DRAFM I chapter 29
~Pokémon insert~
Me, walking one day in this wild, wild valley I stumbled upon this smexy wild Pokémon!
Pokedex: a wild Pokémon appeared!
Me: what is this?! Who is it!
pokedex: a Pokémon obviously dumbass, and this type is known as Jean’s P.O.V.
(wow if that’s my pokedex I would totally gonna throw it away ha-ha =_=)
ohh well that’s the product of my boredom, sorry, anyway yep you heard him! It’s Jean’s P.O.V. (Ashton [Ash] Craig’s beta yaay)…and his pic as Alex Pettyfer right over there! *wink* yaay do you love him?!
~*~*Jean’s P.O.V.*~*~
(recap: “Well maybe I am repulsive but it doesn’t mean that I don’t respect the old guy? Besides you know me” Ash said.
“Fair enough, I already know you have nothing to do with it..” Jean said as he took a dramatic pause before continuing, “But Eve might have something to do with it” he continued as he extracted his phone from his pocket, “Yeah Eve indeed” he continued after a beeping sound made by his phone, Ashton frowned when he heard his mate’s name.
‘What is he talking about? I’m with Eve since this morning, and I didn’t caught any blood scent from him except from his healing wound.’ Ash thought as he stared at Jean, dumbfounded. )
~*~*End of recap *~*~
Ash still gave me this quizzical looks after I checked my phone for any notification about my Uncle Lance current situation, I bet if he wake’s-up he would be bombarded with several questions, but my lack of emotions can’t seems to show worries.
“Before we start, aren’t you getting cold?” I asked while my eyes roamed around in the environment.
Ash shrugged it off until he saw his refection in the mirror, his eyes grew wider, his face is burning like he’s embarrassed; he slowly stared at me showing his ripped statuesque body and his v line with his lucky trail being cut off by his boxer shorts.
“I better dressed first” he said as he chuckled nervously maybe because he slept with Eve and he’s oblivious about it?, “and…you can go to the living room right over there” he said pointing at the door that leads to the living room.
“Sure…” I said and he rushed upstairs, even the stairs is quite fancy guess his mate is rich.
I continued my pace as I stared at Eve, examining him again, my eyes landed on his wrist wrapped in Band-Aid.
He’s no threat; he’s way too innocent…
“True but have you reconsidered his current situation?” A voice inside my head chimed in, I can feel him narrowing his eyes at Eve, guess he doesn’t feel the guy..
“What do you mean?” I asked my inner wolf.
“The killings? The mate? Doesn’t that ring a bell?” he retorted and with that it seems the dots are connecting itself, ‘and if ever I’m right, that ‘class’ is Eve’s class’ I thought as I sat on the couch right next to a tree lamp, hands propping my chin as I leaned on it, ‘but how did those people know about his existence, he’s not even marked yet ‘ my thoughts were all over the glass room as I continued to connect the missing clues in my head, if it’s not night and the lamps light reflecting on it I bet I would mistakenly thought it has no wall there because it’s so well made you can practically see everything from the outside, too bad it’s dark, I bet the view here is nice.
“Here” a hot mug filled with hot Chocó and marshmallows broke the trail of thoughts in my head, “S-sorry did I interrupted you?” he continued hands quite shaking and I can hear his heartbeat beats fast.
I leaned forward taking the mug while trying to give him a reassuring smile, “no, and thanks” I said as I lifted the mug, “It should be me saying sorry for interrupting you guys” I continued.
A frown shown its way in his forehead when I apologized to him, his lips were slowly parting as he sat across from me.
Guess Ash was right he doesn’t know anything about us and our custom of marking our mate.
“Oh sorry I didn’t mean anything, but what I meant by that is you guys sleeping” I continued as I took a small sip, “anyway is there any interesting occurrences going on in the school?” I asked trying to look for another clues.
He shook his head as he smiled, “No…why?” he continued still smiling at me, doesn't this guy get tired of smiling?.
“About that wound” I continued as I pointed my fingers at it, “How did you got it?”.
“P-paper cut….yeah paper cut” he said and the sound of his voice has a trail of doubt and hesitant, he kept on fondling the handles of his mug.
“Paper cut…by any chance have you seen any odd things there? Maybe someone who doesn’t belong there?” I asked trying to provoke him.
“when you say it” he said peering in my eyes, “I think I saw something, an old girl but yeah an old girl she’s wearing a black cape and…nah it’s just my imagination so forget it”.
An old girl? Black cape?.......... It can’t be it.
“How about Ash, did he said something about you? Maybe acting way too different from the usual?”
“Well yeah, he’s acting weirder like, like he’s somewhat an old grumpy bodyguard” he said with a singing tone, Eve chuckled humorously as he slump on the couch after it.
“Grumpy bodyguard…” I mimicked his tone, but it’s true, once a wolf recognizes its mate, a wolf can be so over protective of it, after all they are originally made for one another right?
Can I make such a bond to my mate?
Stomping and grunting, Ash chimed in. “So I’m just a Grumpy bodyguard huh?” Ash muttered as he rushed over to Eve with a sly smirk on his face.
“N-noo…noooooo!! I-I didn’t..” Eve tired to bale his way out but failed miserably “ha-ha s-stop it Ash please! Ha-ha please!!” Eve cried when Ash tickled him.
I unconsciously felt a slight smile in my face as I watched them in awe, I don’t know but they look so amusing as Eve tried to run away but failed to when Ash eventually catches him being pinned to the couch in the process and being tortured through tickling with Ash on top of him, chuckling smugly as Eve let a funny whimper.
Will I be able to do it with my mate someday?, I thought as I continued to watch them amusingly.
Ash snapped as he turned his head towards me while catching his breath, another set of grin creep its way onto his mouth as he lay closer to Eve, cuddling him in the process which made Eve blush more,
“Look who’s smiling” he said wiggling his eyebrows at me.
I leaned back to the couch dumbfounded at his statement, ‘me smiling? Not a chance, I wasn’t able to smile when I went with my father to hunt into the thick woods of our pack's hunting ground, so, me smiling in this kind of thing is way too impossible’, Ash took a mirror and he laid it in my eye level, I frowned a bit when I saw myself smiling.
“That was nothing” I said coldly.
“Yeah right” Ash said sarcastically, “Eve I want to talk to him alone, would you like to wait for me there in your room?” Ash begged at Eve.
Eve sighed and nodded while cracking a smile, “You can also sleep in the guest room, besides, it is way too late don't you think” Eve said to me as he walked away.
Right after his presence was gone completely in the room, the playful, warm ambiance suddenly altered into a serious dry one.
“What did Eve do? He’s with me the entire day” Ash said leaning forward as his gaze met mine.
Sighing I leaned forward too, “Remember the thing I just said, mate? Death? It’s starting Ash” I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
“What?! How can that be?! I didn’t even mark him to avoid such thing!” Ash protested as his teetering blue marbles stared at me, “How? I-I can’t…I can’t even tell my father about it” Ash said, lips quite trembling, and this is something new to me, I never seen him so scared, maybe because this time it involves Eve, and his very own father?.
Delver Evans—Ashton’s father , is a great and wise leader, a strong wolf, and a great father to Ash and to his pack, but no one’s perfect, I don’t know the reason why but one day, one of my pack member named Cameron died after our alpha met his mate from the Green Valley pack somewhere in north, it has been our tradition to let our Alpha blessed us with the elders before we get married to our mate for a good future, I never thought he’s capable of such cruelty.
Us seeing Cameron’s mate—Tyrone from the Green Valley pack get torn apart in insanity was like a horror. Tyrone saw Cameron’s death right before his eyes, tortured, humiliated; Tyrone wasn’t able to take it all, all he can do was to hold Cameron in his arms as it slowly died, that’s the worst punishment to a werewolf like us. I don’t know how it feels but I never wanted to, the pain will surely kill us.
There was a silence in the room except Ash’s heavily breathing, I peered in his eyes and it’s trying its best to hold its tears, he’s breaking apart, I can see it right before my eyes, sighing I stood up and he stared at me, “Look I had some couple of friends in the war member(Zetas) of our pack who at the same time studying in our school, I’d ask for our principal’s assistance to watch over and protect Eve so don’t worry” I reassured him.
“H-how about my father?” Ash asked me and his voice was trembling in fears.
“That is something I never thought about….just give me some time or, maybe I’d just Blackmail them?” I said and he broke a chuckle humorously yet his nervousness never ceased as our current situation is just a tip of a behemothic Ice-berg that has been waiting for us, at least he is smiling now, although what I said about blackmailing them was not a joke.
“Hey it’s getting late; Eve said you can sleep here so you can go to the guest room” Ash said as he cocked his head to the stairs,
“Yeah, sure thi-ng” I suddenly ceased my pace as I felt another presence around us, and it’s way too different, it’s giving me a chill, and my wolf felt this too as he prepared himself to take over our body.
“What’s wro-ng” Ash tried to Asked but I stopped him as I carefully paced forward to the glass window,
“There’s someone out there” I continued as I slowly peered outside, quietly moving the brown curtain aside that’s hindering sight.
“What?! Who!?” Ash shouted at me.
“Would you shut up?” I said as I continued to examine the backyard, an odd thick fog and two shining crimson marbles right behind the tress greeted me, “Oh it’s nothing…” I said thinking it’s just some lights but my eyes grew wider as I spun back at the window. “Ash! Go to Eve!” I screamed as my eyes roamed around the backyard looking for those menacing eyes again, I turned to Ash who’s staring at me like he just saw a ghost, “What are you doing! GO!” I exclaimed as I pointed my finger towards him.
Ash respond to me as he rushed straight to Eve's room as fast as he could, bumping to some vase in the process.
Where is it?, those eyes?, I couldn’t find it, I hope I am wrong, this only means Eve is really in danger now…I just hope I am just seeing things right now
I heard Ash sighed as he called Eve, this is the perks of being a werewolf, our hearing is strong, but how come I didn’t heard any footsteps earlier? How come I didn’t heard anything, but I am sure of it, this feelings, and those eyes, we better not let our guards down,
“What is it?” Ash asked me as he held Eve in his arms,
“They are here” is all I said and I felt Ash stiffened on my statement, his jaw clenched as his grips tightened.
Shaking his head, Ash tried to say that I was just seeing things, that I was just joking but I am not, I am dead serious.
“Is the guest room big enough for at least five people?” I asked as I extracted my phone from my pocket.
“Why?” Ash asked with his trembling voice, Eve was still sleeping peacefully in his arms for protection, unaware of the threat aiming for his life.
“I’m calling some of our Zetas to guard the house and to guard Eve” I responded to him as I dialed their numbers one by one.
