Chapter 15
Lana moved around the house like a person without a soul. Coal had no idea of what to do, what could he even do when he was practically dumb to her, he had never been in this kind of situation before, and there was nothing he could say that she would understand so he just gave up on the idea and followed her around.
'why, did you think he could relate to the loss of someone close to him? nah!'
No, he didn't, he grew up alone, and he was a snake anyway they don't help each other out unless it affects another party. They only coexist because it is necessary.
He watched as she went to a room and felt around, probably looking for something. she finally touched a cupboard and sniffled.
He was about to touch her back, maybe offer a few words but then she sneezed, he frowned, he thought she was crying,
She sneezes again and again before sniffling.
'Oh'
Coal thought, 'guess she didn't need consoling'.
She felt around the drawer, touching the handle and letting go, earning a questioning glare from Coal, he moved again to help her open the drawer when she suddenly pushed a button and a secret drawer came out of the side.
She put her hand and brought out a bag, a medium-sized bag, he noticed the material, it was strange, almost as if it was made of clouds but infact it was as hard as a rock. it was a space bag.
Ok, he was amazed, there were just like ten of that in the entire world and the ten were heredity, except you happen to steal it from a family and that would be very difficult.
She felt around again and touched the buttons, the wall moved.
Coal looked around,
' was this just a cute cottage? '
" My father knew this day would come so we prepared for this" she explained. Coal nodded in understanding, now he knew why she wasn't crying.
" His in a better place now, united with his love, he has been waiting for this for a long time" she answered.
Coal nodded at her words again.
She opened a small door, he expected to see, golds and silvers with other precious gems acquired over the years. but that wasn't entirely it.
Well... there was gold, but there were more weapons than jewels.
She went for the weapons first, then gold, packing everything into the space bag she touched her thighs, feeling the cold surface of a blade; her father's last gift was hidden there.
She went to her room to pack a few clothes, changing from a blue gown to a black flare short gown, with black stockings and boots she was good to go. She went to the kitchen to pack some snacks, you can't go on a mission with nothing to eat now, can you?
Everything thing fits into the space bag, you can fit anything into it, no surprise.
She, along with Coal who has freshened up and changed into her father's clothes at some point, stepped out of the house.
She stood in front of the house and took in a deep breath.
With a small button at hand, she pressed it, coal turned to her confused, just when he was about to ask there was a loud, earth shaking sound, the house went up in flames.
She took in a deep breath, breathing the final hot scent of her dad before she left, she wished she could see the place before it all went down..
Well, that wish was far-fetched.
She took coal's hand and both of them left the burning scene. Coal wanted to say something, anything at all. He wanted to be supportive or sympathetic or something just to show that he cared, but once again, he didn't know what to say.
Since he could not communicate with her, he squeezed her hand. She looked up at him and smiled, although not like her regular smile.
The thing that was coiled around her wrist gave off a warm feeling, which she probably forgotten about until that moment, she touched it gratefully not knowing what it was but she could feel its concern for her.
Strange,
Just what was around her wrist.....
*******************
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
HIS POV
Strange.
In all my hundred years of living, I have never experienced this, this anxious feeling. Even when my father passed away at an early stage almost leaving a young me with huge responsibility.
Standing on my balcony feeling the cold breeze on my face did nothing to quench this burning fire in my heart.
I have been having this feeling for three days now,
Why?
Just why, or does my wolf know something I don't I believe this feeling was coming from him and that's strange.
Strange because my wolf has been dormant ever since I came of age, why is he restless now, or is something big about to happen?
Or maybe it's because of her, has she come of age?
No
I can not stand still,
Let me take a walk in the courtyard, maybe look at how my mother's roses are growing.
Mother, the strongest woman I know, the first woman alpha in the history of werewolves. Stepping up to shoulder all alpha duties just wanting me to experience childhood.
Ironically I never did, was always mature, and had to be mature for my siblings and me.
Some are gone now.
Looking at these rose bushes reminds me of the time Mother used to come here to think and cry because of my father.
He was a careless man, sometimes the word father was a very difficult word to say. And that's why up until now after not finding my mate, marriage is the last thing on my mind, there is no way I am making someone's child pass through what my mother did.
These rose bushes did nothing to calm the fire in my heart what exactly was going on?
In all my hundred years of living this has not happened before.
I raised my head to look at my oldest friend
The sky, my most reliable friend, some can relate.
The sky holds most of my secrets, I can't hide anything under the sky he would always find out. Recently he has been having a lot going on, with the ever-changing climate and strong to calm winds, I wonder what is troubling him.
He hasn't spoken to me since we had a drink three days ago.
Maybe something was going on with his wife and kid, last I remember its birthday was coming up.
"It's because I do not know if it was a boy or a girl"
He only told me to take care of it when the time comes,
How do you take care of a sky baby??
Maybe I should pay a visit and see what gender, boys can be manageable, and girls can be a handful.
And am too much of a sad man to bear with that.
Sigh
I have a lot on my mind but nothing to think of,
Some also can relate.
" Alpha! Alpha!!"
That guy, can't he see am busy with myself?
" What"
" The forest has been breached"
Fuck, That was not good
