Azrael’s POV
“How’s the soup going?”
“Just need to boil and then it’s done, Luna.”
“Nice.”
Anna and I decided to prepare a special dinner tonight. We just thought that surprising Levi would be a good way to lighten up his mood. He’s not doing well usually but now, he’s getting worst after what he saw at the pack house. I feel devastated when I heard what he saw. Imagine how devastated he is that he saw it with his own eyes.
Anna’s wounds are not completely healed but she’s better than how she was. I told her that I can do the cooking all by myself but she insisted saying that how could an omega rest while the Luna works? Sound shitty but still, she won.
“I’m sure that this would put a smile on his face,” Anna went nea
Third’s Person’s POVEnjoying the dinner that the Luna prepared herself, the time has come for Lexi to go back to the Rogue Kingdom. It was getting dark and Levi was worried. All four of them are now standing outside of their small cottage.“You know, you can crash in for the night.” Levi offeredHe was still smiling and it did not fade even a second. He was happy, and somehow, he slowly came back to the Levi everyone once knew.“I would love to but mom’s probably looking for me right now.” Lexi bit her cheek from the inside of her mouth from the lie that she said.“I wouldn’t mind at all. Besides it is really getting dark. Might be dangerous for a girl to walk by herself at this late hour.” Azrael suggested feeling a bit comfortable around Lexi now.Lexi shook her h
Azrael’s POVAfter Lexi left, Levi told me all about her with full of happiness in his voice. And right there, I knew what was happening. He finally found his mate. I was glad and relieved to finally see Levi without his frown, the cold face he hold finally melts towards her mates’ warmth.But thinking aside from that, I also feel kinda sad towards Anna. I knew this time would come, heck, we even spoke about her crush towards Levi last night! Is it a coincidence? I sighed.I was in the market with Anna to look for meat. Levi might not show it, but I knew he’s sick with eating vegetables most of the days. Last night was one of the exception of course, I somehow want to spoil both Anna and Levi with their favorites.“What do you think of having fried ribs for dinner, Anna?” the question somehow made Anna stopped walking and faced me. The f
Azrael’s POVMe and Anna stopped on our tracks and my eyes widen. I could see Anna looked behind us in my peripheral vision but stayed. Is that really him? I finally looked behind us and I met his eyes. Despite of his forced courtship towards me, he is still my friend.“Cris?” I muttered to which he nodded in response and hugged me to which it surprise me. But despite the surprise, I hug back.“I thought I would never see you again.” he mumbled. I could only smile and nod.“Same here.”“Ahem.” I ended the hug when I remembered Anna was beside me. I smiled at her.“Anna, meet Cris!” I once again grab Anna’s hand and looked at Cris with a smile. “Cris, meet Anna!” I took his hand and made them shook each others’ hand.
There was an awkward silence after Levi’s explanation. I bet you could see my face flushed from his choice of words. I can feel Anna’s eyes staring at my back, a sinister smile and eyes. That only made me shiver.“Not the explanation I expected.” I mumbled and scratched my nape, face still flushed. My eyes fixed towards Cris who is busy easing the pain in his neck, I bet he didn’t even bother to listen to our conversation, that’s good.I heard Levi clicked his tongue and still glaring at Cris. “You better stay away from him, Luna.” I could only mentally roll my eyes and sighed.“Just calm down, Levi. He is an old friend of mine, we can trust him.” now that, that made Levi’s eyes fixed on me. His eyes showed surprise and doubt. Well, he is a wolf after all, possessive and stuff.“Are you serious, Luna?” he was disbelief. I w
“He’s been dozing off lately. I’m getting worried but he’s eating well and gets enough sleep. I guess that’s enough for us to be relieved,” Nurse Gwen said as we stroll on the hallways towards my Dad’s room.“Thank you, Nurse Gwen. Thank you for taking care of him.”She halted and turned to me. She held my hand and looked at me in the eyes. It’s as if saying that she will always be there.“Your father and I became friends since you brought him here. He is a good man, Azrael, and a good father. He deserves the best care.”I nodded and looked down, biting my lower lip. He’s indeed a good father to me. He took care of me when Mom left. Mom left us when I was a baby and Dad raised me himself. Dad became a father and a mother all at the same time until he lost his sanity. Mom leaving us was heartbreaking enough for him.&
“Dad?!” I called out to him the moment I stepped out of the vehicle.I heard my friends’ footsteps following me. I need to see my Dad as soon as possible. I cannot let him see my good-for-nothing mother. She could do anything to him! I don’t know what my mother is like but there is only one thing I’m sure of. She’s a coward. I couldn’t say that the reason why she left is because she hates me. If she had known that she’s pregnant with me then she could have an abortion. But she didn’t do it. She brought me to the world.Maybe at first she really wanted me. She loved me and was happy when she gave birth to me. I am uncertain of my own opinion but I think she’s afraid of the responsibility of raising a child. Dad mentioned that my mother would often have deep thoughts while looking at me. I might misinterpret things but that is what I thought. If she love me, why would she leave?
I haven’t seen my father since then, but I know he went with my mother. It’s heartbreaking, knowing they left their child, alone, fighting a war that she didn’t know she was int. What am I suppose to do? All she said is to find the sorcerer of the west!I don’t know anymore. I feel numb all over my body. I should hate them for leaving me! But I know I can’t, I won’t, and I don’t want to. As long as dad went with her without any trouble, I know he is safe, safe away from problems.Third Person’s POVAfter the event happened, the two werewolf and human went to grab Azrael’s figure. She did not protest nor threw a tantrum, but the other three are worried when she didn’t even bother to talk. She only stared towards nothing but the air.Anna was beside her on the back seat, holding bot
With hesitation, Lexi walked closer to Azrael who was sitting in front of her mirror. She was just staring at herself without blinking.“Azrael?” Lexi startedThe Luna did not seem to hear her because she was not responding. Not even sparing a glance from the mirror, nor letting out a soft hum of response. Lexi was scared that maybe she would cross the line. She felt like walking on thin ice. But the urge of talking to her and making her feel better was stronger than being afraid of her outburst. It was a risk she thought that would be worth it.With that in mind, she inched closer and closer until she reached her. She bend her knees so that they could be on the same level as the sitting Luna.Anna which was behind her only kept her stance and did not bother to follow her all the way through. She calmed down and slowly stroked Azrael’s hair. It was a wonder for her to see how white
