Chapter 7
"Miss Ancia, If it's ok with you. I would like to ask you out on a date." said Drake with an earnest face. He already knew what her answer was going to be as he could smell happiness radiating from her.
At his question, Ancia returns her focus back to him and puts on a poker face which no longer makes Drake worry as after interacting with Ancia for the past two weeks, he has understood that this is her reaction when she becomes flattered. And with a slight nod of her head she answered his question. A bright smile touched Drake's lips as if he had found a billion dollar worth treasure. They exchanged numbers and everything was perfect. They both were emitting happiness and then Drake offered to drop her home which she accepted. They both wanted to stay in each other's company as long as they could but both were hesitant as to not rush.
Drake dropped Ancia in front of her apartment complex. It was a nice neighborhood and neat if he could add. Perfectly matches with the personality of Ancia who herself had quite a neat appearance. Ancia was always dressed in solid color clothes which hugged her body nicely and gave her an aura of a gentle and kind lady. Maybe that's what he loved the most about Ancia, she was different from all the women who had approached him in the past. They were always after his wealth or the position of Luna. But Ancia ,she is someone who doesn't even know about all that. She is someone who is only looking at him , Drake. As he was thinking all this, Ancia turned to him and as their eyes met, Ancia blushed again. It was such a nice feeling that Drake wanted nothing else but to keep looking at this gorgeous woman in front of him.
"So.. this is where I live." Ancia said in a soft voice.
"Uhun." replied Drake while looking at her with a gentle face.
"I will see you tomorrow then?" asked Ancia to know whether he will be visiting her tomorrow as usual or not. After all he no longer needs to make time to visit her from his own (busy) schedule now that they have exchanged numbers.
"Do you like sandwiches?" asked Drake at which Ancia tilts her head a little in question.
"Yes."
"Then sandwiches it is. I will bring you lunch tomorrow and then we can eat together." said Drake.
Ancia's poker face was back and she nodded her head in agreement.
"Ok." she whispers.
Drake was having fun teasing her like this and the next moment he held her hand and placed a gentle kiss on the tip of her fingers. It was a very affectionate gesture which made Ancia feel extremely happy.
They bid each other goodbye and Ancia went to her apartment while Drake waited till she entered the building and only then he drove back home.
When Drake returned back to the pack. The whole pack could see the imaginary flowers he was surrounded with.
Edward and Rick didn't have to ask about how things with their lina went. Everybody was happy for him, their alpha has finally found his mate and anyone can see how much their scary alpha loves his mate.
"Edward." Drake started.
"Yes alpha."
" I want to build a greenhouse on the third floor of the pack house."
" A greenhouse?"
"Yes! Because your Luna loves flowers. I think it's obvious that she would love to have a greenhouse of her own."
"Of course Alpha.I will start the preparation for it." replied Edward.
"Rick..What is the situation of the rogue situation in the outskirts around the borders."
"Everything is ok, Alpha. There has been no trespassing but.." Rick hesitated.
Drake raised his left eyebrow in question.
"It seems there are some witches or should we say some envoys of witches mingling with the rogues."
"Mingling?"
"Yes Alpha. According to the guards patrolling the borders, they have witnessed some witches healing the rouge's wounds and providing medical care.But it's not something out of ordinary because some witches do these sort of charities" interjected Edward.
"Hmm…But why won't they visit the packs?" Drake said while massaging his temple.
Edward and Rick looked at each other in question.
"If the witches are actually doing this sort of charity then why won't they stop by the packs to spend their nights as they are allowed to do so as long as they don't involve themselves in our business. This is not charity. It's something else. They are trying to get the rogues under their wings." said Drake with an absolute voice.
Both Edward's and Rick's eyes widens a little at his sound reasoning.
"Send some spies across the borders to investigate and invite a warlock...no at least two of them to our pack. If they are planning something against Crimson Moon or any other pack we need to be prepared." said Drake while looking out the window .
"Yes Alpha." said both the beta and gamma.
After they left, Drake was now alone in his office.
He wants to take care of this issue as quickly as possible because whenever witches are involved with other supernatural beings , it never ends well. Witches are strong creatures. Humans but at the same time they are not humans. They are usually harmless so the situation should get sorted out quickly.
He needs everything to be normal and peaceful before welcoming Ancia into his world. Ancia is a human and too gentle of a person if she were to enter his world while things are dangerous. It could lead to a negative impression for her. After all, his world is full of things that make humans feel not only scared but also messes up their lives quite a bit.
Drake has planned a beautiful life with Ancia in his pack. With lots and lots of happiness. Drake is not only known for his leadership or strength but for his wits and craftiness. And he personally doesn't think of it as a bad thing, this was something he inherited from his mother . Maybe that's why he was confident that whatever it is , he can handle it and will not let anyone even touch a single strand of Ancia or any one of his pack's members in a wrong way.
"Ah! I need to ask mom to teach me how to make her signature sandwiches." mumbled Drake to himself.
"I can't wait to see her again."
Meanwhile at Ancia's,
As Ancia entered her home. She found a person sitting on her couch and his feet were on the table in front of the couch. She stared at this intruder silently while her face hardened. It was a man. This man's red eyes glowed in the dark and as their eyes met, he gave her a smile showing his fangs. The mood in the room was eerily silent and if anyone would have witnessed this scene they would've peed in their pants . The man had long black hair in a low ponytail and his skin was very pale as if he hasn't seen the sun in centuries. Even at one glance anyone could tell that this man is no human.
Ancia continued to stare at him without any movement and then she threw her purse to hit him.
"Shoes off the table!" she said.
