*Riella's Abode*
Riella drag her feet on the floor as she walk into the house, Casey come out just right in time.
" You're back? " Casey asked but noticed the look on Riella's face. " Did he chase you out? Why are you looking so dull?? " She asked once again.
Riella landed her butt on the nearest couch, " No, he didn't chase me out and I doubt if he knows I came to his house, " Riella finally replied.
" What do you mean? Didn't you show yourself to him? " Casey asked out of curiosity and took a seat close to her.
She was more eager than a gossip.
" Yes, I was too guilty to do that. I made him like that, " Riella mumbled and her face dropped.
" Its normal to feel that way but he's your mate after all, you should be there with him always, " Casey consoled
" You wouldn't believe where he is now, " Riella suddenly said and that made Casey even more eager.
" Where? "
" At the hospital," She answered while Casey gasped
" Hospital?! What the fuck happened!" Casey exclaimed.
" Long story but let me cut it short, he was shot with a poisonous bullet, I feel bad for him," Riella said while Casey widen her eyes.
" Wait, what the fuck did you come back home for? " Casey suddenly throw a question at her.
'" I came to-"
" Fuck! You came home to do nothing, babe! You should have followed him to the hospital! " Casey cut her off with a scream as she jumped up from her seat.
Riella shrug her shoulders" His sister already followed him so what's my use? " She said " Whereas he would never want to see my face, " She mumbled this last part to herself but thanks to Casey long ears, she heard it.
" Babes! He needs you now! This is the time you prove your worth, you should go, no...We will go and its now. "
" We ? Now! " Riella screamed and shook her head, " That would make me look desperate and foolish! I bluntly rejected this man, " Riella coaxed and went inside, she shut the door.
" Riella! Let's talk this through, " Casey called but got no response. " Who does she take her stubbornness from? It must be her mom."
** Few minutes later**
" Casey, you know I'm out of my mind right? I can't believe we are actually here! " Riella said as she and Casey stood at the front of the gigantic hospital for the GOLDENROD pack.
" No! You're just checking on your mate, that's not bad. " Casey told her with a weird giggle.
" I think we should go back, I can't go in,,,"
" No no no no! You're already here so no turning back! " Casey cut her off then pull her in before she could say anything.
They got to the reception, " We are here to see Mr. Nathan, what ward is he in? " Casey asked the beautiful lady at the reception.
" The VIP ward 10, upstairs. " The lady replied and without hesitating, Casey already took the stairs that led to the room.
Riella followed gently.
" I think it's here! " Casey said when they came across a door with the name boldly written on the plate on wall,'Nathan'
" It really is, " Riella muttered then they heard voices from inside.
" It is not like that, I just don't want her in our family. Don't worry, Nathan listens to me and I'm sure he will listen if I tell him to look for another mate, "
" Uncle! " they heard a lady yelled " She's your soon to be in law, respect her." She added
" No, "
" I don't need you to accept her, She's my mate. No one! No creature can change that fact, not even you Mr Sean, " When Riella heard that, her heart begin to aches.
Though they couldn't detect who and who was arguing but they both know it was because of Riella.
" I- can't face him, " She said and felt her heart burning. She shook her head and look at Casey who was also down cast by what she heard.
Then they heard a footsteps coming and before the door open, Riella ran off immediately.
" Riella- " She tried to call her back but she was already out of sight. Just then the door knob twisted open, a man in his mid-sixties came out.
He looked at Casey from head to toes, " You don't belong to this pack, you scent differently. Who are you? " He asked with a stern look.
" Er...I'm from the SILVER MOON pack,,,"
" Silver what? Why am I meeting bad lucks this very day? Excuse me, " He cut her off rudely then walk away.
Casey felt like smashing his face but that's not what she came for, she twisted the door open and walked in.
Noelle was the first to notice her presence as her scent hit her nose, though Nathan noticed too but didn't bother looking up.
" Hi! " She waved while Noelle try to recall where she has seen her before.
" You're...Riella's friend, right ? " She asked as she recognize her face. Maybe Riella name mentioned name made Nathan glance at Casey then look away.
"Yes, Casey Norman, " She replied and brought her hand forward for an handshake which Noelle accepted warmly.
" Noelle." She said " What brings you here and why is Riella not with you? " She added asking.
" I just drop by to drop these stuff, Riella sent them. " Casey said and once again Nathan glance at her hand.
" Drop it on the desk and leave." He muttered rudely then adjusted himself on the bed and close his eyes.
Casey somehow fear the look on Nathan's face, she gently dropped the stuff she brought.
" Thank you, " Noelle mounted to her and with that Casey walked out
" Phew! What a cold aura! " She exclaimed as soon as she got out.
" Where the fuck did Riella run to now? "..
**Later at night**
" Go home Noelle. It's past nine already, " Nathan said to Noelle coldly.
" No, I'm staying with you. You're still ill-"
" I'm fucking fine! " He cut her off with a yell , Noelle flinched back out of fear.
" Nathan, " She slowly called, worried and scared he might run wild.
" Go, I want to be left alone. "With that cold voice, Noelle relented and gently took her bag, she walked out.
Then he slowly came down from his comfort- no, the bed seemed difficult to him.
He sat down on a chair close to the window and stare at the space, the stars made him smile.
Then he suddenly turn around and screen the whole room with his wolf grey eyes, he breathed out, " It is better you come out of your hiding, I can perceive your scent, Riella Edmonds. "
8'Shit! He saw me, He has a very sharp nose...That's dumb! He will know my scent , I'm his mate anyways,' Riella mentally told herself feeling embarrassed.Nathan rolled his eyes and folded his arm across his chest, " I don't find hide and seek fun so get the hell out of there, " He said and Riella came out of her hiding. She couldn't dare look up unless she has a death wish. " Er..I..." She stammer as she begin to scratch her neck nervously." What brings you, Riella Edmond of the SilverMoon here ? I didn't send an invite did I? " Nathan blurted out, he has a mixed expression, He is angry to see her but at the same time he's happy she came.Somehow her present ease his heavy heart, " I asked you a question, " Nathan added when Riella seems to be lost in thoughts.' Why is he talking to me in that manner? Shouldn't he atleast respect me? ' She told herself clenching on her fist.'You were the one that rejected him, our mate." Her other half [ wolf side] Ivy replied and her face drop
9**Stefan's House** Stefan walked into his own mansion, he opened the door only to find his friends in. Partying, fucking bitches and smoking blunts." What the fuck is happening here! " He yelled calling to their attention but the music was too loud that they didn't hear.He went over to the speaker and turn it off, they all halted what they're doing ." What the hell,,, Oh, fuck, Stefan you're here already? " One of his friends Joey said pulling up his trouser. Stefan glare at all of them then stare at the ladies dressed in bikini." Get out, " He told them more in a commanding tone. They didn't hesitate to pack whatever belongs to them and rushed out. He made sure he can't perceive their scent before glancing back at his three friends , " What did y'all do that for? What if i was coming home with an elder of the pack? " He asked angrily while his friends look away. He's a man with a bad temper." We are sorry Stefan, we only wanted to help celebrate your upcoming victory, " Finn
episode 10" Come on Nathan, she only came to say hi and you're acting so cold to her, bro! " Noelle screamed more in a scolding tone, Nathan cared less as he looked away, Noelle shook her head and look at Riella who's face was down.She finally looked up, " Fine. I will go but I will like to have a word with him before I take my leave and never show up, " She said then stare at Nathan deeply." Uncle let's go, " Noelle understand the logic and told her uncle." But..." Before her uncle could say a word, Noelle pulled him out." Why did you drag me out like that? " Her uncle questioned as soon as they got outside closing the door behind. " Don't you know what's about go happen? " Noelle asked with a smile while Mr. Sean rolled his eyes." What's about to happen? I still still feel good about that girl, " He mumbled while Noelle shook her head." There's nothing you can do to that Uncle Sean, Nathan already told you whom he chose to be with, and that's his rightful mate. That's fi
11**The pack's meeting hall**" Where is your brother, Noelle? He has to be resent for this meeting for it is urgent . " Elder Marcus said to Noelle who has been looking scared after heard about the meeting taking place." Please talk, Noelle" another elder chip , probably getting pissed off by the silence Noelle rub her sweaty palms together, " He's not feeling too well, " She finally said and lots of murmuring erupt amidst the elders." Why do you mean he's not too well? " Elder Kai asked as he couldn't help but ask, all of them turn their eyes to Noelle waiting for an answer." He can't come because he's a weak leader, " Stefan said coming from behind, the elders turn to face him , Noelle glare at him while he had a dangerous smirk on." What do you mean by that, Stefan? " A elder asked and Stefan walked to their front boastfully and sat on the chair meant for only Nathan." It's wrong to seat on that chair without the owner's permission! Get up! " Noelle yelled from her seat whil
12*Back to Hospital*" What! What the fuck did you say? " Nathan yelled while Noelle play with her fingers. " I made a bet with the elders to let me go and take a look at the border and of i did not succeed, Stefan can ascend the the throne in your stead, " Noelle mumbled and Nathan almost went crazy." You shouldn't have fucking do that! What if you fail huh?"" Nathan! Don't say that! You should be praying I succeed and not cursing me. " Noelle pouted while Nathan rolled his eyes." There's no way am going to allow you go! Stefan might plan something dangerous for you in order to take the seat. " Nathan muttered while Noelle shook her head." No, I will go and I will make sure you're back at your seat. " Noelle coaxed with a determined mind." Noelle,,"" I'm blushing so hard because I'm making you worry about me, " She mumbled trying to cut off what Nathan wanted to say. " I'm a strong wolf, remember? I won a fight against a cougar last moon, " Noelle reminded and raise up her sh
13Riella tried to move from h his grip but he was stronger than him, she had no other option but to stay on his chest, " Nathan..." She called " Don't leave me, stay by my side forever. " He said once again, Riella heart beats fasts that Nathan could feel it." Why is your cheat beating so fast? Do you hate me that much? " He asked " Er...I -"" Don't worry, this is just a dream after all, you will disappear into thin air by morrow, " He mumbled then slowly fell back asleep. " Yeah, this is all a dream. " Riella replied then pull away slowly from his chest and sat at the edge if the bed , "He's suffering and having nightmares because of me, oh! Riella what have you done! " She blamed and slap her forehead.she got lost staring at his lips. " He's got the cutest lips ever, " She found her self crushing and couldn't help but say it out. Then she shook her head, " What the fuck is wrong with me! " She snapped biting her lower lips, she yawn" I'm fucking sleepy, I should go to m
14" Yeah! Have gotten my cabbage, carrot and mayonnaise...oh, where the hell is the egg?? " Riella lamented using her eyes to search if she could find egg." How will my salad taste without the eggs! This is so fucked up, " She pouted and just then a maid walked in." Are searching for something? " She asked and Riella turn to her." Oh, yeah where are the eggs? I can't seem to find them, " Riella asked and the lady mouthed an 'o'" It's in the other room, should I go and get it for you? " The lady asked " Let's go together, I bet the cooking oil is there also? Have been searching for that now too,"The lady nod, " Yes it is. " " Let's go quick I already place the pot on fire, " Riella said and the lady took the lead.Then, they got to the room. It was filled with crate of eggs and kegs filled with cooking oil. ' Is this a store or something? ' Riella wondered. " You must be wondering why it is so filled with crate of egg and oil? " The lady said and it was as if she read her min
15Riella angrily dashed into her room and the first thing she went to was her bags, " I'm going to leave this damn house! I should have listened to Casey before coming here, " She mumbled and started packing up her clothes." If ungrateful people were to receive award it should be that guy called Nathan! " She hissed loudly then her phone blare from her pocket. She pulled it out and Noelle name displayed on the screen, she went ahead to pick it up, "I'm glad you finally called me, I can't do this with your brother. He's the most ungrateful wolf in this land! " Riella blurted out not even giving Noelle chance for pleasantries.Noelle breathe out, " I knew this was going to happen, please Riella you have to say with him , I'm afraid he might go gaga if you leave him by himself, please, " Noelle pleaded calmly but Riella's mind already made up to leave the house.'' I'm so sorry, Noelle that I have to disappoint you, I can't endure your brother character any longer, " Riella said and w
