MELTING A WEREWOLF'S HEART

MISSION BEGINS 2

I'm sorry." He stood up and came closer to me.

"For what.....?" I asked.

"For......... I-i d.........."

"Exactly. You don't know. Ray please just let me be. When you know why you're apologizing, you can come back and say it." I told him and left the room with Raya.

Ray stood, dumbfounded. I've never really talked to him so brave. He was shocked and confused at the same time.

I went to Muin's room. He noticed me by the door and quickly hid everything he was doing.

"What's that?" I asked, looking suspicious.

"Err......I..it's nothing. I.....was just checking a few stuff." He squeezed a paper in his hands and turned to me.

"Oh.....okay." I said, still looking at his hand suspiciously. "Well.....I came to assist you. In packing." I said as I walked inside the room.

"Oh! Thanks. There's really not much to pack here. I have no things here." He said, feeling reluctant.

"There's no how you won't pack something for our journey. Go continue with your therapy with Ray. I know what to pack." I said, already sitting down and taking his travelling bag.

"Err......okay then. Is everything okay?" He must have sensed my anger.

"I should be asking you." I looked at him.

"Ah.....I'm fine. But you seem rather irritated. Why do you want to help me pack?"

"....." I didn't want to tell him the problems between Ray and I.

"You don't want to see him right?"

"He irritates me. I don't know how man can just stay with a lady for almost a year and still not know that he loves her. Why is he pushing me away? Why is he fighting so much with his heart?" I planned on not telling him, but I just had to let it out. Muin was very persuasive abd he won't leave until he gets what he wants. Tears was already slowly dripping down my cheeks.

"Elena. Calm down." Muin came closer to me and placed his left hand on my left shoulder. My raging body calmed down instantly with just his car touch. "You have to give Ray some time."

"How much time?" I shouted as I stood up. "All he does is say hurtful things and come back to saying sorry, if I react, without him knowing what he did." I tried stopping the tears but it just kept moving freely. I felt deeply pained.

"Ray is going through some phase in his life. Sometimes he shows you love, abd other times, he gets confused. Something is going on in his mind that he's not saying. But I can see fear in his eyes. Especially when he looks at you. I see love and fear but the fear supercedes."

"But what's he scared of?" I was already cleaning my face as the tears stopped.

"I don't know. That's what you should find out."

"How? He's not even saying anything to me. It's like he doesn't trust me."

"Then make him. Make him trust you. Get as closer to him as ever. Support him so well in this war. Treat him well to the extent that he feels guilty and tell you everything single thing in his heart and mind."

I smiled lightly looking at Muin. He really is a legend in this.

"I'll do just that. Thank you so much Muin. You've really..........."

"Shshshshsh.... Don't thank me just yet. Let the war end." He smirked and left the room.

I stood there pondering on his last words. I remember how he looked suspicious just now.

'Is he hiding something? Could he be with the enemy?' I thought. I was so confused. Muin doesn't look like someone that could hurt us. 'No. I trust him hundred percent. He's on our side.' I thought again as I sat down and continued packing.

***

The sun was set already when we are dinner. I already packed a few supplements for us, that could last for a few days. We hope to get there before the food finishes. We still have to keep hiding from other werewolves.

"We're going on our mission today. Today marks the beginning of our revenge. Every step we take forward is a sacrifice for our lives and people. I was all alone, living happily and having fun undisturbed. Until you people cane into my life. And my destiny clashed with yours. Victory to be ours." Muin raised his hands in the air.

"Victory!!!" Ray, Raya and I shouted, raising our hands.

I wore a white dress, with three quarter length. It was the suitable dress for the war. It was very free and flexible. I tied my hair in a ponytail, wore the chain my mum gave me. My wrist was wrapped with the thread Muin made for the four of us. Till now, I didn't know why. I hung two silver swords Muin made for me in my backpack. My emerald eyes showed anger and thirst. Thirst of victory and vengeance.

I looked at Ray's eyes. It was plain blue. Very beautiful and strong. Muin prepared an armor for him as an honor to face the alpha.

Muin, he just wore one if his random clothes.  He eyes was plain green. Raya was dressed as a guard dog. She's old enough for that at least. We all held our bags by our sides. And we are set to leave.

"Let's go." Our commander, Muin directed us.

"I hope you guys still remember the plan?" I asked with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah sure. We'll go with that." Ray said and I smiled.

We climbed up the stairs, opened the door and came out to the light. I smiled seeing the light. I always love to see colourful things, not just black darkness everywhere.

Muin took us on the shortcut direction. We walked as we looked at the castle top in our front.

I stood close to Ray, walking hand in hand with him. He didn't say a word. He didn't look at me. He just.......kept a straight face and kept moving. My feelings were mixed with both sadness, anger, pity and love. I wondered what he must be going through. Why won't he tell me what's going on in his mind..............
