Blue Moon

CHAPTER TWO

-SHIN RIVAS-

The guy in front of me may be dead by then if eyes could fire daggers. I shouldn't get too excited, though, because I am confident that the jerk sitting across from me on a single sofa would not be affected even if my eyes were to unleash atomic bombs.

I yelled at Raffa as I sat down in a monoblock chair since he was busy staring at me.

We were inside the biggest home in the middle of the compound, and in the living room, where his dumb minions carried me with a force that made me recall what had happened before.

FLASHBACK

"Are you mad woman!" the man next to him reacted instead of Raffa Greyson. He tightened his grasp on my arm and gripped it as if he were aiming to break my bone.

My face distorted in a wince as I shrugged and tried to draw my arm away without success. I snarled back at him, "Don't touch me, you oaf. How does he perceive himself? Does he also want to get slapped? Or perhaps he desires a taste of my fist?

As I examined his tall, muscular frame from head to foot, my blood began to rise to the top of my head. I arched an eyebrow and scoffed. To be fair, he is also extremely attractive and hot. Even more chiseled than Raffa, but that wouldn't stop me.

Finally, the "evil jerk" recovered from his shock and told, "Let her go, Ridge," which relieved the tension in the atmosphere.

Everyone turned their gaze to him, and even I couldn't help but be in awe of his good looks.

'Oh no!' I slowly shook my head and inwardly yelled at myself. 'Shin Rivas, what the hell are you doing? Stop being illogical and despairing. Get your act together! No girl, you couldn't be genuinely enamored of him. You shouldn't fall for his charm since he is the devil in disguise.'

I was berating myself when Raffa moved. To my complete disbelief, he seized the man named Ridge's hand and snatched my arm from him.

The big guy groaned, "Alpha Raf."

Raffa mumbled, "She's mine," with a tone of complete earnestness, which further added to my confusion. However, I instantly jerked my arm back and winced when I felt the peculiar tingling feeling accumulate on my skin once more.

Cuddling my arm, I scoffed at Raffa Greyson, "What the hell! Are you human electricity or something?" For the second time, I could hear gasps in the distance, but I paid them no mind. I then turned my attention back to the group's leader. I kept reinforcing one thing as I got to know him more and more.

Compared to the rest of them, he is more intimidating.

Despite being slimmer than the Ridge guy, he exuded power and superiority. It makes sense why they regarded him as their monarch. As a result, I also observed something else about the neighborhood and its residents. I wasn't entirely sure if it was just my perception, but based on what I saw when they were looking at each other, it appeared as though they were conversing in their minds.

'Is it even conceivable? And hold on a second, did I just hear Raffa tell Ridge that I am his?'

"Harvey, take her into the home." He ordered one of those people he had chosen to be my guard, and I sighed as he did so.

Flashback over

I hummed as I turned back to look at Raffa Greyson. He remained silent and was just observing my every move as if he were possessed. I couldn't help but feel my irritation level up. 'What's his issue? Does he even know that staring is terrible manners?'

Heaving a deep sigh, I ignored his unnerving gaze, "Okay, man, look here."

Even though it felt like he would not listen to what I had to say since he was too preoccupied with melting me with his odd gape, maybe it was time to explain to him 100 times what had happened a week ago. I cleared my throat, gathered all of my patience, and continued speaking.

"You see, what happened last week was just an accident. I was actually on my way to Howling Point to attend my cousin's wedding but had trouble with my car. I looked for help and unintentionally ended up in your place" I took a long deep breath and gave him a puppy look "Would you kindly allow me to leave this place? Allow me to go home, and I swear not to speak a word to anyone!"

Since they had me captive for days, I had been telling them that constantly, but they didn't believe in it. Only if devils had guardian angels would I get Raffa to pay attention to me that time.

They have a decent habitat, to be honest. It was fascinating. with those contemporary homes and little buildings inside. It is like a tiny metropolis tucked away in a remote town. However, I couldn't figure out why they didn't like intruders like me. Were they known to everyone in Howling Valley?

Regarding the compound?

Well, it's no longer my concern. I swear that I would keep quiet if they freed me and let me leave. I wouldn't say anything to anyone else and will keep my lips shut. I then sent Raffa another pleading look, but he continued to study my lovely face as if there were no tomorrow as he had earlier.

I snorted.

What's the—?

Do my words even penetrate his head?

My patience was about to snap but got caught off guard when I noticed the corner of Raffa's lips twitches.

"You want your way out of this place?" he finally spoke.

With a gasp, I nodded immediately. "Yes, pretty please with lots of strawberries on top! Free me! " I think he has realized that I am harmless. And who said that he isn't listening? I grinned broadly and felt a new hope fill my chest.

He stifled, "One month."

A month?

My grin suddenly vanished as I pondered, "One month for what?

He smirked while c*****g his head to one side. "I'll let you leave this place, but not until you live here with me for a month."

My lips split open. "W—what?" My pupils shrunk. What does he mean by saying that I must live with him for a month? Does he mean that it will take me thirty friggin days for him to let go of me?

I puffed in shock. 'Heck!' I should have realized that the obnoxious jerk is a big perv!
