ARIADNE’S POV
I was jerked awake from sleep after having a traumatic dream that reminds me of my pack.
The servants, the jubilations, everything feels so real that I wished I get lost in the dream but I had to wake up when it fast forwards to the horrible scene where Regaleon and his men set my pack on fire.
The fear of seeing such horrible scene again engulf me and I find myself recoiling to self pity because I couldn’t save my people, the ones who stayed by me.
I eloped, leaving them all, but despite my escape, I was still captured by the man who inflicted such pains on my pack!
Panting heavily, I stared at the cool night sky, my heart thumped with sadness and fear. I’m not worthy of being a leader, I left them.
I don’t know when a single tear ran from my cheek.
‘Agatha I’ll be back’ I mumbled from my heart but I don’t have the confidence if saying it out loud.
Will I ever be back? Will I ever see Micheal and Zelda again?
Since the day I got captured, I remembered Zelda for the first time. Gamma Zelda, my best friend, Lycan Xavier’s daughter, I wondered if Micheal has found because I don’t remember seeing her throughout the destruction times.
Unable to sleep due to fear of having the same horrific dream repeat itself, I sat up from my bed and spent the entire night pacing up and down.
Suddenly, a familiar clear and serene Voice jolted her me up and I snapped out of my thoughts, “Soliloquizing?”
“Wh..what do you want?” I quickly ran my hand on my face, wiping the tears that still stained reflect on my face.
There was something scary and at the same time interesting about the way he looks at me, I don’t understand it, but I cleared throat and I raised my eyebrows to question him, “Why are you here?”
“Come with me” He ordered and turned around authoritatively.
I was surprised, since when did he start to he this grouchy and commanding? Either way, with mumbling, I quickly packed my hair in a tousled bun and wrapped a shawl around the nightgown I was wearing and followed him until he turned towards the kitchen.
“Why are we going to the kitchen in the middle of the night? Is anything wrong?”
Regaleon only scoffed, “And you think I’ll come to call you if anything is wrong?”
“Then why are we going to the kitchen?” I asked frustratedly. It’s enough that he gave me sleepless night and bottomless my morning, but snatching my privacy, I don’t think I can ever get used to it.
“To teach you how to cook” he replied, by this time, we’re already at the kitchen and he brought the oil and other kitchen utensils to the table like specimen, for me to inspect.
“What’s all these?” I gimmick again with confusion by this man lit the stove, “Be quiet and watch me!”
“You hate me don’t you?” He turned to look at me without words, I gained more courage to continue, “You hate me so much that you take me away without any reason and now your want to teach me cooking, what is going on with you Regaleon?”
“I don’t hate you” his tone was salivatory, “I loathe you with every drop of blood in my body but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you feed my son garbage when I’m off doing business” He replied with sinister smirk that disappointed the response I want to hear.
Well, what should I expect from a rouge as him? I sighed to shake off my thoughts
“Killing people again?” I question.
He’d already start to wash the pot as he smiled, “You’re getting familiar with the life I live now. Good of you, keep it up”
When the sun has raised in it’s glory and might, Regaleon finally put off the fire in the stove and let me free after spending the whole night tasting and tasting again and again.
What surprised me was that, Alpha Regaleon didn’t show any sign of exhaust, infarct, he looked as though he’d just woke up.
Coming out of the kitchen, we both landed before a Little Phoenix who just woke up. “Father, Mother, why are you two coming from the kitchen so early in the morning?”
“Baby, don’t ask, your father is a real life psychopath chef” I breathed exhaustedly making the little boy look at me with surprise.
Regaleon picked up the boy and scooped him into his arms, “Don’t mind her, Say your Good morning first”
“Good morning Father and Mother” the little boy greeted.
I manged a smile as I pulled cheeks,
“I hope you slept well my love?”
The little boy nodded with a handsome smile that I find thrilling and that I love so much.
Regaleon took the boy to the living room and sat him down, “Look here Little Phoenix, I will be traveling to Mooncrest Pack for some days and you’ll be with Luna Ariadne, so be a good boy okay?”
“But I don’t want you to go, Mother and I will be very lonely without you here” Phoenix whimpered making me smile.
I goes to them and take Little Phoenix from Regaleon’s arms, “Don’t worry baby, when he’s not here, we’ll have fun as much as we want”
After I’d managed to pacify him and he left to eat, the father now faced me, “I’ll be leaving for Mooncrest Pack for work, be good girl till I come back and don’t treat my son badly, remember I have so much eyes on you?”
I can’t help but scoff at his words, “Since you have so much eyes then let them take care of your son until you arrive, why bothering me when you don’t trust me?”
“Then I’ll have done that if Little Phoenix wasn’t so keen about having you around, so listen,” He started his instructions. “Phoenix is allergic to sea foods and he doesn’t like early morning baths, make sure you tuck him into bed at 8pm sharp and read him some bedtime stories if he refused to sleep”
“Lastly, Don’t…..”
“Leave the house?” I replied completing his sentence. I don’t know how a grown up man can be so grumpy with everything.
Regaleon looked at me for a moment then nodded before he walked away.
“Wh..when will you be back??” I asked after him before he could
disappear from my sight.
“None of your concern!”
Eww, that arrogant Rouge!!!
