Farkas' low grunt sent shivers to my spine. I swallowed hard again. He then looked at me, which made me bite my lip. He sighed, his face suddenly softened while he was looking at me. I felt the bolts of electricity running through my veins because he suddenly held my hand.
"I need you safe," he said and without even waiting for my reply, he quickly grabbed my hand and got me out of there.
I was speechless that even though I was hearing a lot of shouting from the surroundings, I wasn't able to focus on what's happening. The next thing I knew, I was already inside a room and as I roamed my eyes around, I realized that I was not in the room that he gave me! I was in his room, the master's bedroom! What the heck!
My mouth parted in shock. What the hell! I looked around to see the surroundings and when I saw a big window, I immediately went near it. From there, I could clearly see the people on the field. They were in defense mode as if they were trying to stop whoever was trying to get in the pack.
My eyes widened as my heart beat went rapidly. Damn. I was witnessing a battle. I have never watched such ever since because we were always kept in the dark whenever that happens. Only the warriors, the alpha, and other members of his trusted group are in the frontline. Plus, it has been years since there was an actual battle in the realm.
I looked around, trying to spot Farkas. I gulped hard when my eyes finally laid on him on the frontline. He was very much different… It was like I was looking at a total opposite alpha, the alpha that I have always been told of ever since. He was that ruthless alpha at that moment. From where I was standing, I could see the raging fire in his eyes. It was very different from the way he was looking at me since he found me in that forest.
I couldn't help but be in awe as I carefully waited for their next move. I kept my eyes on them even though my b***h of a wolf was nagging me to hell about her wanting to get out of here already. Huh! Dumb b***h. She wanted us to get out of here in the middle of a starting battle. Gosh! I don't want to die!
I rolled my eyes as I gripped the hem of my shirt. My heart was pounding so fast already. f**k. I was so damn nervous! I looked around the field again and I was in awe even more when I noticed that it seemed like all of the members of the pack were there, getting ready. The urge to go down and check if there was anyone in the house was so tempting but the fear of being caught in battle was stronger, so I opted not to follow the urge.
I closed my eyes for a minute before I gulped hard. I stepped away from the big window, slowly calming myself. I let out a sigh again as I roamed my eyes around the room. I bit my lip as I felt my face heating up. My eyes settled on his king-sized bed in the middle. Slowly, I walked towards it and settled down on the edge of the bed.
I pressed my lips together and placed my hands on both sides. I closed my eyes, trying to absorb what was happening and trying to calm my raging self as well. Damn it. I think I need to rethink my life decisions already. f**k.
I stayed in that position for a while as I waited for some action from outside, but then I haven't really heard sounds of swords or growls. My forehead creased and I almost jumped on my seat when the enormous door swung open. I immediately looked in that direction with my eyes widened in shock.
Farkas was half-running towards me. His eyes were full of worry and his face was back to his soft and gentle form again, very different from his expression earlier…
"I-is everything alright?" I managed to say as I swallowed hard. I stood, and he stopped in front of me. He gave me a tight smile.
"Yes. No need to worry. The rogues didn't pursue. My men outside defeated them before they could even get into the barricade."
I blinked multiple times. "Ohh… there were more warriors outside?" I felt like an i***t for even asking that! But I think it was my instinct to just throw out the first question that came up in my mind no matter how useless it was.
He smiled again and just nodded. I quickly avoided his gaze and heaved a deep sigh. Bolts of electricity traveled through my spine again when Farkas held my hand.
I didn't look at him.
"I know this isn't the right time to ask this and I know that what happened earlier might have scared you…but I just want to know your decision whether to stay in my pack or not…"
I never thought I would be this nervous upon hearing that question from him. I couldn't look at him because I felt like a cat got my tongue. I mean this should be easy right? The logical and right thing to do is to leave Shadowstone! It's not my goal to transfer to another pack. I just left because I was hurt… oh my, I haven't even thought of my mate who rejected me already!
What the hell… and why am I hesitating? Why do I feel like I didn't want to leave…
"Have you decided?" Farkas asked again. Still I couldn't look at him. I felt like my mouth just went dry…
Silence covered both of us. I don't know how long was that before he spoke again. "You could use another day."
That's when I had the courage to look up to him.
"R-really?" I asked, still couldn't believe his offer.
He just smiled and tousled my hair. "Yeah…"
