RECOMMENDED SONG: Everything I wanted By Billie Eilish
_TREVISAN MANSION_
Inside the mansion, an awkward atmosphere continued going on as Beta Celeb shrieked in a corner astounding eventually. His poker faced Alpha was now drawing a picture seriously. His brows were tightened into a tight frown as he appeared dissatisfied with his own drawing skills. After leaving so much scratches over the paper, he gritted his teeth harder and roared impatiently,
" Shit! I should have improved on my drawing skills. Now what to do?"
Celeb watched the man dumbfounding quitely as his brain couldn't register the thoughts that he was mumbled on. Last night, after the Alpha was punished terribly and was left in his area, Celeb went on sleeping profoundly. But his beauty sleep didn't last any longer as Damien summoned him at midnight. He thought that something urgent had cropped up and immediately ran away over to him.
But it was his own foolish assumption!
Since last night, his alpha was trying hard to draw a picture which didn't meet his expectations till morning. He continued drawing and made Celeb awating at a corner. Damien couldn't wait to finish it off fast as he was determined to aim his goal. Till now, he didn't let Celeb see what he was drawing on.
Celeb as his obedient slave didn't dare to make a move as he was well aware of Damien's tempter. He could be your savior or your death in a word.
After giving it a last touch up, Damien reluctantly clipped off his drawing and gazed at Celeb coldly. He could see through the eager impatience in Celeb's eyes thus he didn't hide from him anymore.
Damien threw the paper work on his way before leaning against his ratten chair. Celeb who immediately attempted to clutch the paperwork finally moved from his spot. His soul nearly left his body when he nearly failed to clasp the paperwork.
With a great mysterious mind, Celeb unfolded the paperwork slowly before turning frozen in his spot. His jaws dropped before widening his eyes disbelievingly.
He blinked before inspecting the artwork deeply. It was the face of a woman lying under a tree closing her eyes off in the shut. Even from his poor drawing, Celeb could predict that the woman was exceptionally beautiful. But the troublesome part was that it was impossible to decipher her exact facial appearance because of his poor drawing skills.
With a curiousity like a mountain, Celeb looked up at his Alpha questioning who was playing with a paper wet in his hand. Damien even didn't bother looking up at his way and spitting out two brief words,
" Find her! "
Celeb wanted to cry badly but he had no tears.
How could he find a woman from this poor drawing?
He wanted to protest his words badly but Damien's sharp words quickly slapped on his face thunderously,
" Find her from anywhere! "
Celeb swallowed back his prepared words and looked through Damien's expression deeply. He had never seen Damien ordering to find a woman so far. From his deep observant face, Celeb could vaguely sense the importance of this woman in Damien's mind.
Celeb's wolf eyes suddenly sparked up as his mind went overjoyed.
Did they finally get Luna? But how could Damien accept her without a mate bond?
Whatever the circumstances were, Celeb was too happy to express his inner joy and continued pondering at his own spot. The man on the chair glanced up at his bewildering expression and narrowed his gaze further.
With a bang, the paperweight was thrown in front of Celeb's feet as he jolted before coming back to his senses quickly. Damien pursued his lips together as his cold tongue buzzed across the empty space,
" Find her within three days, Celeb or else present yourselves towards my Vampire pets."
Celeb's mouth immediately agaped in fear as he quickly scurried away out of his room after clasping the raw drawing pretty hard.
The light of Damien's red eyes dimmed a little as he hauled up lazily from his chair. Walking beside the transparent window that had branches spreaded on, his gaze looked deep through the jungle stopping over the wild river behind.
No one knew what he was thinking but his heart was never at ease after last night.
•••••••••••••••••••
Birds squawked in fear and took off as a running wolf entered into the dense forest. A brown wolf ran wildly tumbling over the raw leaves, broken staff and hard pebbles carelessly. His brown eyes had a determination to win this race thus his surroundings were non existent inside his mind. His sharp cannies like daggers were hanging outside that reflexed his cruelty very solely.Comparing to his serious demonic presence, the girl running with his same pace seemed lively as her loud laughter buzzed across the branches of the empty forest.
She had no determination to win this race but watching the wolf's cloudy face gave her quite joy.
As the two running figures sped away through the amidst trees at the speed of light, the other animals didn't dare to trespass them. They knew clearly who they were. When the woman once more laughed victoriously,the brown wolf beside her snarled angrily and took another large jump ahead.
His claws left remarkable spots over the ground as he continued running desperately. Unfortunately no matter how long he jumped or ran, his paces couldn't match with the running girl beside her. She was running like a wild horse as her messy hairs flowed up in the air.
After a long exhausted race, their run had come to an end at the near end of Rainkam Mountain. The river roared rhythmically as it continued passing by under the edge of the mountain. Though the sun was up in the sky, the weather here had always been a little stiff and cloudy. Rain occasionally made its appearance without any prior notice and ravished its blessing over the trees.
Viona laughed once again as her upper body leant down in exhaustion. Placing her hands on her knees, she turned her face around to see the wolf who had already turned into a human form.
Viona chuckled mockingly as she saw his brother walking over to her gloomily. Letting out a long sigh, she faced the cool breeze peacefully and mocked her brother,
" Oh Brian, you should stop competing with me for god's sake. You never win but still insist on running this race."
Brain puffed his cheeks angrily and barked,
" Huuh. Let's have a fair competition tomorrow again. I was distracted today."
Viona rolled her eyes sarcastically and answered while trying to fix her messy hair,
" Oh come on, this would be the hundredth time that you are repeating this same phrase. Whatever, I never turn down your request, you know. Let's have a race again tomorrow and we will continue running until you win."
Viona spoke before shooting her brother with a warm glare who was unhappy about his loss. Instead of being happy, Brian gave her a deep glare that held the deep affection towards this sister who never showed off her own powers over him. Even though she knew that she was far more superior in powers than him, she never boasted in front of him. This little gesture from her really touched the core of his heart always. He knew that no matter what lies between them, Viona would always come in first to abduct him from any dangers.
Brian gave out a long breath as his brown eyes met her golden one. Smiling warmly, Brian suddenly changed the topic of their conversation and said,
" Then.. Should I hope that my sister will hear my every request?"
Viona nodded her head positively and failed to notice the mystery behind his tongue and enjoyed the gush of cold breeze blowing through her face calmly.
Brian's face immediately lit up in happiness and siezed this opportunity to bargain with her,
" Then I want you to join the next mate ball Viona, will you?"
Almost instantly, the happiness from her face faded away and was replaced with darkness. Her eyes quivered a little before shooting his brother a death glare. Pursuing her lips together in anger, she only spat out his name harshly,
" Brian!!!! "
Brian jolted when he looked through the fury in her eyes. Mustering up the courage once again, he rebuked logically,
" You said that you will fulfill my request,Vi. I never forced you, did I? But I can't tolerate the gossip revolving around you anymore. Have you seen the way other pack members look at you? They might not dare to spit out anything in front of us but they laugh at themselves secretly, Viona. Above all, a mate is something that we can't deny. We are born with this destiny. Please Vi, just join this year. At least for me."
The rage inside her melted like water as soon as she met Brian's concerned eyes. She knew that Brian had always supported her unruly character and never showed any disgust like her own father. She could be against her own father but Brian and Steven were her weak spots.
After nudging her bottom lips gently, she squeezed her eyes shut tightly and inhaled a deep breath to shut down the vague memories that kept huanting her thoughts relentlessly.
After a lot of inner battles, Viona responded like a whisper,
" All right. Just this one. After this mate ball, you will never ask me to join Brian."
