章節 31: The Ex- Part 1
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.
章節 32: The Ex- Part 2
Eve's POV:
"I need a break," I said huffing for air.
"We just began warming up," Louis said to which I glared.
"It has been an hour since the warming up!" I told him, he chuckled hearing this. I was a human for heaven sake, not a vampire like him.
He was good with his fighting skills and yesterday we had a mini sparing were out of defense I had bitten him, which had Sebastian laughing.
Its been nearly a week since my training began with Louis. He's not made it easy, workouts on workouts I was out of energy every night.
Ruka had sent Megan to her father and out of this castle; I mean she does not stay here anymore. She looked furious that day; the look on her face was priceless. He had broken off the ties with her father and had built a new relationship with William, Jessi's beloved. I did see Megan during school and received glares from her.
"You know, you just have to say the words," he said his lips curling up slightly. Now that I think about it, I have never seen him carefree. It seemed as being Lizzy's twin; he had given her all those characteristics too.
"As if I would," I shot back an answer taking the water bottle and drinking it.
Ruka had told if I felt I could not handle this I could ask them to stop but I would not be going to trip either. After another hour, I went back to the room and showered.
I loved this bathroom. It had a Jacuzzi bathtub, which I had only seen in magazines. After the shower I got out and picked my clothes, there was a note on the bed. Please tell me it is not what I think it is.
Opening the note, I let out a sigh of relief. It was from Ruka and he asked me to wear something casual, telling we were going out.
I took out a plain grey top and black jeans to go with it. I had left my hair down. Going out I met Ruka, his back was leaning on the car.
We were in the mall now shopping. I had three bags in my hand and so did Ruka. The crazy thing was all of it was my stuff. Ruka picked almost every little thing he found good on me. There were women who were gawking at him at a particular store and I had pulled him out of there. I felt possessive.
Ruka later said that he would be back in ten minutes as he had someone to talk to. I waited for him outside Archie's store, when someone interrupted my thoughts.
"Is that you, Eve?"
"Steven?"
He was my first crush. He had dark brown hair with black eyes and was a werewolf. He had led me on making me think he liked me but before I could get into a relationship Jessi and Rini had found out that he already had a mate.
He was a lying and a manipulative guy in short.
"How are you? It's been so long since I last saw you," he said in a surprised tone. The nerve he has to ask me that.
"Yeah," I replied, "I'm good."
"You look beautiful by the way," he complimented me.
"Where's your mate?" I asked him while my eyes searched for Ruka and not acknowledging his flattery.
"We didn't get along well, so we rejected the whole thing," he said casually, "We should definitely hang out sometime," God he was worse.
"I'm already with someone," I told him to which he laughed.
"I don't think he's as good as me," he boasted arrogantly. Only if you knew, I thought in my head.
"I need to go," I said him feeling uncomfortable.
"No, stay," he said trying to grab hold of my elbow but I moved a good distance away from him quickly, "Let's hangout now." I looked at him as though he had grown two head.
"Is there a problem?" It was Ruka.
"No, I am talking to my girlfriend so mind your work," Steven said and then looked at me, "What was I telling? Yes, that-"
"Can you repeat that again," Ruka interrupted with a growl. I could see that Ruka was trying to keep his cool.
"I'm talking to my-" and Ruka punched him square in his face. Well, he asked for it. Ruka put his arm around my waist which was a clear sign that meant I was his and walked me out of the mall.
"Who was that and why was his hand on yours?" Ruka asked as we drove back to the castle.
"Steven. We studied in the same school. I used to like him a year back but not now," I said him to which he just gave a curt nod, "He had a mate."
"Had?" he asked me raising his eyebrow in question?
"He rejected her," I told him.
"I see," he replied. I am glad he did not flip or anything on me, "Louis told you're doing well in your training."
"And?" I asked him a little excited at what he was getting to.
"You can go on the trip," he said a smile tugging his lips.
"Yay!" I jumped from my seat and hugged him.
Next day in the school, I walked to my class and saw Maximus or Max as he preferred. I pulled out his book from my bag.
"Here," I told him handing over the book. He opened the book and went through the pages.
"Sweet," he said and closed the book. The class began as usual; we were given exercises to solve in the class. As I was writing, I felt a pair of eyes on me, which was Max and I ignored it but after some while, it started annoying me.
"Don't you have anything better to do than stare?" I asked him.
"I was wondering how I could make you solve the rest of my assignments," he said grinning.
"Are you so busy that you can't do such a small thing?" I asked while I continued solving on my book.
"Hmm," was his reply to it, "So who's your mate?" he asked me casually changing the subject.
"And why would I say that?" I questioned him back. I felt suspicious about him.
"Because we are friends?" he asked giving me an innocent look.
"We aren't," I told him.
"I'm hurt Eve," he said dramatically, "You know you didn't have a mark last week. I know its someone from this school. Is it Louis?Derek?" he asked me.
"What?! No!" I whisper yelled.
"I wonder who it is," he murmured to himself.
"Why do you even want to know?"
"Because friends know about each other," he protested, I mentally face palmed myself listening to this.
I went to the next class after that and sat next to the window. I had one more class after this and then I was free to go. Feeling thirsty I pulled out the bottle and drank the water. I still had the water in my mouth, looking outside.
"Good afternoon class, I'm Mr. Reed," a husky voice spoke making my head snap and I choked looking at the person.
"Your Advance mathematics teacher is on leave due to personal reasons, in the meantime I'll be handling the class," he looked at me and I saw his lips slightly curl up. He was wearing square spectacles.
Girls were already fawning over him giving their best smiles. He was going to teach here? My eyes were wide as saucers and the thing was no one even recognized him as Ruka Wolfric.
