Alpha's Nala
Chapter 3. Do Not... Be Afraid
Legaxy
“Remember what?” I inquired innocently, which earned me a glare from him.
“Seriously Legaxy? The Red Moon Ball is scheduled to happen next week.” He stated, crossing his arms in front of his chest, “Don't tell me you forgot all about it already.” He added, sounding upset.
I made an 'Oh' face, and he did get it that I forgot the once-in-a-lifetime party of the Vampire — Witch race, where every single Vampire and Witch finds their RED — for werewolves, it's equal to 'mate'.
Seth only grunts a response at me.
Of course, he will be angry and disappointed by my oblivious state — which I may say is temporary — since he always mentioned this to me every year he joins the ball.
Regardless, like every year, Seth never found his Red. I don't know why or how the process works for them, but sadly, he never gets a match.
Not even once, if I may add...
He's already 28, and I don't know if he is still willing to look for his Red since he did end up choosing the security forces, where he guards and protects, over waiting for someone who never came.
Embarrassed, I bit my lip.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to forget about it. I've been a bit... unfocused lately. Hotel stuff, don't ask.” I apologized, chewing the inside of my lip as I abruptly recalled the heated morning meeting session we have with Mr. Black.
All the arguments that took place, the screams that left the lips, the unfiltered and foul language bouncing around the room, and the fist pounding on the porcelain table causing it to crack.
Yeah, that kind of stuff, which left me a bit 'distracted' at the moment.
I guess I'm not over it as I believed it to be...
Seth sighed and seeing how 'inattentive' I really was at that minute, he became quiet for a while.
All of a sudden, he pinched my left cheek to look at him.
“Hey, it's alright cheeky boo. I'm the one who's sorry here. Stress got the best of me.” He sighed again. “It's just... hard, and knowing it's a big day, everyone doesn't just expect it to be perfect. Rather, they WANT it to be perfect.” He explained, flashing a sad smile at me.
I only blinked a few times, getting off of the recollection I was having, before registering into Seth's apologetic eyes.
“That's why Dad didn't pick you up. Overtime — again, but he said he was sorry.” He added softly while rubbing my cheek with his thumb.
I nodded at him in understanding and finally, went inside the car. As he entered the driver's seat and laid my backpack beside him, I caught him sniffing the air.
I scowled.
“Do you ever stop that, Kuya?” I asked.
He looked confused as he glanced my way.
“What do you mean? I always do this.” He stated.
“But you're off duty. It's not like somebody's going to jump out of the bushes and hurt us.” I protested, scrunching my nose in the process.
He chuckled.
