*** Aruda ***
I forced my eyes open taking in my surroundings. I was in the Kimberly’s kitchen. My leg and wrist felt like hell had ran it over. Lilou was looming over me like a creepy stalker.
I bit back a loud scream.
“You are alive.” Lilou said happily.
“Yeah, and never had it hurt so much before.” I muttered pushing myself up.
When I was about to stand up, I fell right down. Arms encircled my waist and picked me up.
Opening my eyes clearly, I looked into Eric’s crystal eyes.
The only ones in the kitchen were Lilou and Eric.
Eric was only in a pair of shorts.
Burns covered all over his body. Guilt rushed through my body.
“Well I’m going to get going and will drop your car off at your house.” Lilou said exiting the room.
Lilou just abandoned me with Eric
I could practically feel his gaze burning into me.
“I kept the promise and didn’t die.” Eric managed to say.
I smiled at him as he put me on a cushion.
“My leg and wrist hurts.” I complained.
“Duncan broke them when he tried Mating himself to you.” Eric said readjusting my sling.
I nodded. The fight was blurry but I remembered some of it.
“Scott is a Werewolf.” I stated.
“Yeah, he got his memory back.” Eric explained. I grabbed the necklace around my neck and looked at it.
The bullet on it was gone. I killed Duncan with it.
“Where did you get the bullet from?” Eric asked.
“It was on my neck for so long, My Mom gave me this necklace, the bullet was hand crafted and old.” I replied.
“What’s that other necklace around your neck?” Eric asked staring at my neck.
I looked down at my neck at what Eric was talking about. I looked back at Eric and simply offered a smile. Eric leaned forward and grabbed the chain and brought it out and examined it.
Eric’s mouth twitched up in a smile when he saw it.
“It looks good on you.” Eric said letting go of it.
“What does this even mean?” I asked.
Eric offered me a smile.
“Are you sure you wanna know?” Eric asked raising his eyebrows.
I nodded as I stared at the necklace with a symbol of a Wolf and a rare stone on it.
“The Wolf represents the Alpha and the rare stone represents the Luna of the Pack.” Eric stated tossing his hair aside.
I was wearing a werewolf necklace.
“Take it off.” I said trying to get it off.
Eric grabbed my hands and put them down.
“My Mom obviously believes and trust you for giving you that ancient necklace, that the first Luna of this Pack had.” Eric said.
“Do you remember what Duncan said to you?” Eric asked trying to change the topic.
I shook my head.
I know he warned me, just can’t remember what he said.
“He told you that they would come for you.” Eric said cracking his knuckles.
I nodded. “So where is everyone?” I asked.
“In the Living room.” Eric answered.
“Guess I should let them see you.” Eric said. I nodded.
Eric grabbed my arm and helped me up. I began limping towards the living room.
The minute I was in the doorway, I was attacked.
Duke met my gaze and he smiled at me.
Tony was clinging to me like a kid.
“Don’t you ever die, if you do I’ll resurrect you.” Tony said very quickly.
I laughed at Tony.
Duke then jumped over the couch and hugged me.
“Damn, must you hug so tight.” I said as Duke squeezed the living hell out of me.
Werewolves get super emotional at times.
Ryan simply smiled at me.
Most of Eric’s brothers scared me except the two clinging to me. Amora had ripped them off me and was hugging me.
Alan laughed at us.
“You looked so peaceful when you are unconscious but I like you better when you are awake.” Amora said.
“Thanks Amora.” I said.
My gaze landed on Scott who stood against the wall awkwardly.
“Yeah, it really will feel awkward because he just found out that he is a werewolf when all these past years he had been a hunter killing his kind because he told me that why he became a hunter was because his Parents died on the same day as my family and they were killed by Rogues.
Surprisingly, Becky wasn’t with him.
I felt bad for Scott. I limped towards Scott and asked l, “So Scott you’re not gonna quit being a hunter right now you’ve found you are a werewolf huh..?”
“Of course not, I’m not letting you beat me in the rankings.” Scott said smirking down at me.
I raised an eyebrow at that.
“I killed an ancient demon hellhound at that.” I said.
“With my wolf’s help.” Scott said smirking.
“What’s your wolf’s name anyway?” I asked.
“He’s name is Dal” Scott replied
Did he sustained some burns?” I asked further.
“Yeah, it only a minor burn, but it will heal in a few days.” Scott answered.
“Eric has lot of burns on him. He wasn’t thinking when fighting Duncan, there was only one thought in his head and that was to protect you.” Scott said looking at me with his browny eyes.
“You really should consider him someday.” Scott added.
“He deserves someone better than Me.” I said.
“No Aruda, you are beautiful and have very pretty personality, what else would Eric want.” Scott said
“ A Werewolf for a Mate.” I said.
“Stop talking about Me and start talking about you and Becky together.” I said changing the topic.
“It’s still weird ….. you know.” I said.
“I know.” Becky replied.
“You are lucky, Scott is funny, cute and adorable.” I said with a grin.
“Thanks for talking to me about him.” Becky said high – fiving Me.
I simply nodded.
“Wait a sec, you two talked about Me?” Scott asked.
“Yep, just for her to convince me to ask you out, I was scared you’d reject me for the way I was.” Becky said looking down.
After having much thought about it outside the house.
Scott simply hugged Becky tightly.
“I love you for who you are now not for what you were …. Ok.” Scott said then smirked at me.
I shook my head.
I swear Scott can be weird sometimes.
