Chereads / Lunar Shadows / Chapter 4 - chapter 4

Chapter 4 - chapter 4

I took out a loose pant from his wardrobe then a sleeved top, it wasn't really my size, but the clothes I'd found didn't seem like his current body size, it was definitely a smaller size for the current Ryan.

Surprisingly I didn't actually think much about it, after taking a shower in that exquisite tub, I felt a little relaxed. I tied my hair into a ponytail but not before I gently but clumsily combed it with the soft brush that was provided for me.

The top I had picked was jet black in color, it was really dark, whilst the loose pants I'd taken was a dark gray stretchy material of sorts.

I could tell it was Ryan's cause the smell of snowdrops lingered on the clothes, not like I minded though, like I said it was better than taking a dress to the dinner meeting.

Taking something akin to a bandage wrapper I wrapped it around my chest area, an action I was very used to. At least they had the decency to provide underwear for me even though it seemed more like lingerie.

I put on the loose pants, it had a rope attached to the waist so it was still pretty decent when I tied it, the shirt was still bigger than mine, not just in length, so I had to improvise.

Then I brought out a white simple vest to go underneath the black sleeved tunic. After donning the vest, I put on the black sleeved shirt, folded the hands and made my way outside the room.

There were guards outside the serene walls of the room and maids along the halls, they all turned to stare at me as I passed amidst them.

Though it was a normal reaction, I mean what would you do if some unknown lady showed up at your young master's mansion, walked out of his room with his clothes on.

In the first place it was unusual for a girl to dress like that, but well.. I didn't care. What? Were you expecting me to dress like a princess and dance according to prince charming tunes?.

No I won't, in the first place I'd feel rather uncomfortable in a dress, as I've never worn one before, the pack members of the blood Fang weren't generous enough to treat me and my brother as humans, at least a few of them kept us alive till we were able to take care of ourselves.

Walking up to a random maid, I asked for directions to the dining halls, she meekly requested for me to follow her as she personally directed me, only returning back to her duties after reaching a huge door somewhere in the spacious mansion.

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this." I muttered with a grim but strangely nervous expression.

If it weren't for that maid I wouldn't have even bothered, just seeing his face was going to make me lose my appetite, but then again I had to go, I couldn't ignore the plea of that little maid.

I pushed the door open and walked into the dining hall. For a second I got lost in the beauty of this exquisite hall.. no it wasn't a hall, they were having their meal out in the open filled with flowers and beautiful sceneries.

A loud whistle brought me back to reality followed by a teasing tone.

"Bold" it said, and I brought my attention to the one who had just spoken.

Surprisingly it wasn't Ryan who had said that.. it was a smug looking dude with aqua blue coloured hair, he had a weird grin on his face as he stared at me.

I focused my attention on Ryan who looked like he was about to cover his face in shame.

There were two others apart from Ryan who were also present, I didn't see his parents and I didn't hope to see them, it would have been really awkward for me if they were here.

The first one was a delicate looking young lady with blonde hair and azure eyes like Ryan, she looked really beautiful and had a strange kind of aura that made one want to protect her.

The other spared me a quick glance but he quickly diverted his attention back to his food. He had auburn hair, pale skin and icy blue eyes, his aura was a dangerous kind, the type that screamed not to get too close.

Ryan spoke up with a tired sigh, he looked really stressed, and was very different from the lively bastard who had stolen my prey yesterday.

" What are you wearing?." He asked.

"What does it look like?" I asked back, meeting his gaze.

" Didn't you get the dress?"

" You didn't actually think I was going to wear that, did you?"

His lips shot up in a teasing smile as he spoke.

"You do know you're putting on my clothes." He asked as I nodded.

" I'm fully aware of that.."

He chuckled.

"That's like you declaring that you're mine, my scent is all over you know."

I shuddered, glaring at him with a pissed expression, still I couldn't hide the embarrassment on my face, I thought of words to retort but nothing came to my mind.

Thankfully a soft melodious voice sounded, saving me the embarrassment of not having anything to reply to the bastard wolf.

" What a lovely young lady you've found yourself, brother."

She turned to me and gave me the warmest smile I had ever seen.

" Please, have a seat." She requested, tapping an empty chair beside her.

I found myself mesmerized by this delicate entity before me, she looked like an angel unlike the one she called brother, that one looked like a charming demon straight out of hell.

I did as she asked, taking a seat close to her. There were several mouth watering delicacies in front of me and I couldn't help but drool the more I stared at the food.

The blonde haired girl smiled beautifully as she studied my reaction, she cut a large portion of steak and placed it on my plate, then she slid a small plate filled with sauce towards me

" Uh.. Thank you very much." I couldn't help but thank her, I wasn't all used to these kind of treatment so I was a bit flustered.

' I bet once she finds out that I'm a half-breed she'll have a different attitude towards me, I better enjoy this treatment while it lasts.'

I dug in, getting a taste of the steak which was cooked quite well, it was even better with the sauce, better than most of the meats I'd ever eaten.

Back in my pack all I'd ever had were roasted meats and maybe cooked a few times, we basically lived on the outskirts of the town.

As I continued eating Ryan and the smug looking guy were having a discussion, but the other guy remained silent, barely making eye contact with the rest of us on the dining table.

The blonde girl continued eating beautifully and I couldn't help but admire her. She was really delicate, and graceful, I just felt like keeping her safe. The thought of any harm befalling this beautiful lady filled my heart with dread.

' At least her brother would always be there to protect her.' I casually thought, putting a piece of steak in my mouth.

Ryan suddenly called out to me, his azure eyes locked on me as his eyes scanned my body.

' goddamn perv, he's probably thinking something stupid, gods I can't stand this man.'

" Is the food to your liking?" He asked, to which I immediately nodded.

He looked baffled for some reason, like he wasn't expecting me to answer honestly, sadly I'm not one to rebuke a good meal.

" You're surprisingly honest, it's strange I thought you wouldn't come."

" Well a maid of yours begged me to come, else she'd be punished." I replied with a sigh.

He let out a small cough as his sister looked at him with a smile.

" Dear brother, have you been intimidating those innocent people?" She asked and for the first time I saw Ryan a bit terrified.

" Ah.. no no, I'm not threatening them, honestly do I look that intimidating?."

I couldn't help but scoff at his words.

" You look like a mischievous and sinister person."

His sister nodded in agreement

" Hmm.. yes, that he is." She chuckled innocently

A split second later the atmosphere in the dining table grew cold as Ryan had a deadly look on his face, a scowl graced his gorgeous face and I couldn't help but shudder.

An awkward silence followed for a few seconds then Ryan spoke up.

" We're under attack."
