Episode 5: An Alfarro

Episode 5: An Alfarro

“Forget it,” He murmured, grabbing my hand as he walks away.

“What’s with my hand? Why are you dragging me?” I complained but he did not answer. He walks faster and faster like he’s chasing someone which I do not understand why he needs to take my hand. My forehead creased as I let my legs follow him until we reached a cliff.

                 The edge of the cliff that boasts the best place to see such scenery, a smile suddenly was painted on my lips unrestrained. I stepped closer at the cliff’s furthermost part and stretched out my arms. The full moon seems to draw really close that I can touch even the glow it possesses, sceneries like these makes my heart finds its calmness. So silent and peaceful that if I close my eyes, I couldn’t explain the way it feels appeasing.

“Did I get the right timing?” Diego’s voice echoed in my head. Turning back to where he stands a while ago, I saw how he turned into his wolf form while walking towards me. His dusky fur and his stance with those intimidating eyes quickly captured my gaze, he stood by my side and let me leaned on his soft cushion-like fleece while returning my eyes back to the scenery ahead of me.

“I’m not surprised. Who told you to bring me to this place?” I answered with my mind.

“Your words contradict your actions, why is it so hard for you to just say thank you?”

“Because I am not that kind of person. I talk when it’s the time, I reply when it is needed, and I deny when I want to.”

“And you are the kind of woman who hides your true identity behind all of that.”

                        I glanced at him for a while and reclined against him as I close my eyes and let the cold air run through. “Because I have to. And if ever I did, I may be dead then I am not here by your side this time.” He didn’t answer. I smiled, keep my eyes shut and let time pass by. I don’t understand why do I even let an enemy stand beside me unguarded. If others are the ones I'm with, I could be killed in an instant.

“Where are you taking me this time?” I asked as my eyes opened. He was carrying me on his back while he walks through the sirha stones pavement, and where the jid did he got his clothes from?

“To bed perhaps, you suddenly fall asleep when you carelessly leaned on me and offered your body.”

                     My face reddens to sudden topic but I quickly retrieved my composure and let out a smug smile. Is this guy trying to tease me? Let’s see whose much more excellent in this kind of art. “Then why am I still clothed?”

“Do you want something to happen?”

“I wouldn’t let you hold me this close if I don’t want to,” I gaspingly murmured behind his ears and in an instance, he pinned me down a soft mattress.

“Tell me what do you want?” He breathed as his lips directed on my neck. His hands detaching every single tiny clamp on the metallic armor covering my body. I snickered back and let him do his thing but the moment he could touch a fabric on my body, I seized his hand roaming freely all over me making his head rise and look me in the eyes with both of his eyebrows raised then creased.

“I still haven’t answered your question, why are you heading straight?”

“I don’t need to wait for your reply when you’re tolerating me to do this thing.” His lips again started to maunder like he owns everything of it. Then here again my body opposing my mind, I wanted to get away but I can’t command my body that seems like drowning in this lustful desire. My hands suddenly clutched on to his neck and bring myself closer to him. Seems like almost all of me has been completely tempted to him and couldn’t even stop.

                    But my body fell in disappointment when he suddenly paused, the moment he reached down the peak. Diego didn’t even turn around to face me, he stood up and pulled over his shirt as he walked away. My lips couldn’t utter even a single word in astonishment as I watch him leave the room like nothing happened.

“Lock the room, no one shall leave nor enter without my permission,” Diego commanded in an authoritative manner to someone he was talking with behind the closed doors. The next thing I heard was the clutching of chains and the sound of barriers locking the door.

                    My forehead creased, still in confusion. What could be the possible reason of him leaving instantaneously? I wrapped myself with the quilt from the bed and walked closer to the opened veranda. There I saw a carriage heavily guarded, my eyes narrowed as I fixed my gaze to whom that special guest is. Diego’s appearance didn’t escape my stares when he suddenly gushed out of the mansion door and kneeled down with one foot in front of the carriage’s door which triggers my curiosity more.

                    I quickly put on clothes that my hands can grab and swiftly leaped down the terrace to a lower roof to have a closer look. And to my surprise, my eyes widened when that someone who sits inside that carriage suddenly stepped out revealing his familiar stance. I held the dagger that Diego had left in my hand and tightly attacked forward. All my anger bursts out and my teeth gritted even more as I saw his face. He is that man who killed my family, that Alfarro who had slaughtered the entire Sinandaya territory. I must kill him and avenge—

“Assassin!” a shout coming out from the guards surrounding that man but before they could even attack, a grey wolf suddenly leaped in the air pinning me down the ground. It was Diego who is staring at me blankly and let out a word.

“What are you doing?”

“Are you gonna stop me?” My hands clenched tighter and the dagger draw nearer to his furry neck, I gave him a menacing look.

“Back out, you stay away and don’t you even dare take action what you have in mind.”

                      His words irritated me even more that I forcefully shove him away but he didn’t let me go. He growled instead that his beta suddenly came which makes me let out a grin, “It’s because he is your father, then protect him as you can. Just do not let your sight get away from me or else… his head will be the only thing that will be left.” He kept those blue eyes directed on mine before my surrounding became hazy until my eyelids unanticipatedly shut down. The last thing I felt were warm hands wrapped around me and that my feet was lifted above the ground.

“This is a sudden surprise.”

“But she’s different, is this even possible?”

“As much as I want to interfere, there was nothing more I can do.”

“She’s a vampire, our Luna comes from the enemy’s side. Pathetically chaotic if this spread out all over the entire pack.”

                 Voices, talking people who were standing behind the half-closed door of the room I’m in. Can it be that their brains were at the bottom of their soles? Don’t they know that their voices were clearly heard? Or are they purposely talking loudly? My eyes rolled as I tried to get rid of the shackles tied on my hand. I was in a bed when I woke up with bronze chains on both of my ankles and wrists.

“You two,” I spoke, calling out their attention which they both heard of course that they casually walked inside. A man and a woman, the one was Diego’s Beta and this hazel haired girl might be his fling.

“What do you need?” the girl asked wryly as she steps closer.

                   My lips smiled as I opened my lips, “Give me something to eat.” I intentionally flared my eyes in red and revealed my fangs which caused her eyes to widen in terror as she quickly run away behind Cedric, the Beta.

“Vampires are disgusting! Let’s get out of here!”

                    I simply raised a brow to her and shifted my gaze to Cedric. “Call your vacuum-headed Alpha. Tell him if he didn’t come in less than a minute, I’ll kill that girl beside you,” I commanded indolently which he just laughed at.

“You’re the first creature who called him like that.”

“What? All of you looks up to him like he’s that golden, don’t you werewolves not aware of how airheaded Diego is?”

“Who’s airheaded?”

                   The wooden door banged open as He walked inside. I lazily faced him with my hair tied messy high, “How dare you chain me.”

“Out, both of you,” Diego authoritatively ordered the two who quickly turned their way to the exit with Cedric’s face painting a sly smile as he closed the door slowly.

“Unchain me, now.”

                   Diego’s jaw clenched as his hands unshackling those chain in my wrists. As soon as he successfully removed one, I swiftly aimed at his neck and dug my fangs in.
