Chapter 13
Amelia's POV
I knew he was behind me. I stood up and turn around facing down. The closer he came, the stronger was his scent. His scent was seriously a blessing and a cruse.
It made me so happy when I smell his scent, yet it drives me crazy. It was the only thing of him I can have. No one else can smell his scent except for me.
"How are you kids feeling?" he asked looking at the kids. "We are fine. Thanks to the Luna." one of the boy said. He abruptly nodded his head.
He took a deep breathe before leaving. I turn around to see his retreating figure. From what I can see he has a slight graze on his arm, which is already healing.
I sighed in relieve. He was ok. I am happy that he is safe. I was so worried that something might have happened to him. Knowing he was ok, was such a relieve.
I played with the kids for awhile before going to my room. My head was spinning but I wouldn't tell that or else, they'll make me go back to the infirmary.
I was walking up the stairs when at the last step I felt as if I was going to fall when someone caught my arm. I felt tingles from the touch
I steadied myself before looking to see who helped me and got shocked. It was Xavier. He let go of me once I steadied myself.
He gave me a slight nod and left. I saw him going down the steps. Once he left my sight, I recovered from my shock and squealed like a little girl and ran to my room.
I did a happy dance when my head started spinning again. I lay in my bed letting my dizziness go off. After some time it went off and I was better.
I stood up to take a shower as I reeked of the infirmary. I wore my grey romper and decided to take some rest. My head was literally pounding.
I feel like I slept for hours when I heard a soft knocking. I pushed my duvet away and open the door to be engulfed into a hug.
"Thank goddess you are alright." Noah said as he checked for injuries. I laughed at his concern. "1 am alright. All in one piece.” I said twirling.
He chuckled. "You on the other hands, are not.” I said pointing to the graze at his arms. "They'll heal.” he said nonchalantly.
Of course they would. Stupid werewolf healing. I let him come in. "Did you get that checked?" I asked him worried. "Yeah Alpha King made sure all of us were checked.”
I smiled at that. He maybe ruthless but he cares for his people immensely. "Your head looked pretty bruised up. You sure you are ok?" he asked concern pointing to my bandage.
"I am fine. I promise.” I said assuring him. "What happened though?" he asked me questioningly. I sighed as recited everything that happen.
To tell that he was shocked would be an understatement. "That's so cool. I didn't know, you knew combat fighting.” he said exclaiming.
"From everything I said, that's all you get?" I asked amusingly. He let out a nervous laugh. I looked to see his wound was almost healing.
I asked him to take some rest and as he left. I was starting to feel bored. I heard Nathan saying there was a library here and decide to check it out.
I wear my fluffy sandals and went to the library recalling how to get there from what Nathan told me. Hopefully I am not lost.
By goddess's grace I wasn't lost and found the library even though it took me 15 minutes, I still made it. This place is literally like a fortress.
The library was pretty huge. I am pretty sure there's every kind of books here. I went to look through the books, I picked a random book and sat in the couch and started reading.
After about half and hour, I heard a soft music bring played. It was melodious. It was attracting me. I put down the book and went towards the direction of the music.
As I went closer, the clearer the music was. It was a piano music. I took one last turn, and came to a hall. I saw a figure sitting in front of the piano.
Due to the darkness I was unable to figure who it was. But with the little moon light, I came out with the facial features. It was Xavier.
It was a soft and low music. It wasn't sad or depressing. But one emotion I can make out was, loneliness.
I stood there for minutes hearing him play the music. I have never seen him this vulnerable before. It was like he was pouring out what was inside of him.
His emotion. His feeling. Like he was missing something. I hear him play for few more minutes and left not wanting to be caught by him.
I went back to the library and continued to read the book. At least tried to. I could still faintly hear his music. It was calming and soothing.
Without realising I fell asleep, wishing I could always go to sleep while listening to this melodious sound.
The next morning, I groaned and woke up. When I wake up, the first thing I realised was that there was a blanket on me. I don't remember having this blanket.
I shrugged it off thinking someone who walked passed must have put it on me. I went back to my room and got ready.
Today was luckily, weekend which means I can stay at home. Home. I smiled thinking about that. Home is not a place. Its the people you love.
And the person I love is here. Which makes this home. I wore my running clothes and went for a jog around the territory. It was 5am, so not many were here.
After my ran, I quickly showered. It was currently 6.45am. I had wanted to ask Nathan something so decided to go see him.
“Nathan are you awake?" After few minutes, he responded saying he was awake. I had asked him if he was free and he said he was free and in the dinning area.
I went to the dinning area to see him and few other pack warriors, including Noah, having breakfast. They greeted me as I walk passed me.
I stopped by Noah to check how he was. "Hey. How is your arm?” I asked him, inspecting his arm. It was healed up. "As you can see, its all healed"
I nodded and went to Nathan. "Hey bro." I said sitting beside, taking one of his fruit. He glared at me but continuing eating. "I wanted-"
Before I can ask, he stopped me. "Before you can say anything, you need to go get your wound checked up." he said pointedly. I was about to argue but he shut me with one glare.
After he was done eating, we went to the infirmary. The doctor checked and said it was healing. I was healing at human speed since I wasn't graced with werewolf healing.
After that we were walking when I decided "Hey can I ask you something?" I asked slowly. "Sure. What is it baby sis?"
"lwaswonderingiflcantraintoo?” I asked quickly. He gave me the confused look. I took in a deep breathe before continuing.
"I was wondering if I can train too.” the moment I said this he came to a halt. He looked at me if I was crazy. "Nope. Absolutely no." he said walking fast.
I groaned. "Please. Look, I know how to fight. I just need to be trained. I will be able to protect myself. I don't have to wait for someone to save me and all.” I tried to explain
He stopped and started to think. I know he was self conflicted. After sometime I can see him come to a decision.
"Alright. But who is supposed to train you. Everyone is werewolves here. And I wont be able to train due to Beta duties.”
"Noah. He can train me." I said quickly. "He is my friend. He is one of the good fighters. He will know my pace. Please." I said making the puppy face.
He groaned and nodded his head. I squealed as we started walking. We were in the field where I saw Noah. We walked towards him.
"Noah." Nathan called out to him. He was in his Beta mode. "Yes Beta Nathan?" he asked Nathan with respect. "I would like you to train The Luna Queen. Make sure you go on her pace and she doesn't get deeply injured.”
I can see the smile form in Noah's lips but quickly covered it. He nodded his head in respect. Nathan told him few more stuff. He gave some safety measure lectures and left.
"So, Luna Queen, you ready?" he asked in a teasing way. We laughed before started training.
