Augustus had come to pick me and I went back to the castle. I got some chips with me from the kitchen and went up to my room. The best part of the kitchen was the refrigerator. There were three of them. One for the vegetables, the second one for meat and the third one contained my dream item food like chips, chocolate, cold drinks, jellies, pastries, and other stuff. It was my dream refrigerator.
I was sitting on the desk and studying for the upcoming test when I felt lips on my cheek.
"You're working hard," Ruka said tucking a hair around my ear.
"I have a test coming up," I told to which he hummed, "Have you gone to college?" I asked him curiously.
"Yes, love I have," he said as he unbuttoned his shirt.
"Really?" I asked amazed.
"Yes and before you ask how was it, it was boring," he said and was going to enter the shower but stopped by the door, "Lizzy was asking for you."
"Oh okay," I replied closing the books and got up. Lizzy was nowhere to be found neither in her room nor in the living room. I could not see the other family members either. They were in the home theatre room. It was dark inside even with the small lights up in the ceiling.
"Eve!" Lizzy exclaimed looking at me, "We are going to watch a horror movie tonight," she said.
"Vivi," Aiden said lifting up both of his hands and I picked him, "Horror movie," he said. I felt him heavy compared to last time I had picked him.
"Am I the only one who thinks Aiden has grown a little with height and weight?" I asked them.
"Aiden is a child of a vampire and a werewolf mating. The offspring's growth is faster considered to the human growth," Sebastian replied. He and Louis were sitting in the second row.
"Wow," I replied.
"We are watching insidious!" Lizzy declared.
"Aiden too?" I asked wide-eyed.
"Oh no," Andria replied, "We'll be leaving before the movie starts." Lizzy was fixing the DVD she had got in the player and changing the channels.
"What's a Gio?" I asked them suddenly remembering today's event.
"Hmm, how do I put it," Andria said before speaking, "They belong to the lowest of the low rank in a supernatural committee," she explained.
"Why did you ask that?" Sebastian asked me curiously.
"I just overheard the word today and didn't know what it is," I replied to which he just nodded his head.
"I'm waiting for tomorrow," Lizzy sang happily.
"Why's that?" Louis asked her.
"I can't wait to see Megan's reaction, once she sees Eve's mark," she told happily. Megan was coming back tomorrow.
When Ruka came they decided to start the movie after Andria left with Aiden.
Lizzy sat in the first row and Ruka sat in the fourth row, and I sitting next to him. The movie had started and we watched it intently. I was all right until ghosts appeared in the camera the person who was clicking his camera for a trace of a ghost, making me jump. Ruka pulled me to his lap and we continued watching.
Whenever something happened on the screen unexpected, I would clutch his shirt tightly or hide my face in his chest and then peek slowly.
By the end of the movie, I was scared like crap, feeling like there were invisible people around us and Ruka's shirt was crumpled in the front because of me.
After having our dinner, I was going back to the room before Aiden called me to show a drawing he had made. It was my picture and it was good. He kissed my cheek sweetly and there was a growl behind me.
I turned back to see Ruka coming with his eyes turning dark. He pulled me to his chest and glared at Aiden.
"Ruka! You're scaring him," I scolded him. The little boy seemed scared and I could see his eyes shining with the water building up.
"Mine!" Ruka growled. He was behaving like a child now, was he seriously jealous of Aiden? You must be kidding me.
Andria took hold of Aiden and gently rubbed his back, "Ah goodnight," she told awkwardly and went to their room.
"Why did you do that?" I asked him angrily, getting out of his hold.
"I don't like guys kissing you," he replied.
"He's just a child!"
"You won't say that next month and I don't share what's mine with anyone, Eve," he said seriously, his eyes boring into mine.
"He's a little boy, Ruka," I said, "That was a mean thing," and I went to my room.
Changing into my pj's I got out of the bathroom. It was raining outside accompanied by thunder and lightning. Ruka was sitting on the bed and looked my way, I averted my eyes.
"Eve?" he called but I didn't reply, getting inside the cover I slept at the corner of the bed, "You're angry," he sighed.
He switched off the lights and got inside the covers too. Sometime later, the thunder increased making me jumpy and after watching a scary movie, it made my night worse. The temperature dropped down gradually making the atmosphere cold
It was almost an hour since I got in the bed. I was feeling cold and it looked like Ruka was asleep. Thinking about what happened I felt we both had behaved childishly. The curtain moved making my heart speed up.
I slowly moved closer to him. I was next to him and I snuggled against his chest, I felt Ruka's arm around my waist and he pulled me closer to him. He was awake.
"I'm sorry," he whispered against my hair.
"I'm sorry too," I mumbled.
"My wolf took over, I shouldn't have scared Aiden that way," he said nuzzling his head in my neck, "I spoke to Aiden when you were showering. He's fine."
"Thank you," I told him.
"You're welcome, love," he said kissing my lips and then spoke, "I don't want any guy touching you, you're mine" he growled and I felt his chest vibrate.
"All yours," I agreed with him closing my eyes. The safest place was right here, in his arms. In the morning both Ruka and I were awoken by a shrill voice.
"What's she doing here?!"
I opened my eyes to see a fuming Megan standing at the door looking at us. I guess that's one way for her to know that we were together, not like I imagined she would find out.
When I looked to see what Ruka's reaction was, I found him looking at me and he leaned in giving me a kiss on my lips. I heard the door close with a thud. Ruka pulled back and grinned.
He did it on purpose!
Ruka's POV:
When I got up early in the morning, I saw Eve sleeping peacefully. I tightened my hold on her and nuzzled her hair. After such a long time, I felt contentment.
It was wrong of me to behave like that last night but I could not help it, seeing Aiden kiss her I felt a rush of possessiveness overcome me. I was feeling possessive over her as each day passed by; whenever I could, I would drop and pick her up from her school wanting to be around her. I sighed thinking about it.
It was cute to see her getting close to me little by little when she was the one who put the distance when we got into bed last night. She was such an adorable thing that I wanted to cuff her hand with mine so I could be with her all the time.
I closed my eyes and heard her steady heartbeat which was music to my ears. I wanted to turn her after a few months but after she turned eighteen her happiness was mine and if she wanted to stay human for a few years, I would let her. I would stand by her and protect her.
I heard my doorknob turn and saw Megan enter.
"What is she doing here!" she shrieked out looking at Eve and me in bed.
Eve woke abruptly sitting up, her eyes opened and saw Megan standing at the door fuming. First of all, what was Megan doing in my room this early in the morning and secondly I had never given her permission to enter my room.
A few centuries back we did hook up but it was nothing serious. If it weren't for her father being a Viscount she wouldn't have the privilege to stay here for even a day. No matter how nice or harshly I put it across her that it was just a onetime thing she did not get it. It was time to make a clear point.
I looked at Eve whose eyes were wide and she then looked up to me. I leaned in and gave her lips a lingering kiss. The door of my room closed indicating Megan had left. Pulling back I grinned making Eve narrow her eyes.
"Megan knows now," she said worriedly.
"She doesn't," I assured her, "She thinks we made out not that we are mates."
"But she will get to know by seeing this," she said pointing her neck. I leaned down and kissed the mark I had given her, she shuddered.
"Then let her," I replied to her and peppered kisses on her neck.
"She will give me a hard time," she said biting her bottom lip unconsciously.
"She won't, trust me," I told her, "Go back to sleep now, love. We have a lot of things to do for today."
"What is it?" she asked me curious her voice hinting an excitement as I pulled her back and rested my chin on her head.
"You will know soon," I chuckled. I went to the office room later where Sebastian and Louis were there sitting.
"How was your morning?" Sebastian asked me hiding a smile.
"Interesting," I replied.
"The whole castle heard Megan. She came fuming down the stairs and left the castle," Louis informed me.
"Hope she's left for good," Sebastian said happily.
"About that, I have a new proposition to offer." I said gaining both their attention, "I have decided to cut ties with the Viscount and form a stronger ally with the French Duke."
"You mean William Vernes?" Sebastian asked and pondered over it, "I think its a good one," he said.
"How is the Viscount going to react and there's Megan to add to it," Louis said.
"That's arranged," I told them and they nodded, "And Louis I want you to contact the Preston's and arrange something for me," I smirked thinking about what I had in my head.
"Yes," he replied.
After spending some time in the office going through the reports of the locals, everything seemed normal. I had asked Eve to come to the office once she was done with her homework.
"What?!" Eve asked now as she stood in my office.
"Yes, Louis will teach you on how to defend yourself. You didn't think I would let you go for the trip just like that, did you know?" I asked amused.
"But Louis and Derek will be there. Moreover, I have that sword," she said reminding me. I know she wanted to go enjoy like the other students in her school and I don't think whoever was behind trying to kill her would try anything now.
"I know love but it's better to be prepared, if by the time of the trip Louis feels you're able to handle a fight then you can go else..." I trailed looking at her shocked expression.
She stood there thinking deeply and then spoke, "Okay, I'll do it." Good.
