Chapter 36

Sandra's POV

"So here it is" Alessia pushed the door open and we walked inside "this the room of your very known mate" she smiled.

I looked around "this room gives the dark vibe"

She laughed "it's because this room reflects what your mate is. Well that brother of mine is really...." She shook her head "as you know" then shrugged her shoulders.

I rolled my eyes. The room is cool. It was a master bedroom with a huge king size bed where 3-4 people could easily roll in. There are huge three windows which were sealed closely and gray curtains were hung covering the light outside. A huge wardrobe at the side with a circle mirror on the wall. There were a few decorations which were also hanging on the wall. One of them was the golden deer head which has a red gem on its forehead. Its horn spread out with a pointed tip. And a crystal chandelier was above our head which was the only source of the light.

"Really, this room is really a reflection of his image" I sighed.

"Isn't it?" Alessia turned to look at me "well, he doesn't stay here usually. His favorite place is that mansion we left behind. He likes to live aloof, distancing from everyone"

"Really?" I touched the crystal ball on the side table. "I thought he was friendly because he also has a childhood friend here" my voice turned out to be a sarcastic one.

"Well, Lysithea grew up with him but it's not like they are too close or something. If you ask me, my viewpoint will be the same as ever. I can describe only one word for her"

"Oh, what's that?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Clingy" she replied instantly and we laughed out loud.

"Why do I feel like you don't have a good impression about her?"

"She is always like that. Even when we were kids. She always wanted Andriel's attention so she would do anything that could grab his eyes. Can you believe she even destroyed her favorite garden to grab his attention because he was not talking to her. That girl is mad, really mad"

I frowned "is she really like that? I mean as you said she could do everything?"

"Yeah" she shrugged. "Lysithea is considered to be the best female warrior. She would have some practice whenever she comes and no one can beat her in a fight. Dad appreciates her skill and strength"

"She is also a werewolf right?" I asked.

Alessia nodded "yeah. She belongs to the Black Heart Pack. The second best in fighting in the clan"

"Second? Who's the first? "

She grinned "of course it's us"

I could see the proud look she was having on her face. I can't doubt that. Of course with an Alpha like Andriel how could his pack be left behind? But this matter of Lysithea, I don't know why I couldn't feel anything good out of it. I don't know it's just a womanly intuition but that woman is too skilled in acting. The smile she gave me was the most fake one I ever seen in my life.

It's because she herself is a fake one - the attentive woman in my mind jumped in suddenly.

"Well she seemed like she was too proud," I said.

"But there's one thing" Alessia stated then grinned again "she is mateless. It said she was destined to be alone. I mean moon goddess blessed her with skills but forgot to make her match"

"Is it bad?"

"Maybe or maybe not," she shrugged. "mateless wolves could mate with others who don't have mates but since they are not destined to be one they couldn't feel each other's emotions as the real mates do. Their relationship would be differ. So even if Lysithea becomes Luna after marrying an Alpha, she could be strong physically but the Alpha wouldn't get much help from her mentally and emotionally. She could lead a strang pack but couldn't be attached to it like a heart to heart connection"

I was surprised at the information. So that means she is single and would be till she gets someone to marry? But looking at her attitude back in the hall, I really don't think she is up for any other man. Even though I am not perfect in reading people's attitude, I can see the way she looked at him. Her eyes hold the longing and attraction. I can see that she is coveting him? It can be only my intuition but the feeling about it is strong and hard.

"Sandra" Alessia waved her hand over my face "what are you thinking?"

I shook my head "nothing"

"You don't have to worry about her. My brother doesn't have such feelings even if she becomes clingy to him. He never gave much attention to her before and now that you are here, he wouldn't do anything stupid. So you really don't need to worry "

I smiled "is this an assurance?"

"You can say that," she laughed.

I chuckled, shaking my head.

"What assurance are you talking about?" I heard his voice and turned to see him leaning on the door frame. God this man is really handsome. Even if my intuition is hard I really couldn't blame her at all. He is really too good to resist. I turned my gaze from not giving him any attention. I felt him walking behind me.

"Why are you here?" Alessia asked "didn't dad call you earlier?"

"Why are you so concerned about it?" Andriel asked.

Alessia pursed her lips "you ruined our conversation" she accused him.

"So what are you two talking about?" He asked.

"Why do you care?" Alessia questioned then glanced at me "well shouldn't you be with your long lost friend Lysithea?"

"Huh? Why should I be with her?"

"As you can see my dearest brother, she is happy to see you, you know after years I guess. So to reunite with your childhood sweetheart shouldn't you accompany her to ease her restless heart?"

I know she said it deliberately but I was also looking forward to his reply. I want to know what he feels about Lysithea? I want to know his thinking and his concern. I want to clear the heaviness that I have been feeling since I saw them hugging. Even though Alessia just explained clearly, I want to hear his thoughts too.

"What nonsense are you sprouting Alessia?" He asked "and what do you mean by that childhood sweetheart term? Are you trying to anger me dear sister?" I can feel him smirking "do you want me to send you to the South Prison to train yourself a little more? Because I think you lack manners and are too concerned with nonsense in your mind" his tone becomes heavy with each word.

Alessia's eyes widened as she pointed her finger at him "how dare you to say that?" Her face flushed with anger "just because you are my brother that doesn't give you right to bully me like this"

"If you stay here for another second you will definitely see the entrance of South Prison for sure" he threatened again.

"You....you....you...." Alessia pouted her lips glaring at him "Sandra you should be more cautious about this man. You know what I mean right?"

"Are you going or -"

"Hell with you" Alessia cursed and ran out of the room like smoke. I stared at the door dumbfounded. What just happened?

I sighed "what is South Prison?"

"A training center. But the technique of training is hard and there's no word of mercy on there"

I frowned at his reply before turning to look at him "you really bullied her like that?"

He shrugged "she was talking nonsense so she deserves it"

"Was she really saying nonsense?" I frowned at him.

He rolled his eyes "god, Sandra don't start it okay. I had enough of it"

I snorted "really, but I saw something else in there. You looked so comfortable when Lysithea hugged you like a monkey in the hall. You should really appreciate your childhood friend's heartwarming gesture"

"What the hell-" he stopped giving a look "wait-" he smirked suddenly making me frown "are you jealous of her darling?"

I rolled my eyes and turned away from him. Not confirming yet not denying at the same time. He can think whatever he wants, that's the least I care now. Suddenly I felt myself being engulfed in an embrace.

"You look so cute when you are jealous. You know I can see the smoke of jealousy coming out clouding the room" he whispered from behind.

I tried to free myself from his clutch "don't start now"

"Start what?" He tightened his grip "you don't have a fucking idea about how much it is arousing for me. Your jealousy is something I haven't seen before. My wolf is screaming in delight to see his mate being so jealous"

I rolled my eyes "go and have your lovey-dovey with your friend"

"You shouldn't compare yourself with her darling, is it good to judge like this? He asked. "Besides she is a side part of my life but you are my present and future. You shouldn't really be jealous like this because I don't think I can handle the urge to fuck you so hard until you could only remember my name"

I gasped "how could you say such a thing in this situation?"

"I can say many more, that you-" I turned around in his arm and covered his mouth with my palm "you are too vulgar"

"Only for you" he mumbled against my skin and kissed it.

I removed my hand glaring at him.

"Even those glares are fucking arousing" he said and before I had the chance he claimed my lips.
