Lina's POV
"Hell! What are you doing to me, Lina!" He whispers with a smile.
My heart starts to explode. The words might sound simple.. but he saying it right after he kissed me, these sparks, his touch.. everything is only high lightening every single word.
"I-I .." I stutter to tell him that I love him but he closes my lips with his again.
He loosely grabs my hair with one hand and his other hand placed on my stomach. He gently starts pushing me back till my back is met with a wall. I take the support of wall as his hand moves from my stomach to my waist.
I feel myself shuddering just under his touch.
"I was never this way. This is what you do to me" he whispers and trails his kisses to my neck.
His grip in my hair tightens and my head falls back only giving him more access to my neck. He sucks on my skin and I am sure he is already starting to leave hickeys.
But who cares?
I trail my right hand on his chest and my other still resting on his back holding his shirt tight.
His lips continue the assault on my neck and I take my time to slip my hand underneath his shirt. The moment my hand touches his bare skin, he shivers visibly. I smile to myself.
I run my hand up and up until it sat on his chest. I feel his soft skin under my hand and his rock hard muscle underneath.
I cannot believe he is all mine.
One kiss on my shoulder and he stops the sweet assault again. I open my eyes and look at him. His eyes are now pale brown coloured and I freak out a minute.
I push him away and my eyes go wide. His eye colour.! I remember his eyes were black.
"What are-"
"Y-your eye colour!!!" I freak out again.
"Are they brown now?" He asks, his own set of eyes wide again.
I nod. The palest version of brown. I haven't seen such anywhere! I look at Donovan who stands there frozen. He doesn't even blink his eyes.
For the first time, I wish Gerald was here right now. Because this s**t is scary.!
"D-Dono van ?" My voice is barely a whisper at the moment.
He doesn't look at me.
"Donovan!!!" I shout at top of my lungs and I did not expect Gerald to stand before me.
Not just before me but in between Donovan and I. Gerald's front towards me and back towards Donovan.
"What happened? Are you okay?" He asks.
"He... He.. eyes" I say in broken sentences and Gerald turns around.
I see he goes rigid as well. What? What's wrong with Donovan.? Now I am seriously frightened. I don't even know the way back to my pack!
"He is emotional" Gerald whispers.
"Emotional?" I whisper back.
"Yeah. Donovan's eyes. They turn sand coloured" Gerald says.
I don't understand if I need to feel relieved that Donovan is just emotional or freak out why he went emotional during our makeout session or if I should laugh at the way Gerald described Donovan's eyes as sand coloured!
I look at Donovan and his eyes slowly start turning black again. He then looks at me. I see his jaw clench and Donovan just leaves.
I try to follow Donovan but Gerald stops me by blocking my way. I just glare at him but he looks like he is in no mood to take s**t!
"Leave him alone for now. He'll come around" Gerald whispers.
"What do you mean by it?" I ask him.
"This is something that happens only to Donovan. His eyes change colour when he gets emotional. And the last time this happened was when his mother passed away" Gerald says.
My eyes go wide.
"How old was Donovan then?" I ask him.
"42 or something? We were just becoming friends then. I freaked out then too" he says.
Donovan lost his mother when he was 42. And now he is 853 year old. My heart aches. For how long has he been alone here? Did anyone even support him?
"His father?" I ask Gerald.
"Well, we are all children of Demon and human parents. His father is a demon. He lives in hell. The saddest part is even Donovan doesn't know who his father is!" Gerald says.
And my heart aches a little more. Donovan needs all the love ever existed. But the fact that he spent centuries all alone.. that also explains why he feel so attached to snow. Maybe she was there when no one else was.
"Don't" Gerald whispers.
I look at him with my eyes narrowed.
"Sympathy is not what he needs" Gerald shakes his head.
True.
"Come! We've got some work to do" I say and hold Gerald's hand.
"As much as I like a girl holding my hand, I should-"
I roll my eyes and drag with me all along following Donovan's scent. It leads me to the porch and I see Donovan just standing in rain with his head hung low.
"Maybe we should leave him alone" Gerald whispers.
I nod my head.
"Tell me something, I thought you left. How did you come when I screamed?" I ask Gerald.
"Who told you I left? I just teleported to where Snow was sleeping. I was playing with her while you two were busy with your own thing" Gerald shrugs.
And I cannot help pink again.!
"I must say... Donovan likes you" Gerald says.
I nod my head. And I love him. I know I am too soon to jump into a conclusion. But I feel like I have known him enough. And from what I have known, he is someone who deserves every good thing the Universe ever had to offer!
"Donovan!!!" Gerald yells.
But Donovan doesn't turn around.
"I thought you called him Vannie?" I whisper still looking at Donovan.
"Not when he is mad. Anyone in this world knows better" Gerald says.
A member of spiral council saying that hits something different. My tongue itches to ask him but I let it slide. Maybe some other time.
"You'll catch cold!!" I yell at Donovan again.
Gerald chuckles beside me. I glare at him and he doesn't even pay attention.
"Catch a cold!! As if he is human!!!" Gerald says.
I bite my own tongue. Screw you embarassment!!
"I know how to get him here" Gerald says and I am more than curious to know about it.
"Hey Donovan!! Looks like snow is hungry!" Gerald shouts and Donovan's head whips towards us in fraction of second.
I cannot help the pang of jealousy! Never did I imagine I would be feeling jealous over a cat but well, here I am and nice to meet you!
Donovan rushes inside and doesn't even look at me. I roll my eyes at him. Did I just lost? Woah!!!
"Stoppp! She's just a cat" Gerald says sensing my jealous.
I roll my eyes at him too. I walk in and see Donovan feeding Snow some meat. He is still wet but snow clearly looks like she doesn't mind. I unconsciously glare at the cat.
"Once snow is fed, we shall leave" Donovan says still not looking at me.
"Leave? Where??" I ask him.
"Your world. It might already be morning" je whispers.
I don't want to leave. But I can't tell him that. It's not like I like it here but I want to spend more time with him. I highly doubt if I can do it at this point.
Moreover today is the day Riley and her family are coming over. The news about Jabari will be out of the bag. I worry about Adi. I have a pack to run.
"You have a pack to run" Donovan whispers.
I look at him. I am clearly stunned right now. He can exactly read my thoughts. Can Warlocks read minds? Is it what he is doing to me?
"Can Warlocks read minds?" I ask to no one in particular.
"We cannot. But we can make you feel what's in our mind if we want to" Gerald shrugs.
Snow finishes eating and Donovan holds one tiny piece of chicken on the palm of his hand. Snow eats that and starts licking Donovan's palm. It is only then, Donovan smiles.
Now I know my feeling towards Snow is beyond jealous! Seriously!!! I am the first ever female Alpha! A werewolf who shifted at fourteen. And here I am!!! Losing over a cat.
I huff and walk to the main entrance. By now, I am already starting to get familiar with this castle.
I take my coat. I start putting my boots on again. I know I can just let it slide but for some reason I cannot!! Maybe because I am a wolf, my natural tendency is to kill that white ball in an instant! But I refrain because she is someone my mate adores. Probably more than me!
I huff again and stand once I am done. I put my coat on and stand there tapping my foot impatiently. For some reason, I don't want to stay here anymore.
I see Donovan in different outfit. I also see Gerald follow him silently. We three walk out in silent and it is not raining heavily anymore. It is just drizzling and I guess I am fine with it.
However, Gerald is the one holding a huge umbrella now. I silently walk and both the men doesn't talk anything too.
"If I were you, I'd already be apologising to that girl" I hear Gerald's whisper.
Hey! I am a werewolf. I can hear whispers too!! The faint ones even!
"Why? What did I do?" Donovan asks genuinely confused.
Wow! Now he doesn't even know? Mark my words, I am not coming back here again!
"You don't have to do anything, my boy! With them, all you need to do is surrender" Gerald chuckles.
"Are you coming too? Gerald??" I ask Gerald.
"Nah! My home is right around the corner" he shrugs.
I nod my head.
"I wish it was you taking me back home. Can you?" I ask him.
I am greeted with silence so I see Donovan and Gerald glaring at each other. Well, Donovan glaring at Gerald but Gerald trying to stifle a laughter that is threatening to leave his mouth.
"But I'd definitely visit your land someday! It can be a good vacation!!" Gerald says.
I nod with a smile. Maybe I am starting to feel closer to Gerald. Sure as hell I did not have a good first impression on him. But now it feels like he is not that bad.
"Okay then. See you later" Gerald says with a wide smile.
"It was really nice meeting you! Hope I visit this world again just to meet you!" I say and wave at Gerald.
I see Donovan is holding the umbrella now. And in an instant, he broke the umbrella handle with his bare hand!! His other hand is still in one of his coat's pocket and I smirk internally.
"What is wrong with you?" I almost shout at Donovan.
I feel rain drops fall on me and Donovan is quick enough to flick his finger. And before I know, I am now standing in my bed room. I look around and then look at him.
"What was that, earlier?" He asks
I roll my eyes. As if he doesn't know!! I am just trying to play with him. But the jealousy is still there. It refuses to leave no matter how bad I try to calm myself down.
Donovan makes me sit on my bed and he kneels before me. I roll my eyes. This man can be as sweet as he wants to but I am definitely not going to melt.
"What did I do, Lina?" He slowly asks me.
"Ask that yourself!" I roll my eyes again.
"You are rolling your eyes way too much" he mentions.
"Oh! I acknowledge your efforts in noticing!!" I say my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Is it about snow?" He asks.
I don't say anything and that gave it all. Why did I have to be so dumb? I should have answered something and let the question slide. But now he might feel like I am just a little kid. Although I really am, comparision to his age.
"Is it because you are a wolf?" He asks
I shrug. Jeez!! Why am I even answering him at this point!!!
"You know what?" He asks and I nod again gesturing him to continue with his answer. But what he says skips my heart by a beat.
"You are so cute I want to keep kissing you" he whispers and presses his lips on mine.
I only push him away when I see the door to my bathroom is opened. I see Adi walk out wide eyed. I look around and there is no one except Adi.
"Why are you here?" I ask him.
He stands frozen looking at Donovan and I. And then he smirks taking in the position we are at. Weird enough, though our faces are inches apart.. I am sitting at the edge of the bed while Donovan is kneeling right between my legs.
I internally groan as Nora just laughs her ass off!!
"I was so drunk when I came here couple of hours ago. Guess I mistook your room as mine. I just went to use bathroom but I even saw a romantic genre movie!!!" He smirks and I know what he means by the last sentence.
"Get out!!!!!" I almost shout at him.
"I pity you Donovan.! This girl has a big mouth!!!" Adi says and leaves the room.
I see Donovan smile awkwardly. We both sit that way not moving an inch. I decide to change the topic but I ask him something that made him go rigid again. I shouldn't have asked that.
"You being emotional earlier, did something trigger you?"
His face goes emotionless as he looks at me. I already started to regret asking that. What was I even thinking when I was asking him about it!
"That's okay. You don't have to tell me" I smile at him.
"I guess I'll leave now. I'll be back soon" he says.
"Will you really-" I am stopped mid sentence when he flicks his fingers and he just disappears.
My heart feels a pang of hurt. Slight one.
"be back again?" I finish my sentence earlier in low voice staring at the floor.
What I did not expect is he showed up again and kissed my forehead before disappearing once again. I cannot stop falling for him.!
