Chapter 17

Back in the academy ~

Eris threw the tray filled with delicious breakfasts on the ground. His face had darkened. Dark circles were visible under his eyes. His silky soft hairs were messed up.

The muffins and pancakes were scattered on the ground. The fresh flowers on the small round table were intoxicating. He threw the vase on the floor as well.

The maids were trembling at a corner. They had no idea what was causing their alpha to lose his mind.

Eris growled loudly. The whole academy had a shake by the resonance. Eris was disturbed for a few days. He would visit Liliana twice a day.

But since the past few days, he had stopped seeing Liliana as well. Liliana was worried about him. She had never seen Eris like that. He was always so warm towards her. But he would barely even meet her then.

She tried to look for him a few days ago. But he only slightly opened the door and told her that he was not feeling good. He wanted to stay alone a little. He would never refuse to meet her before. The sudden change was worrying for her.

Liliana was sitting on the swinging chair in her bedroom. The maids entered.

"Did he not eat the muffins?" She asked them straight.

"He threw them away, Luna," the maid said in a tiny voice.

"What do you mean by throwing them away? Did you not tell him that I sent those muffins? I made them myself?" She asked coldly. Her jaw hardened.

"We did, Luna!" Another maid said desperately. "He was about to eat them when suddenly he felt something. He grabbed his chest and started howling," the maid explained.

Liliana's face softened hearing that. A thin line of worry appeared on her forehead. What was happening she was not being able to fathom.

Not too long ago, Eris confessed to her. Liliana had decided that she would leave the academy and surrender to that vampire, but she couldn't. She was not that brave. She couldn't bring herself to take that step. She was getting worried about Roseanne all day. But Eris giving her comfort was turning into a habit.

At first, she was feeling guilty. She believed that because of her Eris rejected Roseanne. But Eris get her out of that guilt. She realized that Roseanne was the one who came in between. Eris was warm to her since she was just a kid. He loved her since she was just a child. And Roseanne did not even love Eris. They were just bound with each other forcefully because of the bond. It was better for Roseanne not to be the Luna.

Also, Eris assured her that Roseanne was fine and out of danger. He could feel her wolf perfectly fine.

The day Eris confessed to her, was the happiest day in her life. For the first time, she went on a date. Eris was so affectionate towards her. They kissed.

She asked Eris to mark her and make her his. But Eris said he would mark her after she would turn 18. Her blood was noble and pure. Marking her would make her impure and she would lose the power that her blood holds.

On the contrary, marking her after her awakening would make Eris the most powerful Lycan ever. He could easily bring an end to that vampire realm. No one could stop him. Also, Liliana would become the new Luna of the Crescent pack.

Not even a week was left to her birthday. She was excited. She was preparing for her marriage. The academy had accepted her happily. The pack was happy that they would not need to bow to a mere beta.

Everything was going as they wished for. But all of sudden it started with Eris. He was frequently losing his sanity. He was behaving unusually.

Liliana decided to talk to Eris. She could not let him lose it all. They were so close. A few more nights and they could reign on the world.

Liliana got down from the swing chair. She asked her maids to bring the brightest dress she owned. Eris always loved her bright side.

She wore the berry printed soft gown and put on some flowers on her hair. Applied a bit of peachy lipstick. She was looking damn elegant. No one could ever resist her charms.

Eris was lying on his bed. He was looking at the ceiling for quite a long time. His wolf was scratching his insides. He was an alpha. How could he lose his control? How could he let his emotions get the best of him?

Suddenly he remembered what he felt that morning. He clenched his fists. His wolf was making him go crazy.

He threw everything that was near his hands. He grabbed his messy hairs.

"How could you do this to me?" He said in a husky voice. He was talking to himself. "Are you playing with me? How could you let that disgusting creature touch you!" He screamed again in pain.

He angrily put a fist on the wall with so much force that it cracked. Blood was coming out of his fingers. His skin was breached. It healed immediately again.

He felt it. His mate was kissed, touched by a vampire, he felt it all. He could feel every single touch on her body.

He never imagined he would get this possessive over his mate. He loved Liliana; his wolf had accepted her as his new mate as well. It should not have happened.

But he could not deny that it was not just because of his wolf. He was mad because he also could not take it. Even the image of Roseanne getting hold by someone else was making his blood boil.

He got up from his bed. He had decided. What had been his only belonged to him.

No one else could have that no matter what. He would bring back his mate whatever it takes.
