Chapter 6

Running through the empty halls I breathed heavily as I

desperately made my way to Tate's office.

Once his wooden oak doors came into view I sighed in

relief and ran a little faster, not bothering to knock as I

barged in.

"Tate-" I froze and blushed as a man sat across Tate, the

both of them wore serious faces.

The two men stopped what they were talking about and

both their heads snapped in my direction.

"Elina?" Tate asked standing up in his seat as he looked at

me in concern.

"..who's this Tate?" The man across him asked giving me a

warm smile. I gave him a shy smile and looked down, my

hair covering my face as it played as my protective layer.

"This is my mate, Elina," he said looking at me in concern.

"Luna! Its great to meet you!" the man said looking

ecstatic and I nodded my head in acknowledgement,

blushing in the process.

"Tate," I said clearing my throat, "-I really need to speak to

you," I said giving him a look praying he'd understandit

was urgent.

"Right. Well Simon, if there's anything else you find out

about this, I want you to come and find me right away,"

Tate said not taking his eyes of off me as the man, Simon

made his way out.

"What is it?" Tate asked appearing in front of me. He

brought his hands up to my lips and soothed them out

since I was frowning

The science building, it was on fire!" I said the first thing

that came to my mind.

"I heard. Thomas mind linked me when he heard it from

a student. The fire was put out and now everything's

under control, whats the problem?" He asked stepping

closer to me and he grabbed a piece of my hair, tucking it

behind my ear.

"Yeah, cause I put it out! And-"

"You what?" Tate asked gripping my arms, his face hard,

"-you were in there?" He said in a low growl as his eyes

turned a shade darker.

Gulping I brought my hand to his cheek, caressing it to

calm him down.

"T'm fine. But you have to listen-" I said groaning as he

wasn't listening.

"Did you get hurt? Why wasn't there anyone else to put

it out?" He said his chest rumbling and my patients was

running low.

Grabbing his arm I pulled him along with me, around the

desk and I pushed him into the leather seat, glaring at

him even though his gaze made me shudder.

Tate sat down silently, looking at me with an eyebrow

raised.

I crossed my arms and stood in front of trying to keep up

my hard expression.

"You better be listening." I warned pointing a finger at

him and he smirked also crossing his arms, leaning back

in his seat.

"The fire, it wasn't an accident. It was all planned. I

mean-from what I heard someones trying to destroy the

place or, or I don't know! Somethings very wrong!" I said

starting to pace back and fourth.

Tate stood up almost immediately, and he looked very

angry.

"Who? Who did you hear it from? Tell me!" He said his

jaw clenched and his eyes darkened.

"The science teacher, he was on the phone with someone

named Adrian," I said watching him as he ran his fingers

through his hair.

Wait a minute. I thought carefully

Adrian? Rufus was talking to an Adrian?

Shaking my head I dismissed that thought. He couldn't

possibly be involved in this.

"Simon, one of my best warriors, came to inform me

about rogues circling the borders," he said deep in

thought.

"There could be a high chance someones planning on

an attack," he said in frustration and stayed silent for a

moment.

The doors behind me swung open and I turned around to

see Duncan, Tom and Roger coming in.

"What is it son?" Roger asked, throwing me a smile which

I gladly returned.

"We have some discussing to do," Tate said firmly. Sparing

me one last glance as he sat in his seat. Duncan along with

Roger sat in front of him.

Tom stood silently next to me beside the door.

"Do you think someones planning an attack?" I asked in a

whisper my eyes not leaving Tate.

"Honestly? Yeah," Tom said frowning, "-all these mini

attacks? There bound to add up to something, " he stated

as he leaned on the door frame arms crossed.

"What would you like us to do alpha?" Duncan, Toms

brother asked Tate.

"Theres not much we can do. Get more guards on duty. I

want a guard on every second meter around the whole

perimeter," Tate said and the whole lot of us looked at

him in shock.

"Every second meter?" Duncan chocked out.

"Yes beta. Every second meter. I'd like them out there as

soon as possible," Tate stated and leaned back in his chair

sighing.

His hazel eyes fell on mine and he gave me a weak smile

which I returned.

"If you want guards that close together, to circle the whole

border you're going to need a couple of hundreds,"I said

leaning onto the door behind me.

"A couple of hundreds you say?" Duncan asked glancing

at me and I had the urge to stick my tongue out at him,

remembering our last encounter.

"That can be arranged," Roger said and Tate nodded.

After they discussed a few other things we walked out

of the office and parted ways. Tate however remained

behind with his father and they discussed further

matters.

Exhausted, I went to my room and had a long shower.

The urge to jump in my bed and sleep was strong but my

stomach was hungry.

And when my stomach told me it was hungry, it never

stuttered

Walking to the pearly white kitchen, I had made a

discovery. I was on the empty side of the building.

Meaning, were the Alphas, Betas and other royals stayed.

Someone wants to keep a close eye on me. I thought grimly

as I walked into the pearly white kitchen.

I saw Eddie sitting on the same stool he sat on with me

the last time we were together and I smiled. However it

slightly dimmed in curiosity as I saw a man sitting beside

him.

"Elina!" Eddie yelped as he caught sight of me from the

corner of his eye. He hopped of his stool and ran to me,

his skinny arms wrapping around my torso.

"Hey buddy," I whispered as I knelt down to give him a

proper hug.

"You must be the famous Luna," the man said giving me a

sideways glance.

"Famous?" I said tilting my head as I walked further into

the kitchen grabbing an apple off the fruit bowl.

"Your talked about quite alot around the community," he

said amused drinking his yellow looking liquid.

"This is my uncle," Eddie whispered pointing at the man

who seemed to be in his early thirties.

"Well, its nice to meet you," I said awkwardly nodding my

head.

"Colin," he said simply sipping his drink which smelled

awfully like alcohol.

"Elina," I said returning the gesture but Colin just

smirked.

"Oh, I know," he said shaking his head amused.

Silence followed with that and all that could be heard

was the awkward munching of my apple which I so

desperately tried to tune dowm.

"Did you hear?" Colin suddenly said.

"Hear what?" I asked glancing over at him as he held a

amused look finishing his drink.

"The science teacher. The one you claim had something

to do with the fire," he said with a grin, "-he can't be

found anywhere," he said bringing his cup to his mouth

and tilting his head back. Realising nothings in there he

turned it upside down frowning.

Eddie snorted and then giggled at his uncle.

"He can't be found anywhere?" I said shocked, "what do

you mean? Where is he?" I asked frowning.

Had he ran away?

"Perhaps he left. Went on a vacation even!" Colin beamed,

"

or, he ran way. Looks like it. He just packed up and left.

Right after the fire,"

"Ironic isn't it?" He said with a chuckle.

"Ironic,"I mumbled, "Ironic indeed," I said walking out of

the kitchen.

"Were are you going off to? The fun was only beginning!"

Colin said leaning back in his stool giving me a wide

smile.

"Away from you. Perhaps I'll consider befriending you

once I've met you. Sober," I said rolling my eyes not

turning back.

"Sober? You'll be waiting a long time," I heard the

distance voice as I made my way to my room.

Step 1- woo the shit out of her.

Buy her flowers

Stop being an arrogant asshole to her.

Tell her the truth.

Step 2-figure this out after you get past step 1.

He shook his head and deleted the last sentence to

optimistic.

Step 3-figure this out ifyou get past step 1.

With that he saved the note as important and dialed the

florists number. The only florist he ever bought flowers

for katherine from. James didn't know why he still had

thier number saved on his phone but he didn't care

because they made beautiful flower arrangements and

thats exactly what he needed.

"Hi this is fantasy flowers how may i help you." The

owner Belle picked up on the third ring

"Hi belle its James Saunders i was wondering if you could

deliver some flowers for me please"
