Chapter 5:
The car drive was silent with only our breaths resounding. It felt as though if you listened closely you could hear my heartbeat abnormally. I was happy but I was also worried. My very first date could turn out to be something I was longing for or it could be something that would just push me even deeper into my shell. Whatever the outcome was, I still needed to prepare my heart.
I glanced towards Zolton who focused on the road. I couldn’t help but continue to question, why me?. Sighing I decided to uplift my mood just so I didn’t ruin the atmosphere surrounding us.
"So… where are we going?" I questioned trying to break chilling ice and the taunting silence surrounding us. A small smile overcame his face as he continued to look ahead.
"We are going on a date. I thought you knew?" he answered bluntly like as though not understanding my question. I looked at him with a playful glare.
"ha, ha, really funny. But no, I'm serious Zolton, where are we going?" I questioned in curiosity. What did he plan for this date to be like? Was it like the romance novels I continuously read? Or the movies I had watched? I couldn’t help but wonder impatiently as to where the handsomely dressed devilish man was taking me.
"Out,” he stated with a smile. “It's a surprise…. I think?" he said not sure of himself.
I fell into a full-blown laughter to his reply. The atmosphere became warmer and lighter. He chuckled along with me as we continued down the road.
We soon faded back into silence as the car drive down the tarred street. I let my eyes close as I rolled down the window, letting the fresh air hit my face. The fatigue I had felt earlier began catching up to me as I felt a bit tired, my eyes drooping.
‘relaxing my eyes a little should be fine’ I thought to myself.
So I closed my eyes for a brief moment only to see the Grey ice blue eyes I had come to love flash before me. The eyes in my dream. They remind me so much of Zolton, but This was different. These eyes didn't belong to him. They belonged the wolf that continuously evaded my dreams for the past two weeks, night after night. Was this some sort of sign?
I had soon felt the car come to a stop. Opening my eyes I couldn’t help but let my mind freeze for a moment. This wasn’t a usual high school date spot. It was more high class. did he have the money to pay for this?
He got out as I unbuckled my seat belt. He rushed to my side and before I could open the door and opened the door for me. I smiled at him thanking him and stepped out ad he shut the door and locked the car.
“Zolton, I don’t think we can eat here,” I said hesitantly.
“Stop worrying so much, Victoria. I’m treating you, so leave it up to me.” He said with a wide grin.
He looped my arm with him and we walked into the restaurant, Stepping in front of the reception desk. Waiting for someone to tend to us, I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander at the interior of the restaurant. It screamed “Rich”. There weren’t many people, probably because it was a weekday. A man had come to us with a smile.
“How may I help you, sir?” he questioned.
"Reservation for A. Zolton Smith," he said in a hard voice the man nodded quickly and directed us to the table planned for us in a hurry.
‘A?’, did he have a name I wasn’t aware of?
A waitress made her way to us, greeting us with warm smiles. “May I bring anything to drink?” she questioned as Zolton simply ordered water and non-alcoholic cocktails.
The waitress jotted down his words and nodded before asking us what we would like to order.
“Just give us a bit of time to browse through the menu, be on standby, we will call for you once we're ready,” Zolton said formally as though doing this multiple times. The Waitress left us alone as he looked at the menu with a hard stare.
"Zolton, why are you looking at the menu as if you're going to tear it apart." he looked up at me with furrowed eyebrows.
"What?" he questioned confused.
"you have this intimidating face that you give to everyone and everything, even the menu for example." I chuckled.
"I do? I-I didn't even notice," he said as he smiled towards me making my heart melt.
"No, No it’s not anything bad, I just wanted to know, but I guess you didn't even know." I smiled at him. He chuckled and put down the menu.
The Waitress walked back to our table, "May I please take your orders." she questioned. We gave in what we wanted as she nodded and walked off placing our drinks before us.
"So tell me a little about yourself, Zolton," I asked as I leaned on the table with my elbows curiously.
“Well, I am not anything special. Other than the fact that I’ve been labelled incorrectly as a bad boy delinquent when really, it’s just because I’m not expressive enough.” He chuckled, “but, it’s not like I cared enough about it, but your opinion of me matters a whole lot.” He winked making me blush at his words. “But you tell me Victoria, tell me more about yourself.” He said as he leaned forward.
"there's nothing about me you don t--" I cut myself short as I watched something move from outside the window.
Taking a closer I look, I Squinted enough on to see red eyes staring back at me as a wolf’s silhouette made its way into my line of vision, staring directly back at me.
"Victoria? Is something the matte-" he turned to look where I was looking and froze in his mid-sentence. "s**t!" he Cursed. He abruptly stood as the door of the restaurant opened and a man walked in.
"What do you want and why have you trespassed?" he asked the man, his tone demanding. The man chuckled towards him and smiled.
"Alpha Zolton Smith. Wonderful to see you. I have a message from my alpha for you." he said.
Alpha?
"Tell him to leave my land at once or face the consequences. You are not welcome here," he said in a cold voice. I froze. This didn’t feel like Zolton at all. His entire demeanour simply held authority. This didn’t feel like a teenage boy at all.
Soon two men walked in and stood beside Zolton. "You are outnumbered, leave at once!" he growled out. Just like the Growl in the library. Is something wrong with him?
The man chuckled as 4 men came in the soon growled and circled Zolton and the other 2 men. "too bad." soon clothes were ripped and before me 6 wolves we against each other.
Did they just turn into wolves?
