I can hear his heartbeat, I can perceive his scent, I can feel our bond but… I just don’t get it! Why does my heart ache so badly when it’s supposed to be both of us?
Now standing in front of the door, I can clearly see Rex staring blankly at some pile of paperwork on his table. His computer sat gracefully on the table with something showing on it. Something like a picture of…
‘Are that pictures of big black wolves?’ Ashina asked.
Rolling my eyes, I nodded and immediately felt stupid. She knows what that means already so I don’t see a point to be worried over my mate now staring at a picture of wolves.
‘Stalking him again?’.
That wasn’t Ashina!
Turning around, I found Mira staring at me with a flat smile on her tired face. Poor girl, even her walking steps seem so pathetic to watch, making me remember when I will look worst than this back when I was with my old park.
Yet, I will keep wondering what Rex has done for me when bringing me out of that prison was something more than gold. Seriously, I am beginning to think that Rex might just have a confusing personality because the Rex I thought he would be is nothing close to what he is right now.
I have to admit, Mira is also a nice person too, only this Luna of a thing isn’t making us comfortable as we thought. Walking toward me, she couldn’t even get to look at my eyes with fear. What has she got to do with this kind of respect anyway?
“Greetings, Luna,” She said with her neck bowed immediately she got to my front.
Oddly, I feel so happy for no reason. Can personality change overnight? I don’t get it! Weeks ago, I was too scared of everything and want to die even when I am scared to die. With a deep sigh, I took her hand, and at one instance, she raises her head up to stare at me.
“You don’t have to always act like this, Mira” I smiled “It’s not like he cares anyway”.
Wait a minute. Am I hearing people snorting from somewhere around?
Turning around, I got nothing but the smell increased though. Damn, I don’t want to see them, at least not now and I hope they did not hear what I just said. Quickly, I took Mira’s arm and walked away to the field.
“You are officially starting training today,” Hawk said “Mira will show you what to do, and then, you wait till you are tagged with some”.
The first face I got to meet is Hawk’s stern that looks as of he would snap me into two in no minutes. I ignored him, walked past him into the changing room, and walked to the kids’ locker. I am not a baby but I am still my size in the kids’ section and that really is horrible.
‘It’s our first official day’ Ashina said sarcastically.
Pfffff!
Changing into comfy shorts and singlets, we didn’t get the best shoes because we had to get pink sneakers which are not our best color. Not like we had any other choice, we did wear it anyway.
‘I can see all eyes on us’ Ashina intoned this time.
Frankly, I can’t get why I feel paranoid like something is watching my every move and is coming to get me.
‘Do you feel watch?” I suddenly asked Mira.
Wearing up, as she calls it, Mira just shrugged and looked around. A small smile spread across her face as she looked back at me.
‘I am sure you know we are outside, Luna’ Mira mind linked me.
Trust me, I felt proud, like a celestial glorified psychopath.
I will take that, I will understand that I am outside and behave like a normal person. So, what I then did was watch others take their turn in fighting with their assigned partners till I get to see Caramel.
Her eyes get stopped at mine for a while before slowly moving Mira and a small smile appeared on her face.
The Gamma, who I am yet to know his name just looked at me for a while and I know what was coming next.
“Next match, Miranda and Caramel!” He yelled.
What? I was expecting myself! And at the same time, I am so grateful that he didn’t call me because I am freaking scared! As scared as Mira whose legs are shaking as she stepped out with Caramel.
‘I am going to be fine’ she mind linked me.
Before I could say anything, I hear Caramel growl softly. A slight smirk appeared in her face as she began to bounce with her gaze at me.
“I won’t kill her” she mouthed.
Without hesitation, I smiled.
“Says the girl that is still healing after I knocked her…”.
Shit! I wasn’t even able to finish when I felt someone pounce on me.
That wasn’t what I expected! Nothing at all!
‘Dang it!’ Ashina gasped ‘I wasn’t expecting that at all.
My face!
I couldn’t feel the left side of my face and I was sure it was swollen already. Moving my tongue around my mouth, I heaved a long sigh of relief as I noticed all my teeth were intact. Who knew of they would ever grow back if I miss one.
That punch wasn’t what I did at expected all. At least, I felt she would be angry and maybe just glare and growl at me but hit me? I have never seen that happen in all the years I have sneaked to watch trainings.
