❤ELYSIAN' POINT OF VIEW❤
As the man was decreasing the space between me and him, my heart was shriveling down in the shape of a bean with the fear which was making up in me.
I consolidate myself to face him with what strength I had in me, after whatever was happening with me since earlier this morning, " who--who are you?" this was the second question I asked the person, however, no matter how I tried to be courageous in front of him, I was just a frightened cat in front of him and stammered.
But this time I got the response from him, but it was not the answer it was a question with escaped his lips with a husky voice, "Elysian, what are you doing here, at this time?" Asked the person and the smile make a perfect curve on my lips, recognizing the person. It was none other than my mate, Bruce, who has rejected me earlier without showing any mercy on me.
Still, my heart was somehow at rest, seeing someone from my pack, especially my Mate, I mean my Ex- mate.
"Bruce, what are you doing here?" I asked and astonishment was clearly visible in my voice with a mixture of happiness and gratefulness for him being here.
"I come here by searching for you, what are you doing on this foreign land? Weren't you suppose to be at the packhouse rather here?" Bruce barraged me with so many questions in one go and I was dumbfounded by him, reacting this way, doesn't he the one who rejected me in the first place now why he is caring about me. But my heart was playing games with my mind, seeing him caring about me and coming here all the way across the territories only to find me, I was so overwhelmed with the joy that my eyes started forming tears of joy and love for him.
"let's go, Elysian, we need to go, hurry up and follow me" saying this Bruce started making his way to the wood but there's one thing that bothered me was him going in the other direction from our pack, our pack belongs from the southern direction but he is towards the west side, "Bruce, aren't we supposed to go to the south?" I asked out not holding back the urge to spoke out my doubt.
Soon I regretted asking him as I saw him stopping in his tracks and his jaw clenched, and he turned around, his lips crowning with a devilish smirk as he asks raising his one eyebrow at me in questioning, " How are you so sure, we are going in the wrong direction?"
He asked with so much authority in his manner as always that I was forced to take a step back in fright. Seeing me not replying, he raised his step towards me, "Tell me, how do know, honey?" He raised my chin with his cold fingers, which was supposed to be hot in temperature since he is a werewolf. The body of werewolves reproduces hot temperature regardless of the low temperature. But right now his body is cold as Ice as felt goosebumps all over my body only by his touch.
" I... Earlier when I was sitting down, I saw the north pole star and I was deciding to go back to our pack since I got to know the right direction to our pack before you appear here." I hesitate to tell him as it the second time we are standing so close to each other after knowing we are mates.
"North pole star?" asked Bruce, making me look up to his face, and I observed the confused look on his face as if it's the first time he is hearing about the north pole star. Isn't he the same intelligent person of Breaking Dawn Pack who knows everything about the stars, now why he is pretending naively?
I nodded my head, silently, holding up my urge to laugh at him for his stupidity and he withdraws his hand away from me, which was forcing me to look at him, earlier and I felt disappointed for his action.
"Look up at the sky, The best way to find your way to Polaris is to use the so-called "Pointer" stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper, Dubhe, and Merak. Just draw a line between these two stars and extend it out about five times, and you eventually will arrive in the vicinity of Polaris." I pointed my forefinger towards the night sky to draw the invisible line to show Bruce, how I find the Polaris. And he was moving his eyes with the traces of my finger with his mouth slightly open, making him much cuter than before, and was just staring at him.
I have never dared to stare at Bruce, while we were in the packhouse even we were in the school I never dared to go around him as he was always stays surrounded by the campus beauties. He was always a popular hunk of our school and I was just an Omega, who don't even have someone by my side for the entire time, whom I could call a friend expect that girl, Sharon, who died in the prison of our Pack while facing the tortures, day and night.
However, I'm not feeling alone in this vast world, standing beside Bruce.
"Oh, so this is how you find out about the direction," Bruce, breaks the silence between us, and I realized I was staring at him, secretly admiring his beauty and my cheeks turned red in color when I got caught by him, but thanks to the darkness he couldn't see me blushing.
"What happened Elysian are you alright?" Bruce asked me when I didn't reply "Yes I'm alright" I replied, "So, you tell me why are we going in this wrong direction instead of going to southern direction, aren't we going to our pack?" I asked out and he looked at me for a second before turning around once again, " I guess you got me?" he said dangerously and I felt an unknown sensation of anxiety, what does he mean by 'I got him', What does he said in this way as if I have caught him red-handed.
"What you mean, Bruce? Why did you say this?" I asked taking a step back, my brows furrowed, even I was facing his back, I'm well aware of how much of a jerk he is, he might have come here only to kill me on this foreign land, so in that way, he doesn't have to go through the turmoil of paperwork he has to go through If something happens with me as I'm his mate although he has rejected me.
However, the rules are rules, it doesn't matter if I'm no longer his mate but because I was his mate and he has to take the responsibility for me as long as I don't find another mate and in the meantime, something happens to me, this the rule of our pack, maybe this why he has come all the way here, it wasn't because he wanted me to be with me or he has admitted me to be his mate but because he wanted to end my life on another territory.
I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands to stop my scream of fear which was ready to escape my lips, but I don't want him to know that I'm scared of him or he might kill me right here.
I heard him whispering something as if he was talking with himself. "I can't do this, I can't...." he whispered, yelled, and suddenly hold my hand, and I almost jumped by this.
"What's wrong?" I asked, my voice was so low that it was barely audible.
Shaking his head he whispered, "Go away Elysian when you have time, it's not the right place you should be at, run away." he growled and hold his head as if his head was throbbing.
"What do mean it's not the right place for me, aren't we going back ?" I swallowed looking at the surroundings to check out the hint of menace that made him say this.
"Just go away" this time he grumbled loudly, forcing me away and I fell on the ground.
I looked at him in horror as he kneed down on the floor, holding his head with both hands, and he cried out in pain, making my heartache for this condition of my mate.
I crawled at him and grab him his left arm, he was soaked in sweat, the nerves of his head were throbbing on his temple as if it was going to burst in the next moment.
Seeing him struggling with pain, my tears come out making a string on my cheeks, "What happened, Bruce, Please talk to me, what's happening?" I wasn't sure what was happening with him and why he is in so much pain but I can't see him in this way.
" Elysian, stay away from me or you will die," said Bruce, leaving me in shock.
"No, I won't go anywhere, tell me what's wrong with you," I asked with horror.
He finally looked up to me and there was a pain in his eyes I can see him pleading with me. And I hugged him before getting up to do as he said. Making my distance I looked at Bruce. His shoulders were tensed as he was fighting with something within him. It sends chills down my spine, and my fear kicks up to inhumane levels.
"Stay away from him!" coming to a voice of a man from behind and I jumped off my place.
