" yes ignis. forget about your doubts, I was waiting my mate and you're the one I was waiting for "
" daniel, I didn't do anything please don't misunderstand "
he sighed " I know " although that was all what came out of his mouth, I understood his eyes language. but so many things happened today and when I smelled his scent on you I couldn't pretend to be careless anymore.
being the reckless I am, I hugged him tightly without thinking about it twice. surrounding his neck with my arms, and ofcourse I was tiptoeing to reach hi height
I hugged him because I felt bad for everything I did that day. he pretended to be ok but he was not
he was tired. maybe he thought I didn't notice that but it was so obvious on his face
I was comforting a human I knew 2hours ago but I didn't comfort my mate
" forget it all and go to the palace !" my fingers traveled all the way to his hair, I dream about running my hand through it everyday and that was my chance to make it true " take a rest for awhile, daniel "
however, he didn't hug me back nor say a single word. I pulled away disappointed, maybe I expected much from him.
I turned my heels to leave annoyed that he rejected me
but he stopped me grabbing my wrist and embraced me tighter
I was surprised ? hell yes
he rested his chin over my head, I put my shaking hands on his waist enjoying the height difference, I liked being small next to him
we didn't need words it was enough to describe everything we felt that moment. the silence wasn't awkward this time. his heart beats against my cheek made mine going even faster.
I held his hand " let's go "
____________
naeun fogot to greet us, she was shocked that daniel got home early
I wasn't planning to sleep that early but as soon as I entered the bedroom I started feeling sleepy
he laid on the bed after taking off his shirt. I laid beside him and he surrounded my waist with his arm pulling me closer, it became a habit to sleep like that and I wasn't complaining
I almost fell asleep but I remembered jihoon I opened my eyes right away and mumbled " daniel ? "
" em ? "
" jihoon, the human, can he stay here for some time ? "
" why would I allow him ? "
" he doesn't have anyone to turn to, he lost all his relates "
" let's not talk about this now "
" but he will sleep outside! it's dark and cold "
" not now ignis ! "
" daniel! " I felt guilty I let him alone with lisa. I can't let him sleep outside
" do it for me " I whispered like begging
it took him minutes of silence to say " I'll see what I can do "
it was like a promise I trusted him and out like a light I fell immediately asleep
____________
I woke up alone again.
I skipped my breakfast and ignored naeun as I rushed outside the palace. I shouldn't have trusted daniel I was selfish I didn't think about the poor jihoon he must have passed the night outside if he is not dead by now
" your highness "
" naeun! I have no time "
" but__"
" do you know where is the human ? "
what if lisa hurt him, or maybe daniel forced him to leave, oh my god ! why did I believe him ?
" that guy ? I received an order from alpha to give him a room but he is not here right now, daniel took him when he was leaving "
I sighed in relief, daniel did that? but I felt guilty for distrusting him
" thank you naeun "
I was heading toward daniel's office but as I was passing by the training square I caught jihoon's scent he was watching the trainers with daniel beside him.
" friends already ? " I said as I stopped beside them
" hello " jihoon greeted with a smile
I waved for him smiling, that dude makes me smile without a reason
I was going to wave for daniel too but his straight face was not helping it would be awkward if he ignores me so it was the better option to not try it on him
" I told him the rules if he wants to stay here he should train with the other werewolves and he will stay in the palace "
I saw him leaving as he said those words
" daniel " I called. he didn't stop but he tilted his head as a sign that he was hearing
" thank you "
" for you " he said. I had butterflies on my tummy, I controlled my smile and looked at jihoon
" your mate he is really scary "
I chuckled " I know right "
" and that girl, lisa" he rolled his eyes " she is the most annoying person in the world"
" are you calling me annoying chocolate ?"
lisa walked toward us with ong seongwoo beside her, he rolled his eyes too which made me burst in laugher
" you're lucky, thanks to naeun and ong seongwoo you had one extra day to live " lisa said
" sure, if I talked with you one more minute I would have been dead now "
" chocolate ! don't forget that I'm stronger than you and I can kill you before you can even blink "
" how can I forget when you remind me every second, and chocolate ? fuck stop calling me this it's so cringy you can't call me this just because I'm the only brown haired here "
" you don't like it? one more reason to call you chocolate " lisa teased
" can you stop already "
" annoying isn't it? now you can understand my feelings every time you and lisa meet " ong seongwoo said
" I'm not annoying " Lisa defended
" no you're not, jihoon let's go it's time for you to start training "
jihoon left with ong seongwoo toward the trainers.
" are you still mad at me? " lisa asked
" do you care about my answer ? "
" do you care about my answer ? " being the annoying she is she repeated the same question
" I think we have the same answer " I said and stepped away
" I didn't mean it "
I stopped and looked at her again " ok, fair enough I didn't mean to punch you "
" do you call it a punch ? it tickled my cheek " she scoffed
" let me tickle you again " I smirked and she backed away
I raised an eyebrow and looked at jihoon getting ready
" to be honest I'm still surprised, even akira's punch can't affect me but yours was so strong..I don't know from where did you get that strength it hurt me a lot "
is she trying a new joke on me? that can't be real
" I will never forget it ignis, I'm just waiting for a reason to punch you so alpha won't throw me out of here "
I ignored her and focused on jihoon who was left with 4 akira trainers
all the eyes were on him and I can't blame them it's weird enough to have aqua training there and now a human. but I was proud of jihoon he was brave
but my eyes widened when I saw them split for groups of 2 and getting ready to fight
they will fight ??!!fuck, jihoon..
what was daniel thinking when he brought him here ??
" he won't last for a second "
" lisa ! that's not funny "
she shrugged " maybe alpha planned this to get rid of him and call it an accident "
" I will kill him ! does he think I will see jihoon dying without__"
" wtf ? " lisa exclaimed
I shifted my gaze toward jihoon and I got a goosebumps
he was punching his partner making him flew some steps away
everyone stopped and looked at him in shock
the werewolf stood up quickly surprised himself, he was practically losing for a human. he jumped toward him but in a high speed jihoon avoided the punch of the werewolf and threw his fist toward his stomach.
a human can't do that
who is he ? he can't be a human !
one of the trainers stepped toward jihoon and threw his fist toward his stomach, it was strong as expected from the akira's trainer but I gasped and froze when I saw jihoon just bent a little and stood up again
even I can't recover from such a strong punch like that one
the trainer grabbed jihoon's collar and dragged him " alpha should see this "
I followed them
" what's going on ignis ?" jihoon asked me scared as the trainer tightened his grip on his shirt
" what you did earlier wasn't normal "
he frowned " what did I do ? I just ..."
" right and that was not something a human can do "
his eyes widened but before he says anything the trainer pushed him inside daniel's office
I entered followed by lisa ong seongwoo and the other 3 trainers
daniel stared at the trainer waiting for him to say the reason of his sudden visit
" there is something wrong in this guy "
I closed my eyes because I knew he will punch him again
" can you stop punching me " jihoon whined
" see alpha ! if he was a normal human his body would be divided to two pieces now "
" what ? " jihoon asked in panic
" let him hit your wrist " daniel ordered
without hesitation the trainer lent his wrist to jihoon
" are you crazy? I won't do it " jihoon refused and looked at daniel " why are you interested in that it's not like I will help yo__"
his reaction was so fast even faster than mine when the trainer tried to punch him again he stopped his fist with one hand and hit his wrist with the other
he broke his bones we all looked at him in disbelief.
jihoon gasped and backed away when he saw what he did with his own hands
the trainers hand quickly recovered.
" sana check on him ! " daniel ordered and I noticed she was in his office before we came. they were alone..
she stood up and walked toward jihoon as he opened his mouth to ask what was she going to do she pushed her claws toward his neck stabbing him. he gasped and rolled his eyes backward
I wanted to stop her and ask her if that has any effects on jihoon but I was shocked I couldn't move a finger I was busy digesting what was happening in front of my eyes
after 10 seconds -I counted it- she pulled out her claws and he gasped again inhaling more oxygen
" nothing " she said furrowing her bows
" nothing? " daniel repeated after her
" yes he is a human...but I think castiel's successive experiments on him had an influence on his nucleic acid "
______________
" bullshit "
" it's not, jihoon " I mumbled following him " you are almost as strong as an akira "
" what ? "
" akira are the strongest creatures in the world "
his eyes widened " what! but I... how ? will I be like them? "
" like who? "
" brottoms "
" no you won't "
he grabbed his hair in frustration and sat on the ground " can you tell that thing to leave "
ong seongwoo frowned at the word 'thing'
" he is here to protect me .. " I bit my lips before saying it. I need to talk with daniel after this he is now protecting me from a human
" I'd like to be alone "
" alone..? "
" no you stay with me "
I sighed and turned toward ong seongwoo who said sternly before I could even open my mouth " No "
I shrugged, at least I've tried
" they are more stubborn than me " I said running my hand through my hair
" ignis ! " lisa called me as she was running toward us
she locked her eyes with mine and kept looking at me with a straight face
" we should check if there is a connection between you and jihoon "
" connection? like what? "
" when you punched me it shouldn't have hurt me but it did, like when jihoon punched jonghyun "
" what the .. but.. right! yesterday I did the same to jungkook__"
" what ? you punched jungkook? " she interrupted me shocked because of what I said, " and your punch affected him ? "
" I think ..yes "
I noticed that they were all looking behind me but before I could turn lisa blurted out " I took daniel's permission to check on you "
and that was when an electric shock went through my spine burning it as I felt claws penetrating my neck choking me I gasped and wide opened my eyes
it took longer than what I thought it was when she did to jihoon
I heard her claws getting out of my neck giving me an immense pain. my legs gave up on me and I fell on the ground
" nothing suspicious on her she is normal " sana said
my whole body was shivering before warm arms held me tight but the owner wasn't the one I have expected, he was just looking at me with a straight face beside sana like if I wasn't hurt
" what did you do to her " jihoon yelled holding me tighter sticking me to his chest
I yelped in pain, my back was like burning from the shock she have given me for seconds. maybe I was weaker than jihoon because it didn't affect him as it was affecting me that moment
my eyes met daniel's again he was emotionless like if he didn't care that I was in someone else's arms
" you are heartless " jihoon yelled at them again with teary eyes
I buried my face on his chest, looking at daniel careless was hurting me more
but I looked at them again one by one from lisa to ong seongwoo sana then stopped at daniel,
with all the feelings I had the sadness, disappointment, pain I reminded them " I hate you, I hate you all... I hate you "
