Chapter 11

By the time Nyra got outside the packhouse, the other alphas that were standing beside Keldon were gone. He was just standing there by himself.

She just glanced at him and walked towards the car pack when she heard Keldon calling out for her.

“Nyra wait!” Keldon approached her slowly after she stopped.

“Where are you heading out to?”. He asked as soon as he got to where Nyra was.

“To the beach”. Nyra answered. She wanted to go to the beach to cool down. She has experienced so many emotions today and she needed to relax.

“Let me go with you, I need to wind off too”. Keldon smiled. This might be the perfect time to ask her what he intended to ask.

“You have a car. Why are you clinging to me?” Nyra said tiredly. She really wanted to be alone.

“It saves time and resources” Keldon said awkwardly. Why was she so against him coming with her. On a normal day she would have very pleased.

“Since when did you care about saving so much?”. Nyra looked at him as she cried inwardly. Why can’t he take the hint and just buzz off.

“I do now. Let’s go, don’t think too much about it” Keldon said as he walked passed her towards her car.

“This is blatant bullying” Nyra whined behind him.

“Is it?” Keldon asked while smiling.

“Yes!” Nyra exclaimed.

Keldon chuckled loudly after hearing the frustration in her tone. Seems like she really wanted him gone.

Inside the car, it was silent except for the slow and relaxing song that was playing from the radio.

Keldon felt that the atmosphere was awkward as Nyra just sang along with the song that was being played calmly without glancing at him. Or maybe he was the one feeling awkward as he was preparing to ask her about Xylon.

“Are you interested in Xylon?” Keldon asked after carefully processing his words.

“That’s impossible!” Nyra said immediately she heard Keldon’s question. She felt as if that was the funniest question she has heard today.

“What?” Now it was Keldon’s turn to be surprised. Then why was she searching for him excitedly earlier?

“I said it’s impossible. He is not serious when it comes to relationships”. Nyra answered slowly. It’s a fact that everyone knows of. Why would she willingly plunge into heartache? Her feelings are precious.

“Then why were you looking for him earlier?” Keldon asked the question that has been bugging him. It was puzzling.

“I had an important question to ask him” Nyra explained. Then she realized something. Does that mean Henrik and Wallace thought she was interested in Xylon too? She covered her face with her right palm in embarrassment.

She wouldn’t stoop so low as to be interested in Xylon though his looks are top-tier, she would have to share him with other females if she ever made that decision. It was stupid of her to consider it.

Back at the pack house, Xylon was sitting at the long dining table, wolfing down his meal when he sneezed. He quickly grabbed a glass of water beside him, his food nearly went down the wrong throat.

He patted his chest slowly as he wondered, ‘who is talking bad about me behind my back?’. He shook his head as he continued eating.

Inside the car, Keldon was still puzzled. Why then was she so sad when she discovered that he left, and it made her so happy when she learned that he was in the packhouse.

“You have a phone, why didn’t you place a call to him?” Keldon asked.

“Oh right! I forgot” Nyra sighed. She should have simply called him to asked him. That would have saved her more time and saved her from embarrassment. She was too excited to think properly.

Keldon was not convinced, he felt like she was just disguising. He decided to drop the question but continue paying close attention to her.

Nyra glanced at Keldon and smiled. His expression simply read ‘I don’t believe you’ She snickered “It’s okay if you don’t believe me”.

“No, I believe you” Keldon shook his head, he doesn’t believe himself either. He was just going to continue watching her.

Nyra nodded her head. Then she looked at Keldon “Why didn’t stop me when I ran to Xylon’s room?” She wasn’t going to believe that he doesn’t know that he was in the middle of having sex.

“I tried to stop you” Keldon said while laughing. He felt second-hand embarrassment towards Nyra’s plight.

“Why are you laughing? It’s not funny”. Nyra was increasingly embarrassed as keldon continued laughing.

“I’m not laughing” Keldon held in his laughter as he saw Nyra clenching the steering tightly in embarrassment.

“Just stop”. Nyra thought of how Henrik and Wallace were aware too and all she wanted was to dig a hole and bury herself inside. Never to come out again.

“Alright, Alright I won’t laugh anymore” Keldon said after sometime. He glanced at Nyra again and said “But it’s funny” He started laughing again, he couldn’t stop himself.

“Arrghh!” Nyra exclaimed. She stepped on the gear and increased the speed. She wanted to get to the beach as soon as possible.

At the beach side, Andreus and Alexavian were at a bar, drinking in a vip lounge…

The lounges were demarcated by semi-transparent room dividers. From the vip lounge, you can get a good view of every ongoing activity downstairs.

Andreus took a sip from his wine and looked down, there wasn’t much going on. It is usually more livelier at night.

He took another look at the vip lounge, though they were separated by room dividers, it was so transparent that you can see the person sitting at the other lounge close to you. He figured out that it was because it was a beach bar.

He looked at the lounge by his left and he was surprised to see two she-wolves staring intently at them.

He quickly shifted his gaze and nudged at Alexavian who raised his head to look at Andreus with an inquiry gaze after being nudged.

“Look at the vip lounge by my left. Be careful don’t allow them see you”.

Alexavian ignored his warning and looked straight at the table.

“Can you be anymore obvious?”. Andreus asked perplexed, after Alexavian looked straight at the table without even trying to be discreet.

“It’s just some women, why are you being sneaky?” Alexavian asked. He saw two she-wolves looking at their direction. They quickly shifted their gazes immediately he turned back. He still doesn’t understand why he had to look at them with secrecy.

“There are steps to stuffs like this”. Andreus said softly.

“What steps? You are just making them up” Alexavian was wondering why they were having this conversation in the first place.

“I know that you’ve never had the need to woo a woman. I understand that they always come flocking to you”. Andreus said calmly. His brother was handsome, he had never had to worry about wooing a woman.

Alexavian nodded in agreement. He never needed to woo a woman, and it’s not like it’s something serious anyway. It was always only for a night.

“Well if you notice a female staring you, it means that she is interested in you and you have to approach her slowly. Don’t just turn to stare back at her all of a sudden”. Andreus explained slowly.

“Why do I have to approach them? I am not interested in them” Alexavian felt that Andreus was not making sense. Why does he have to follow any stupid rules if he is not interested?

“You don’t have to be interested. Just pretend for one night and it’s over” Andreus smiled sneakily and he glanced at the she-wolves. They looked pretty and he doesn’t mind hanging out with them this night.

“Wipe that greasy smile off your face. It’s creepy”. Alexavian said with disgust. He knew what Andreus was planning with that sly smile plastered on his lips.

“What creepy? This is my signature smile” Andreus sat straight and grinned widely while raising one eyebrow. “It’ cool right?”.

Andreus rubbed under his jaw as he flexed his smile.

Alexavian ignored Andreus as he continued sipping from his wine glass. He rolled his teeth over his fangs. The wine made him more thirsty, he needed blood to satiate his thirst.

Andreus smile slowly faded as Alexavian ignored him as if he was invisible. Alexavian was the only one to ever make him feel invisible. In the human world he was very popular.

“We’ve never had a she-wolf before. It’s exhilarating just thinking about it” Andreus’s dark eyes glinted as he thought about the thrill. He heard that she-wolves were very aggressive.

“Knock those thoughts out of your head, we are doing nothing of those sorts”. Alexavian said after noticing the glint in Andreus’s eyes.

At that moment Andreus felt as if he has been forcefully woken up from a beautiful dream.

He smiled half-heartedly as he asked “What about the clubs? I heard that the night clubs here are very good. We just have to wait till nighttime”. He was hopeful that at least Alexavian added them to his list. He thought positively that might stay here till night fall.

“No clubbing either”. Alexavian spat out nonchalantly. He didn’t force Andreus to come with him anyway.

Andreus was crestfallen as he heard Alexavian’s words. He cursed inwardly, why would he expect Alexavian to go to a night club?

“Where do you get these information from anyway” Alexavian asked.

“I have my ways” Andreus waved him off as he drink from his wine.

Alexavian looked at him perplexed. If he made use of his sources for something important it would have been better, but he would rather use them for scouting of clubs.

“What type of fun were you planning to do anyway when you left the castle?” He asked downcast. He just realized that his idea of fun was very contrasting with Alexavian’s . What’s more fun than women and clubbing?

“I already had fun, before you arrived” Alexavian smiled as he thought of how he stood on terrace for long without being noticed. The werewolves really needs to sharpen their senses.

“What fun? Do you mean when you were standing on the terrace?” Andreus asked because he couldn’t think of anything else.

He watched as Alexavian nodded in consent and he widened his eyes in surprise, who considers eavesdropping fun? His brother was really built different.

“If we are not here for the she-wolves or clubs then what’s the use of coming here?” Andreus groaned. He would have stayed back at the castle instead. Maybe he should have gone to Edric’s manor.

“No one forced you to tag along” Alexavian smiled as he took another sip of the wine while scanning the area with his dark eyes.

“Well that’s your problem. I’ll approach them, suit yourself”. Andreus drank the wine in one gulp and made a move to get up from his seat.

Alexavian’s lips upturned into a slight smile, there were few eyes on them at this moment. It was their cue to leave “You can always come back later”.

“Huh?” Alexavian asked confused. That was the last thing he said before Alexavian grabbed his shoulders and they disappeared.

At the lounge beside them where the two she-wolves were sitting…

“Those guys sitting in that lounge, I just saw them disappear” One of them said in surprise while pointing at where they where previously sitting.

The other she-wolf was scrolling through her phone when she heard what her friend said. She looked at the lounge, they were really not there.

She shook her head as she said “Yeah they have really disappeared”.

‘Hey, I am serious. They really disappeared, like poof!“ The first she-wolf explained while making gestures with her hands. She felt like her friend misunderstood her words.

“How could they have disappeared, maybe they ran out”. Her friend said with disbelief. Were-wolves don’t teleport.

“But I saw them”. The first she-wolf insisted. She clearly saw them disappearing.

“With one look you can see that they are top-tier men, maybe alphas. Perhaps they ran out with great speed that made you think they vanished”. Her friend said as she continued looking at her phone.

“Really?” The first she-wolf was beginning to doubt what she saw, maybe she was really mistaken.

“Really, don’t think too much about it”. Her friend reassured her.

She nodded silently as the continued staring at the empty lounge.
