CHAPTER 06

A great horror unfolded in front of Kaylon. The supposed to be a happy meal built on his mind was taken over by a horrific turn. At the moment, he was still for the first time of his life. It was like his life came flashing before his eyes.

“Alpha! What's the mat—?” Monta was also still, but only for a brief second.

“Monta! It's good that you are here. Help me. The Luna's mouth is burning!”

“Wait.” Monta quickly took the pail of fresh water and splashed it directly at the girl.

“Why did you do that?” Kaylon squinted and angrily ran towards the Luna.

“Well, The Luna is calm now. Then, I can now help her.” Monta then grab a blanket.

The girl was still squeaking inwardly. Her tears were flowing as she was trying to control the pain. Her lips were shaking and so was her being.

“Here, dear Luna. Try to drink this. You can also do this . . .” She knew that Monta was trying to tell her something. So she carefully took the bowl in her hand and mimicked Monta’s movement. When her lips met the liquid on the bowl, she silently cried because she didn't know how to thank Monta enough. She even felt better when the liquid hit her throat. Feeling the soothing effect, she just let her mouth be submerged in the liquid. She doesn't know what it was called, but the lovely taste was making her question no more and just savor its effect.

“See? Oh, God. What are you thinking, Sir? You should take good care of her like you are taking good care of a baby. She doesn't know anything yet.” The girl could still see Kaylon scratching his head. His face looks devastated and problematic. She could also feel Kaylon’s racing heartbeat. She clearly knows that it's her fault. She might not know a lot of things around her. But at least she can still properly evaluate like a normal person.

“Bu-but I don't know how to take good care of a child.” He slowly sat beside the girl and started checking on her. Kaylon raised his hand but immediately put it down again.

“I’m sorry if I disrespected you earlier, Sir. I acted out in the line. It won't happen again.”

“It’s okay. Thanks for your help. Also tell the captain to get Wildrift ready. We will be sailing back to our home at dawn. The Luna needs medical care. Maybe it's also time for us to settle down for a moment.” The girl could see the happiness in Monta's eyes. She might not understand what they were talking about, but she could feel the happy energy radiating in the air.

“Consider it done, Sir,” Monta said, before disappearing quickly.

After some time, she decided to check on Kaylon because she was wondering why he was completely silent. Her instinct was right. Seeing his gloomy eyes, she became gloomy too. She slowly put the bowl down and held Kaylon’s face. Her hand was shaking because she didn't know if she was doing it right. She slowly kneeled on the floor and kissed his forehead. In an instant, she could see a broad smile starting to form on Kaylon’s lips.

“I want to take you home. To meet our people. Oh, how long has it been since I last visited them? I am starting to become a horrible Alpha . . . Just like him. But I'll make it up to them. I'm okay now. I have you now. Let me see your mouth.” He held her chin and gently rubbed it.

“I’m sorry . . .” she quickly hugged him and gently tapped his back.

“You are a quick learner, my love. It's been three days, but I still don't know your name. Let me introduce myself to you first. I am Kaylon Axon. Kaylon Axon. You? You?” He repeatedly pointed at her. She shook her head when she realized what Kaylon was trying to ask.

He giggled excitedly and slightly rubbed her cheeks. “I will name you then. . . Balvina Ran. Those names hold a deep meaning in my heart. Just like you. Bal . . .” A glimmer of hope was showing in Kaylon's eyes.

“Bha- B-ha . . . Bha . . .l” Her pale cheek was now turning red thinking if she got it right. She wasn't saying anything more but her mouth was still gaping. She could vividly feel the strain on her jaw.

“Yes! That's right!” Kaylon giggled again. Bal could feel that he was genuinely happy. It made her feel the happiest too. A clear sign that she got the word right.

Hours had passed . . .

While they approached the dock, Bal was beyond agitated and restless. Her eyes were wandering and she’s adamant to leave the island. She doesn't want to leave her mice friends behind. But she was thinking about whether to tell everyone or Kaylon about it. Bal was aware that the communication would be her number one hindrance. She was trying to learn but absolutely didn't know where to start.

“Miss Bal? Are you okay? Do you want to ask something? Aren't you happy to leave this island? We are going home. To the Dominant island. The castle there is big. And most of all, the people. Your people are gorgeous. They will surely love you.”

Monta’s so much talking which Bal doesn't understand is just adding to her problem. Her eyes were constantly moving and so was her wrinkled forehead. Upon sensing something uncanny, Bal immediately lowered her body. Her senses were at their peak.

“Hisss!” She angrily stomped on the sand. Her defense is up while looking at those huge men that she's going to save from the human eater kind of floor. Bal was touching the sand while waving to the people who were following her and Monta to stay back. She's in full defense mode to be precise.

“Miss Bal, it's okay. See? It's just sand. You don't have to be afraid of it,” said Monta. Bal was now staring at Monta who was jumping and dancing on the floor that she named sand. Showing her that it's not a dangerous floor or anything that close to being a danger to the pack. That's when Bal's idea hit her. Bal began looking around trying to find a piece of wood. Seeing that the floor can give off a mark just by stepping on it, she assumed that it would be paper too. Bal thought that she could only draw on paper, just like Kaylon taught her. But at that moment she realized that there can be plenty of materials around her that can be used as paper. Just like what Kaylon did to the wood using a sword.

“Sss-sssh!” Her hand is unstoppably moving in the air trying to get Monta’s attention. Bal wanted to say the word ‘See!’ But she ended up hissing like a snake. Acting strange in front of everyone and appearing

to be a lunatic that was out of reach. ‘As expected, they will never understand me! I'm an idiot!’ Bal thought.
