Chapter eleven: When the arrow found her

“ What about the embarrassment “, do you even care about how I felt , she yelled out her eyes almost teary.

“ About what I told you the party is all about fun”, Rowen defended.

He took a deep breath before muffling the words beneath his breath. His palms rested on his temples.

“All I'm trying to do is to explain to you , and it's falling on deaf ears , his frustrated glance caught with her stressed expression .

The party had ended early already , the clock in the room ticking in a way that could send rage boiling through . It was annoying.

Nico starred at Rowen expecting an answer , she had been embarrassed right at the party apart from the whole story, Rowen had made a mockery of her.

“ Latisha is my sister , my blood sister “, Rowen finally said as Nico looked at him, her mouth wide agape.

She is my blood sister and she is back. He went silent after his statement like he was expecting her to say something.

Maybe a word ?

Or a statement ?

Nico kept quiet, staring at him in wide amusement .

“she left the pack seven years ago and she hasn't been back since then “. He concluded

“ So ….you are saying Latisha is your younger sister who unexpectedly showed up at my welcome party to make a mockery of me “?.

She paused her statement for a while “ she totally said everything about my marriage to you ,and you find that not demeaning? “

He nodded his head while walking towards the bathroom , his towel hanging around his neck.

Nelson stared at Nico who looked quite displeased, he sat on his chair while typing out some messages, his toothbrush right on the table as he continued to type .

“ What are you currently doing “?, she asked while staring at him in a way that seemed like he was obliged to answer her question ..

“ You really don't need to know “, his response was cold and formal , it gave her space to rethink .

It wasn't like they shared any bond , he was just her alpha , that was all , she owed alliance to the pack and not to him.

“ I booked a tour session of the dawnhill pack for you “ , he stated non-chalantly , his eyes glued to his laptop screen.

“ I deserve an apology not a tour “, her hands folded against her chest, the make up on her face hung closely to her chin, her lips drenched in lipgloss.

“ If there is anyone who owes you an apology it's latisha not me”, he stated holding his white towel firmly while standing .

“ So “? Nico questioned while being so uninterested in the conversation.

“ You are in this already Luna Nico “, he smirked his lips forming a twist.

It was true it wasn't like she had any solution aside from the delima she was in. Stuck in a loveless and sexless marriage , the few days she had spent in the dawnhill pack already taught her better.

“ It's about 40 minutes to your tour session “ ,he said, diverting his gaze towards his watch .

She spotted it , the ring engraving of the watch looked quite expensive .

“ You would be late for your tour , I advise you to leave now “, Rowen groaned.

“ I'm going to look for something to wear real quick , " she took quiet steps as her hands grazed against the wardrobe despite the overwhelming thoughts that buzzed in her mind

She picked a light yellow dress which had a little touch of purple , it was sleeveless and quite short , simple yet stylish in a pleasing manner .

These dresses were tight , inconvenient and lacked space. It wasn't like she was going to a pageantry or something ..

Rowen had disapproved of her dresses , so it wasn't like she could dress in a manner that she liked , especially when he went all out to get her more decent clothes .

She finally got out of the room, looking for Clara who she had called a few minutes ago .

Latisha walked towards her , her black aura making her that noticeable , she was dressed in black palazzo pants with a long top that moved freely , a scarf around her neck while her black heel clicked the marble tiles announcing her presence right before she got there …

“ Good morning Nico”, she stated while smiling , Clara found Nico who seemed quite disturbed by her attitude.

“ I'm sorry about last night “, Latisha admitted however she held her hands up in the air , twitching on chewing gum loudly while rolling her hands up in the air .

“ We would catch up later “, Nico added, bidding her head in a manner like she was willing to give it up .

They had finally gone round the kingdom in circles, from the lighthouse which was the main power source of the dawnhill pack , to the pack house , and then to the market area which was the most crowded

“ I'm tired “, she said, sweat dripping down her face as she wiped them slowly with her handkerchief .

It was just like rowen intentionally wanted her out , she still couldn't draw the line between convenience and comfortability …

“ Luna, are you good “ ? , Clara said in a view to distract the tour guide who was walking faster than they were

“ I think we should call a car , she seems really tired “, the tour guide turned his head, instantly walking towards the side of the road while muttering some words.

“ Is she that weak? “ , someone mumbled in the crowds while watching her sit on the rock. They were in the market square , it was crowded , filled with people who had different things to do .

“ Maybe ?, who knows !

I mean she can never be that strong and all “ , Nico looked annoyed , but she had realized that , it just wasn't every rumor that needed an answer.

Swapping her feet against the ground , Clara followed swiftly behind her .

An arrow came from nowhere flying through the wind faster than the speed of light ..

It hit her through her arm , “ aaah”, a shout escaped her lips, immediately she fell to the ground ….

“ Luna Nico “, the tour guide, ran from a distance , holding her firmly …

“ Call the alpha , we need a car to take her to the park hospital”, Clara nodded, dailing the number hastily …

Blood oozed out of the wound, the mark leaving a significant blow on her while the wound inflated with time .

Slowly her eyes closed, shutting down as utter darkness engulfed her

“ Luna Nico “ !!
