CHAPTER 8

Unwind, Rewind And Be Mine

As they broke off from their embrace. Both got ready for dinner that night. Before going down to dinner he showed her around the house and introduced her to some of the members of the pack. They enjoyed the quiet dinner together with the members of his pack. After dinner, he took her to the balcony of the house to let her enjoy the cold breeze outside. 

"May I know how were you able to discover that the cause your granny's death is of poison and a special spell combined?" he asked while they are seated on the balcony.

Her energy turned dark around her with the mention of her granny's passing. She turned to look him in the eyes with a sad face. As she was about to say something he spoke again. "If you are uncomfortable talking about it, for now, it's alright. You don't have to." He said, trying to lighten up her mood. 

"No, it's fine. I can talk about it. It's just that the pain of losing her mixed with the knowledge that no one believed me during the time I brought it up. It's just absurd how I failed to get justice for what happened to her." She paused then look down. "Old Nana, wanted me to find ways of expanding our business and at the same time she wanted me to help her polish this crazy feud our families had which is like forever." She rolled her eyes while stating it then smiled. "Anyways she sent me away to study and explore what needs to be explored to help me grow and be legitimate to claim the place of becoming the High Priestess of the Coven. Although it is a given because of the bloodline, I still have to prove myself to the elders. Offers of marriage to preserve the bloodline within the Coven started to come up." She looked at Drake upon finishing the sentence and she felt his uneasiness with it. 

"Is Leo one of those who offered you marriage?" He asked with stiffness on his jaw.

"Great guess. Yes, he is one of those who offered me marriage." She smiled. "Funny thing about those offers is I grew up around them and for them to ask me is just something absurd and disturbing. Mostly for the part that I do not feel anything special. Unlike with the person I am talking with right now." She said in a teasing manner and smiled sweetly at him. Then she looked away and continued to tell her story.

"Going back, as soon as the offers came when I returned in the Coven to start taking over the businesses, Nana also started to lose some weight and her vision started to decline slowly. Dark circles started to form around her eyes although she sleeps. I already had the hint that it is connected with poison with those symptoms. I was asking to get her blood tested and had other tests to find any clue as to what kind of poison might have contaminated her. But the tests came out negative of anything in particular.” Then, Janine paused for awhile.

“So I did my own research as I am affiliated with a lot of doctors because of the university I went to. I asked for help there. I sent her blood to get a second opinion. As soon as I was able to send the blood sample something strange happened. Our ancestor's grimoire suddenly had a missing page. Which is very unlikely to happen as either me or Nana access it daily. I know that you might be thinking that Nana may have torn a page and forgot about it. But since Nana started feeling not well I was the only one who accesses it and I use it for daily rituals and spells. Although I have my own grimoire Nana strictly wants the grimoire to be used when at home. The strange part is the missing page consist of a special dream spell."

She took a deep breath and a cool breeze passed by. She started to rub her arms and Drake saw this. He stood up and invited her to transfer to the couch with him. She did not object and they transferred there. He wrapped his arms around her and she felt warm. She inhaled his scent which drives her crazy. 

"Feeling warm now?" He asked.

"Yes, thank you." She answered and stole a kiss from his cheek. She blushed and she went on with her story. "The dream spell is to get a person to have dreams that seem to be normal yet destructive from within. As the effects would make you feel restless like you are not having any sleep at all. And while doing my research of the ingredients it shows that this can be diffused into a vapor or turn it into smoke form. This is the interesting part. Nana would always sleep with incense burning in her room." She looks up at Drake's face. "The blood test arrive a day after Nana had passed. And I was right all along that there was a trace of poison, she must have ingested a little of it every day to affect her body that much, and the effects were rushed with inhalation of those ingredients." She finished her story there.

"Do you have any evidence of your claim?" Drake asked.

"I do. I have all the documented research from laboratories, including Nana's blood tests for toxins and other harmful agents." She confidently stated. "I actually brought it with me since I cannot just leave it there. I cannot trust anybody from our Coven. I have no idea as to who did this and why."

"And you are certainly the next target of this person, although you had doubts if they would kill you since they want to get an heir under your bloodline." He stated. 

"I'm just glad for now that I am out of that place." She said and yawned. 

"Of course you are safe now my dear." Then he tightened his arms around her. "Let's go inside now so you can have a good night's rest. While I'll be just finishing up some things in my office." He gently nudges her head and kissed it. He helped her get up from the couch and they walked towards the bedroom. They stopped outside the room and Drake faced her.

"My dearest Luna I will leave you for a while here, I'll be back and lay beside you after an hour or two. Promise." Then he planted a kiss on her lips. She kissed him back while wrapping her arms around his waist. Then he held her head to deepen the kiss. She stuck out her tongue to let it play with his. This made him want to claim his Luna even more. He is already on the verge of losing control yet he held back as he promised her that they would be taking this slowly. He broke off from her embrace and tried his best to end the kiss. When they finished they were both catching each other's breath. He opened the door and she slowly walked in. He didn't follow her inside despite the urging of his wolf. She turned around to look at Drake still taking deep breaths from their passionate kiss. She smiled at him in a seductive way. 

"I'm gonna make you pay for this teasing one day Luna." He winked at her. "I'll see you later." Then he closed the door and went straight to his office.
