Call me Pyrrhus

RUBY~

As I shuttle towards the car, I suddenly realized something.

I was harsh to Pyrrhus just now and it's so gross and unworthy of me to do so.

The pain inflicted by the man I had complete trust in ana even gave my precious kidney to, had left me so scarred that when this Lycan Pyrrhus touched me, it marred my soul.

"What have you done Ruby?" I blamed myself inwardly.

From the look of it, seems that this man is trying to open up sometime to me but I had recoiled I didn’t even consider the possibility of being interested in someone romantically.

But on second thoughts, Michael has had broken my heart into so many pieces that it would take time to heal up. My mind was a mess.

I washed I was Michael's mate like I was to this man but things don't always go my way it seems.

Lycan Pyrrhus is my mate, even though I don't really want to concur, I'm drawn to him, but why do I always feel weighed down anytime he talks about this?

Taking a ragged breath, I turned around before I got to the car and looked at him. He clenched his fists on the side as if hating that I stepped away from him.

I can understand his feelings, if it was me, I would have done thesame, I could tell how I feel when I sighed those divroce papers.

The intensity and raw desire in his eyes were just as strong as when I first saw him at my failed wedding anniversary. Out of nowhere, I started finding the idea of getting involved with him tempting.

“Em... Ly... Lycan Pyrrhus?,” I finally found my voice to ask, “I’m sorry, but I need time to mend my heart. I don’t want to be claimed by anyone right now.”

He stabbed his fingers in his hair. “Look, I told you that you can take your time. You haven't signed the contract so it's nice that you withdraw before it's too late. But remember this Ruby Moon, Don't hate the road because you're missing home... you don't always know where that road can still take you to"

Damn! These words stabbed me. His gentle and serene tone did nothing but refresh my marred soult at that moment.

Is this what it feels like to have a mate? Is that why Michael left me for Vera because of the mate pull?

I opened my mouth to day something but nothing came out and I feel so bad.

To my surprise, Lycan Pyrrhus laughed it off, "How about we just start getting to know each other within one or two months? Even if we're mates, we should still know each other right?"

Lowering my head, I nodded like a fool. Now that I was bound by the contract and fate, I had to open up to him. “I’ll try, Lycan Pyrrhus, but please be patient with me.”

“Absolutely,” he replied, taking a step closer to me, but not touching me. “I can wait for as long as you want”

I lowered my gaze, Why did it seem like he was lying? Why did he look like he was having a hard time holding himself around me?

Nevertheless, his assurance meant a great deal to me. Most Alphas were not so patient. They just claimed their Lunas even if the Lunas weren’t ready. Yet, this Lycan Pyrrhus was different, and I liked that part about him.

“Thanks…” I murmured.

He pocketed his hands as we both walked towards the car but he suddenly turned around when he was about to enter the car.

"But why do oi keep calling me Lycan Pyrrhus?"

My brows perked up, "Why? Isn't that your name?"

He sighed, "You can call me Pyrrhus"

I snickered as entered the car before he'll any other thing.

He took me to his mansion and had dinner in his dining hall for the first time. He insisted I sit on the right as he sat at the head of the table.

I had giggled when he did this. "So nice of you Pyrrhus"

He giggled and after the meal, my things from the hospital were brought.

I was shown the room I'll be staying and Pyrrhus have to excuse himself to go attend to somethings.

My joy knew no bounds as I was arranging the room to my taste, then it stuck me that I don't have any dresses of my own.

I shuttle towards the study where Pyrrhus say he'd be and I was about to knock on the door when I heard some distinct chatters from the room.

"Lycan Xavier are you telling me to let her go now we you people are the ones that pushed me to marry her?" Lycan Pyrrhus asked with a stern tone and the latter from over the phone responded almost immediately, "My King, an Omega is an Omega, why must be pardon her because she's your mate?"

"My word is rule here Lycan Pyrrhus. Either you and the others like it or not, Ruby is now your Luna!" He thundered back, my heart trembled.

I heard the sound of the call ending and his secretary's voice came, "My King, you're cursed, isn't it too dangerous to keep her here?"

"My curse belongs to me Edison. It doesn't have anything to do with Ruby. Make her comfortable and don't hesitate to give her whatever she wants. She's my mate and now my Luna, I can't leave her to jeopardy" Pyrrhus's response cut like a knife to my soul.

So his pack members is not in real support of all these but give me a shelter and protection, he had to go this far?

'What more are you going to do for me Pyrrhus?' I muttered silently.
