Angel’s POV
It might be childish to do so, but I wanted badly to swear and curse and reduced him to nothing.
He didn’t even raise his eyebrows at my words.
“Yes, I’m a jerk. Angel, don’t be so mad over a jerk. It’s a waste of time,” he said calmly as he uncuffed me.
I hated the calm and confident look on his face, so I jumped up to give him a punch on his face.
However, he dodged sideways as if he could predict my movement.
“You’re slower than usual. Is it because of your headache?” He asked with a faint smile on his face.
I took it as a provocation.
I started another round of attacks. I used my gift and kicked him on his knee.
This time he failed to dodge and lost his balance. However, before I could get the chance to laugh at him, he fell to me.
The next second, he had his body on top of me.
Our eyes met. He seemed a little stunned at what was happening.
“Get up!” I scolded him as loudly as I could.
However, what I said had the opposite effect. He didn’t get up from me, instead, he lowered his head and stared at my neck fixedly, the same way a predator looked at a prey.
Somehow, I couldn’t speak or move. It was like in a daze.
The next second, his eyes turned from brown to black, and his canines were revealed.
Although I was still a girl, I realized what it meant immediately.
Francis wanted to mark me!
He rejected me yesterday and what was he doing now?
And the worst of all, I should’ve felt sick with him, but I didn’t.
The thought that he wanted to mark me made my heart pound like mad.
The next second, his face changed as if he thought of something, he jumped up from the bed with his back to me.
When he turned around after seconds, he had recovered from it and he looked cold and indifferent.
“Alpha Nicholas will come to see you later,” Francis began to talk.
“No!” I interrupted him immediately.
Francis looked at me and sighed, “Angel, don’t be silly. You’re going to be his mate. Don’t you want to know more about him?”
“Speaking of which, Francis, what were you doing just then? I’ll tell your alpha when I meet him that you made a move on me. Francis, you’re done!” I said threateningly.
“No you won’t.” he said with a smile. Then he added, “Alpha is not mad at you although you tried to escape, but don’t talk back to him. Mind your manner and don’t do anything rude to him. And Elsa is Nicholas’ sister. She can read other people’s thoughts. Don’t try to hurt her anymore,” he added and then turned around to leave.
“Francis!” when he walked to the door, I stopped him and said under gritted teeth, “I wanted to escape and you stood in the way. If I really become the Luna, don’t ever show up in front of me, or you’ll regret it!”
He turned around, gave me an unfathomable smile, and left.
In the afternoon.
The alpha really came over.
I didn’t want any dealing with him. However, as soon as he stood at the door accompanied by a bunch of warriors, I could feel his dominant vibe as an alpha.
Before I knew it, I had already lifted my eyes and looked at him, waiting for his command.
He was in a hooded black robe that covered most part of his body. He seemed quite tall, much taller than Francis. But his face couldn’t be seen because he wore a veil and a pair of glasses.
Much as I didn’t want to admit it, I had an interest in him. I wanted to see what was behind the veil. I wondered when he would take off the veil.
He walked directly toward me and sat beside the bed.
It was a strange feeling. He was so close to me that I could see him clearly except for his face. I could see clearly the silver pattern on his robe, the ring he wore, and even his long eyelashes. At the same time, he was indifferent and unapproachable because I couldn’t see his face. I wanted to take off his veil and saw what he looked like. Of course, I didn’t dare to do so.
He stared at me and made me feel very nervous, although Francis told me that Alpha wouldn’t be mad at me.
He took his eyes off me, and his gaze fell on my handcuffed hand.
He stopped beside the bed and uncuffed my hand.
“I’m Nicholas. The date of the ceremony has been decided. You’ll turn eighteen years old after two months. Three days right after your birthday, you’ll become my Luna,” he said with a commanding tone. Although his voice was quite soft for an alpha, what he said was very cruel to me.
I looked at him in disbelief. They had already decided the date of the ceremony and I didn’t even know what he looked like.
“I know you’re a warrior in your original pack and your gift is rare. You can take training here after you feel well. Everything will be the same except that you’ll be my mate,” he continued with a voice that betrayed no emotion.
I couldn’t believe what I just heard. At the Blood Moon Pack, I didn’t get the right to learn to fight until I won the challenge. And now, Nicholas allowed me to continue with training although I didn’t even bring it up.
