《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 10:Mate- Part 1
Advertisement
I was still sitting on Ruka's lap savoring every second of it. My words couldn't express the shock and excitement I now felt with everything being told. To be told that someone was made just for me brought me immense joy.
I did not feel the sparks and tingles how Rini had explained when mates touched each other but I felt warm and safe with the person sitting with me now. I took a deep breath inhaling his woodsy scent which was making me giddy.
"Eve I have something important to talk about," Ruka said breaking the trance I was in. I waited for him to continue.
"You remember what I told about you getting attacked that day by those two vampires?" I nodded my head, "Our doubt was right."
"What do you mean?" I asked him and after a few fractions of seconds, it dawned to me. That could not be possible.
"We thought it was just a random occurrence that happened. However, it wasn't possible. We have execution system in the arcade wherein if someone broke the law the penalty is death and this was one of them. Even after doing some investigation with the best trackers it was a dead end," he explained looking out from the window.
"But I never was involved with any vampires in my past except for one werewolf guy," I told him and he snapped his neck looking at me his eyes turning red and his posture turning stiff. I was aware of why vampires or werewolves eyes turn red or black. It meant only one thing. Anger, lust or jealousy. A strong emotion. Now, it did not seem like it was the former.
"Werewolf guy?" he asked cooly carrying a certain edge to his voice. Was he jealous?

"Yes, he's my best friends mate, Alex," I told him a little worried. I did not want him getting into a bad spot because of me, and it was another thing that Rini would chew me alive.
"Midnight packs beta?" he asked me. I nodded a yes and his posture seems to relax. So he knew him. Of course, he would know, I thought to myself.
"I think someone has figured out that you are my mate and that's the only reason I can think of now," he then took a deep breath, "You have nothing to worry about it. I will have Louis accompany you during school," he said smiling at me softly.
"No, I don't need that!" I protested. I did not want anyone babysitting me. I was perfectly fine taking care of myself.
"Your safety comes first love," and he continued, "You'll have combat lessons on weekends to defend yourself."
I gawked at him. Did I hear him what he said right? Was I preparing for war? This is stupid, I wanted to tell him but looking at his cool demeanor I just nodded my head.
"That's good." Dumb idiot, I scolded myself.
"For now I want you to keep the mate thing under the lid. Not even your friends at least until this whole attack thing is sorted out. Sebastian, Louis and Elizabeth are the only ones who are informed about it," I felt a slight disappointment but said an okay to it.
"Now then let's go eat," he said as I felt my stomach rumble which made my cheeks go a red shade.
We went to the dinner hall and saw Lizzy, Louis, Sebastian and three other people sitting already. There was a woman in her thirties and a fiery haired girl. Then there was a little boy who looked not more than three, Was he immortal too? They sat there talking like any normal family. I wonder where or what happened to Ruka's parents.

The seat next to Ruka was occupied by Sebastian and opposite to it sat a fiery haired girl. I made a eye contact with her and she glared at me. Wow, if looks could kill I thought dryly. When I took the nearest seat that was near the woman, she introduced herself with a warm smile,
"I'm Andria." She seemed sweet, "this is my son Aiden and that is our acquaintance, Megan," pointing to the fiery hair girl.
"Eve," I introduced myself politely, "Hi Aiden," I baby talked to him. He turned to look at me with his big brown eyes full of mischief. I smiled at him and he smiled back showing me his tiny teeth. I looked at Megan only to receive glares from her. What was she even glaring for?
"So Eve," Sebastian spoke, "How was school ?" he asked casually.
"Okay I guess. I survived," I grinned. He was easy to speak to who had a laid back character.
"That's good. I heard you met our annoying sister and Louis," he said referring to Lizzy, to which she glared at him.
"I'm not annoying," she protested as the food was brought in and we started eating. Ruka seemed to be talking to Megan about something.
"Any boys you liked?" he wiggled his eyebrow suggestively. This made Louis throw a dirty glare to Sebastian and Lizzy choked. Ruka seemed unfazed with it.
"Nope," I replied him back. Ruka had told he knew about us being mates then why was he trying to talk about guys. Ah, he was trying to ruffle Ruka's feathers but he seemed unfazed by Sebastian's question.
Was it because of that whole pull thing which was not in effect yet? Were we even mates? Yes, I did have an attraction to him, who would not? With that messy pitch-black hair, his piercing deep eyes, his perfect kissable pink lips...stop thinking that. I concentrated on my plate where the delicious food was waiting to be picked.
"Why is she even here?" a voice spoke up making me startle. It was Megan and she looked furious.
