The CEO's body tensed as his firm grip around me faltered for a brief second. While my head spun due to lack of understanding, the CEO seemed to have mellowed significantly following that very abstract reasoning that Mr. Penson gave him. "And besides that, an integral issue was brought to light as a result of today's events", Mr. Penson stated solemnly. The CEO immediately turned serious as a frown made its way to his handsome face. "It's about the territorial..." Mr. Penson's voice trailed off as though he had meant to do that intentionally and the CEO's eyes widened in what appeared to be shock. Suddenly both the men went deathly quiet, and the silence that descended was so heavy that I could almost hear the levers in my brain moving as they tried to make some sense out of their intangible conversation. There was a certain he, who was in the forest, and he was apparently very reliable when it came to someone's, or in this instance, my safety, and this he was, for some incomprehensible reason, 'a part of the CEO', and Mr. Penson was besotted with him and then some random gibberish about a territorial issue HOW DID ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE?! I looked up at the CEO in confusion to find him staring unblinkingly at Mr. Penson. His eyes seemed glazed over, like a person's become when they are in deep deep thought. Frowning I turned to Mr. Penson only to find him wearing an almost identical expression, much to my puzzlement. My head turned from one man to the other before I finally understood that I understood nothing! I didn't think there was anything about random stare downs in the instructions I was explained this morning? Speaking of instructions, where was Mr. Talon? Trying my luck, I gently pushed myself away from the CEO and surprisingly enough his grip loosened. Taking that as my chance I wiggled out of his grasp and put as much distance between us as was possible in that short second. But before I could celebrate my small victory, an excruciating searing pain shot through my right leg all the way up to my thigh and a strangled cry escaped my lips. The pain became unbearable and I squeezed my eyes shut as my knees buckled under me. And yet again, I was falling Just before my body collided with the hard ground underneath, a shrill nasal scream filled the air, drowning out all other sounds. "LUNA!!!" In a flash two strong arms came around me, one going around my back and the other under my knees and I was lifted into the air as if I weighed no more than a measly feather. Familiar tingles erupted everywhere; they felt like fireworks exploding all over my body, and somehow I immediately knew that I was in the CEO's arms. The pain was numbed almost instantly, only to be replaced by waves of warmth and strange incomprehensible power. Luna... My heart went into overdrive and an involuntary gasp escaped my lips. I squeezed my eyes shut as some new feeling overwhelmed my senses. My vision blurred. My ears started to ring. I felt giddy. I rested my head against the CEO's chest, letting the earthy scent of wet soil quieten my turbulent senses and breathed deeply, trying to calm my wild heart. Luna... I could hear familiar voices speaking to me, but I couldn't understand a word. The waves of that unknown feeling had passed and I suddenly felt very tired, as though a huge responsibility had been placed on my shoulders. All of a sudden a loud howl filled my head, just like last night when I had gone to the roof, muffling the ringing in my ears. Immediately the huge dark wolf I had encountered earlier flashed in my mind and the howling grew louder. It echoed in my mind over and over again, resonating throughout my body. Luna... I started hearing random bits and pieces of conversations I had heard today. "Good morning Ms. Winters" "What is your full name?" "Wolves, are there any where you are from?" "I'm-hah s-so sorry sir, but he- the, the Alpha-" "I, Zuerien Kai Royale-" "Do you want to die?" My head spun, my eyes felt heavy, my vision alternated from darkness to light and then back to darkness. "To confirm a certain suspicion of mine" "Mate!" "then explain all the uncharacteristic spacing out Mr. 'she is not my-' dot dot dot" "The kingdom needs only me" "-The Alpha Supreme, reject you-"
