MY ALPHA BODYGUARD

CHAPTER 15: SMALL TOWN OF LAKESIDE

POV: Adam

As the sun making its way to his rest and give the moon her full dominion over the vastness of the sky, I then gradually felt weird on my body. It is not new to me but a familiar feeling of heat. A kind of fever not of physical weakly or sickly but of rising of urges, excitement and desire. No way! It's full moon and Eris is within reach. Werewolves heat is intense and stronger in full moons especially when, it's like forever since we've mated. I can't make a scene here though I really need to release this otherwise my body will charge me by becoming weak and sick.

I need to get out of here, at least, enough distance from Eris before I could not restrain myself and snatched him. I slowly walked out of the set and find a perfect hiding place. The moon is now on its fullest when their Executive Producer came and I really felt like I'm going to burst in high temperature for resisting this heat mating phenomenon. I walked and walked like a drunk bee avoiding the addictive fragrance of the rose and sweet ecstasy of its nectar.

I reached the natatorium without my awareness. Fortunately, the pool is full of water like a cold sea of break up as my brain reminding me of Eris answering my confession with just these words 'It's okay'. Then the next thing I know was that I'm already covered by this coldness not only outside but also inside. My body was in full heat manifesting high physical temperature, intense hard muscles and blushing-like red and sweaty skin but my heart was like inside a cold freezer waiting for Eris to open and pick it out of the frozen box of loneliness.

It felt like I was submerged under the pool for just seconds when suddenly I felt arms grabbing me up and out of this drenched prison. "What're you doing?" I said to Marco while preventing him on rescuing me. He paused on swimming and looked at me sarcastically, then he sniggered, "What ARE YOU doing?!" Marco answered me back more like scolding me. We reached the side of the pool and I lay down, eyes closed with fast and heavy breathing. "We're on the college's natatorium. I don't know what happened but he's burning like hell" he said in a loud voice like worried friend to his younger pal while his hand rest on my forehead. Swiftly, I tapped his hand out and then I sat up immediately. I looked at him intensely and said, "It's Eris? Please don't let him come near me" I warned him but he didn't respond obviously Marco is confuse for what've I said. "I'm totally okay. I'm not sick. Its just that I need to keep away from him tonight.... No in three nights" I explained and clearly he couldn't follow.

"With what you are saying right now, you are not 'Okay'" Marco said and smirked, "Let's go. I'm pretty sure he's worried" he continued. 'Worried' this word made my heart sting a bit of warmness. Eris is worried of me, 'tis enough to know. But... I stood up when I heard someone is coming.

"Marco, tell Eris don't worry about me and don't look for me tonight and ... also the next two nights. I will be outside his tent early in this morning" then without permission I ran away from the natatorium and, "Where are you going? You're his bodyguard, remember, you need to be with him 24/..." Marco shouted as I gradually disappeared in the darkness of the night with the moon and the stars only are the source of light above.

POV: Eris

"Where's Adam?" I asked Marco as I ran from the distance behind the two staffs sent by our director.

"You know, your bodyguard's really strange" Marco explained while his forehead was like a crumpled paper.

"You said he's in fever, so where is he?" I asked again like a mother looking for answers. I need to calm myself. This night has been such a stress and Adam even joined in the worry. So what is his game now?

"He already left like he's really need to avoid you for something. He's acting weird" Marco explained in a confused and irritated manner. Then he continued, "And he said weird things...that he needs to stay away from you tonight and the next"

"What.. do you mean?" I asked. I looked around the area for hopes that I might see him hiding somewhere.

"I..I don't know. Why don't you asked him" he said now in full beast mode. "' 'Tomorrow' because he said don't look for him tonight" Marco smirked, "Whatever happened to him his our cargo" then he exited the huge college natatorium. Adam, really? What is the meaning of this? What kind of game are you playing? Huh, you wanna play hide and seek but I prefer truth or dare.

'You are my mate Eris. You are my Luna. Our soul are fated together since we're born' said the familiar voice. A manly sound that resonates through my heart and vibrates in every fiber of my being. I don't understand the meaning of his words but I am sure it is true. It is sincere and calm.

'I don't understand' I answered, then made a step backwards but the familiar suitor held my hands and pulled me back to my position and nearer.

'I am a werewolf...' I was stunned. What is he talking about? Werewolf? Is he out of his mind?

'What?' I asked though I heard it clearly. 'You're kidding, right?' I stuttered.

'Eris..' I removed his hands from mine but he firmly held me. It was not tight and hurtful grip but of plea to believe him. 'Eris, please listen to me..' he said but I looked away and tears came out of my eyes not of fear of him but of doubt to myself that I might not accept that what he's saying is true. And then...... I hugged him to tell him that it's alright I believe him. I want to stop the clock and stay like this forever, in his arms with his warmth. He put his palm on my cheek and at that very moment I felt his pure warmth of love and sincerity. He wiped my tears using his thumb and I looked at his eyes, his dark grey eyes. The eyes that I fall in love to. The lips that I miss to kiss. The arms that I long to caress. I love this man, whoever, no, whatever he said he is, I am ready and wholly accept him and love him.

'I love you, Adam' .... Wait... What did I just say? Adam? I was surprised to the name I just uttered. I looked at the man closely and intensely and put my hands on his face to scan it. He really looked like Adam, my bodyguard..... No, It's Adam. He really is Adam.

'Adam?' my eyes widened to the realization of it and he curved his lips into a cute small smile while I squeezed his cheeks and 'Aaaaahh!' suddenly I opened my eyes woke up from this dream. Yeah, it's just a dream but... it was really seemed real, as in. I'm confused, what a strange dream. Is it possible that it has a connection to my previous dreams? I stood up and noticed that my dragon down there was also awake. I fixed him and placed him on his proper position. I pulled my blanket and cover it all over my body to give me extra warmth before I go out of the tent. It's already early in the morning and the sun started peep and sprinkle her rays on the horizon.

"Aaah!" I startled when I saw Adam standing in front of our tent.

POV: Adam

Our eyes locked. I sensed a sadness on his stare but he didn't say any words. "Did I scare you?" I asked when I saw Eris' cute surprised face but his eyes saying 'where did you go?'. "I'm sor..." my word is cut 'cause he started to walked away even before I finished my sentenced. He still doesn't change. He doesn't talk and ignore me when he is mad.

"Eris, wait..." I followed him. I know I'm such an ass leaving him unguarded the whole night. Then he stopped and I also immediately stop before him. He faced me 'What is he thinking? I started to feel scared on his stare and then Eris opened his mouth.

"You want to explain yourself? Go ahead, I'll listen" he explained and hugged his own body and covered more himself by the blanket. Obviously, he's cold.

"Let's go inside the tent" I suggested but he never move and hold his position and stare at me straight.

I exhaled. Maybe, I can tell him everything now. I can't take to hide it or lie to him anymore. It hurts me knowing that he cares for me but I push him away from the truths he deserves. I protect myself from the fear that maybe he changed, that he might not accept the second and final mark. Whether he knows or not the truth, he is still on the jaw of danger and that's why I am here to protect him. I'm an i***t to leave him last night.

"Eris, about last night,...." I paused and then looked at him, "I'm on my heat.." finally I said it but I still don't know how to construct my explanation properly for him to understand it simply.

"You mean you.. have a fever or.. its more serious illne... " I held his hand and pulled him closer behind my back so he was interrupted on his sentence.

"Go inside" I said then seconds later I turned and looked at him. He looks puzzled. I'm sure I smelled a werewolf and he's around. He is near. I looked again at Eris and he's behind me. "Eris, please, listen to me. Go inside and wake him up. Don't leave the tent 'til I say so"

"What is this again, huh, Adam?" Eris raised his voice than usual and crossed his arms. "Stop this nonsense..." he exhaled an relaxed his shoulders, "You can trust me. Tell me, what is it that's bothering you? Are there people chasing you?"

"Uhmm", I don't know what to answer. Will I frankly tell him that werewolves are after me and him? No, no.. It will shocked him and I doubt that he will believe it if I say it like that.

"Why you're not answering? Don't you want to explain? Now is your chance!" he stated but I still bothered with the scent I.... It's gone. The werewolf's scent was gone. I'm sure it's here. It is near. I returned my focus on Eris, that's the time I realized he's now walked out in our conversation and...

"It's more complicated than you think" I then said and he paused from walking.

"Yeah, right... complicated.." he walked back towards me and put his face closer.. "Silver Fang. What is it?" his eyes were serious and demanding for answers.

"How did you kno..." I uttered and started to feel anxious. I clenched my fist not of anger but of fear that I am such a coward. "It's not what you think" I stuttered, moving few inches towards him.

POV: Eris

Are you a member or a leader of a gang? That you have escaped and now they're after you. I hope I'm wrong. If you just know how much I'm worried about you. You act like I'm in danger but in fact it's really you who are in jeopardy. If only there's something I can do to help. If only you can trust me with your secrets.

"Alright, if you're not yet ready to speak, I understand" I interrupted him. Did I sound hopeless? I understand if he don't want to tell me anything about his past. It's his choice. But it will not be the reason for me to stop knowing the truth about him, about my past, if he really had anything to do with my forgotten past. I feel I had to. I know I need to.

I walked away and entered our tent. I sat down on my bed in silenced. Marco was still asleep and we still have three hours before we start the filming for the day.

'The Lakeside Town' it's near from here, about 25 to 30 minutes drive from where we are now. Yeah, right it's time to go back to where it all happened.
