18~ UNEXPECTED VISITOR

I slumped my body on my bed as soon as I arrived at the mansion. This week has been making me busy. Hopefully, for the following weeks, I’d relax more. Studying here is not even part of my mission yet I am being pressed with school works.

I should focus more on Forest. I looked up to my pen. It’s peacefully sitting on the glass box. I don’t usually bring it with me since I can summon it anytime. The Goddess blessed me with this relic.

And I would be lying if I didn’t go arrogant for a while when I received the relic. One relic for each of the Branches of the Angels. And I, Eloise Naveah Acadian, earned the relic.

If I have to be honest, I really don’t deserve the relic. It felt unbelievable for a while. but I realized that the Goddess saw something in me which most of the others didn’t. It motivated me and made me better.

But of course, I’m still the stubborn Naveah. I changed, yes but a fraction of me still stayed. It remained and I honestly don’t know how to feel about it.

After a minute, Mark called for me for dinner. I can finally breathe for two days without the hassle atmosphere of the university.

“It’s good that you’re doing fine with Forest, Nav,” Christiana sounded proud.

I just smiled and nodded. I also noticed that Forest and I have been doing well. I’m more… comfortable with him, I guess. There’s no bad blood which I have to say that I am proud of myself.

“Hopefully, you don’t influence that good boy,” Christiana gave warning to her voice.

I rolled my eyes and laughed a little. Influence him? Were not even close for me to influence him. Tsk.

“I’m chill with him. So, chill, Christiana.”

I’m more focused on giving Forest a good mate and destiny. There is also no way that I’d influence him. In two or three months, he’ll thank me for giving him good love life.

“So, how about his mate?” Sham asked.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I already have a hint but I’m not yet sure.”

Sham’s eyes widened. She must be intrigued since she’s pretty close with Forest. Actually, they’re pretty close with Forest.

“Who?”

Now, all ears are on me. I sighed.

“I’ll tell you once I’ll confirm it,” I focused on my food.

Jedi seemed excited. Michelle looked ecstatic while Sham looked like a proud mother. I gazed at Mark and he just looked normal.

“Why? His mate is still underage? Since Wolves will only know about their mates once they’re both in legal age,” Michelle guessed it right.

“Yeah,”

It wasn’t really a big deal for me yet they were really excited for Forest.

“Make sure she’s a good girl unlike you,” Sham jokes.

I smiled sarcastically.

“She’s sweet and kind,” I remembered the young witch.

Her angelic face flashed in my mind reminding me how perfect she would fit with Forest. She’s a noble and as well as Forest. A match made in heaven, I guess.

I went into my room after a conversation with them about Forest. I had to leave the table since my butt hurt because they don’t want me to leave the table. I saw the wall clock in the living room and it was already almost ten in the evening.

I massaged my neck as I made my way to my room. they’re still in the dining room chatting. I got sick with it and just dashed out. 

I went inside my darkroom. The lights were off and only the moonlight from the moon was my only light. I went into my bed immediately. I thought about some of my pending assignments but my body only felt tired thinking about it.

The bed felt so soft and smooth on my body and I really want to sleep. I want to close my eyes and sleep but my eyes remained on the bright moon. I couldn’t keep it away from my gaze.

I sighed and stood up. I grabbed my pen from its glass box and went into my balcony. The moon has been tempting me when I want to sleep. How bothersome.

I sat on one of the rattan chairs and created a paper from my powers. I summoned the sacred paper where I write for the destiny of my wolf. I still can’t write for now since Forest still has no mate. I sighed as I looked at the blank paper.

It looked vintage yet magical. I raised my head to the moon and smiled. Only the moon can give me peace. And I am thankful the moon appears in the darkness.

The darkness made the moon more beautiful.

I was about to go back inside my room when I noticed a presence. My body flinched as a reaction but relaxed when it realized who it was. on the balcony next to mine, there, Forest was sitting. His eyes fixated on me.

I wanted to roll my eyes as I looked at him. Is he there already for a while? how long though? I sighed and calmed my body and system.

“I’m sorry,” it came out of his mouth effortlessly yet he looked guilty at the same time.

My brow raised.

“For what exactly?” I smirked.

He sighed heavily. “I know I ask to visit you on your balcony but you declined.”

I blinked.

“And?”

“Here I am. I couldn’t resist it. I’d drown myself in the river if I can’t see you.”

He sounded so poetic that it made me chuckle lightly. He’s so serious and I’m here not even half-serious with him.

“So, you figured out to be in that balcony because I declined you to visit her in my balcony?”

He nodded with a sigh.

“That’s why I had to say my apologist first.”

I nodded slowly. I pursed my lips looking at his handsome face.

“If you’re comfortable and you don’t like it, I would leave immediately as you would please.”

My mouth dropped open. Well, for sure he is a gentleman. He’s a good fit for the young witch. A gentleman and a lady. They would look good in their wedding pictures. I nodded to myself.

He saw me nodding so he stood up immediately and attempted to jump off and leave. I laughed so he stopped from his steps. He’s already holding the railings. I smirked.

I shook my head.

“No, I’m fine with you here,” I shrugged.

He sighed in relief that I find entertaining though.

“Are you sure?”

I raised my brows.

“Do you want to leave?” I asked slowly.

“No,”

His answer was fast. I pouted and nodded.

“Then you can stay as you please.” I smiled to make him comfortable. He looked too tense.

He sighed in relief and rested his head on the backrest of the chair he’s sitting on. I looked away and focused my eyes on the moon as I rest my back and neck on the backrest of the chair.

I placed my feet on the chair and curled it up as I hug it while looking at the majestic moon. We stayed quiet for a while until Forest couldn’t keep quiet.

“You’d fit as a Moon witch,” he caught my attention.

I faced him.

“How so?”

“You’re the only person I know that admires the moon so much. A beautiful woman in love with the moon,” he exclaimed.

I laughed.

“Being beautiful and an admirer of the moon doesn’t make me a Moon Witch,”

“I’d choose you… as the Moon Witch.”

I nodded as looked at the moon again.

“Moon Witches are only for nobles. I am an elite.” I said a fact.

“You can be a noble…” he smiled lightly.

I raised my brow.

“I have no dreams to be one,”

“… by marrying one,”

I stopped for a second to think. My mind couldn’t process what he said for a while. I blinked a few times before regaining myself. I swallowed hard.

I laughed but it only sounded nervous.

“In this generation? Do you think a nobleman would marry an elite?” I asked sarcastically to hide my nervous face.

“Yes.”

His intense eyes almost burned my soul. I had to look away. I swallowed a few times and looked at the moon. What is happening?

We became quiet again for a while when I decided it’s getting tense for me. I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel somehow different. I slowly turned to him. He smiled with his eyes and all I could see was his adoring eyes.

“I think… it’s getting late and you should leave already,”

He nodded slowly with his sleepy eyes.

“Yes, you should take some rest,”

I nodded and was about to go inside my room when he called me.

“I have a question,”

I swallowed hard as if a rock clogged my throat. I faced him and nodded slowly as a signal for him to talk but his eyes remained on me intently. I feel the burn just from his eyes that I had to look away.

“Never mind,” he sighed.

I breathed heavily and nodded. I don’t how to feel that he didn’t ask a question. Should I be relieved or bothered?

“Rest well, Naveah.”

He jumped off and ran to the woods. I looked at him as he went far. It’s weird and different.

I don’t like it.
