Chapter 4: Secretive man

Dessy

I quickened my pace to catch up with Lucas' big steps. This is really typical of him, while walking with his hands in both pockets, he really has giant steps.

For me to tell what I wanted to say, I just tried to reach out to touch his arm. He looked like a robot when he faced me, but I didn't wait for him to ask what my purpose was, I spoke, "I'm not going back to Adam."

He simply pulled his arm out of my grasp then responded, "I won't take you to Adam." My brows knitted, I wanted to ask more but he already answered, "I just want Lira to be jealous." He turned his back on me and continued walking but he also kept talking, "Maybe we don't get everything we want, she should learn about that."

I stopped and thought about what he said. My mind automatically asked, 'is he saying that Lira doesn't deserve to be Adam's mate? I mean she deserves it but is there a chance that Adam won't end up with Lira?' But why am I asking?

I shook my head and continued walking when Lucas faced me and said, "I thought you followed me, I'm talking alone here."

I looked away, as if he was blaming me to his shame but it wasn't my fault though. If he wants his saliva not to be wasted, he should look around first whether anyone is listening to him or not, but since he has a higher rank compared to me, I'm not in a position to say that.

I just whispered, "I'm sorry..." When I stopped in front of him and asked as well, "And where are we going if not to Adam?"

He opened the car door for me and replied, "Since I'm too lazy to explain, just don't ask. Let's just say, I'll take you to a private place. Now, get in."

I stared at him for a moment, and I wanted to ask a question but he already said a warning so I have no choice but to get in the car. When I sat inside and felt the impact of the loud thud as he closed the door, I just looked outside to observe the Arcanum Academy.

Honestly, I'd rather study in a school where omegas belong, of course at least, in that school, I don't have anyone to run to, just to not get hurt. I'm tired of the she-wolves confronting me every day because of Adam.

Lucas started the car's engine and me... I let myself sway as it ran. Since he didn't say where he was going to take me, I just observed the surroundings we were passing by. I don't want to protest anymore since what he is doing is in my favor; he can keep me away from Adam for me to relax from the stress.

Lucas doesn't like to talk unless someone asks him a question. He is the man who is suitable for the definition of, 'quite as a snowflake' or 'secretive' since he is lazy to explain, but it is better if I describe him as boring to be with. Well, his answer to my question earlier that I didn't hear the rest of what he said, maybe it was just a bonus.

He suddenly popped up in my bubble when he declared, "We're here!" I automatically looked around and noticed that we seemed to be in the middle of the forest with a wide field visible at the end. It looks like a golf club but I know it's also a training field. It looks like a far from any pack.

The car shook as he got out and quickly turned around to where I was sitting. He opened the door as I automatically went out to look around. I don't know what this place is called especially since I'm not familiar with it.

Before I could ask, he spoke, "Dad is waiting for you..." I quickly looked into his green eyes as he went on, "...He has something important to do... to tell? To show?" He shook his head, still emotionless. "Well, I have no idea, so don't ask."

I clenched my fist when he closed my rights for questioning again. I just took a deep breath and said, "You always closed the book of our conversation and your automatic answer that 'you don't know anything' makes my mouth shut, I have no choice but to tie my tongue and don't ask anymore."

He didn't even react to what I said, and put his hands in his pocket while saying, "Follow me."

I lazily shuffled my feet to follow behind him but that laziness gradually eluded me when I saw the Alpha of the Multa Lupus pack and the Alpha King of the Arcanum pack—Adam's father.

Lucas spoke in front of his father, "She's here." Like a robot, he left there and looked for a place to sit.

I was very grateful earlier because he took me away from Adam, I didn't expect that he would take me to a place where I don't know how to move anymore. The aura of the two Alphas in front of me, staring at me, was intimidating especially that I feel like I'm melting into the red eyes of the Alpha King.

It took me a long time to react, I honestly, didn't know how to greet them. I'm confused about bowing my head, or should I just greet them with, 'good day, Alphas?' It's not inappropriate but I feel it's too lame.

They just looked at me as if waiting for me to act, to say, to smile? The Alpha King was sitting on the monobloc chair and the Alpha of the Multa Lupus pack stood up—Lucas' father—he approached me and just as he stopped in front of me, the words came out of my mouth, "I don't know why I'm here, Alphas."

I can't describe his reaction. His brows scrunches up a little like he's confused, questioning and looking at Lucas but when he faces me, he's smiling. He spoke, "I understood why Lucas didn't say anything to why you're here. Well..." He spread his hands and glanced at the sky and looked at me again. "I know your father has already taught you something. I think, he is done with his obligation to you about teaching, and me, being your mentor now, let's just think of this as your promotion."

I gulped down the lump in my throat. I was confused by what he said causing me to point out what I wanted to ask, "My father seriously taught me nothing but martial arts. Is this what you are referring to, Alpha?"

I wanted to back away from him when he raised his hand and touched my mound. I just held back my feet from doing that and listened to what he said, "Since your birthday is coming up, it's time to prepare you for what you have to face."

The word "Huh?" automatically came out of my mouth.
