Blake

Chapter 8

"So, care to explain how this happened behind our back?"

Kira has her arms crossed over her chest while interrogating Blake and Catleya. Whereas, Cierra is with her twins, cuddling them, while so amused watching Kira's reaction.

"Skye, this is about our private life, and I don't think we owe the pack for some explanations."

"You and Catleya are my responsibility, Blake. As your Luna, atleast I should know it. It's not because I wanna pry into your private lives, but because I wanna make sure things won't get worse than you being in a relationship with her."

"Worse? How the--" Catleya interrupts, trying to calm her nerves. "I don't mean to be disrespectful, Luna, but having a relationship with Blake isn't worse. I don't think it is. Besides, he's good for me."

"You don't get it, Catleya. Your brother will surely go berserk if he finds out about you and Blake's relationship."

"Then let him. He had been in my situation before. Alpha Caspian had been in relationships before he met you, so what's the difference? He can't stop me from dating Blake."

"Caspian only wants good for you. He may not be good at showing it, but deep inside, he cares for you. He doesn't want you to get hurt."

"Blake won't hurt me, Luna. We both know what we're doing. And I hope you would understand us."

The sincerity in Catleya's voice radiates through her face. Kira has seen it, so she comes to a decision, but she needs to know Blake's answer.

"And you Blake? Are you serious with her? Are you willing to cross the bridge when things get complicated?"

Blake's jaw clenches as he looks at Kira. A few moments later, he nods at her.

"Yes! Whatever comes, we'll handle it. It's our decision, Skye."

"Are you willing to face the wrath of Caspian and Cody?"

"Luna," Catleya says in a pleading tone. But Blake can never be seen bothered by Kira's words. Instead, he assures her that his intention with Catleya is genuine.

Therefore, Kira heaves a sigh before letting her worries come to pass.

"Fine! I don't want to make this a big deal, too. As long as you two are happy being together, that's what matters."

Catleya's face lightens up with Kira's response.

"Thank you, Luna."

"But I want you two to tell it to Caspian."

"We will." Says Blake, which of course surprises Catleya. She doesn't expect him to do that. But her heart delights by his response, so she smiles at him and Blake reciprocates.

Catleya suddenly realizes. "Anyway, why are you here? Did something happen?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

Blake seriously looks at Kira with lips tightly seal, while Catleya's mouth shapes in O upon hearing it.

Kira continues when she sees the two expectantly waiting for her next words.

"Alpha Valkan commanded his beta to check the downtown, looking for you."

Kira's eyes wander to Catleya.

"Me?? What does it have to do with me?"

Kira glances at Cierra before she continues. "The reason Cierra had asked you to babysit the twins was because of alpha Valkan."

"Wait- Hold up... I don't get it. And who's alpha Valkan that you're talking about?"

Catleya does not know about alpha Valkan and his beta's arrival until now because she wasn't in the assembly hall when Caspian asked for a meeting. Caspian excluded her for her protection as he knew alpha Valkan would highly likely choose his sister in case Alpha Valkan couldn't find his mate in the pack.

Alpha Valkan had a reputation to force the woman he liked to bring her with him if he couldn't find his mate in the pack he visited to. He would bribe the alpha of the pack he visited to let him take the woman he had his eyes on.

But Caspian wasn't like those alphas who could easily be bribed.

"Alpha Valkan is the alpha of the Dark Night Moon pack-"

"You mean the infamous alpha?" Catleya asks in wide eyes. She had heard about the Dark Night Moon pack and what their alpha was doing to every pack he went to.

"Yes! He was looking for you. Last night was not what we expected. If only Caspian told me of his plan to hide you, I would have helped him mitigate the risk of finding out about you."

"Wait- you mean you didn't know about it, too?" Blake curiously asks.

"Yes. I didn't know what Caspian was thinking. He had me occupied with some works to stop me from attending. Then, Cierra called me and told me about a fight that broke out, so I had to be there and checked the damage. Later on I found out alpha Valkan had heard about Catleya not in the field. Caspian told him she was on a trip, but alpha Valkan heard differently from the omegas. He somehow overheard the omegas conversation, and they had no choice but to tell him."

"You mean the alpha of Dark Night Moon, came all the way from the south to look for his mate and had gone mad when my brother lied to him about me?"

"Yes, Catleya." Cierra answers.

Therefore, their eyes are on Cierra this time.

"But that makes little sense to me! I mean, how can I be his mate when we haven't even met yet?!"

"No, that was not what she meant." Kira responds. "Cierra was trying to tell you that alpha Valkan would choose you and take you to his pack."

"Oh my- me? But how? I'm so confused..."

"Before the meeting, I and Caspian had welcomed him and his beta in the office, then alpha Valkan had seen a family photo and he saw you there. He asked if he could meet you or if you're in the village. Considering the way Alpha Valkan looked at your picture, Caspian instantly got mad. Luckily, I was there and was able to stop him before he could do something. And that's the reason Caspian told him you're on a trip. He didn't want you to be part of alpha Valkan's slave."

Blake growls by just hearing the last word.

"Now I get it. Blake didn't come here to help me with the twins, but to make sure I was okay? He's here for my security, wasn't it?"

"Well--- sorta... but I really wanted you to babysit my twins while me and Kent were in the field assisting the she-wolves and making sure no harm would happen to them. I knew you're the only one who could pacify them once they had tantrums. Sometimes, I was thinking if I was really their mother or it's you. They came out of me, but they're looking for you."

"Silly!" Catleya says, as she shakes her head at Cierra.

"Hahaha! Why? Don't you believe me?? When I told them yesterday that we're visiting you, they excitedly ran around the room and couldn't wait to be here."

Catleya gazes at the twins, who are still in deep slumber. "Well, they're cute, so I don't mind babysitting them."

That's what she liked about the twins, too. No one could wake them up, but themselves. Regardless how noisy their surroundings were.

"Aw, thank you, Cat."

"Skye, can I have a word with you?" Blake asks while Cierra and Catleya are talking.

"Sure!"

"Not here."

"Okay."

"Guys, we'll just be outside. And Cierra stay here."

"Yes, Luna."

As soon as Kira and Blake step outside of the room, Blake immediately asks.

"You said a fight broke out. Did you mean Caspian and alpha Valkan?-"

"Yes! We had two wounded she-wolves because of the attack. Alpha Valkan got so mad when he confronted Caspian about Catleya. He didn't like the answer Caspian had given him, so he attacked Caspian. But Caspian wouldn't be known as the great alpha, if he could just as easily be defeated by a mere haughty alpha. And unfortunately for alpha Valkan, Caspian fought back. We put alpha Valkan in a cage. But his beta was on the loose."

"On the loose??! But you just told us, alpha Valkan summoned him to look for Catleya."

"Yes, he did. I managed to get into alpha Valkan's mind when I got the chance to talk to him earlier. That was actually before I spoke to you through the link. However, I couldn't dig deeper of what their plans after searching for Catleya."

Suddenly, a loud bang startles both of them. It's the door!

"Someone is at the door." Kira says.

They instantly become cautious and stroll towards the door.

'Catleya, Cierra... don't come out! That's an order!' says Kira through their mindlink.

'Yes, Luna!'

Afterwards, Kira uses her wind power and goes outside without Blake notices it. When Blake turns back, he doesn't see Kira. He's alone in the living room.

He peeps through the window and sees Kira outside.

"What the-- Skye!"

Blake quickly unlocks the door and goes out to help Kira fight against the beta.

"How did you get out?!"

"Just like how I got inside the bedroom." Kira grins while fighting. They're mindlinking while fighting against the beta.

"You mastered your power?"

"Yep!"

In fact, she's just playing with the beta. She lets him hit her, but it doesn't do any damage on her, or hurt her.

"And you're just playing along right now??!"

Blake can't believe that Kira isn't serious. Somehow, he understands since he saw how Kira fought when Osiris attacked the pack.

"What do you think?"

"Hahaha! You're still unbelievable!"

Blake realizes Kira is just teasing the beta to check his capacity in fighting. So Blake does the same. He never takes the fight seriously and lets Kira handle it. He smirks as he steps back and just watches Kira and the beta fight.

"Alright! He's all yours. I think you have missed some actions."

"Oh, I sure am! Haha!"

"Hopefully, Caspian won't find out that you come here without him knowing."

"How do you know that?!"

Kira is surprised that Blake finds out.

"Do you think I wouldn't know? You said you managed to get into alpha Valkan's mind. That means you sneaked into his cage without Caspian. Caspian wouldn't want you to be near alpha Valkan in the first place. I know him. He's overprotective, and he didn't want you to be one of Valkan's prospects, too. For sure, Caspian is currently looking for you. And I know too well that you blocked him to stop him from finding your location."

"Bravo! You're still my Protector, Blake. You really know me. Hahaha!"

Blake just shakes his head as he dodges to avoid the beta's fist.

A few moments later, the beta notices that his attacks are useless, every time he hits Kira, it only bounces back to him. He wonders how it happens. He doesn't believe the hearsays about the Luna of Red Valley Moon pack. But now that he's fighting against her, the hearsays seem to be true.

The beta has no choice but to shift into his wolf. But shifting means a serious fight. So, Blake is intently watching the beta shifts into his wolf form while Kira remains in her human form.

"This is getting more interesting!"
