Narah: His Ninetail In Disguise

Chapter 4

(Tristan POV)

I took off my wet shirt and threw it in the hamper. I could see light bruises in my arm but I didn’t care as it will heal within a day.

I had dreamed to have a mate for so long. I have watched many of my family and friends find their mate and live happily but I was always alone. I have searched the entire earth but who knew she would be someone in a different dimension.

The first time I saw her, I wanted to jump and claim her then and there. She was beautiful with her long luscious blonde hair and red rosy skin. I wanted to be the wild predator I am by attacking and claiming her then and there.

But I knew it was something out of option. I was in another kingdom and I don’t want to cause trouble.

At first glance, I knew she was different. At first, she was shocked to see me, but it slowly turned to fear and then an emotionless look. My only aim was to bring her to my land so I can properly court her.

She has her guard up, being very cautious around me. Maybe because we both lived in different environments. But I am sure we will surely be comfortable with each other.

I had a meeting in the morning so I decided to bring her to my guest house. I wanted to be there in my territory so she won't feel uncomfortable directly entering my land.

It’s almost a 2 hour drive to home and this house is just 15 minutes.

I built this house to rest in case my work finishes late and I am too tired to go home which means I am here almost every night.

I haven’t told anyone in my territory about her. Well except for my family. I wanted her to first get comfortable.

For now, all they know is that a foreign shifter is coming to stay in the territory as the King's special guest.

I changed into another set of clothes and threw my dirty clothes into the hamper before walking downstairs.

My brother was in the kitchen making coffee.

"Are you ok?" He looked at me worriedly.

"I am fine. Where is Narah?" I asked as I sat at the dinner table.

"Taking a shower." he gave me a cup of coffee before sitting on the table. "She doesn’t know how to use a shower"

I raised one of my eyebrows as he said this.

"She asked me where the bathtub is. When I showed her she asked why it is so small"

I spit on my coffee laughing. Of course, she will ask that.

They don’t use showers.

All her life she bathed in a luxurious huge bathtub, maybe even with the help of servants.

"It will take time for her to adjust to our world. Her world is magically advanced but ours is technology. She will find many things difficult but with our help, I am sure it won't be hard" I smiled at my brother who let out a sigh.

"I hope so"

After that Malcolm went to his guest house. It was located half an hour away from me. While I prefer to stay in a house, he prefers penthouses.

I decided to do some work while waiting for her.

An hour later I heard the door to her room open. I glanced at the empty stairs before looking back to my computer. I pretend I was busy working.

I was listening to her footsteps as she walked closer to the steps. Taking a few steps down the stair, the footsteps stopped.

I didn’t know what she was doing. I wanted to act unbothered but I guess I failed in that.

I turned and looked at her.

My heart just skipped a beat.

She wore a dark cream almost skin color full sleeve dress. Her hair was wet and left loose to let it dry off naturally.

She didn’t wear any makeup but her face was perfectly tinted with her natural blush.

"Do you want some coffee?" I offered as she continued to walk down the stairs.

"What is a coffee?" she asked making me smile.

I walked to the coffeemaker and poured the rest of the coffee into a mug before giving it to her.

"Taste it," I said before taking a sip from my own coffee. She looked at the mug skeptically.

She sniffed the content and frowned before drinking it. Once she took a sip, she gulped it before making a face.

"Yuck!" she said before putting the mug on the table. "What is that disgusting thing?"

"It’s coffee. Something everyone drinks for energy."

"I don’t like it"

"Suites yourself" I shrugged before taking her mug. "We will be leaving in 15 minutes. It's already 6 pm. We have to reach there before dinner time" I said making her sigh.

"Whatever"

When she saw the car, she was cautious.

"Whoa. What is that?" she said as she examined it.

"A car. Come on. Get in" I said as I opened the door for her.

She looked surprised as she looked at the door and then inside the car.

"Get in there?" she asked pointing to the seat as I nod. I let her take her own time.

It was dam n sure it was her first time seeing a car.

Slowly she walked closer. She touched and knocked on the car before putting her head inside and looking around.

"It won't hurt you. Don’t worry" I said enjoying her expressions.

She then started to climb into the seat.

Literally!

She puts her knees on the seat and moved towards the driver's seat.

"No no no," I said grabbing her arms.

Sparks engulfed the two of us and she froze. She quickly got out of the car forcefully freeing her hands from my hold before glaring.

"I am sorry but you were doing it wrong. Watch me" I said before getting in the car properly.

"See? It's simple. This is how you enter the car" I said getting out.

Once she was successfully inside the car, I closed the door before walking to the other side.

I heard her shout but I didn't mind much. Maybe she was excited.

 But that thought was paused as I heard a loud sound. In a split moment, I saw my door flying in the air.

"What the f**k!" I shouted running to her side. Almost immediately she jumped out of the car, landing in of me.

Her eyes were glowing and she had a ball of blue energy in her hand.

"What were you trying to do?! Imprison me? Forcefully take me as your mate?! Give me one good reason why I should refrain from blasting your head to pieces" she growled at me.

"What?! If anything I should be the furious one! You blasted my car door!" I shouted back. She frowned for a moment before growling.

"You tried to imprison me in that thing!"  

A part of me was broken. Who am I kidding? The whole of me was broken.

Not only because she isn’t hesitant to kill her mate but also for the fact that she actually thought I will do such a thing. I will never hurt her!

"Narah, calm down. I will never hurt you. You are my mate" I said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

She kept staring at me, her mind probably debating to let me go or not.

"Narah, I will never ever hurt my mate. Besides, do you really think I will harm you and cause an unnecessary war with your world?"

She stared at me for a few more seconds before sighing and backing off.

She took a step away from me still being in defense mode.

"Don’t be like that. You are really making things difficult. Just trust a little in your mate" I said before pointing at the car.

"This is a car. Not a prison or any other thing that harms you." I explained to her how I was just walking to the driver's side. I told her what a car is and why we use it in our world.

She was quiet as she listened to everything I said.

After I was done explaining she looked at the door and then the car. I watched with a raised eyebrow as she walked to the car door. She tried to lift it.

"What are you doing?" I asked pretty shocked at her strength. Although the door was too big for her petite size, she was able to lift the door with small effort.

"Trying to fix it?" she said with more of a question.

"No," I said as I took the deformed door from her hand before slowly placing it on the ground. "There is nothing you can do. It's completely damaged" I said before taking out my phone.

I can't call Malcolm since he had gone for a business dinner. My only other option was my youngest brother Samuel.

It took a while but in the end, he answered my call.

"Yes?" he sounded irritated. From the loud music in the background, I knew he was in some nightclub.

"Come to my house. I need your car"

"What happened to yours?" he asked making me growl.

"You will see what happened when you come here," I said before hanging up.

I looked at Narah who was standing there silently.

"Hey, it's ok. It's just a reflex" I tried to talk to her. But she just ignored me.

I sighed before looking back at my phone.

Why is she being so difficult? I am trying my best here…

10 minutes later my brother came.

"Dude….. What the f**k happened?!" he asked. He gawked at the doorless car and then at me. "You guys weren’t attacked or anything right?"

I shook my head a no before explaining everything to him.

He looked at my mate in shock.

"I didn't know, ok! He suddenly left me in that…. Car and went away. I thought some kind of human prison!"

She looked cute pouting while she tried to justify herself.

"I know I know. I told you it's alright" I said before turning to my brother.

"Take the car to mechanics. For now, give me your car. You can come back tomorrow with Malcolm" I said as he looked at me like I grew three heads.

"What? No. f*****g. Way. I am not going to give you my baby. I don’t want to see my door or any other parts of my car 'dismembered'"

I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness.

"Don't joke and f*****g give me your car, Samuel! I will make sure nothing happens to your precious"

"Yeah right. You were there when she broke that" he sassed pointing at the destroyed door.

But in the end, he gave me the keys.

"If anything happens to it, you will have to buy me a new precious" he grinned as he threw me his car keys before getting on my car and driving away.

I unlocked Samuel's car and looked at Narah.

"Please don’t wreak this car. This was just brought last week and I don’t want to buy him a new one"
