Chapter 5: Three-arrows

3197 Words
I was breathing so loudly when I woke up, and water came out of my mouth. I looked at the man who had a mask on his face. I could see on half of his face that he was staring at me using his icy eyes. When I almost gaze at him for so long, he looks away. He moves closer and gives me a blanket to hide my nakedness. “W-Who are you?” I asked him, and I couldn't stop myself from stammering when he glanced at me. I don't know why I find it attractive in my eyes. “Where is Bryan?” I added, and he glared at me, which made me tremble in fear. Who's this man? He smells lavender, and that's the best scent I have ever smelled. His scent makes me calm, even my wolf. “Is he your boyfriend?” I gasped when I heard his lovely manly voice. I looked down when he caught me staring at his face. This man was like a cold man, and whenever I caught his eyes, I felt great chills in my body. I don't think he ever had any emotion. ‘The Moon Goddess gave us another chance. He's our mate!’ I heard my wolf tell me happily. I felt happy for her, but I don't feel the same way toward our mate. “He's not my boyfriend. I don't even have one.” I explained I didn't want our mate to think that I loved playing with another man. “Good, because I don't think I can handle that my mate has a boyfriend.” My body was shaking when I heard footsteps coming in our direction. I blinked when I remembered that this man kissed me to give me air. I don't need to be embarrassed! “I'm not like that. He's my friend, and I want to know where he is.” “Alpha Axel,” I saw a man bowing his head to the man next to me. Axel? My mate's name was Axel. Okay, I liked his name, and I think it's more stunning than Alpha Tyron. s**t! Why do I need to mention him? “My mate told me that she had a friend. Did you find him?” Alpha Axel's tone was full of irritation, and I don't know why his voice was mad. “I don't even see another man here, even in the cave. I'm done burning the rogues that tried to kill our future Luna.” I was confused when I heard the man inform us. “I am sure that Bryan was here! He's the one who helps me and gives me food.” I insisted, I felt tears forming in my eyes, and after a second, they automatically flowed down my cheeks. “Luna, don't be mad at us. We checked the cave that you're talking about because Alpha Axel smells your scent there. But we don't even find a man, and there are no other things in the cave.” I felt shy when I was acting demanding. “I-I'm sorry if I acted like a b***h in front of you. I'm just worried about my friend.” “You don't need to feel sorry, we will do everything to find your FRIEND.” My forehead ceased when Alpha Axel sarcastically said the word ‘friend’ to me. I even saw the other man stop himself from smiling when Alpha Axel glared at him as if he was giving him a warning that if he continued to laugh at him, he would kill him. “You don't need to be mean when you mention my friend. I am telling you the truth that he's my friend.” “Oh, you're overreacting.” Alpha Axel started walking away from me. I held the blanket tightly because I was scared that it might fall out of my body. I can't believe that those rogues saw my body, and I wish that the other man here didn't even see it too. “Alpha Axel,” I called my mate's name. He stopped but he didn't dare face me. I saw his shoulders moving. “I'm sorry, I don't want to act rude. I forgot that you saved me from drowning.” I felt shy when I remembered the kiss that we shared. Okay, maybe he smelled me that time, so he immediately jumped onto the cliff to save me. “That's nothing. Next time, you should be careful. There are a lot of rogues in the woods.” He cleared his throat, but he coughed in the end. I saw his ears reddening, so I felt guilty that maybe he felt cold like me. I moved toward him, then hugged him using the blanket. I felt his body stiffen at my actions, and I heard the man who was watching us, whistling, then stopping when I heard Alpha Axel threaten him. “W-What are you doing?” He coughed again, and I felt worried that he might have a cold because of saving me. “I think you're sick. I can see your ears reddened, and I think you felt cold. That's why I am sharing the blanket with you.” Alpha Axel uttered more profanities, and I saw his hands turned into a fist. “I can handle myself. You don't need to do that, and let me remind you that you're naked inside of that blanket.” “There's nothing wrong with it, you don't even glance at my body, right?” I know my face flushed in humiliation, I'm just concerned for him, and as a gratitude for saving myself. “And you're my mate. I think you will be more comfortable with me.” The man laughed as if he couldn't stop himself anymore. I furrowed, then I bowed down. “Jake, what's funny? Do you still love yourself?” Alpha Axel growled, which made the man named Jake quickly stop himself from laughing. The corner of my lips rose because I found him amusing. “My apologies, Alpha Axel.” Jake cleared his throat, I saw him pout his lips when he bowed his head. “Let's go. We need to go home before sunset.” I saw another four men, and I think it was Alpha Axel's men. My face is heated when they all see me just wearing a blanket. “A-Alpha Axel,” I called his name, and Alpha Axel didn't say a word, but I think he was listening to me. “I just want to ask when you saved me from drowning. Ah— Please, I want to know if they were with us at that time.” My voice was very low, I wanted to make sure that he was the only one who could hear my inquiries. “Yes, they were with us at that time. What is it?” His answer made my eyes widen and I wish that the ground would swallow me. I felt that I was going to faint, and it was humiliating that all of these men saw my body. ‘Come on, they may see your nakedness, but we're exclusive to our mate.’ My wolf commented, which made me groan more. “Seriously, I thought we were one. But, I think you aren't embarrassed that some men see my body.’ ‘Girl, you don't need to feel shy! Be confident. You're sexy, and I hope that our mate will mark us.” ‘We should know him first. I don't want a bad man to mark me. Come on!’ ‘Aren't you excited that the Moon Goddess gave us another chance? We shouldn't waste this chance if I were you!’ ‘I'm not wasting it, but I want to make sure because it's my future husband we're talking about.’ ‘Come on! Stop being conservative. We're werewolves and, normally, someone might see our bodies.’ ‘Normal for you, but not for me. I swear to myself that my mate was the only one who could see this!’ ‘Oh, crap! You're such a killjoy. Loosened up, I don't want our mate to reject you because he didn't find you interesting.’ ‘Shut up.’ “Hey, I am talking to you.” I was shocked when I saw Alpha Axel's face near me. I bit my lips, and I panicked when he looked down at my body. “s**t. I don't need a blanket. Please, cover your body. I don't want them to see what I am.” “But you told me that they were all here when you saved me. So maybe they saw my body.” Alpha Axel's half-face darkened, and I found it more interesting that he needed to cover half of his face. “They are not. I didn't even allow them to peek at your back that time.” “Are you telling me the truth, Alpha Axel?” He aggressively nodded his head, and removed the blanket carefully from his body, then covered it with my body. “I don't like it when you keep asking me,” he commented before he turned his back to me. So, I quickly picked up a small stone and threw it on his back. “Don't you dare turn your back on me when I'm talking to you?” I shouted in madness. Alpha Axel glared at me, then his breathing became heavy. He walked so fast back at me, which made my eyes expand in fear. “Oh— Oh!” I heard the other men say, then they were all panicked when Alpha Axel gave me a murderous gaze. “How dare you talk to me like that? I am an Alpha, you dared to act like that.” My heart clenched in so much pain, and my wolf was howling in discomfort. I blinked my eyes when I felt tears forming in my eyes. How dare he yell at me, too? Does he think that I will totally accept him because he was an Alpha? I am the Alpha's daughter too, and we're both at the same rank! “Alpha Axel, you don't need to treat your mate like that. She was scared!” Jake butt in, so Alpha Axel went to him and then grabbed his neck. Jake didn't even avoid his eyes, and his face was calm even though it was slowly getting red. Alpha Axel's eyes reddened, and I noticed that his veins were too obvious on his forehead. “Stop it, Alpha Axel!” I angrily screamed. How dare he choke someone in front of me? “Please, Luna, don't make Alpha Axel get furious. Don't worry about Jake, he's alright.” I felt disappointed that it looked like my mate always did this to his companion. I can't believe that I was bonded to a jerk and heartless man in this world. “Are you freaking serious? Your Alpha might kill him, and you won't all do anything to stop him! I can't believe that I was mated to someone like you!” Alpha Axel stopped choking Jake, then he took a glance in my direction. “What did you say?” “I'm gonna reject you! I hate someone who doesn't even respect his companion. I don't care if you're an Alpha.” “Don't you dare, or else, I will force you to be my Luna!” Alpha Axel roared as if he wanted to murder me for threatening him. I ran toward the end of the cliff and smirked at him. I saw his face panicked, and even his co-workers started stopping me from what I was planning. I looked down, and I saw the heavy waves of the water. I slowly gulped, when I felt scared that I would fall again. “You're my second chance mate, and I'd rather kill myself than be with you for the rest of my—” “s**t! Don't you dare!” Alpha Axel slowly moved near me, and I saw his eyes were full of worry that I might jump for real. “You're such a jerk! I hate an asshole like you!” I added, and I stepped back when I saw him trying to grab me. I held the blanket tightly, and my legs trembled when I saw the end of the cliff. “Woman, once I get you, I will do everything to cage you in my pack.” I raised my eyebrows at him and then scoffed at him. “And, I am serious!” he added. “I'm serious too, jerk! Did you think that I would kneel at you because you're an Alpha? Damn you!” My throat hurt, and when I saw Alpha, Axel tried his best to grab me again. I jumped off the cliff, and I felt the splash of the water. I heard them panic, and Alpha Axel started cussing, and I felt terrified that he might catch me because he swore that once he located me, he would spank my butt. I swam when I saw Alpha Axel jump onto the cliff too, with his companions. I swam so fast, to prevent him from catching me. I gasped when I felt I was out of breath, and I felt the blanket was about to fall off my body. s**t! Not this time! “f**k! Find her, she's my mate!” Alpha Axel's voice cracked and the waves started to be forceful. I went down deep into the water, and when I reached the rock part of the ocean. I hide it. I fixed the blanket when I saw my n*****s starting to show. I was trembling in the cold, and I tried to run away to the ocean. I heard their footsteps, and when I saw the cave that I slept in, I got my clothes so fast. I was about to run when I saw Bryan's key so I picked it up and ran away from my mate. “LUNA!” Jake shouted, as if I was going to expose myself if he was the one who would shout. But, their screams make the rogues find them. I climbed the tree so fast and hid in the branches. I almost stopped breathing when I saw them near me. Alpha Axel and Jake went towards the cave and checked if I was hiding inside of it. I saw Alpha Axel take the blanket that I used. He turned his eyes in every direction and he threw the blanket when he didn't even see me. “She's near to us. We need to find her as soon as possible.” “TSS. I told you that you should calm down. If she rejects you, I don't know anymore.” Jake said, and I didn't even discern my mate's reaction, but I think he was mad because Jake raised his hands in the air. My forehead ceased when the rogues rushed in their direction. I heard them say the word ‘rogues’ and they got ready. “s**t! Rogues!!” Jake screamed so loudly, a lot of rogues attacked them. But, I was amazed when Alpha Axel easily killed them using his hands. Jake groaned when he noticed that more rogues were rushing to their position. My heart was beating too fast, and I felt anxious that something bad might happen to my mate. Even though he was an asshole when it came to his companions, he was very caring about me. “Oh, f**k!” Alpha Axel groaned when ten rogues attacked him at the same time. The rogues want them dead as if they were making sure that they are gonna die. I blinked when I saw a red transparent shadow in every rogue. What is the meaning of this? It seemed that someone was controlling them. This is what my father wants me to hide, that I can see everything. It all started when I was right, and he made me a promise that I wouldn't tell anyone about it or even Sara. “s**t! Why were they all like that? Are they immortals?” I heard Jake inquire and I saw that he had a big scratch on his hands. Immortals? I don't think so. If they're immortal, all of the rogues that they killed will be alive, but they aren't. Someone was controlling them, and I needed to find them. I saw the Alpha Axel man, who had an arrow, and I think I needed to get it. A pair of rogues were going to assault Alpha Axel without his notice, so I jumped toward the rogues and grabbed them. I felt my body spinning and the rogues trying to restrain me with my grasp. “s**t! She's cool!” “Shut up, she's my mate!” “She is our Luna. Don't be selfish, Alpha Axel!” Alpha Axel roared in jealousy, and he easily lashed the throat of the rogue that he was holding. I looked in every direction, and I saw the red rays coming toward the tallest tree. “Gotcha!” I ran to the man who had an arrow in his back and snatched it from him. The man's eyes widened in disbelief. “Hey! That's mine!” He complained, and I heard Jake's laugh. “What are you doing? They will kill you!” Alpha Axel held my hand to stop me. “You will all waste your energy fighting those rogues. Someone was controlling them.” I stated. Alpha Axel nodded, and my heart softened when he believed in me so fast. “Okay. What are you planning?” “We need to find who was controlling them. That's why this rogue was more aggressive than the others. I don't even see their emotions, and their minds are blank.” “What? How did you know about that?” “I'm not weak, Alpha Axel. I know a lot of things.” I left him and went to the tree where I could hide again. I pointed to the three arrows at the end of the red rays. I felt the energy going to the arrows and within seconds the arrows went to the end of the red rays. And it's a miracle that the rogues automatically lay down on the ground, which makes Jake shout in disbelief. “How is that possible?” He asked, so I jumped in front of them and took a bow on my back. “You're the one who did that? Wow!” Jake added, but I shrieked when the two men grabbed me. I saw Alpha Axel grin at me, and then he lifted me like a sack. s**t! “Gotcha!” Alpha Axel spanked my butt, which made me feel humiliated more. “Luna, we're still thankful that you helped us. You're cool, but we still remember your little stunts.” “s**t! Ahh— put me down.” I was about to punch Alpha Axel's back when I felt a little pain in my neck, which made me feel asleep.
