章節 26: Turning eighteen
Eve's POV:
I finally turned eighteen today. I woke up at eight in the morning to see red roses surrounding my room. Ruka sent it with a card that said happy birthday. After having a shower, I was surprised to see Rini, Jessi, Bella, and Lizzy in my room with gifts.
I loved all the gifts. Aiden had made me a drawing as a present that was cute. Ruka and Sebastian had called to wish me a happy birthday.
I was sitting out in the garden now waiting for my parents to arrive at the castle. Jessi and Rini were inside checking out the castle with Lizzy and Bella.
I saw a car drive at the gate and stopped in front of the main entrance. Both my parents got outside the car and shutting it.
"Mom! Dad!" I called out excitedly. It was almost three weeks I had last seen them.
My mom embraced me in a bone-crushing hug, "Happy birthday sweetie," she wished me kissing my cheek.
"Thanks, mom," I replied and then hugged my dad.
"Happy birthday, baby girl," he wished me, "Turned eighteen, huh?" he said knowingly.
"Yes," I replied to him with a wide grin on my face, "Come on, I want you to meet some people," I said pulling his hand and going inside the castle.
Taking a few turns inside the castle, we went to the hall. Andria, Aiden, Lizzy, Bella, Louis, Jessi, and Rini were sitting on the couch. I made the introductions telling who is who, and they got along fine.
Everything was going well. My parents and best friends were here, there was my future family too. Only Ruka and Sebastian were missing. Megan had gone to her dad, which was a relief.
I spent my afternoon with my parents talking about college and their trip. I had literally missed them. Now I was in my room with Jessi and Rini. We spoke about a lot of stuff and I told them about Ruka.
"Really?" Rini asked wide-eyed.
"Yeah," I replied looking anywhere but them.
"Why is that you didn't tell us about it until now, hmm?" Jessi questioned me.
"It was a secret like I said before," I said defending myself," And you're not supposed to tell it to your mates."
"I knew it," Jessi said after a while.
"What?!" I asked shocked.
"Not that you were the king's mate but that you were kissed by your mate," she replied shrugging her shoulder and smiling.
"Well that does make sense," Rini said and had this broad smile on her face that made me feel a little better and after few seconds yelled, "We all have mates now!"
Someone knocked on my door and opened it. It was Grenda.
"Miss Eve, you're being called down with your friends," she informed me.
"We'll be there." Going down I saw a cake placed. By the look of it, I could say it was made of chocolate frosting. Yummy. I always felt awkward going and standing in front of the cake, not knowing when to blow the candles and cut the cake.
"Wish for something before you blow out the candle," Rini reminded me excited.
"Yes, wish for something," Lizzy chimed in. Making a wish, I blew out the candles and cut the cake. We sat out eating the cake until Rini saw the maze in the garden.
We went to the garden and entered the maze. It was difficult, all the routes looked the same. At the end of it, I couldn't say where the castle entrance was.
"Lizzy!" I called her, "Help me out." And she was there in a second laughing at my dilemma.
"Come on," she said pulling my hand, "I like them," she said when we reached the exit meaning Jessi and Rini. Rini was already out of the maze talking to Bella.
"I guess Jessi is the only who's inside," Rini said seeing us. In a minute Jessi came out a little tired.
"Next time I'm not going inside that," Jessi said us. We went to my room checking out the dress we were going to wear tonight to the club.
"You asked him right?" Lizzy asked confirming that Ruka had given an okay to go to the club.
"Yes," I replied to her, "He told Louis and Derek would accompany us."
"Men," Jessi and Rini said together, which made us all laugh.
"I'm glad Megan is away for a week," Bella said as we matched our shoes and accessories.
"Who's Megan?" Jessi asked.
"She's an annoying person who doesn't get along and likes Ruka," Lizzy replied.
Rini looked at me and smiled, "You have a rival huh."
"Yeah," I sighed and Rini patted my back.
My parents told me that they would go to our house to get a few things and had left the castle in the evening. We later got ready, dressing up. We were going to the club so all of us had our one piece ready. Mine was a black tube dress; the material clung to my body showing my curves. I put on a light make up and blow-dried my hair.
"Is everyone ready?" Louis asked behind the door knocking it.
"Yes, almost done," I replied checking myself in the mirror for the last time.
Getting into the car we went to the 14th street. When we reached, we met up with Derek who was waiting for us outside. This club was huge.
"Hey, happy birthday," Derek wished me with a hug. We took the pass and went inside. The music was blasting, the lighting dimmed a little and I could see people dancing on the floor.
We got to the counter and ordered our drinks, drinking it. We were having the third shot now and giggling. Louis and Derek sat there scanning at the crowd, their drink untouched.
"Let's dance!" Bella yelled and we girls nodded in agreement leaving the boys behind at the counter.
Getting on the dance floor, we started dancing moving our body in sync with the music. I could tell that the alcohol was taking over my body as we danced making me light headed but was this how the alcohol normally reacted on the body. It felt somewhat strange and a little dizzy. Lizzy and Bella had found people to dance with, dancing all sexy.
I laughed as I saw Rini and Jessi dance together. I wish Ruka were here. I felt the emptiness in my heart, wonder if it was the mating pull. The dance floor was impossibly crowded and I had lost my friends in the crowd. I continued dancing when I felt a pair of hands on my waist.
Turning around I saw a cute blonde-haired person behind me. I narrowed my eyes and pried his hands off my waist. I felt thirsty, where did the counter go, I thought.
I moved out of the dance floor and searched for the counter where Louis and Derek were seated. Suddenly I felt a hand on my mouth and I was pulled out, which looked like the back alley.
There were two men outside excluding the person holding me.
"Let me go!" I thrashed in his arms but the struggle was futile. I had no strength in my body.
They just laughed looking at me, "You caught a good one man," one of the people spoke.
"Yeah, she'll fetch us a lot of money," another one said. By this time I had gone from shock to panic. My heart pounding in my chest.
I tried moving my hand but he had caught it tightly. This is not how I wanted my birthday to be. I felt helpless and tears were building up.
Then there was a crash from the door behind. My eyes were drooping out and I heard bones crack and the beating sounds. The guy who was holding me, let go of my arms and I collapsed on the ground.
A few seconds later I felt someone pick me up.
"Shit! The drinks are mixed with something," it was Derek but his voice felt far. I struggled to open my eyes and saw golden with silver specs of eyes gaze at me.
"De-Derek?"
"We got you, Evie," it was Louis who was holding me. He was my protector? I closed my eyes drifting off to sleep.
In the morning when I got up, I felt my head was going to explode any second due to the pain. I groaned holding my head.
"You're up." Looking up I saw Andria sitting next to me, "How are you feeling?" she asked me.
"Terrible," I replied clutching my head in my hands, "Is this how a hangover feels?" I asked and she laughed at it lightly.
"I think so, but yesterday the drinks were mixed with sachire. It's a drug that is used by supernatural's, to get high," she explained to me. No wonder I felt weird last night.
"How's everyone else?"
"They are fine, Jessi and Rini are both mated to supernatural's, therefore, it didn't affect them as much as you," she said and continued, "Ruka and Sebastian are home."
"But they weren't expected until tomorrow, right?" I asked her.
"True, they finished their work early and I heard Sebastian say that Ruka was getting impatient from being away from you," she gave me mischievous smile.
"Where is he now?" I asked her.
"He'll be here in a minute, here take these," she said giving me water and a tablet, "It'll reduce the pain."
"Thank you, Andria," I thanked her," Have my parents returned back here?" I asked.
"No, they are at your home but they'll be here by four, that's what your mother said."
"Okay" and she left closing the door.
Thinking about yesterday made me feel more stressed out. Why was I always getting into such situations? I buried my face in the fluffy pillow and then felt a hand on my head. Turning to see who it is, I found Ruka looking at me intensely.
When I got up from the bed, I was engulfed in his warm arms. I felt tingles on my skin due to his touch. It was weird how his skin would turn either cold or warm at times. His hold tightened on me and I could feel him inhale me steadily.
"Mine," he whispered possessively in my ear, I shuddered to hear his husky voice. Moving my hair back, he dipped his nose in the crook of my neck, running his nose from my ear to the base of my throat.
"Ruka?"
"Hmm," was his reply as he kept me in place in his arms. I felt butterflies in my stomach building up. My eyes fell on the empty cupboard of my room. Where did all my clothes go?
He later moved back, his amethyst eyes burning intensely looking into my brown ones. I felt small now under his gaze.
"My things are missing in the room," I said him to which he just stared at me.
"Your things are being moved, sweet Eve," he replied.
"Moved?" I was confused.
"Yes," he replied embracing me again, " In my room."
章節 27: Close to you- Part 1
I was now sitting in my class, twirling the pencil in my hand as the lecturer spoke about the anatomy of the deer. I know it is weird when normally we learn about a frog or a cockroach but here it was about a larger animal.
I guess it is taught because of the werewolves and vampires who are studying here so that they can hunt down the animal more efficiently.
I had not slept at Ruka's room yet. Jessi and Rini left this morning, all of us slept in the same room including Lizzy and Bella. It was fun, having girls talking about everything. Though it was for a short span, I enjoyed the time with them. I wished the time stayed still.
During the dinner, everything went fine except for the looks Jessi and Rini gave looking at Ruka and me.
My parents had decided to stay at home a little longer, for a day more and then continue their world trip. Mom had asked me to come for dinner. Hearing this, Ruka insisted on coming with me, not that I could say no.
The bell rang indicating the end of the class, students dispersed and I went to the girl's restroom. Getting out from there as I walked to my locker to stuff my books in I saw Trent near the locker too.
Stuffing all the things I was about to leave when he spoke up,
"The smell of your blood keeps getting better," he said. Not wanting to interact with him, I turned to leave but he caught hold of my wrist, "Not so soon."
Before I opened mouth to talk someone's hand connected with Trent's jaw making him loosen his hand on me. I turned to see Louis standing next to me.
"Didn't I say to stay away from her? I guess my fist didn't put enough sense in your brain last week," Louis said coolly. I could see the gold color forming in his iris. So Louis was the one who hit Trent last week then.
He pulled me from the locker place leaving an angry Trent behind. That guy was jobless seriously.
"Thank you," I told him as we walked to the canteen.
"No problem."
"But why did you punch him?" I asked confused.
"I could smell the fresh antidote on your skin last week and the slight blood of yours on him," he said nonchalantly, "It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened."
I looked at him with awe; he was definitely a smart person. Everyone was already at the table. I just got a fruit pulp to drink.
"Was there a problem?" Derek asked sitting next to me.
"What?" I asked perplexed.
"I can smell a faint scent of Trent on you," he said raising his brow in question.
"Yeah, I mean no, no problem," I replied.
"Okay," I could see a few girls giving me glares. I wonder if it would ever stop. The Rest of our lunch went normal, just talking and eating.
"I wonder where we are going this time," Lizzy said. They were talking about the college trip, which was coming up in two weeks.
"Hope it's not some boring sightseeing," Kyle said.
"I heard its trekking this time with some cave. I would like that. Your coming right?" Bella asked me.
"Yeah, I think so," I replied, I do not think my parents would mind me going.
"Yay," both Bella and Lizzy exclaimed. I had no classes for the remaining day as we were getting out of the canteen; Louis spoke to when everyone went to their respective classes.
"I think you should ask Ruka about the trip," he said scanning the crowd.
"Yeah, will do," I replied and I got a text from Ruka telling me to come near the college entrance. He was picking me up, "I'll see you later."
"Sure, take care," and he left. Going outside, I found Ruka casually leaning on his car. He looked sexy and hot with his white buttoned up shirt and jeans. I could see a few girls checking him out and boys looking at him with envy.
I guess people did not know who the king was, maybe it's because he never made much of an appearance outside. Seeing me, he smiled.
He opened the door for and I got inside the car. Getting to his side, he got in and started the car.
"How was your day?" he asked me as he drove.
"Boring?" I asked unsure because the classes today was boring and I had spaced out thinking about him.
"I guess I'll have to talk to the principal to recruit fresh lectures."
"No no!" I said panicked, "I wasn't listening to the classes today". He chuckled hearing it.
"Alright," he replied, "We'll first go to the castle and you can freshen up before we go to your parent's place," he said.
"Okay," I replied to him. Going to the castle I went to my room to change forgetting that my things were moved to Ruka's room. He wasn't in the room when I went inside. Taking my necessities and a towel I hopped into the shower.
I picked plain jeans with a top to wear and applied a lip balm of cheery flavor on my lips. I was not going to a party or anything, so makeup was not necessary.
We were on our way to my home now. Thinking this was the best time to ask, I spoke.
"A trip is being arranged from the school after two weeks. I wanted to go..." I trailed waiting for him to talk.
"I don't think its a good idea, love," he said which made my heart drop.
"But everyone's going to be there," I told.
"No, Eve," he said and rest of the way I played with the radio tuner making a silent protest. Was it even working?
Once we reached home, I walked towards the door ringing the bell. Looks like mom watered the plants. Dad opened the door, talking to my mom.
"The box is in the left shelf of- oh honey they are here," dad said. Ruka looked quite intimidating to a person and I could see dad was affected a little by it.
"Hey, dad."
"Hey sweetie, your highness," my dad greeted, "Come on in."
"Good evening, Mr. Whitlock," Ruka greeted back.
