Chapter Eighteen

Sophie

I sat by my bed, starring at the strange paper that was left in my bed the other day. Is been three days and I was yet to get any word from the Shapeshifter demon, or whoever that dropped the paper. If it was really the Shapeshifter demon, why was he yet to threatened me, strike a negotiation, or even worst exposed me. Or had he simply dropped the paper to let me know my secret wasn't safe and I should watch my back.

Unable to make any further sense of why he hadn't showed up again, I tear the paper to pieces, it wasn't safe keeping something like this in my room, it would only implicate me if another eye were to see it. Just then my door was pulled open as I sucked in a sudden breathe, could he be the one.

Frozen in my spot, I starred at the door without even blinking, waiting for whoever opened it to enter in, and Know if my suspicions were correct. And oh he seemed to be really taking his god damn time, as he walked in ever so slow, his long sexy legs coming into view first, followed by his perfect abbs and broad chest, and finally his face. Oh shit, I covered my face in between my hands in embarrassment as heat rose to my cheeks, it wasn't the shapeshifter demon but my so called husband and Alpha, who just caught me drooling at him; Reece.

"There's no need to be shy wife you can uncover your face now". He whispered, as I looked up, struggling so hard to stop a blush from forming on my face.

"And why did you walk into my room like that, don't you know how to knock.". I hissed, earning as chuckle from him as he ambled closer, and sat by the edge of my bed.

"You know sometimes I don't get you. Or are you simply jealous I have been paying more time to my work rather than to you".

I blinked confused. Don't get me. Jealous. Paying time to work. Wait was his crazy.

"Why are you in my room Reece". I growled, as he jaw clenched, and he instantly reached for my wrists yanking it harshly.

"Didn't I warn you never to call me by name". He growled, as my blood boiled.

"Let go of my hand this instant, I'm not your toy. Besides I thought the rules weren't valid any more".

"You really love to open your mouth right. How about I teach that mouth of yours a lesson". He snarled, as I starred blankly at him, trying to remind myself of how much I hated him and why I wasn't supposed to be admiring him, or finding his touch comforting. Gosh, I felt disgusted by myself, why was I suddenly feeling all this weird sensations. In a blink, I gathered all my strength and wolf strength as I pulled my arm away from his harsh grip. And instantly regretted the rough action, as my wrists began bleeding.

"Here, let me see it". He snapped, pulling back my arm, but this time his touch was much softer.

'Gosh your just so stubborn'. He mumbled under his breath, as he released his hold on me and ambled to my cupboard where the comprehensive guide on how to seduce any man layed.

Panic instantly raised in my chest. "What are you looking for, there's nothing they". I rasped, and much to my relief, he doesn't even pay attention to the book but simply opens the cupboard and brings out a first aid box, as he strode back to me.

"Your arm". He commanded, and I knew I didn't have much of a choice.

He dipped a little fragment of cotton wool into a bottle of spirit as he rubbed gently around my wrists, repeating the process a second and third time until I lost count, his gaze never leaving my arms while he tended to me.

"I hope your wrists feels better now". He rasped, pulling a way from me.

"I'm a wolf, with fast healing abilities either way it would have healed".

"It was supposed to be a thank you". He stated as I chuckled.

Wait did I just chuckle at something Reece, my enemy said. Geez I had to get a hold of my self.

"You look prettier when you chuckle". He mumbled, causing my eyes to widen as I chuckled for the second time. Fuck myself.

He slowly closes the distance between us, trailing his hands along my face, my cheek bone, and collar bone.

"W....what are you doing". I snapped, as he instantly seemed to regain consciousness, running a hand through his hair, before creating some distance between us. My heart instantly panged, at the distance. Freaking wolf hormones.

"I came to inform you about your Luna Ceremony. It will be taking place seven days from now". He rasped, as a suddenly nervousness hugged my chest. What did a Luna Ceremony even imply. As if reading my thoughts he began.

"A Luna Ceremony is a tradition always performed whenever a new Luna has emerged. You will be required to wear the traditional Luna gown worn by the previous Luna's, and some rituals will be performed on you. It will also make our bond grow stronger and serve as a medium for you to be introduced to the entire pack, after which you will be expected to start performing your duties as Luna, which includes being responsible for the women and children of the pack".

"That sounds like alot". I say honestly, as he smiled warmly.

"The Ceremony no? The Luna duties? Yes it is a whole lot, but that's why I'm here, and believe me you have absolutely nothing to worry about".

He mumbled, as my gaze remained firm on him. Every single time, he just kept doing things that made me wonder if he was different from the man I had longed come to hate, but then, I remember how he hated my parents, had threatened to kill them, and even if he didn't, he lied about them collecting a loan from him, and stealing my inheritance.

Maybe if I didn't know all this I would have fallen for his act and thought different of him, but I knew him, he was Reece; the enemy, my enemy, and after he had helped me avenged my parents death, I was going to see to it that I ruined him completely, for if he were the one in my shoes I know he would do same.
