My Immortal Luna

Just A Little Bit Jealous

Ezra

The screen of my phone lit up, drawing a huge sigh from my lips as soon as I saw who it was.

Carden.

I had successfully diverted our conversations to texting as it was easier and briefer to speak to him that way.

“It’s been three days Carden. No one has died.” I said irritably as soon as I answered the call.

I knew my uncle. If I didn’t pick up, he will keep calling and revert to calling Draco, who was surely going to bring the phone answered and straight to my ears.

“How about a proper greeting, son?” the gruff voice on the other end spoke. I could imagine him having his usual emotionless expression, while he scratched his chin.

Sometimes, I wondered if I truly took after my father. Because I had learned true coldness from Carden.

“Good evening, Uncle Carden.” I replied dryly and set the phone on loud speaker so I could remove the bloodied gym clothes.

I really had taken it out on Yohan...huh..

“I’ll take that.” he grunted. “How are things at the academy?”

I rolled my eyes, grateful he could not see me. “Things are exactly as they should be. And if you are asking about your ward, she is doing very well.”

I knew the reason he was calling was to make sure I was looking after Eleanor as he wanted.

Once again, I was grateful he could not see my face to see the guilt that hadn't stopped eating at me.

“Ezra..” Carden growled lowly. “You should be happy that she is in the same academy as you, where you can see her and take care of her, and not some preparatory school across country where heaven knows what could happen to her and we would not be there to protect her!”

There. I knew this was what he wanted to say. Things like these couldn’t be said through text.

“She has alpha blood, Carden. She would be fine.” I hissed, even if what he said made space in my mind and fixed itself there.

The thought of protecting Eleanor was doing things to me it shouldn’t be doing.

“With that attitude you have, it makes me think you are far from being ready to become alpha.”

I threw my hands in the air in exasperation.

“Yeah, keep hanging that around my neck for any little argument we have. Even over a stranger you met and put in your house!” The moment those words left my lips, regret and shame hit me.

Fuck.

Liv and Eleanor were far from being strangers to me.

I felt the anger through the phone. “Ezra Nairethorne, I would not have you speak about your sister that way!”

That word sister set me off. “She is not, and will never be my sister!” I snapped, my earlier guilt replaced by repulsion. “And fine, she’s here already. I’ll keep an eye on her. Is that okay for you, alpha?!”

The growl on the other end was deep and loud. “Sometimes I wonder if I was being too soft on you, because I am utterly ashamed of the words that come out from that gutter mouth of yours.” I heard Liv say something in the background just before Carden ended the call.

Whatever.

I didn’t even give a s**t about anything else he wanted to say.

He had said enough already.

The Grayehr women had him wrapped around their fingers like an omega pup and it annoyed me to the core.

How could I see her as my sister even, when the boner from earier hadn’t even complately gone down?!

Her f*****g scent still lingered in the room like an itch that just wouldn’t go away too! "f**k all of you!" I snapped into the empty room.

I took a quick cold shower, deciding I needed a distraction.

Donning a pair of black jeans, and brown boots with a black tee to match, I walked out of the room, leaving my phone behind.

I knew Liv was going to convince Carden to call back, and the last thing I wanted was to speak to him.

At least not in the state I was.

A few minutes later, I walked into the VIP lounge for seniors, which was more of a club than anything.

It was comical the things we did in the lounge and got away with.

I could imagine the look on Warwick’s face if she ever came in here and actually got to witness our extra-curricular activities first hand.

From adult games, to booze to even drugs, it was interesting. All of it.

I made my way to the bar, keeping an eye out for Draco and Yohan.

“Two bottles.” I said to Daniel, who was handling the bar for the night.

Daniel frowned at me. “Two? This is strong stuff, Alpha Ezra.”

The alcohol for werewolves was way different for that of humans. While a werewolf would need a whole ass barrel of human alcohol to get drunk, a shot of ours could knock a human out.

“I don’t think I stammered, Daniel.” I said coldly, slating him an equaly cold look.

He bowed his head reluctantly and brought the two bottles, sliding them my way.

I smirked, my eyes on my prize and quickly opened one, downing a good amount and groaning when the hot liquid cascaded down my throat.

Where the f**k was Draco and Yohan?

“Alpha Ezra?” I turned to see Daniel looking a bit uncomfortable. Like he wanted to say something.

“You are not about to talk about my booze again, are you?” I asked irritably, contemplating moving away from the bar, but he quickly shook his head.

“No, Alpha.” his eyes darted way from my face, peaking my interest. “I actually wanted to ask about the fresher from earlier today. Eleanor.”

My ears rang, and I stood still as he continued to speak.

“How is she doing? I went to the academy hospital earlier, and they said she was never there, so I just wanted to ask if she is okay, since you were the one who took her from the arena today.”

For a long moment, I stood there, unable to reply as something small and ugly reared it’s head inside of me.

Why would he care about her?

They hadn’t even interacted at the arena.

Or maybe they had interacted before? An ugly voice grunted in my head.

Fuck. “And why are you asking? You know her personally?” I knew I had no right to ask that question, but I just couldn’t help it.

If they were close...

“No... she’s a student that had an accident, and I was just being concerned.” I looked into his eyes, checking to see if there was any indication that he was lying, and felt a small sigh of relief leave me.

“She’s fine!” I snapped, taking my bottles and disappearing from the bar.

Heck Ezra!

I couldn't be jealous about someone just asking a simple question!
