Chapter 23 His Violent Aura
Sibyl’s POV
The unfamiliar smell of my surroundings was the first thing that registered in my mind as I gradually regained consciousness. My thoughts felt as light as feathers, it took me a moment to reconnect with my body.
Blinking groggily, 1 focused on the sight of the bare ceiling above me. “Where am I?‘ I softly murmured, my voice barely audible as I struggled to piece together the events of the previous day. Amidst the blur of memories, one image stood out clearly: Keshton kissing me.
My eyes widened as I held my breath tightly. “What kind of crazy dream did I have?” I whispered to myself, my hands subconsciously tightening on the bed sheet.
“You’re awake,” a familiar voice reached my ears, causing me to immediately look towards the bedside table where Glen sat.
Surprised, I asked, “Why are you here?”
Instead of answering my question directly, he remarked, “I never thought you would be so obedient and actually take a hit.
I blinked in silence, slowly sitting up in bed. “Why do you look disappointed over the fact that I obeyed you?” I inquired.
“Because I feel like shit now, knowing a woman was injured because of me, Glen muttered, running his hand through hair in frustration.
“I’m fine now,” I reassured him. The pain in my body had vanished and the silver was starting to fade from the wound. “Plus I’m responsible for my own actions and decisions. I don’t blame you, I explained.
“Still, I’m sorry,” he murmured, getting up and turning away. “Here, this is yours, Glen said, passing her a mobile phone. “Where did you get it?” I asked, taking it eagerly.
away using the window, I picked it up. I just haven’t had a chance to return
“The day we came to your apartment and you ran aw it to you,” he explained.
“Thank you,” I smiled at him gratefully. I had thought I had lost my phone and would have to spend the money to buy a new one. I tried to switch it on, but the battery was dead.
He just nodded in response and informed her, “You can take the day off of work.”
“The day off?” I blinked at him in surprise, but then a woman entered the room.
“Please excuse us.” I gestured to Clen, showing off things in my hand.
When he left, the woman approached to check my injuries. “Can I go home?” I asked impatiently.
“Your wounds are healing very fast with the help of your wolf. You’re nearly healed, so yes, you can go,” the woman smiled at
live.
I let out a relieved sigh. There was an unexplainable pressure in my mind from being in this place.
“Here,” the woman passed me a beautiful paper bag
“What is this?” I inspected the contents of the bag in confusion to find a new set of clothes inside. It was a simple knee–length loose maxi dress, “Who brought this…”
The woman read my confusion and replied, “The Alpha that brought you here.”
I dropped the dress from my hand in shock. Did she just say an Alpha was with me? The dream crossed my mind as I stared
at the woman
“Do you mean Alpha Keshton? He was here?” My voice only squeaked slightly.
“Yes, he left late last night after passing me this bag and paying the bill,” she smiled and turned to leave.
Chapter 23 His Violent Aura
I sat there with wide eyes. My hand went to my lips where I felt Keshton’s hot lips crashing against mine. A flush crossed cheek. I felt a warmth rising within me. It had not been a dream Keshton had really been there, and he kissed me?
I put my hand over my mouth in shock. Why had he kissed me? Was it a mistake? This time our lips were not that close tor mistake to happen like last time. What had he meant by not liking me being touched by another man? Nothing made sense
here
Standing under the shower, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, my hand subconsciously went to my neck where the patch: covering my mate mark was. She peeled it off and stared at it.
My mind echoed Keshton’s words. ‘I don’t like when other men touch you!
I bit my lip lightly and murmured to myself. Why would he say that?”
After getting dressed I went straight from the healer’s territory to the Eclipse Moon Pack. The hospital staff were concerned about me and talked about my well–being, which warmed my heart. After chatting with them for a little while, I began attending to patients with the doctor. Surprisingly, the woman from the brothel was gone.
Thinking about her, I began working here and there until my eyes fell on the packhouse. Keshton’s face crossed my mind. sending my heart into a panic. I shook my head and went outside the clearing to retrieve a few boxes of medical supplies that were being unloaded. Carrying three heavy boxes, I began making my way back to the hospital when a hand took two boxes from my grasp..
I looked up in surprise to find Aries beside me, “Aries”
“I knew you wouldn’t take the day off,” he chuckled.
I flashed him an embarrassed smile. “Actually, resting is not something I’m used to, plus working makes me feel better,” I explained. Spending a whole day at home doing nothing was really hard for a woman who was used to working everyday of her life. Especially one that was once a pack’s Luna Another reason was that I didn’t want to lose today’s pay.
Just as one fills a pot drop by drop, my debt was going to be repaid with my small daily earnings. I couldn’t risk losing that money!
Holding the boxes in one hand, Aries stretched his other hand out to touch my head, where I had been badly bleeding the other day. “Are you really feeling better?” he asked.
I was surprised by his sudden touch and looked up at him. His baby blue eyes were full of sincere sadness. “I’m sorry I couldn’t come to help you before you were attacked.”
I stared at him for a couple of seconds. His sadness was so strong that even my heart softened, as if I had done something wrong. “I’m really okay. Don’t blame yourself for something that you’re not responsible for,” I said, flashing him a light smile. “And“I paused, pointing at his finger that was touching my wound ever so slightly, “That hurts.”
“Oh, shit! Sorry he exclaimed, pulling his hand back.
I laughed at him, “I lied”
His lips curled into a smile as he laughed along with me.
As we headed towards the store room. Keshton’s car pulled up in the clearing. 1 froze in place, my smile instantly disappearing. Keshton stepped out of the car, with Glen following behind him. Our eyes met and I felt my heart start to race. I hadn’t prepared to face him so soon after the kiss. How should I act? I clenched my fists at my sides, secretly bracing myself as he approached only as he walked right past me.
I stood there, stunned. The look in his eyes, it didn’t seem like the eyes of a man who had just kissed me. He seemed normal, as if we were strangers passing by. That normaley didn’t align with what had happened between us the previous day.
You’re back. I’ve been waiting for
you.” Aries greeted Keshton as he walked past me to join the males
My mind went blank when I realized Keshton had just kissed me impulsively, without a second thought. He had acted on a whim, toying with my emotions, He was just playing with me.
For a moment, I had forgotten that he was also a man, with all the tendencies that came with it. The corner of my lips curled into an enraged smile as I lifted my chin and continued walking without looking back.
