CHAPTER SEVEN: MY DECISION

Kaile's pov

I left Eve's room to mine worry-stricken. I felt anger boil from within me, does she have to pass through all this? My mind flashed back to the man who wanted to have something with her. I reversed my step to my seat in the main hall. Not disappointed, I met him on his knees with his hands tied behind him. I smirked dangerously as I walked towards him. I am going to get my revenge on touching Eve. Eve? Am I been possessive? Anyhow it looks like, I'm not. I took my sit slowly my eyes on the man all through. As if the man senses the boiling anger from me, he bowed his head in regret. It is too late.

“Young man, look at me.” I commanded with disgust. He was still battling with himself.

“I won't repeat myself.” I warned. This time he met my eyes but not for long. If looks could kill, he probably might have been dead.

“Are you not one of the servant I put in charge to guide her door?” His face looks familiar. Is he one of them? I am more infuriated when he nod his hess in response. With anger, I hit him on his face.

“You're not dumb so I need you to reply me bastard.” I gushed out.

“Y…yes, Alpha. I…I am one of the guard asked to keep the lady safe.” 

“So, what are you trying to do there? Who sent you to her?” I need to know.

“No one, A…Alpha. No one sent me.”

“So?” I asked impatiently.

“I have no excuse to give, Alpha.” 

This is it. My patience has reached its limit.

“Behead him and feed him to the vultures.” I ordered one of the guard. He hurried off to carry out the order, no one was ready to face my wrath. I stepped gingerly out of my seat then I remembered, I've not told Eve about the mating occasion I am invited to. I plan to take her along. Should I go to her now? What will be her reaction? I feel anxious. Nevertheless, I have to give it a try. Her back was turned to the wall when I came in noiselessly. I moved closer to her cautiously not wanting to scare her but it seems I was wrong. She turned towards me as a gasp escaped her lips. I scared her. Due to the shock, she fell backwards but I was not so late, I caught her in my arms trapping her between myself and the wall. My eyes caught hers before sliding down to her moist chin, set nose and kissable lips. Unconsciously, my eyes lingered there savoring the sight of her lips. This is not the time yet. I settled her very well on the ground before clearing my throat. She looks lost as well but who knows what she is thinking of. 

“Uhm…it seems I scared you, sorry about that. I just wanted to say something to you.” I said looking at her but her eyes is not meeting mine. Is she shy? Is she feeling guilty? I shrugged. It's none of my business.

“It's fine. I'm all ears.” Her voice sounds sonorous in my ear. I chuckled silently when I notice that she does not want to sit.

“I got an invitation to attend a mating ceremony and I want you to attend it with me.” The shock on her face did not escape my notice. The expression on her face is one in a million. She nod her head in disbelief still looking at me.

“What is it?”

“You really want to do this? I mean take me along?”

“Yes, do you have something against it?”

“Hmmm…I…I don't think I'm fit to accompany you to the ceremony. I'm just someone you saved from the wolves.”

“That doesn't mean. I dictate what goes on hear.”

“About that…I don't have what to put on.” I realize that she is just bringing up excuses just to make me give up on the idea of her following me but I'm not ready to give up. She is following me.

“I will provide that, Eve.” I sound convincing. An expression flashed through her face. Is it because I called her name? This is for another time. She is to follow me.

“So what do you say about this now?” I ask quietly. To my surprise, my heart is beating in anticipation.

“Hmmm…i will accompany you.”

The joy I feel right now is something estatic. I breath in relief nodding my head gratefully.

“That's good. I will send you a dress before the end of today.” I say trying not to look anxious, eager or happy. From a corner of my eye, I see her nod. Inwardly happy, I walked with satisfaction to my room then the smile on her face froze when I see Reuben sitted on my bed with his feet crossed waiting from me.

“What are you doing here man?” I really hope this is not what I'm thinking. The look on his face is not even friendly.

“Where are you coming from, Kaile? Don't tell me you went to meet Eve? Don't you think this suspicious? The both of you getting close if recent.”

“Sigh…there is nothing to worry about.” I try reassuring him.

“There is nothing to be worried about? This is not you, Kaile. What is wrong? Wait! Don't tell me you're planning to take her along with you to the mating ceremony…” I can feel disappointment in his voice but what I decide on doing is what I will do. I'm as stubborn as he is.

“I'm taking her along. I don't see a problem in that.”

“Geez… you should not do this. This lady is stylishly entering your life. This particular name has caused you a pain earlier. You want this allover again?”

“Reuben, rest assured, nothing bad is going to happen. I can handle it.”

“That's all you say. You can handle it! You can handle it!! That's all you sY. Let's see how well you can handle it. Don't forget I warned you before hand. You better have a rethink about this.” He conclude before leaving the room. I sigh in despair, Reuben is angry and concerned but about what exactly? Am I really going to reject my decision?
