Chapter 086
Akira's POV
"What the fuck, I said I am coming, give me a few minutes," I watch him growl it's like something distracted him from saying what he wanted to say. His phone wasn't on his ear, I wondered who he was talking to. He ruffled his hair before he huffed, "I’m so sorry, Akira,” he said, his voice gruff. His partly parted lips reveal his canines they were a bit longer than humans, my brows furrow, “Something come up. An emergency. I have to go.” his voice distracted me.
I looked at him disappointed but nodded in understanding. “I get it. You’re busy. We can talk later, right?”
“Yes, later,” he agreed, though I knew deep down that I might not see him soon, and I don't know how long it will take before we see each other again. “I promise,” he murmured.
"That's fair," I said giving a tight smile.
"Let's go," he said grabbing my hand, and led me out, I was surprised to see Mr. Williamson, the butler outside the building. I thought I heard Wolfie telling him not to wait for us and now he is here. I couldn't recall when Wolfie called him
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"He will bring you home,"
"To the..."
"No, to Vida, you should stay there till I return, I will call you when I return,"
"You are traveling?" I asked, as blood drilled off my face, I was looking so pale.
"Yes, Williamson, you should bring her home and you know what to do," the urgency in his voice scared me but I nodded to him, I know I would have still gone to Vida if he hadn't been there at the Villa. He asked me to leave got me worried, I stood there as he turned and hurried to his car, the one we came here with, I felt empty and scared at the same time, when he pulled the car door, I just couldn't hold my fear in anymore, I called out to him.
"Wolfie, be safe. Whatever it is, be careful and come back for me,"
He turned and looked at me, giving me that genuine smile, I knew he wanted to say so much more, to beg me to wait for him, to understand that he wasn’t just running away. But there was no time. Something inside him was already pushing to the surface, and Wolfie was changing, maybe I was wrong but something wasn't right, that his facial appearance was changing but I pushed it to the back of my mind.
“Thank you, my Luna,” he said, his voice filled with emotions. “I’ll explain everything soon. I swear but promise me, you won't hate me after that,”
I wanted to shout out to him that nothing would change about how I felt for him but he pulled the car door and drove off. My eyes followed his car till I could no longer see it, "come on lady Akira let's leave, don't worry about him, he will be fine,"
That was all Mr. Williamson said to me, three days ago when he dropped me at Vida's place I tried calling Wolfie a thousand times, and none of my calls was returned, I reached out to Meredith but his phone was still not reachable, yesterday I went to the Mansion but the butler told me that Wolfie wasn't back from his trip but I still think something was wrong so I thought of going to the office and I met Mariam, the secretary, she told me, that Katerina travel and that Meredith and Wolfie were on a business trip.
I was so frustrated, I felt alone, I missed Wolfie but I had no choice but to return home, I was just arriving at Vida when I saw Casper's car.
"Casper..." I greeted him with excitement but he replied with an awkward smile. I understand where he was coming from, after that night, I didn't contact him and our call the next morning was awkward, I forgot all about him. "C'mon Casper don't give that cold shoulder, it's killing and here I thought I could use a friend," he inhaled loud, "how are you?" I asked,
"I am coping..." He said, I smiled at him.
"You should come in let's grab a cup of coffee," I said gesturing for him to come with me.
When we pulled the door, I walked in while he walked behind me, I prepared a hot coffee for him, "So? You didn't reply to my question and you didn't return my call?" He said sipping from the coffee.
"I am sorry, a lot of things came up and I forgot about you..."
“That's because I am not important and you are more busy with important things," I shake my head, disagreeing with him.
"No Casper, that is not it, it's just that Wolfie and I..."
He interrupted me, "Made up together?" He asked and I found myself shaking my head.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you, I am sorry Casper..." Casper gives a faint smile running his hand on his nape.
"There is nothing to be sorry about there, I know you and Logan were an item before but I was thinking..."
"We weren't an item, I was just his fake girlfriend, we became an item a few days ago," I sighed remembering the last few days were a disaster.
"It doesn't matter when you two become an item, I have always known that he likes you, and those fake girlfriend things were a made-believe story so he could get closer to you and I respect that. I only hope you know what you are getting yourself involved with,"
I couldn't hold Casper's gaze because I didn't know if Wolfie felt the same thing for me and if I knew anything about him. I only hope there will be a happy ever after for the both of us. But where does this dream of mine leave me, if Wolfie loved me, he wouldn't have stayed for days without contacting me. But I wanted to take the risk since it was the first time that I felt this strong for any male. It's what people called a rollercoaster but I didn't want it to end.
When I moved my gaze back to Casper, he had that scorn on his face, I looked at him lost and I could see his brows furrow, and his gaze was fixed on my neck, his fist clenched and his eyes dark.
"Did I say something..."
"He is your mate?" He asked as confusion reeked him, before I could answer his voice came up, "You are Wolfie's mate, a human girl," He turned the questions and I looked at him before nodding like I knew what he meant by the word mate.
"Yes, he told me that I am his mate," I answer with confidence.
"Oh, so you accepted him that is the reason he marked you?"
"Marked me? He didn't mark me while will he mark me? I am not a slave," I said in anger but Casper pointed to my neck, "That's the fated mate mark, it's like stars."
"Oh, this? It's not..." I bite my lower lips
"Of course, that's the fated mate mark, you don't have to hide it from me and you are okay with him being a wolf..."
