Then what is she doing here asking me to move out," I asked her.
Lizzy sighed, "She's Count Viscount's daughter and has this huge thing for Ruka. They did have a relationship in the past which was years ago. God knows what he saw in her before. She thinks that she is going to be his queen. Are you kidding me, she's nothing but selfish," she looked irritated but I was too occupied with the shock.
Talk about ex drama. Wonder what she had to say about we being mates. Lizzy was smiling weirdly looking at me.
"What?" I asked her suspiciously narrowing my eyes on her.
"Well I know you know that I know you people are mates," she said then got excited suddenly, "that was like the friends dialogue!" I laughed hearing this. Lizzy was one happy go lucky person.
"He told me about it just before dinner," I said to her picking a brush and twirling it in my fingers.
"None of us imagined him to have a mate and now of all. It was a total shock to believe it. He seems calmer around you," she said smiling softly.
"I thought he was a calm person," I said since he seemed always composed.
She laughed but i could detect the dryness in it, "He is, but never cross him Eve. Mate or not," I didn't get completely what she meant but I didn't press on it, "Its true that a mate changes everything," she said softly as though she was talking to herself.
"So we are practically sisters now," she said grinning. Now that I thought about it, we were. "So did you two French kiss?" I was caught off guard with the question she threw at me.
"No," I quickly replied feeling a little embarrassed with the direct question.
"Really!" she stressed the word at the end and both of us were quiet when she spoke again.
"I do know the pull of soul is not in effect yet and that's why during dinner Ruka didn't bother you much about liking a guy ,not that it doesn't bother him you. Do you know how an Alpha behaves with his mate?" she asked me. I nodded.
Alpha's were dominating and possessive of their mate. They were passionate lovers. A little thing about their mate would send them to a hurricane mode. Comparing to them next were Beta's. I remember Rini telling me when Alex almost sent a boy to hospital for trying to flirt with her.
"Ruka is a vampire plus werewolf hybrid. I'm not trying to scare you, but his werewolf gene is just kicking in now . Once you touch your birth date you can multiply twenty Alpha's emotion to Ruka's as he comes at the top hierarchy" I gulped hearing this.
"Having a mate has its own perks," she winked at me playfully and got up, "let's go back now." This had never crossed my mind. Now that it had, my mind was reeling out in a haphazard way.
