ALPHA RYAN (BLOOD MOON)

Chapter 6

RYAN

The day has come, and I have not managed to get any sleep since last night. All I could think about was her, at some point I feared my mom would march into my room and tell me to stop tossing around so much. I am already dressed for the occasion and its only 10am. Riana and her family are not getting here until 14:30 but look at me all dressed up. I will just go grab breakfast and keep myself busy until then. I walk out my room and take the stairs down to the kitchen and I find my sister stuffing her face with food.

'Since when do you get up so early to stuff your face?’ I look at her strangely.

'I'm nervous that's why.’ May says taking a break from the plate stacked with mini sandwiches.

'What on earth could make you so nervous that you have to eat so much at once? Hold up a second     why are you not at school?’

'No, I called in sick.’ I look at her like she is crazy because she casually says this.

'Who are you to call in sick?' I walk closer to her and grab her ear waiting for her response.

'Ouch, ouch that hurts you know. I may be a werewolf, but I still feel pain.’ May exclaims and escapes from my hold.

'I know that's the whole point of my action, so you feel pain.’ I look at her sternly.

'Okay, okay I get it I shouldn't have skipped school but I'm running away from someone.’ May sighs and drops the sandwich she had on her hand.

'Who are you running away from? I ask her curiously. 'The schools and universities do have censorship, so all creatures have the option of attending together or not. Are you not the one who was dying to go to that high school? I remember you saying, and I quote "I don't want to go to a werewolf high school I'm around them all the time". I say look at May in question.

'I know I still love going there but there is this kid that keeps bothering me, he is a warlock and he told me that tragedy and death is lurking around me.’ May drops her head on the counter and whines.

 'Look at me, I'll always be here to protect you.’ May lifts her head from the counter and I pull her towards me and give her the warmest brotherly hug. May and I part from each other and go our separate ways, I go into my study to work until I am told Riana’s family has arrived. I walk out of my house and meet my family at the gate.

The time has finally come as I see Riana’s family car pull up in front of the gate. Riana is the last person to jump off their car. She runs her fingers through her hair, looking sexy even without trying. She catches me staring and rolls her eyes at me. If I could control time, I would have done it right now. I see Riana running towards me and jumping in front of me as I hear shouts for me to watch out. I see the arrow pierce Riana forcing her scream in pain. She is falling to hit the ground, but I catch her and flip her over so her back is on the ground and I am on top of her.

If this were a completely different occasion, I would enjoy this position but right now things did not look so good. I could feel her blood on my hands because I was hovering on top of her body. My wolf was screaming all sorts of things, but right now I did not have it in me to explain anything, so I decided it was best to ignore him. Her eyes flattered were flattering open and close as her body was losing all power. My head was in frenzy, this was my mate, and she was bleeding out. How can an arrow cause so much pain?

'Ryan, you need to get up boy.’ My dad says and I look past him and see Riana’s parents talking with Raid and the guy them came with. My eyes blink in pain and I force myself to get and carry Riana in my arms, refusing for anyone to touch her. Even her own parents as they rush towards me after their talk. Riana’s dad looks at me with understanding and holds his mate back. Everything seems to be in chaos because this pack’s future Luna has just been injured. I look at my sister May and tell her to get the pack doctor to our house and fast.

'May, call the pack doctor and tell her to come to our house immediately. You know where I'll be.’ May nods in understanding and quickly goes the opposite direction. I am also running off with Riana in my arm and leaving everyone behind. Honestly, I give zero f***s about what anyone thinks I just need Riana to be okay.

I reach our house walking through the corridors and climbing up the stairs, Riana’s blood drips everywhere and my heart aches with every step I take and every painful breath I hear her take. I walk through my room and place her on the bed just as the doctor walks in and tells me to wait outside. I am hesitant but I leave.

‘Keep her safe Doc.’ I look at the doctor.

‘I will, she’s our Luna, please leave so I can do my job Alpha Ryan.’ I nod and walk out of the room and sit on the floor as the doctor closes the door. It has only been 30 minutes I want to go crazy, and the pack doctor has not said anything yet. My parents and Riana's parents are all downstairs, but I refuse to wait there, I want to be the first one she sees when she opens her eyes.

'Ryan, I know you like her but aren't you making it too obvious she's your weakness?' Zack my wolf says.

‘I’m aware of that Zack you don’t have to rub it in, I can handle myself.’ I say annoyed at him for bringing up such a stupid topic when Riana juts took an arrow for me.

'Your reactions today, your eyes looked weak. It seemed like you were broken. Whoever sent that arrow, made it with the intention of hurting you. You need to take more percussion around the boarder.’ Zack ignores what I said and continues to talk, I decide it is best to ignore him too plus it is not the right time to talk. The doctor opens the door and looks around the corridor until she sets her eyes on me on the floor.

'Alpha you may enter to see her, I managed to stabilise her so she's going to be all right. I also put a cast on her left hand. She will need all the rest she can get, and I've also prescribed meds that she will need to take.’ The doctor says with Riana blood on her surgical gown. I stand from the floor and walk past the door into the room. The doctor leaves to go inform everyone downstairs of Riana’s state. I sit on the couch on the right side of my bed, admiring how her black hair still look this wavy and beautiful as it decorated my pillow. She was a mess, bloody but she still looked beautiful.

'Hey Riana, I'm glad you are doing okay. Please next time do not do something so crazy like that. I haven't even had the chance to get to know you I don't want to lose you.’ I stand from the couch to find someone to clean Riana and fix the room, so when she wakes up, she will not be surrounded by the smell of her blood.
