Blue Moon

CHAPTER EIGHT

-SHIN-

Sunlight glints touched my face as I opened my eyes. I instantly stood up and noted that it was already morning.

Wait. I blinked in astonishment as my jaw dropped. 'How did I end up in Raffa's room? It isn't the room where they kept me for seven days; according to the jerk's photo on the wall, it belongs to Raffa Greyson. I also noticed that I was lying on his soft mattress and, holy crap! Have I slept there?

I looked in the mirror and gasped when I saw that I was donning an old, pale yellow nightgown.

"What the hell! Who the fudge changed my clothes?" I attempted to remember what had happened the previous night, but my brain was still dozing off since all I could make out in the back of my skull was fog and hazy images. I snickered, shook my head, and then three times tapped my temple. "Wake up, brainy!" grumbled out of frustration. I was talking to myself when the door on the east side of the room burst open, making me jump in shock.

Oh, holly mushroom!

I turned to face the visitor and jerked my neck, only to scoff in disgust when I recognized Raffa Greyson. My eyes scanned his entire form and I decided against barking at him. He was topless and sporting a pair of white jersey shorts while water dripped down his toned, gorgeously lean body. I forced a firm swallow as my throat became dry. I had no idea he has the alluring frame and abs I prefer in a man.

It almost made me whistle and made my mouth moist. However, when Raffa turned to face me and saw me eyeing him, my whole face turned a deep shade of red.

Well, duh, he's undeniably attractive, hot, and pretty delicious-looking. "Can I have this dude instead of breakfast?" I said something under my uneven breathing.

"You want to eat me?" with a wide grin, Raffa asked while gripping a towel across his shoulders and crossing his arms over his chest.

Thinking I was just talking in my head, my jaw dropped in embarrassment when I realized I voiced those words out. "What the F! He heard me? And what does he mean I want to eat him? What a naughty idea is that, huh?" Perhaps it was only a dream therefore I kept on talking.

"I'm delighted to hear that you're enjoying the view, Ms. Rivas," he responded to my queries once again, and I became aware that I was awake and not dreaming.

"Because you're just so yummy!" I blurted out but as soon as my words had a chance to register in my head, my red face turned purple. "Oh, no way in hell! I didn't say anything!" I covered my entire body with the blanket out of sheer humiliation. "I'm only daydreaming! I'm not... I don't... Oh my god!"

"Hell, Shin Rivas, you're an epic!" Raffa laughed loudly, filling the entire room."

Felt like I was about to choke, and a throaty groan escaped my lips. “Ugh! Please kill me now! ”

-THIRD POV-

Raffa had already left the room when Shin moved from under the blanket. With one silly grin on his lips, he strolled out, reminding her that it was already time for breakfast.

"Am I yummy?" Raffa was in disbelief that Shin thought that about him, and Rachet disturbed him once more as a result. “Mark her!"

He let out a long sigh. He wouldn't allow his inner wolf to take control and treat their partner however he pleased. It's still too soon. "When the timing is right, Rachet"

Rachet snorted and went silent.

"We need you here in the south, Alpha Raffa." Raffa was startled to hear the voice of one of the trackers—Hayne—in his head: "We captured a rogue entering our boundary."

"Damn it!" he exclaimed, clenching his jaw. "Harley, you up?" he connected his mind link to their gamma.

Harley replied immediately, "I'm in the gym with Beta Ridge, alpha,"

"Tell Ridge to follow me to the south and keep an eye on Shin!"

"Copy that, alpha."

While being questioned by the trackers at the border, the female rogue shot Hayne and Warren stern stares.

"Why aren't you paying attention? You are intruding on our property, and we just want to know why. Where is your gang?" Warren sneered at the rebel.

The she-rogue struggled to get away from the arms that were holding her, but she was unable to do so due to her weakness in comparison to them, which made her furious.

"You fools; I am here to meet your alpha!"

When Raffa and Ridge in their wolf forms eventually showed up, they grabbed the attention of Warren and Hayne, who had scowled and were about to question her once again. The alpha and beta changed into human form and went for the emergency shorts that were hidden behind the trees.

"You dare to breach our border, rogue,"

Raffa growled in a strong voice that easily terrified the rebel.

The uninvited intruder, however, kept her composure without any trouble, and she then grinned. As she turned her neck toward the bushes not far from them, the fear that had been in her eyes vanished.

“f**k!" Ridge uttered as noises were heard coming from behind the tall grass.

“Ambush! "Warren grumbled, alerting the pack warriors, and as soon as he spoke out, a band of rogues charged them from behind the bushes.

Raffa roared, “Bastards! He instantly moved, leaped into the air, transformed back into a wolf, and then all hell broke loose.

PACKHOUSE

Shin's guard was following her around the house like a hound at that exact moment, and she lost her patience. "What!" she yelled at him.

Harvey's single shrug of the shoulders made her annoyed more as she walked by him indignantly and descended to the dining area on the first level to eat breakfast, but she suddenly stopped in the middle of the staircase when she noticed two girls going up.

"Good day, Miss Rivas!" Girl number one greeted her and stated, "We're pleased that you're finally awake.

Shin blinked and got lost in thought because she recognized her voice.

"When we discovered you unconscious in one of the upper rooms, we were concerned. Are you ok? Did you see anything last night or... " Girl number two's words were cut off as Shin coughed and pointed at them.

"I can recall that now!"

Her memories from yesterday night came flooding back and her eyes widened.

Yes, she saw them last night. She saw them turn into wolves!
