Chapter 90
“I met her back at Ruby Stone’s pack for the two moon’s festival.” Koan admitted, his posture calm and compused, chin up, hands face-palmed beside his waist, back straight, his legs crossed atop the car he sat on while Raiden sat beside him, his legs down the car.
“How come you two forgot about each other p>
“It was a short encounter and I wasn’t aiming to remember her,” Koan smiled. It was small and bitter and his jaw ticked with frustration. “Who would have known we’d cross paths again but In a more complicated way p>
“What happened p>
After Alpha Kenry told his daughter off, Nancy ran out on the guests, bawling her eyes out.
The Alpha, well self-esteemed man did not make her his priorities and instead focused on the mess she had laid ahead of his plans.
While he ordered the Omegas to begin a thorough cleaning of the dining room, the guests went upstairs.
Lizzy stopped Alpha Koan on his way; upstairs with his father.
“Follow her and check if she’s alright p>
“Who p>
“The Alpha’s daughter. She left some minutes ago and she’s not yet back. Just check if she’s alright p>
Koan snorted arrogantly.
“What makes you think I care aunt p>
“Because she might DO something to herself p>
“She’s an adult. I’m sure she can take care of herself wherever she is p>
“Koan Matthew McConner p>
Kaon glances around and gritted his teeth when he noticed the Omegas were hiding smiles behind their hands. He glared at his aunty.
“Aunt p>
Lizzy pointed In the direction where Nancy had run off to.
“Do as I say Koan or I’ll do more than just calling your full name p>
Kaon sighed, visibly not happy with the recent development of movements but he couldn’t disobey his aunt.
Sighing again while running his hand through his signature disheveled hair, he ran out the back.
After roaming around the huge compound for a some minutes, he heard soft sobs coming several meters away.
He followed the sound and paused on the sight.
A slender girl of no more than 12 years old was sitting Infront of a swimming pool, knees hunched up to her chin, arms wrapped around her legs as she stared into the water.
The night breeze swished her bright blue hair to and fro. It was long and cascaded down to her back.
For a while, he just stood far of, watching as she stayed in that same posture, sobbing quietly.
After some time, he shrugged and joined her, quietly sitting beside her, pulling his knees up to his chin as well, in the same posture as she was in.
He didn’t look at her again and focused his gaze on the water which reflected the bright stars shining up ahead and the two moons.
One of Ruby Stone’s pack and the other, Crescent Moon’s pack.
Two moon’s ceremony was an occasion between two packs when their moons appeared close to each other on the same night. A meeting deciding which pack was going to be used as the venue of celebratiom was concluded with the two Alphas having the final say and conclusion.
The occasion was important and lots of people from the two packs were elated to
participate in the occasion because this meant that the Moon goddess, Selena, was planning on uniting two special persons from each pack as mates whether they weren’t of the age or not.
Nancy wiped her tears when she noticed another prescence beside her and cautiously turned, letting her legs drop down to the water.
Koan was looking ahead now, tired of seeing the water below them turn to ripples when her tears hit them but when he felt his gaze on her, he made a mistaken of turning and locking eyes with the brightest odd colored eyes he had ever seen.
For a full minute, they just sat side by side, staring at each other, one in surprise, one, curious.
Slowly he wrapped his arms around his hunched up knees and turned away from her.
“Aren’t you too young to be putting on contact lenses p>
“Huh? I’m not… wearing contact lenses p>
He blinked and looked at her again, Not aware of how much eefect he was having on her by gazing deep into her eyes with his metallic blue ones.
She blushed and looked away, shyly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear when he wouldn’t stop scrutinizing her.
“So,” Koan made to get up. “I was following orders to make sure you were… Okay. I better get going p>
Nancy suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him down with such a remarkably stronng force that he stared at her in shock, jaw almost touching the floor.
The strength she just exerted right now was in contrast to the meek pleading look in her huge eyes.
“Can you just stay a little while with me p>
Koan’s gaze was lost in hers for the nth time and this time, it was coupled with the thoughts of fluffy rabbits. He suddenly shook his head vigorously, as if to ascertain the thoughts weren’t his.
“What? Do you have something to say p>
“I just… want some company p>
“Well, there’s a huge ceremony Tonight. Surely, your friends must have attended it. Go to them for company p>
Nancy suddenly looked down, legs splashing softly in the water as she twirled her fingers around one another.
“I… I don’t have friends p>
Kaom snorted.
“That makes two of us p>
She turned to him with huge looking eyes.
“Could you… stop looking at me like p>
“Really p>
Koan sighed warily.
“Really what p>
“You said ’That makes two of us’. That means You don’t have friends p>
“Yeah. Is that a problem p>
“N-No,” She vigorously shook her head, getting overly excited. “But… but I was wondering if we could be friends then p>
“Why p>
“B… because I don’t have friends too p>
“You don’t know me and I don’t know you. So what type of friendship are you proposing p>
“I know you’re Alpha Chad’s son of Crescent Moon’s pack p>
“So? I know you’re Alpha Henry’s daughter of Ruby Stone’s pack but that’s not enough reason for us to be friends p>
“Then let’s just get to know each other p>
“No p>
“Please p>
“No p>
“P p>
“I don’t have time for this. I came to carry out an order and that’s what I did p>
He tried to stand but she pulled him down in the same way again. He glared at her, flushed in anger and embrassment.
“How do you keep doing that p>
She blinked innocently at him.
He suddenly grabbed her arms and unknowingly yanked her close, placing his feet into the water as he scrutinized her arms.
“What do you have here? Muscles p>
She froze, lips parted in shock when she realized just how close their lips were to meet. She didn’t even feel the hot touch of his hand against her bare skin as he scrutinized her arm and only did when she looked up.
Their lips suddenly brushed against each other.
Reflexively, he pushed her away and she fell back, staring at him in shock as he got up.
“Why does everyone I meet always seem to hate me. Even my dad hates me. Why She yelled at him, sobbing hard, as he walked away from her, fast.
He stopped but didn’t dare to turn.
“Maybe if you’d stop acting like a child all the time, then maybe people will find a reason to love you p>
