Rogue Luna's Revenge

Chapter 2 Kiss? Or Cure

Vita's POV

"Vita, I heard you went to the f*******n Forest alone yesterday? Are you alive?"

I was shocked. "It's Robert..."

Phil withdrew his hand. "Robert is a better doctor than I am. Let him put the ointment on you."

Then he turned and left. Before leaving, he hesitated and took the box of Bloodberry with him.

Robert and I are the same age. He's Phil's brother. He's noble and powerful. He despised me, the former rogue, and made snide comments every time he saw me.

I knew he hated me, so I always avoided him as much as I could. But for some reason, the more I avoided him, the angrier he seemed to get.

So, I don't want him to be the one applying the ointment.

But Robert had already come in. He looked me up and down and asked me, "Phil says you're hurt. Where is it hurt?"

I showed him the wound on my shoulder.

He frowned. "You've been bitten by a venomous snake. The wound has turned black. If the venom isn't sucked out of the wound, it won't make any difference."

I was stunned. "What about that?"

He gave me an impatient look, then suddenly stepped in front of me and leaned over. His face was so close to mine that I had to lean back to avoid him, and I fell onto the bed, where he grabbed my arm and pinned me down.

Before I knew it, Robert suddenly bowed his head and kissed my shoulder!

Is he, is he sucking the venom out for me?

My brain shuts down. I can't think. This is the first time I've ever been so close to a man. I could feel his hot breath on my bare shoulders and neck so clearly that I began to shake uncontrollably, almost groaning.

He sucked my shoulder so hard that I could feel his tongue l*****g my wound again and again. The sensation was so intense that I wept uncontrollably.

After what seemed like an eternity, Robert finally let go of me. He stood up and spat out the venom. He seemed to be breathing fast, but his face was still cold.

"The venom has been drawn out for you. Apply the ointment yourself."

I wiped my eyes, sat up, and looked down. "I know. I'm sorry for the delay. I'm sorry."

I thought Robert hated me so much that even if he had to take Phil's orders to heal me, he would leave as soon as it was over. I didn't expect him to leave immediately, but stood in front of me, the whole time staring at me.

"You went to the f*******n Forest looking for a gift for Phil?"

He must have heard me talking to Phil earlier. I didn't feel there was anything to hide, so I said, "Yes."

"How foolish of you. Phil is the Alpha. He has everything. He can't possibly appreciate your gift."

I kept my head down, "I'm sorry, I overestimated my strength..."

Robert gave a cold snort and turned away. I was relieved. But just as he opened the door, he stopped short,

"Do you like Phil? Or do you want to be his Luna, too?"

I was startled and shook my head in a panic. "Robert, don't talk nonsense! How dare I like Phil! I didn't..."

Phil is my life saver, the Alpha of the Sliver Pack, and the most powerful warrior in the Pack. And I was a cursed girl without a Wolf, the rogue he brought back. Even though he accepted me as a pack member as Alpha, I never dreamed that I could be his Luna.

But when I think about my uncontrollable heartbeat when Phil just got close to me, I don't know why I suddenly feel guilty.

"That's best. Do you have any idea why Phil rescued you and brought you back to the Sliver Pack?"

"What?" I looked up at Robert.

To be honest, I don't know why an Alpha like Phil would save me. I'm a rogue, abandoned by the Pack, and Phil can tell it the first time when he meets me. And few werewolves will try to save someone who has been abandoned by the pack: if a werewolf is rejected by the pack, it only proves that the werewolf has committed a great sin.

I once asked Phil why he wanted to save me, but he only told me it was fate.

"Haven't you heard the rumor?"

I shook my head. A rumor?

I waited for Robert to answer my question, but he didn't seem to want to. Instead, he turned his back on me and waved.

"Well, just call me gibberish. I don't care if you live or die, but stay away from Phil. I don't want Phil's name tarnished by you."

Whether it was because of the pain or because of what Robert had said to me, I slept very restlessly that night.

I had a lot of weird dreams. I dreamed of happy memories of living with my parents before I was abandoned by my pack. I dreamed of Phil holding me in the dark forest as a child. I even dreamed of Phil scolding me not to dream of being his Luna and ordering me to get out of his Pack.

Half asleep, half awake, I heard someone calling my name. It took me a long time to figure out that it was Robert Wells.

I opened my eyes. 'Robert, is that you?'

Before I could even ask him what he was doing here late at night, Robert put his hand over my mouth. "SHH. Don't make a sound. Don't ask any questions. Come with me if you don't want to die."
