Chapter 6

ALPHA ROMAN'S POV

My wolf was restless; he was going wild with the distance between us and Annabelle, but I couldn't overlook the situation; many lives would be at risk.

The blood moon wasn't yet over; hence, it would be dangerous to step out. I spent half of my years locked up in darkness in the hope of taming my wolf. I have long believed my existence was with darkness, it has always been the same procedure over and over again. I go through the same thing every year in fact, it has been a routine, a way to keep my wolf in check since the blood sun happens to be his doom. The daylight that comes after every night was our curse, The Blood Sun! I have to avoid daylight for six months every two years during the blood moon. The last time I stepped out in the blood sun, I lost control and killed someone close to me. Since then, I have resulted in this measure.

The darkness was the only way to avoid the blood sharing. My wolf, Xade, gets out of control on the last day of the sixth month which was why the underground room was built with unbreakable metals.

The funny thing was I have never felt this restless nor tired of the dark because I have always loved being away from the world, but this time, I couldn't let myself feel the same way.

I wanted to smell her, touch her, and feel her presence. I wanted to be closer to her more than I have ever been and I wished the blood moon was fucking over.

“ Alpha Christopher is still adamant about your warnings. He claims to have rights over his daughter.“ Vincent's voice broke through my thoughts but I immediately restrained myself from doing what I knew how to do best.

My cold face faces the small opening at the window that displays the huge pack building. I want this to be over so I can deal with things my way. Six months in this tiny room have suddenly become stressful.

“ Call her number,” I ordered, and Vincent pulled out his phone from his pocket. “ She isn't answering, '' he informed me after a few seconds and I turned towards the door in cold anger. I warned him not to call her or fucking speak to her! "You can't leave this room, Roman, “ Vincent reminded me and I halted at the door. “ It's the last day of the sixth month, “ he pleaded, but I ignored him and went ahead to open the door.

Her brown eyes shifted to me the minute I stepped into the room.

“ Alpha Roman. “ I guess she was the one Vincent arranged for Annabella; my gaze didn't leave hers. I noticed a confused look appear on her face but that didn't stop me. “ Good morning” I placed a soft kiss on her forehead before stepping back with my hands caged in my pocket, my cold eyes staring back at her.

I couldn't hold back my growl when her arousal sprayed in the air.

My eyes turned gold while I stared at her with lust. Her face flashes in embarrassment, and she immediately runs back into the room. My eyes narrowed as I stared at her juggling ass.

ANNABELLA'S POV

A pair of cold dark blue eyes, short white devil hair, and a cold, perfectly sculptured face.

“ Luna '' a knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts as I suddenly stood up from the bed. “ W-who is there?” I stuttered, my gaze pointed to the door with a pale face as if I had seen a ghost. My shaking hands clenched onto my white dress, my heart throbbing in my chest. “ The alpha has left, and I just thought I should let you know, and your food is getting cold.“ she spoke, and I bit hard on my bottom lip.

I didn't know why I ran off like that nor did I know why my body reacted the way it did towards his touch. It was very embarrassing, uncultured, and very mannerless.

Why was the scared?

The chill that ran through my spine, the tangles that crawled on my skin like mahouts, and the throb that I felt in between my legs. My heartbeat smashes in my ears like a playing drum, and my throat...

Ahhhh.......

I blew out a mouth full of air as I fanned myself with my hand.

Something like this has never happened to me, even with Summer, who was my fated mate; I never felt this way with him or anyone else.

It was a strange feeling yet my body seemed to accommodate it very well.

Why was I worried?

Summer's touch has never made me this vulnerable and embarrassed before. We were mates but not once did a mere peck from him make me feel this stupid.

What just happened?

I swallowed and stared around the room restlessly, I couldn't believe it happened. How did it happen, I just didn't know what came over me or why his touch aroused me in the first place. Goddess, I feel like locking myself in this room forever because I doubt I would be able to face him. I pushed my hair back from my face, I couldn't stop myself from feeling embarrassed.

Staying in the room without food was he; I didn't know what to do, nor did I have the peace I wanted. My stomach wouldn't stop growling nor could I stop myself from walking to the door.

I traced my steps towards the kitchen only to freeze at a sudden nose that seemed to be arriving from there. “ Luna '' the brown hair woman whom I met in the kitchen early this morning stepped out of the huge kitchen space with two plates in her hand. “ Thank goodness you are here, I was starting to worry.” She dropped the two plates on the table. “ You didn't eat anything during breakfast, so I decided to serve you something for lunch, and I hope you like it. '' I watched as she pulled out more plates from the kitchen with a smile on her face as if she enjoyed what she was doing. She didn't look like the defensive woman I met in the morning but what changed?

“ I hope you enjoy my cooking, '' she said and my gaze shifted from her face to the countless beautiful dishes that were showing on the table. I couldn't agree less; I was sure I would love them, but my gaze went up to the door, and she smiled. “ Alpha Roman doesn't come here often.” She said and I narrowed my eyes. Wait, what did she mean she didn't come here often?

“ Don't get me wrong. You need to eat,” she said, discarding the topic as if telling me not to ask any questions, and I nodded, understanding what she meant. “ Enjoy your meal, “ she said but for some reason, I wasn't hungry anymore.

I sat on the chair and grabbed a fork but I couldn't get something right. If he doesn't come here often then was his coming here in the morning a coincidence? What about last night?

“ You can tell me what you like to drink during lunch, and I will make it for you,” she requested politely, and I stared up at her in a daze. “ I'm fine, thank you.“ I said in a low tone and started stuffing food into my mouth even though I had lost a huge part of my hunger.“ Okay, Luna” she left my side in the kitchen.

I wondered why they said he was an ugly beast because he wasn't. He was charming and very handsome looking but I doubt he was any friendly. He was something else, very different from all the men I had seen, and I didn't know why, but I guess something was weird.
