"No way! Just announce me already. You don't have to sleep with me." I muttered feeling irritated by the words that proceeded out of his mouth.
"Ariel, that is not how it works here. You are a werewolf. If you can withstand my thrusting, you qualify."
"I don't even like you. I am not even attracted to you and you lack the manners of approaching a lady." I sputtered in disgust and watched him gasp. He must have been disappointed.
"Judging by first impression isn't a good thing to do you know."
"This has nothing to do with first impression, Bryan. If I could count, this is the third time we are having a conversation."
"And you still can't understand how I feel about you?" He asked.
"No I don't. Not if you explain to me." I said folding my arms.
"Gladly. I am beginning to like you and if you give me a chance, I'll help you in everyway and with anything. Just give me a chance." He pleaded. It really sucks though but I had to admit, I needed him to help me find my child and I do not even care what he is willing to do with me so long as I have no mutual feelings, I am sure to reject him when I find my child and the father who impregnated me.
"So you promise to find my child right?"
"I will." He nodded and in his eyes it looks like he was sure he would find him.
"Then you will also help me find Raymond to make the bargain even."
"But that is not included? I am doing you a favor by declaring you my Luna. This is like every girl's dream." He shrugged
"I am not every other girl, I am Ariel and I am different. To me, there isn't anything special about becoming a Luna and most especially becoming your Luna."
"You're getting it all wrong. If we bond, you become stronger and no female werewolf's strength can match yours. Secondly, I am rich."
"I don't care about your wealth. And to enlighten you further when you let a female acquire such strength you speak of, they can use it to destroy your pack or cause even worse. I wish you are aware of what happened in blood moon pack at Whitewood."
"Of course I am. The news is everywhere, plus, Susan Walter is my sister. She was a Stark before she got married to Walter."
I was astonished by what he just said, I can't believe I am in the hands of a member of the family that wants me and my entire family dead. Then again, I had to play cool and find out which side he was. So I asked as quickly as I could,
"Interesting. So tell me, are you in support of her actions? I believe you are well informed about all she did."
"Truth is, I never liked the way my sister handles situations and she kind of impressed my parents to a point they could not see when she was doing the wrong thing until she turned vile. So do not think I am in support of her actions."
"But you were aware she murdered an innocent family and yet you did nothing about it?"
"I was lately informed and I have absolutely nothing to do with the blood moon pack at Whitewood. I am not on my sister's side so don't see me as a cruel person. I devote my life to save my pack and not to kill whoever went wrong."
"I don't think the family she murdered are wrong. I don't think they killed the alpha of blood moon pack. She acted recklessly and she deserves to be brought to justice for that." I sputtered in a way he must have realise that I hated Susan Walter so much, but he consistently showed no interest.
"Well, it is not in my position to do so. Let's forget about those people. Besides you said you are never going to have anything to do with Whitewood. So I don't think we should be talking about matters concerning them. You aren't planning on going back, are you?"
"No I am not." I replied instantly, showing strong emotions and after a while, I said, "if you aren't in the position to do so, then who is?"
"It depends on who is interested. But I know that blood moon pack are the ones responsible to fix their problems. They should make themselves a new alpha who will take care of it. For now, let's focus on our deal. Don't you think?"
Sighing, I nodded, "I think so. But you will have to begin with the search first."
"No problem. I will let you know how it is going. I shall take my leave now." Bryan said and parted his lips like someone who is happy to have won a medal. I knew he sees me as a reward from that moment on and as the day went by, he kept updating me on how much they have searched the entire city thoroughly to no avail. I wished he was only searching for my child and not constantly demanding for s*x. I had to keep making excuses but I know he won't keep taking it. I was in the woods all alone this evening when Kelly came to call me to the pack, informing me that the alpha wanted to see me.
"I'll be with him in a minute." I told Kelly as she stood behind me in my solitude.
"Okay but make it quick else he will think I didn't pass the information."
"Like I said, in a minute." I sighed and noticed she left. I really hated to be bothered when having my privacy, especially when it has to do with Bryan wanting to see me. What other choice do I have? He is my only chance of finding my child. I met him in his room as I have access to it ever since we had the agreement.
"Bryan."
"Ariel. Please shut the door and turn the keys."
"Is there a problem?" I asked but did as was told.
"No. I need you to experience something. Come over here and put this on."
"Why?" I asked when he handed over a blindfold.
"Trust me. It's a surprise." He whispered placing his hands on my shoulders and made me sit on his bed. Though I don't think I should trust him but I was curious to know what he wanted to show me, I had to cover my eyes with it.
