I'm on a roll here guys- here's another chapter.
Enjoy!
Love Rose x
The mood was tense between us after.
We hadn't talked since, however at times we would pass each other and there would just be this awkwardness between us. We both knew there was more to be said.
"Are you alright Eve?"
I stopped cutting the carrots and turned to Carla who was sat at the table watching me.
I smiled and nodded in reply but continued with cutting the vegetable. The menu for tonight was chicken stir fry and I was in charge of all the vegetables while Carla dealt with the meat and noodles.
It was only since I came to this pack i had even really stepped into a kitchen and while i was getting better, Carla was yet to let me do any actual cooking.
"It's just you've been very quiet recently." Carla prodded.
Carla was the first person I spoke to when I found out I was Alpha Stones mate and she freaked out really badly. She wouldn't even let me touch a plate because i was the packs supposed 'Luna' and as the female head of the pack I wasn't supposed to do any 'dirty work.' I made it very clear to her that I was no 'Luna' and that if she even treated me a little bit differently i wouldn't speak to her ever and that was enough for her to start treating me normally again.
It was bad enough being a mate to an Alpha but being a Luna as well...
"I'm fine, everythi- ouch!" I dropped the knife onto the cutting board as blood dripped from my hand. I was distracted and had cut my finger.
"Oh shoot that looks nasty!" Carla exclaimed as she placed my hand under the tap, letting the water clean the blood away.
"Hold on, I'll get a plaster." she said before quickly jogging over to the drawers and searching for them.
I stared fixated on the drops of blood mixing with the water before they drained down the sink.
"Here I found them," Carla said returning to my side with a band-aid, "give me your finger." I watched as Carla wiped the water off with a tissue but was hardly concentrating when she said, "Uh Eve, are you sure you cut your self?"
Baffled by her question, what did she mean was I sure i cut myself, did she not see the blood? I looked down at my finger and had to blink a few times. Bringing the finger closer to my face I examined it but there was no cut. In fact my skin was perfectly intact not even a little scratch.
"But it was bleeding." I said and Carla nodded, "I saw the blood and i felt the knife cut my finger."
Despite this there was no sign of a cut.
"I wonder if it's the mark?" Carla pondered and i looked at her for more.
"Werewolves all have fast healing, so i wonder since you have been marked if you too have some kind of healing power."
Healing power? That sounds so freaking cool.
I turned around and grabbed the knife off the cutting board before handing it over to Carla. I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth next
"Shall we test it out?"
Carla stared at me blankly, her face not amused at all.
"Do you want me to die? Like honestly Eve, can you imagine what Alpha Stone would do to me if i stabbed you with a knife."
I flinched at her annoyed tone and also the mention of Alpha Stone
"I didn't say you had to stab me, maybe a little cut o-"
"I don't want to hear it." she interrupts pushing me aside, "go and sit down, I don't trust you with knives anymore."
I rolled my eyes but did as she said.
"Healing power though? That would be incredible." I muse, thinking about the past 19 years of my life where I was basically wrapped up in bubble wrap and now i could potentially stab myself with whatever sharp object I desired and i would be all healed up within a second.
"Yeah don't get too excited, I would talk about it with Alpha Stone first." Carla warned.
Alpha Stone.
The mention of his name alone was enough to make me feel guilty.
"There you go, you've gone all quiet again." Carla say aloud and I look up to see her standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding a knife pointed at me, "what's wrong?"
I consider saying everythings fine and covering it up but I really needed to get it off my chest. I really needed to talk to someone about it.
"It's the whole mate thing." I blurt out finally and Carla smirks as she already knew that.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"I don't know what to do. I mean i don't think i like him like that you know. I find him attractive but i dont like him the way he likes me-"
"Ouch" Carla interjects at what i said but lets me carry on speaking.
"- i mean he was saying stuff like he wants to protect me and keep me safe and honestly it freaks me out." I'm breathless by the time I finish speaking and Carla just watches me with an amused expression.
Why is she smiling? Doesn't she understand my situation?
"Listen up Kid," I'm pretty sure we're around the same age but still, "sure the whole human, werewolf mating thing is a bit unusual and especially for you. I mean lets be honest you haven't had the easiest life have you? Being trapped your whole life in a glass box and now suddenly being mated to Alpha Stone, I know it's difficult for you."
'Difficult' was the understatement of the year.
"But the thing is Eve, even though right now you think you have no feelings for Alpha Stone, the reality is he's marked you and unfortunately that means he's just strengthened the mate bond. And that means no matter how hard
you deny it, sooner or later you will be madly and completely in love with the guy and you honey," Carla pauses for dramatic effect.
"-will have no control over it."
Oh dear God, curse the healing power and just hand me the bloody knife.
There you go!
I'm not sure when the next update will be (hopefully sometime in the next few days.)
I'm really enjoying writing this story and I hope you enjoying reading. I know its quite slow at the moment and there isn't a lot happening between our main leads but i want to take my time with developing their relationship instead of just rushing into it.
On another note-I hope you guys are all excited for CHRISTMAS! Only twenty more sleeps!
Please keep being lovely and showing your support as you have been.
