LUNAR ACADEMY

CHAPTER 6

"I don't care if you have Alpha business to tend to. Next time deal with it before class." I can hear the newcomer being scolded and I don't like it. How dare him talk to him like that.

I will my eyes to open but they remain closed. I know I said I like him but if he keeps talking like this to my mate, I will wake up and set my wolf on him.

I hear Mandy trying to get the Professor's attention, probably excited that she killed me so she won't have to share the room with anyone.

"Oh Luna! I said spar not kill each other."

"It was an accident, I swear. I actually thought she will deflect the punch."

"Her nose looks really bad. I need to call the infirmary." As if an afterthought, he added. "Good punch kiddo. I will just have to make sure Nathan doesn't hear of this." I imagine the smug look that is probably on her face, on hearing the praise. I know I'd be smug.

I can't believe my nose might probably be broken. I can feel it throbbing seriously and I want to weep. So this is the condition my mate is going to meet me in, for the first time. He will probably run away from me and never look back. It will undoubtedly be one of the best decisions he will make in his entire life if he rejects me now. I have a long list of enemies trailing me and mating with me will have him inheriting them.

I feel the pine earthy scent come closer. I know he is right beside me. I want to reach out to him; to sniff his hair. I feel that will be enough to heal my broken nose.

What a mess I am! I went from not wanting a mate to basically throwing myself at him. In a way, I'm glad I'm unconscious for our first meeting. My thoughts are embarrassing enough, I don't want them played into action.

"She isn't settled. I can pull her into a deep sleep before the healer gets here." His voice his angelic and the words he just uttered is my new favorite song. I can die happily now.

"Thank you Seth. That will be very helpful." I feel his scent envelop me and I almost purr when he placed two fingers to my forehead. He whispered "go to sleep." And just before everything turn black, I swear I hear him add 'mate'. He didn't say it out loud though. I heard him in my head. I almost scream at the intrusion but I'm already out.

I feel pain. For a minute or rwo, all my body feel is pain. I have no recollection of where I am or how I got here. I don't even know if I'm sitting, standing or lying down. My eyes sturbbonly refuse to open and I instantly panic. Whaf if I'm back in The Dark Room? I try to move my limbs and although they feel as if they have being tied to lead blocks, I manage to move them a bit. I guess I'm in a bed.

Since I don't feel any bolt of pain through my body from sillver, I decide that I have not somehow gone back there. I hear the door open, my hearing getting better. I can even hear the beeping coming from the heart rate monitor by my bedside. The healer's feet scurry towards it, probably to check my heartbeat rate. She senses that I'm awake and move closer to me.

She place a warm hand on my forehead, checking my temperature.

"You were burning up just now. Thank the Moon Goddess your temperature is coming down. If you can hear me, I will need you to open your eyes so I can check them. I try to do as she says but my eyes remain shut. I also try to move my lips to tell her I can't open my eyes but no words leave my lips. She must have seen me struggling because she says.

"You must have been knocked out pretty well. Just give it an hour or two and you should be better. The healiing process is probably slow because your wolf is.... not around. I will be back to check you then."

The healer place a hand upon my forehead and I feel warm magic flow into me. For the second time today, I'm put asleep without my consent.

I wake up to loud noises coming from outside my room.

"Who did this to my daughter?........ How dare you keep me outside...... Who are you to tell me if I'm allowed to see my daughter or not? ...... I will definitely see Alpha Darcus about this. This behaviour is just plain unacceptable."

I can imagine my dad shaking his head at the last part. I open my eyes and this time, they don't protest. The room I'm in is painted white, and I groan placing a hand to my forehead. The light is just jarring, giving me a headache. God! I can't believe a single punch knocked me out this good. I must be weaker than I thought.

My wolf have been silent since. I know I always keep her under hold but at least I still feel her. Now there's nothing where my wolf usually is and I try not to panic at that. I stay sitting, not sure my legs could carry me if I decide to walk. I hear my dad release a low growl at the healers and I decide to test my legs out let me save those poor healers. I place a leg on the floor then the other and try to stand on them without leaning on the bed and I'm surprised how steady I am. Guess it's only my brain that was knocked out.

The room is quite small and in no time, I make it to the door. I'm not prepared for what I see when I yank the door open. I almost laugh.

There are about five healers here and they form a barrier in front of the door. Then there is my dad pacing in front of them, just a few feet away. One of the healers, the oldest I assume, is trying to pacify him. She raises her hand up approaching him looking like she's trying to approach a lion. I almost giggle at that. He is like the biggest teddy bear I know. I decide to announce my presence.

I cough to get their attention. My dad's eyes instantly snap up to meet mine before moving downwards, scanning my body for any injuries. He looks worried and I'm upset momentarily with myself for getting my ass kicked. I look around the lobby of the infirmary, hoping to see my mate there and I'm very surprised when i see my mum instead. The surprise must have been written clearly on my face because she just smirks at me and arch an eyebrow. I try not to feel too bad about my mate's absence. We just met, right?

I'm clearly overthinking things.

"Mon Amour, please stop scaring everyone away. Look at her. Cam is fine. Let's just get her back to her room." Mum said, coming to stand beside me with her arms folded.

My dad finally releases his hard stare and right away he smiles at me before coming up to hug me. "My little demonè dè feu. I was scared something happened to you and when they said you were weren't waking up, I had to come and check. Your mum and I were so worried." I'm sure my mum was not worried but I just nod my head.

One of the healers finally work up enough courage to talk to us.

"You guys need to move to the room. We need to check her vitals before she is ready to leave." My dad grumbles but doesn't growl at her again. I know he has calmed down now that he knows I'm safe. He just stirs me back towards the room I just came from.

"I miss you, Miel." I clicked my tongue at my mom, not in the mood for this. She reads me like an open book though.

"I will have you know I was equally worried about you. Just because I don't always show it doesn't mean I don't care. I told you before don't judge people on surface-level. There is always more." I meet her eyes, holding her stare. She doesn't say any other word but I already know she won't. I finally tear my gaze away, nodding my head. My mom just smiles at me, seeming satisfied wiith herself.

"How long was I out?" i asked no one in particular but my mum answered.

"Two days and it's not right." My mom was shaking her head.

"What do you mean it's not right?"

"Cam always had the shortest recovery time. Remember that accident she had when she was nine? The one that should have killed her? She was healed fully in two hours. I know what you are about to say but she didn't have her wolf then either ". My mom seem quite worked up over this and Dad try to calm her down.

"While I agree it's strange that she took this long to heal but then, her wolf was just suppressed, we don't know it's status now. She just moved here too so maybe the stress of moving somehow affected the healing."

My mum just looked over at my dad. She huff out "We shouldn't have this type of conversation here."

She then turns to look at me. "i know her wolf is still in there. I can feel it, Nathan."

My stomach decided to grumble at that exact moment and i remember that I have only eaten a sandwich about two days ago. I tell my dad that and he just scream "Unacceptable." My dad immediately stands up, the previous conversation forgotten. my dad doesn't play with his food and cannot stand the thought of me starving myself.

"Let's go out, I know a place where they make delicious Cassoulet. It has always been your favourite."
