Healer For Alpha

Revelations

{ Rio }

Why would my wolf hug Lunanci? He's not that nice, I don't think he feels bad because I want to kill her, there must be another explanation. But when I try to talk to him, he very clearly ignores me. He's upset with me about something.

Lunanci comes out of the bathroom a few minutes later in her pajamas and once again lies down on the bed to cover herself completely.

"Don't make any noise," she orders.

I'd like to keep demanding respect from her and to stop acting like this, but my wolf ruined my whole bad boy act with that damn hug so now I just can walk back to the kitchen to make myself some dinner because my human maid is pissed at me.

As I pour myself some cereal because I don't feel like cooking, I look at Lunanci's lump on the bed. I know she's still awake and her stomach is making hungry noises. I feel guilty now.

"Luna, do you want a bowl of cereal?" I try. She doesn't respond, "Do you... do you want to watch the new episode of Love Island?"

Nothing, again. Ugh, she's so annoying. This shouldn't be like this, seriously. Everything is going wrong again.

I shake my head and leave the apartment with my bowl and phone to call Laurie.

"What the hell do you want? I was asleep," he complains, his sleepy face appearing on the screen.

"I can't find Alex, Laurie. I'm seriously starting to worry," I admit. My cousin blinks and stays silent for several seconds, I can even see him sit up in his bed.

"Don't be worried, Alex is completely fine," he replies, looking down for a few seconds. I frown and set the bowl aside, "He called me, okay? Just to let me know he's still alive and well, so... just... don't worry. There’s no reason to.”

"What?!" I exclaim, "He called you?! What the fück did he say, where is he? Tell me you got something out of him. Give me his number, I can track it."

"He called me from a blocked number, so I can't give it to you," he mumbles, but for some reason I feel like he's lying, "He didn't give me any information, he just told me he's fine. I told him all about what you're doing, he said you should stop being an ïdiot and stop looking for him. I think he's right."

I don't know what to say, I just keep thinking about it. How dare he? How dare he not call me? Even knowing that I'm in this damn human place just for him.

"So what then? Do I go back to Tallahide? W-what do I do now?"

"No, no, don't do that," Laurie blurts out, eyes suddenly full of panic, "Aunt Lucinda has been here, helping me, I don't think you want to see her yet, do you? She says you're going to come back defeated any minute now, so don't let her be right. Uh, just stay there a little longer. You're having fun with the human, aren't you?"

"I guess... I mean, not today. Today she’s acting like a bïtch," I whisper the last word because even though it's true, I feel bad for saying it. Lunanci isn't normally a bïtch, but right now she’s definitely being one, "She thinks I'm not going to kill her just because she managed to befriend my wolf somehow."

"What?" Laurie asks, getting serious, "How?"

"I told you, she's a healer. For real," I repeat, though Laurie simply doesn't believe a human could do that, "She can talk to my wolf in her head but I can never know what they say to each other. So, somehow she convinced him that they're friends. He even hugged her."

"I thought you were high when you told me that," he mumbles, frowning, "You're one hundred percent sure she's a human, Rio? It's not possible that she's a wolf, too, right? That this is some... fated mate situation? Because I don’t see my wolf ever being friendly with anyone but King. And his omega communicates with me in my mind, too. That's not something just anyone can do, Rio. Especially not a human.”

"Goodness, of course is not that," I snort and chuckle, shaking my head, "Lunanci totally isn't a wolf. Maybe she's not fully human because she doesn't stink as much as them, I think she's just a witch. Anyway, there's no way she's my mate, I have no feelings for her."

"Hm, okay… still, we totally have to kill her soon. I don't like that she can communicate with your wolf, that’s creepy," he says, super pro-killing now that he did it once, "Don't worry, I'll do it for you if you don't want to kill your new friend. Just... stay there a little longer, I'll tell you when Aunt Lucinda stops hanging around."

"Okay," I mumble and end the call, eating alone outside like a loser.

When I get back to the apartment and silently crawl into bed, Lunanci is completely asleep so I don't feel so tense, but I do stare at the ceiling for a while wondering... why? Why is my wolf being so nice to her? And why is he mad at me and blocking me from his thoughts?

Thinking so much doesn't let me sleep well and for the first time since I’ve been here, I wake up before Lunanci.

Now that I have been thinking about the situation all night long, I understand her anger with me a little better. I said some not nice things and didn't even apologize, that was shïtty of me. So, I get out of bed careful not to disturb her and move to the kitchen.

I make a big breakfast and by the time she starts moaning and moving around in bed, I have everything ready. I wait for her to get, then I meet her eyes and point down so she can see the food on the table.

"This dish is called: apology breakfast for being a jerk last night," I introduce it trying to be funny, Lunanci raises an eyebrow and looks from the food to me without moving, "I’m really sorry."

I wait for a couple of seconds as she just looks at me, but I manage to breathe once her shoulders relax and she walks over to the table to inspect.

"I made pancakes, eggs and even that oatmeal you like," I let her know and then I can see a small smile growing on her lips before she sits down. Now I can breathe better.

"So, you do know how to use a stove?" She asks sarcastically as we're both starting to eat.

"Oh, yeah. My dad and I cook together all the time. I just decided to let you do it while I’m here," I admit and she glares at me, "I always make dessert, don't I? I haven't been completely useless either."

"You make it and eat it all," she complains, but I can tell she's joking now because she laughs a little. Besides, that's just not true. I like to see her eat whatever I make, "You're a nutcase, Rio. And… now that we both know you're not going to kill me, can you stop acting like you're going to?"

I narrow my eyes at her for a second, annoyed... but I think she's right. We both know that’s not going to happen anymore, not now that my wolf is pretty much on her side.

That doesn't mean Laurie can't do it, though.

"Okay," I agree and stretch a hand towards her across the table, "I'm not going to kill you, my cousin will."

Lunanci's smile suddenly wipes off and I feel bad again, even though I shouldn't.

"It's not personal, your know that."

"Yeah..." she says and sighs but then shrugs to herself, giving up, "Okay, I guess. When are we going to Tallahide?"

"I don't know," I mumble, "My brother talked to Laurie and he said I should stop looking for him, which is true. If he wants to forget we’re twins and forget all about me, then he fücking can. I should just head back now, but my mom is hanging around Tallahide and I want to avoid her at least until you no longer... exist."

"Oh, sure," she mutters and stabs her oatmeal, "So you completely gave up on finding your brother?"

"Yes, fück him,” I mutter, "Now I can just… chill out here for a few days."

"Okay." She says and we both stay in silence for a while.

"Do you have to go to work today?" I ask hoping she'll say no. Lunanci thinks about it for a second, “Because I want to go out.”

"If I want to make some money, I should go," she says.

"You don't need to make money, I'm paying for everything now and I'll keep doing it until you die, that’s the least I can do. Just take me somewhere decent, I'm sick of being locked up or going to horrible places in this crappy neighborhood."

"Okay," she agrees with determination, "You want a fancy place? I'll take you to a fancy place, then. And I'll make you spend as much as I possibly can."

"Go for it," I reply with a smile, "There's nothing I like better than spending unnecessary money."

"I hate you," she laughs, but I talk her out of going to work anyway.

We lie around all day watching shows on my tablet until it's time to get ready.

This time I let Lunanci take a shower first so she doesn't complain that I steal the hot water. And by the time I finish showering and get out of the bathroom, she's almost ready.

She's wearing a light pink dress that comes to her knees and red heels. She's curling her short hair in a very cute way and then starts putting on make-up as I approach.

I sit on the bed and just... watch her for a few seconds.

I had been obsessed with Kingsley for so long that I had forgotten how much I like girls. They're just so pretty. Lunanci is putting on a lot of stuff on her face that I can't even notice and yet the whole process is fascinating.

She applies red to her lips and then she's done. In all this time living with her, I haven't seen her wearing makeup like this. Her lips look incredibly big when they’re painted red, her eyes have sparkles and her eyelashes look even bigger than normal.

Right now, she’s like legit the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.

"I'm ready," she says and gets up from the chair to spin around on herself. This dress is the only tight-fitting thing she's worn since I've known her. She usually wears leggings with giant shirts that swallow her body. Or giant pants with a tiny shirt, but I've never seen her whole body like this. Her hips are wide and her boobs are huge.

My heart goes crazy as I watch her from head to toe. My wolf literally howls inside of me, sending unwelcome horny thoughts at me that I should not be thinking about right now.

God, I just realized Lunanci is hot as fück.
