Chapter nine

Chapter nine - The chaos beneath my feet

"I have the soul of the ocean. I want everything and nothing in harmony. I am chaos."

[L U K A S]

As soon as we neared the school's entrance, we could hear the crowd cheering. Someone yelled someone chapped, someone just simply stood there, carefully observing the fight.

I took my time, didn't felt like rushing, and soon Luna Valentino ran outside of the building. As soon as doors behind her closed, my body froze.

The scent.
I know that scent way too good.
I've been trying to catch even the slightest glimpse of it for a few years now. She's here.
Millions of thoughts rushed through my mind.

Should I go?
Should I hide?
Should I run?

I can't let her see me, not just yet. I'm not ready.

She's not ready also. She'll hate me the moment she'll understand who I am and what I have done. I can't let that happen.

"I'll join you in a minute; I have an essential phone call to make," I said to Brent's sidekicks and left without giving any other explanation.

I ran upstairs and went into the library; my hands kept shaking as I impatiently waited for her to pick up the damn phone.

"Sweetly? What happened, where are you?" my mother whispered.

"Mom, deep shit. I might have to leave," I kept pacing around the empty library.

"What happened, Lukas, where are you?"

"I'm at school, she's here," I sighed deeply and sat down, hoping my mother will have an answer, an idea what should I do now.

"Listen. I'll come and pick you up in a few minutes. I'll call Luna and tell her that something has come up, she will understand. If you somehow end up one to one with that girl, just ignore her and act like you don't know her, ok?" she begged.

"I will, mother. They will never understand," I hid my face behind my palm and looked down to my feet.

That's the truth, though, they would never understand. They wouldn't let me explain, and they're damn werewolves for fuck's sake! They don't think most of the time, but they do act.

"I'm on my way, Lukas, stay safe!" mother yelled, and the call ended.

Now I have to think of how to get out of this damn place. I might jump out of the window, the same as I might just go through the halls and act like nothings wrong.

Man up, Luke, you knew that you'd need to face her sooner or later. A few deep breaths and I decided to leave as any other "normal" person would, the same way I got inside- using doors. I chuckled in amusement about myself, trying to call anyone here normal.

I casually went downstairs and slowly moved to the main entrance.

"Luke, bro! Come, meet out Alpha-to-be," Brent yelled from the behind of me.

"Pass, need to leave," I didn't bother to look back at them, I know I wouldn't be able to hold myself down if I'd see her.

"Dude, are you trying to disrespect our pack?" he yelled in pure anger. The whole hallway, even though packed with wolves, died that same instant.
I stopped in my tracks and looked up, making my actions look entirely careless.

"And you? Are you trying to challenge me? If I'd be you, I'd think about what my answer would be," I smirked to myself.

"That is enough! We don't need dead wolves here, not on my watch! Brent, my office, now!" Luna yelled out of nowhere.

I turned around, making sure that I won't face the girl, standing next to Brent and looked at Luna Valentino.

"Luna," I nod my head, and she smiled at me.

"You are free to go, Luke. Your mother has informed me about the situation; I hope to see you tomorrow," she kindly added, for what I just smiled and left.

I was about to get down the staircase in front of the school when a light hand grabbed me. Shit.

"Keep your distance, wolf, who knows what I might do now," I smirked. Even with me trying my best to sound threatening, it was way too damn hard.

"It's you. I know you! You did it!" she yelled.
My body shivered in delight just by hearing her voice. It's so angelic, yet at the same time demanding and threatening. How I wish I could...
But I can't.

"It's me? Wow, I never knew that this me is me. Such clever clocks, ain't you?" I hope she will hate me because acting like a fucking asshole towards her is damn torture.

"You're a vampire; it's not possible," she whispered under her breath. I decided to ignore her statement, even though it hurt.

"You fucking bloodsucking murders don't deserve to live," she suddenly splats at me, each word of hers laced in venom.

I almost dropped to my knees. The way she said it, the level of hate she had to add, it felt as if she just stabbed me right into my heart.

I can't be weak. I have to pretend.
I will end this then. I will make her hate and avoid me until her last days. So I spoke...

"It's funny how you say that because that's precisely what my VAMPIRE grandmother said to my VAMPIRE mother when her fucking werewolf mate sent her into the rogue territory to die while carrying his fucking child," I splat in anger.

"Don't try to approach me ever again, because that'll be the last day you're breathing, you fucking dog," I added as tears started forming into my eyes. I got out of her grip and left her speechless.

Why it had to happen today? Why she had to appear out of nowhere right when I'm not ready to confess. Right when I'm so afraid to let her go, yet I have to keep her away.

Lousy timing, terrible timing.
