The Waters
I gulpe at the indeisity of the attetin Iw as getitng. They see clapping, and I could see that they were happy for me.
They accepted me, which is strange.
My body felt confused with always having to be under ceremonies and switching packs. from being a rogue to having to make an oath with Kai, then now, I don't feel like having my loyalty.
The night was prosperous and engaging, everyone seemed to be nice to me. They were welcoming me, making an effort to even greet me, each of them. Food, wine, and meat were everywhere. Father was just at the center of the stage, watching everyone as he was sipping on his glass of wine.
The she-wolves even wanted to speak to me but I gave a signal to Rem to take me. He shrugged, leaving me alone and I gulped.
“Hello there, Arya, right?” One of the she-wolves asked, and I recognize her as one of their childhood friends of Rem who talked with him earlier at the training field.
I nodded, “Yes.”
They smiled at me, “You’re too pretty,” They complimented, staring at me. I thought it was sarcasm or any hint of malice but no, it was purely their compliment.
I bit my lip, “Thank you.”
“And your belly, how many months are you pregnant?”
I instinctively rubbed my belly, “Oh, I am due next month.”
They gasped, squealing excitedly, “Really? Then let us help you give birth!”
I nodded, glancing at Rem who was at the far back watching me struggle in making friends.
He mouthed, “You can do it!”
I rolled my eyes at him, replying to the she-wolves questions for a bit and when I felt a bit uncomfortable, I excused myself and went back to Rem.
“Why did you leave me there!”
“I wanted you to have fun, let them know you.” He answered, “didn’t I tell you that they are kind?”
I scoffed at him, “Yes, they are…but-”
I couldn't complete my sentences I heard Alpha Leomourd coming from behind us as he looked at me, “Do you like it? How is your evening, my daughter?”
I sent him a smile, “It’s good, thank you for preparing this event, but you didn’t have to.”
“I wanted to welcome you properly, Now they know about you.”
We talked for a few minutes and the banquet seemed to end when the sunrise hit. I felt a bit sleepy but I wanted to go look for a river and have a bath there.
“Where are you going?” Asked Rem from behind me.
“To find your river. You have a river, right?” I asked. I sniffed the air, sensing the direction of the air. I could hear the gushing water to the left so I instantly walked there, with Rem following me from behind. When we finally reached the waters, I smiled at the sight, feeling the fresh air breezing along.
Something about rivers and water calms me, and I love to go on baths.
Plus, it feels lik forever since I last got on one. I felt a bit dirty too.
“Let me join you then,” Rem asked, and I stopped him.
“PErvert.”
“Waht are you thikning? I also wanted to have a bath, so why not go there together.” He was wiggling his eyebrows playfully and I scoffed, suddenly thinking about his attitude feels familiar. As if I met someone like him in the past...
Oh, wait…Gusve. He acts and talks like Gusev. I’m sure those two would be great friends if they meet in the future.
“Just stand and keep watch while I take a bath,” I told him.
He sighed, “Fine.”
I slowly removed my dress and went ot eh water. I knew Rem’s eyes were glued on me and he was watching my naked body. As much as I felt embraced and wanted ot hide in the dark, I just let him.
“You don’t have to hide it, I have seen it all.”
“What?”
“Last time at the Midnights pack, you would always go in rivers
I could sense he was aroused as his eyes were slowly turning into something else. He gulped. His pheromones were spreading, tempting me to come to him and I gritted my teeth.
“Rem, stop it,” I ordered, sitting on the lake and going as far as I could.
“Stop what?” He was feigning innocence.
“Your scent. Drop it.” I ordered firmly. He draw a heavy breath and instanlty did as I told him.
“I apologize, I didn’t mean it. My body just reacted to you…since you are my mate…” He said and I nodded, letting it slide. He couldn't control that of course…
Since I am pregnant, I am thankful that I am not feeling aroused with him too. Seems that my body is rejecting any other man other than the man who I had this union with…
I could suddenly think about Kai…wanting him to touch me,...
Silence fell until Rem decided to break it, “If Kai appears one day, and gets you, will you go with him?”
“I don’t know,” I answered honestly, putting some water on my shoulders and wiping my face and neck from sweat.
“If I let you escape now and go to him, will you go to him?”
I was stunned at Rem’s question, finding how strange he is acting now and his questions but I tried to go along, “Perhaps.”
“Time is running. The pack doctor is pressuring me to ask your decision. He said that you have to make a decision or you’ll end up being drained by your pups to the bone.”
I sighed, “Let’s just talk about that tomorrow.”
“Right, don’t stress yourself out.” He agreed and he was just silent.
“I don't think I can stay with you now…I can't control my body, I might do something I’ll regret.” Rem suddenly said. I notice he has been holding himself back, he was trying hard to control his pheromones, but they were spreading to the whole place now.
“I’ll just be nearby.” He then excused himself and I was left on my own.I could escape now.
That was the first thing that entered my mind when Rem was finally away. I looked at the rising sun on my left, the forest, and the muddy steps to the wild.
If I run now, will I arrive at Kai?
But then again, I can't guarantee I to find him. I do not know the exact region of this place as the White Claws seemed dot be situated in the hidden spot of the world…
If I go, what if I end up missing Kai and he arrived here?
Just then, I could see light flying across me, A firefly. it seemed to have been lost on its own because as far as I know, they travel with their group.
The firefly got closer to me and entered my ear.
I tried to push it but then I felt darkness overtake me.
**
A young fellow seemed to be on climbing on a tree but ended up falling. He cried at the pain, but a younger female came and helped him up.
“Leomourd, you’re always clumsy.”
“Yve, don’t t tease me, I just slipped.”The little boy reasoned out.
Another boy appeared from behind and the girl looked at him with a smile, “Hi Dyrroth, shall we train today?”
The newcomer nodded and smirked at the little boy, “tsk, Leo, when are you going ot get stronger? come on, Yve, let’s leave this loser behind.”
The boy named Leomourd was crying.
I paused at the scene, I was watching it all as if I was in the past. The young boy seemed to not see me or notice me….
Where the hell am I?
But looking at the younger boy, and his familiar name, I realized it. That boy is Alpha Leomourd when he was just a child!
Wait, don’t tell me that I was brought back to the past? How the hell am I watching Alpha Leomourd's childhood?
I curse under my breath.
