Meredith.
I was for a fact, so furious as I walked back towards the house.
I have never felt so embarrassed in a long time, but this morning, Draven made me feel that way.
I knew it in my heart like I knew my name that he must have found out about my pheromones. He had smelt me otherwise, what better reason explains how he suddenly appeared behind me and asked me what I was doing there.
He had looked angry when he instructed that I returned to my room immediately.
There was no valid reason he would have been so mad to see me at the training grounds apart from the fact that my pheromones were waxing strong in the atmosphere, and would become a disaster to the warriors.
It was all the moon goddess’ fault.
"I hope you are feeling ashamed that one of your hand made plans has shown how flawed you are," I muttered under my breath, briefly glancing towards the sky.
I was so mad at the moon goddess that my heat completely disappeared. From feeling needy and a pool in my nether region, that flush from my arousal, has turned to anger.
"My lady," Azul’s voice forced my attention back.
Her brows drew in closer with a hint of concern.
"You look... Furious. Did you meet anyone?"
I briefly glanced at her before walking ahead, but in no time, her steps fell into place with mine.
"Is there anyone else in this estate capable of angering me except Draven?"
Azul flinched, her gaze widening in shock. Her eyes quickly looked around us before darting back to me.
"My lady, you can’t talk about the Alpha in that manner. It’s not good."
Like hell I care about how anyone perceives my choice of words, especially towards their Alpha.
As far as I was concerned, I was free to express my anger.
Draven could have been gentle even if he felt my actions were wrong. But no! He chose to be brutal and honest.
And just when I was starting to consider this good side of him that I had seen and experienced within twenty-four hours, he proved me wrong in just one minute.
Sure enough, he couldn’t hide his bad character for a few days.
I didn’t respond to Azul’s statement. I didn’t need to. And she did know better than to continue on that topic.
She silently followed me back towards the house and into my quarters where Draven had made sure I knew I belonged.
Towards noon, I had lunch and took a long nap.
Now, it was 4 PM and time for my driving lessons with Dennis. And I couldn’t wait to meet him because I needed to talk to him about his brother.
I must have been so affected by his sudden change in character that I had to see him in my dream, terrorising me.
I felt that venting to Dennis would help cam mind.
"Kira, I need something flexible from my closet for my driving lessons," I said, entering my small sitting area to see Cora and Arya doing the laundry.
Azul was nowhere in site, including the Kira I was looking for.
It was Deidra who walked in from the bathroom to answer my call.
"My lady, you are awake." She smiled as she reached me.
"Kira is not here," I said before quickly making my request. "I need something comfortable from my closet for my driving lessons this evening."
As soon as I said that, I saw Deidra’s smile instantly vanish.
"My lady, you don’t have any lessons with the Alpha’s brother today."
I lifted a questioning brow. Then she sighed before explaining things to me.
It turned out that Dennis had stopped by while I was napping to inform my maidservants that our driving lessons had been postponed to next week.
"Did he gives his reasons?" I inquired.
Dennis wouldn’t just cancel on me like that. Though I haven’t known him for too long, he had proven to be more reliable than his Alpha brother.
"He said the Alpha has intensified training for all the warriors. They were all to train morning and night for five days.
Of course, Draven had to be involved in sabotaging my plans.
I found myself returning to my bedroom and sinking into my bed.
A deep sigh escaped my lips.
Now, I was back to being bored out of my mind.
I didn’t know how my evening was going to pass without me losing my mind, so, I thought of watching the TV.
Ever since that day Duskmoor made a suggestive news report about us, I stopped watching the TV. But today, I wasn’t left with much choice.
---
It’s been over five minutes since I turned on the TV and tried different channels before settling for the fashion station, yet, I couldn’t get my head off Draven.
If only I had a wolf, I would have asked her why that was so, because the man in question had offended me.
And if I was to think about him, it was to plan how to deal with him brutally, and not in the obscene way my head was making it out to be.
I think my heat rising earlier than expected has to be attributed this fact.
I couldn’t wait for night time to reach before drinking a glass of the concoction. But a minute later, I rushed into the bathroom to throw it all up.
Azul had to rush in after me seeing the lightening speed left my bedroom in.
She gathered my hair gently with her hands and pushed it away from my face.
"My lady, are you okay?"
I slowly nodded. Then she helped me up to my feet.
"You are burning up," she said softly as she released my hand before placing the back of her hand on my forehead. "It seems like you might be having a fever."
I didn’t reply to her until I was done rinsing my mouth three times.
"I don’t think I can make it to dinner this night," I managed to say to her in-between rash breaths.
