Growling, he said, "Leave now." He let his wolf take over, and his father had no other choice.
Aaron didn’t let out his wolf because he wanted to convince Eon as a father, not as an Alpha of the pack but it was unsuccessful. The hurt Eon has for him runs deep and it won’t be fixed by a sudden visit. Now, his only hope to change Eon’s mind is the guardian. If Eon’s wolf could develop a relationship with the guardian, Eon would be the perfect candidate to get the position of being an Alpha from him. He is his son, he’s capable—just mateless for his Luna died. But now, everything could change.
He slowly got up from the chair and walked to the door. “I’ll be back. Take care of the guardian.” He reminded him before he left.
Eon threw the thick red oak table to the end of the room and it slammed on the door, making the bookshelves shake in their hinges. The table didn’t break, not because it was sturdy but because his wolf controlled his strength. He likes his desk
Eon escaped the ongoing VIP party at Luna, went down to his private basement parking, and brought out one of his sports cars—the one the Lina likes. He chuckled wryly by himself and his laughter sounded strange in his own ears as it reverberated in the quiet parking lot. He no longer remembered when was the last time he laughed. And why does it matter if Lina likes the car he will use? It’s his damn car and he likes all of them, thus, it’s part of his collection. However, he still used the car that Lina likes in the garage. ***Since her landlady found out about her being good at painting she became lenient to the point of spoiling her, especially since she painted some of the blooms in the garden when she had nothing to paint. And when Beatrice saw the painting that she gladly gave her for free, her old landlady squealed in delight. Now, Lina can do basically anything in her apartment without her landlady checking on her. Like right now, she was playing s
The room spun and Lina lost her footing and she fell directly into Eon’s arms, but she couldn't say anything but make a sound because his mouth was on hers, stopping her from complaining—she wasn’t going to complain though. She even opened her mouth to accept Eon's scorching tongue and she had her arms circled around his neck. "What happened to your living room?" He asked when he lifted his lips from hers and he didn't find the couch in the living room. He scanned the room that was littered with unfinished canvas and opened a new tube of paint. "I don't have a living room," she said, creasing her brows. " I don't need a living room, my landlady has a beautiful garden." She pulled her arms off his neck and she was about to step away from Eon when he bent down and picked her up from the floor, carried her in his arms, and headed to her bedroom. "Hey! What are you doing?" “Carrying you.” His expression told her that question was a foolish one. The punch
Lina was out of breath and panting, yet, she couldn’t take a moment to stop to catch her breath. The red moon that adorned the night sky was simply breathtaking to stare but it didn’t do anything to light the ground she was running on. She felt a piece of wood break her skin when a dry tree branch that she stepped on broke; she flinched with the pain but she didn’t stop running. They are coming. She doesn’t know who or what they are but they are coming to get her. She had no idea how she knew but she simply followed her instinct. “Hah, hah,” she bent down, her hands pressed on her knees. Sweat pooled under her eyes and her forehead, hindering her eyesight, making it more difficult to run. She didn’t want to stop but her chest felt like it was going to burst. She was palpitating and shivering in fear of the unseen danger. She was about to straighten her back to run again when she heard a wild animal growling behind her and her body involuntarily shuddered in terror. “
“Lina, it would be difficult for me to not treat you nicely. For there is no reason for me to do otherwise.” He said his statement as gently as possible. Lina doesn’t have to say that she’s hurt. The pain was visible in her eyes and she didn't seem to realize it. He reached out to touch her but she recoiled like a wounded animal. Eon gritted his teeth in anger to whoever in the past broke her heart for her to be in such pain. “You’re not going to stay…that’s a reason enough for you not to treat me nicely.” She spat the words in disgust. Eon being rational just irked her because it would melt the invisible shield that she painfully put up all her life to protect her from getting hurt. She already made a mistake once in the past—lowering her defense and it ended up so badly, she has no idea how she would start over. She traveled far away from home to find herself but she just ended up getting more lost and confused than ever. Eon was taken aback and lost for words. [Te
She was giggling like a child with how Eon kept on nibbling her lips as if they were something that he couldn’t let go of. “Stop it already!” She pushed him away but it was useless since his hand was covering the small of her back, keeping her in place—no way to run away from him. “Please, stop it already.” She pursed her lips in annoyance but Eon just laughed and gave her a full-on kiss. “I gotta go, now.” Lina’s eyes flew open, she didn’t realize that Eon already stepped back, his hands were shoved deep down in his pockets, watching her with amusement and mischief for she still had her eyes closed, lips slightly parted because she thought Eon would still kiss her! ‘How embarrassing’ she shrieked in her head. “Tch, what an annoying little piece of…” She curled her lips in displeasure. “Go, and don’t come back!” She turned her back on him, letting him walk out of the door on his own. She was thinking about what flower in the garden she should draw today when
“I’m here because of your father!”‘Shit!’ Eon cursed to himself. He knew that having his best friend visiting him right after his father left wasn’t going to bring something that would make him happy. He exhaled a breath of irritation and got out of his car with the intention to cut his friend’s visit into a short one. He had no plan to invite him to the club either.“I know that look, Aegaeon. You’re already thinking of ways to kick me back to the mountains.” He laughed when Eon’s brows twitched in annoyance. “Nice to see you too, by the way.” His voice was laced with sarcasm. Coming here wasn’t really his choice. The city doesn’t appeal to him because he doesn’t like the feeling of being restricted. Not to mention, the air in this concrete jungle irritates the hell out of his nose.”“If it irritates your hound nose, why are you here? Go back to the moun
“Is this your daily life now?” Elyon yelled at the top of the blasting music of the club. Eon just smiled at his drunk friend. This is the first time that Elyon came to visit him that he invited him inside the club and let him have a taste of the nightlife. He easily got drunk, especially that women that Ehann asked to join them were too eager to please them that they had been crawling in their lap as if their legs were more comfortable than the leather couch. Eon has been busy, pouring Elyon some drinks not because he wanted to pour him a drink—the jerk can pour his own drinks, he was doing it because he was using it as an excuse to push the woman off his lap. These women appeared to have a hard time understanding that he wasn’t interested in any of them. They kept on rubbing their breast on his arm, sliding their slick fingers on his thighs, and shamelessly climbing on his lap. In the past, he didn't mind these women's advances, but after giving his words to Lina,
“Dear, I had been thinking if I could post the photos of the flowers that you drew to my social media.” Beatrice asked while Lina was weighing the flour that she needed for the bread that they were going to bake. Beatrice offered to teach her to bake as an exchange for drawing the flowers in her garden. They are in Beatrice’s kitchen learning the art of baking. The kitchen smells the aroma of freshly baked bread and cookies because they had been baking for hours. Lina wasn’t able to do what she was thinking of doing because Beatrice came to her apartment right after Eon left and asked her to come to her house. Now, it’s already past midnight and they are still in Beatrice kitchen baking bread. Beatrice told her that they are going to give away the bread to some homeless person not far from where they live, so she doesn’t have to worry about wasting anything. “Is this the last one?” She asked about the dough that she put inside the machine that would knead it.
