Chapter 29
DAVINA’S POV
Five Hours Earlier.
How cruel can he be, how harsh and hard can he be? Does he feel emotions at all? I’m not sure if the word disgust made me act this way or if something else triggered my feelings, I’m hurt, and I want to cry out in pain if that’s how I will express how I feel.
“Grey is different from Tristan, don’t be mad at our mate.” Lexie’s voice erupted.
“Lexie, I don’t know what is wrong. I reacted too much just because he called me disgusted. Do I really like him?” I muffled amidst tears.
“Davina, breathe.” Lexie tried to calm me as fast as possible but I was giving in and she took over, she left me conscious. My big white fur, I love my body.
“Yes, that’s it. Embrace yourself… Tristan is still healing-
“He should heal alone, he should battle with it. Must he have to be dangerous every minute? Showing off cold shoulders behind that soft part of him. I thought it’s going to be easy but this will take a lot of effort and patience-
“Endurance too,” Lexie added as we walked down the thick forest. I scanned my eyes around me and I realized how far we had come already.
“Do you think we know our way back to the pack?” I asked and she hummed “Yes” That calmed me for a while and we walked down the way.
“We are almost there Davina, we just have to prove we are different-
“I’m done proving Lexie! Don’t you get it? I will just be myself, do my thing, attend the pack duties, get along with his daughter and my girls right beside me, and also, my best friend before I came to this pack against my wish, I will reach out to her, it’s been long. Tristan should handle his shit and I do mine!
“He thinks he’s the only one who can give cold shoulders, he thinks he’s the only one that has a rough past… I grew up with a wicked stepmother. It has been rough and tough, she sold me without my permission, and if he thinks he can treat me anyhow just because I was brought, then it’s all wrong. I’m not his average girl, or his thing just with a different title. I don’t want to shut this part of me, because it’s my true self but I won’t stand him acting all mean, and cold just because of an event of the past that I was not aware of!!!” I rant out, trying to catch my breath as tears streamed down my cheeks. I bet Lexie could feel my anger but still, I don’t care, it’s the only way I can relieve myself at the moment.
“Grey said we should give him time for him to be free around you… without a body, the soul is useless.” She uttered and I sighed as we approached the stream.
“Oh cool a stream, we can sit a while and before returning to the pack,” I suggested, putting my paws in the water.
“Have you ever imagined the day Tristan will mark me as his mate?” I asked, proceeding to have a harmless conversation with Lexie.
“It’s definitely going to be a blessed day, the day I will feel full with him. It’s going to grow more bonds, we won’t be able to do without each other. It’s going to be a renewal of the whole love, affection, and intimacy.” She explained with excitement, how she was feeling beyond words. I chuckled because I badly craved to experience that day.
“We should head back to the pack. I don’t know how long we have been away.” Lexie talked.
“Do you think he will notice I’m not back??? ” I mumbled, feeling sad because he did not appear like someone who would care if I was back or not… I stood up and my nose got heavy. The scent got stronger, more like it coming from behind. Fear ran down my spine, I sensed no fear from Lexie and that kept me rest assured it was something she could handle all on her own.
“A rogue. Not one, but two.” My eyes widened. I turned around and my gaze landed on the rogues. They were positioned to bounce on me any moment.
“You have Tristan’s scent all over you.” the female rogue uttered furryly.
“Oh, I do???” I chuckled, “I’m the Luna, of course, I should.” I mumbled, and it fueled their anger more.
In a swift eye, the black rogue bounced on me but I dodged it off and had it flying away from me definitely with a deep scratch, the other one bounced on me and I gave it a sharp deep claw scratch. I moved to the other rogue, fighting dirty as it had me flying inside the stream. Now I’m drenched. I looked at my back, and I saw one of them gave me a cut already. I got angrier the more. If they were like this just because Tristan turned them like this, why do i have to suffer for it, all becauseI had his scent all over me.
Just when I was about to rebound on them, the sharp claws of one of them scraped my face, leaving it bleeding. I lost focus and they had me at the other part of the stream, I felt Lexie’s anger as she suddenly grew strong. There was a radiant energy I felt, it grew me weak but she kept getting stronger. The rogues were just not fighting, their aim was my heart, they wanted to plug it out.
“Lexie.” I reached out with a flimsy voice feeling weak in strength and my eyes slowly closed but I snapped it back open with the little strength with me. I just want to see how it goes.
“Davina, I will black you out for a while,” Lexie said hastily and at once, it was all blacked out. That was what I remembered…
