By now Damien was back from his run. He could feel the happiness of his mate through their bond. It was a good thing that she was happy. But as time passed the level of happiness increased. It helped him in calming down. He was able to hear the words of the three. It eases him that she was happy but he did not like the fact that they were talking about literally every moment.
With a small smile on his face, he kept working.
'Damien.'
The sudden popping of voice in his head startled him for a moment but then it turned into a small smile. His mate was initiating a conversation with him for the first time. It was a happy moment. Shocking but happy.
'Yes, Flora.'
'I wish to prank.'
Out of all things Damien did not expect his mate to ask to do a prank. But again, he was not expecting anything. At least she was saying something. It was better than nothing. How can he reject to do something when his mate has asked for the first time.
'You wish to prank?'
'Yes. Luke prank you. Cameron prank you. I want to prank too.'
'Okay. Who do you wish to prank?'
'You choose.'
'I choose? Okay. How about...'
'You?'
'Me? Why are you asking to prank me?'
'No?'
'*chuckle* No, Flora. When you prank you do not tell the person who you are going to prank that you are going to prank them. It just happens. Okay?'
'Ok... Prank?'
'Alright. Let's prank but first tell me why?'
'Friends tell me... Prank you. You look funny. I want them to look funny.' Alright, now it seems like the mate bond has started to kick in. She feels the need to avenge him. Even if it is just by pranking.
He now just wishes to find a way to cure her. Not to fix her, she is not broken. She is strong.
'Alright, Flora. I will arrange everything you just sit.'
'I want to help.'
'You want to help too?'
'YES!!'
'Okay.'
And thus the preparations for pranking started. Flora was excited and eagerly following him all over the house. She was stuck to him as if she was tail. Undetachable. He even stumbled on her but she was again swinging her tail in excitement. He was laughing seeing her excitement and happiness.
Finally, it was set and now all that was required was the pair of victims. Innocent victims. Victims of a first-ever prank done by their Luna.
'Flora it's all set. Now listen carefully. Find both of them and then tell them that I asked for something and you need their help to fetch me. And, do not come in first send them in.'
'Okay.'
Flora was so excited that she quickly sniffed and rushed out in their direction. She was trotting and sniffing. She came across a huge blonde-colored wolf. She was in awe. Its fur was shining under the sunlight like a golden sea. She liked that.
She notice how the wolf was baring its teeth to the opponent. It was obvious that they were sparring and that was why she waited. She waited for a few moments. Just as the blond wolf stopped sparring and turned around she jumped at its face. The wolf tilted its head a bit in confusion but then shifted into human form. And she thought she could not be any more amazed.
The wolf was a girl. Not too slim, with blond hair and blue eyes. She could be just called pretty. When the female bends down to come at her height, she comes out from her thoughts and runs away from there.
She once again tries to sniff and this time finds both of them in one place. Those two were walking together in their human form. She once again jumps in front.
'Flora!?'
'I need help.'
'What do you need help with Flora?'
'Damien wants water. It is high.'
'Okay.'
They could see her jumpy movement in her steps. A frown appeared on their face because of confusion, but they continued to walk.
Flora was excited about what was going to happen. She followed them up to the door and let them pass first.
Luke and Carlos were in a deep conversation with each other. They did not notice anything out of place but when they did, it was already late. Both stumbled face-first on the floor.
Flora was now swinging her tail but stopped doing it when she noticed them glancing at her. At first, they slightly narrowed their eyes at her but then they decided to leave it and moved towards the sink for water.
The sink was broken. The moment they turned on the tap, the water was directly splashed on their faces. The sudden force of the water caused them to stumble on their feet and step on the skateboards placed. The skateboards were placed so they will slide when stepped on.
The last thing they knew was they were on the floor and their faces were smashed with cream and layers of cake.
" Pfft... *groan* What the hell... WE ARE NOT KIDS ANYMORE DAMIEN!!"
"Shut up."
It was then they noticed the strong thumping of her tail on the floor. She was giving a wolfy grin at them. Thumping her tail on the floor rolling around and stop for a moment and look at them. Then again rolling on the floor then stop.
It brings small smiles to their faces. Her rolling on the floor and smiling appeared similar to a human laughing hard and rolling on the floor.
Alas; if only she could talk. How wonderful it would have been to hear her laughter.
Sure, she can talk through mind-link, but it was not the same. She saw her 'prank' being successful but she only saw them falling. She saw the water splashed on their face. She saw their expressions and not the words. She may have enjoyed it, but he could not ignore the fact that the sound would have made it more entertaining to her.
'Flora.'
'DAMIEN!! FUN! AGAIN! AGAIN!'
This brings a chuckle out of Damien and the horrific expression on the faces of the victims. She wanted them to go through it? Again? My my, who is going to break the news to this innocent little girl now?
'It does not happen like that Flora. They do not do it again. They know your tricks now. For that, you have to plan something else and some other day. Alright?'
'Oh- okay. It was fun.'
'Yes it was fun, but never do it alone. Okay?'
'OK!!... Are they angry?'
This makes him glare at his friends. The only reason he stopped her from doing any pranks alone, because she may do something which hurt others. But this was a small one. There was no way those two were hurt.
"Luke. Cameron. Are you two hurt?"
His glare was scary. His cold eyes were promising them prolonged painful torture if they even so think about saying otherwise.
A shiver passed through their back. They felt as if their blood may freeze but certainly, Flora failed to notice.
They quickly shaked their heads. They dare not go against the tyrant.
'Mate... Tired.'
'Ok'
With the sudden softness appearing in his eyes. Slowly placing her in his arms, he carried her back to his office.
The swift moves of her tail, the happiness in her eyes, the rolling of her on the floor have all mesmerized him. He wishes he could hear her voice, but it all appears to be wishful thinking.
He no longer feels lonely. Even if his little mate appears more like his pet, he has no doubt with time she can be in the condition he wants her to be.
But soon a small frown appeared on his face. He could not understand the reason behind 'him' waking up now. He does not want to wake him up now. When 'he' was there nothing good was around. This little white wolf in his arms is filled with light and happiness while 'he' is filled with darkness and hate.
A complicated expression was present on his face.
As if she can feel his confusion and aggression, she snuggles closer to his body.
With her comfort, he loses his confusion and slowly gives a peck on her forehead.
"Flora. I will forever protect you. Always and Forever love you."
