THE INDIFFERENT LUNA 1 - Austan wolf

CHAPTER 4

I sat up on my creaking bed the next morning and looked at the only window I had. It was a tiny and foggy window, which I couldn't open or see-through, only the ray of light signaling it was morning could pass through it. It had begun to rain in the early hours of the morning and the weather was getting all cozy, making me want to snuggle under my covers but I wasn't in the mood for that.

After the meeting with Eric's mate-to-be the day before, I had fallen silent and had gone into my room immediately after we got back home. Lady Freya, as if taking the cue, didn't say a word. In fact, she left me to myself, almost as if I wasn't the maid but her little sister. She was sweet like that.

I lay on my bed unable to sleep all night, I went from worrying to crying and dosing off and worrying and crying again. Now I was sitting up with red swollen eyes, convincing myself I was ready to go about my daily chores.

What do I do now? Should I meet him? Should I not? What if he tells me he had feelings for her? What if they were childhood sweethearts? What do I do if he rejected me? What if this meeting was to explain the situation of things?

I asked myself as tears began to form in my eyes again.

How did I get so miserable over a man I just met and knew nothing about? My logical self asked me.

I won't meet with him. That way, I would never know or be hurt. I was better off not knowing.

Sighing I got off the bed and walked into the bathroom, then looked into the vanity mirror.

"Ah. How do I explain this look?" I asked myself as I stared back at my sleep-deprived eye before lazily going to take a shower, then dressed up for the day.

As I stepped out of my room, I heard whispers coming from the kitchen, it stopped as I walked closer. On getting there I saw Lady Freya and Maria, seated by the kitchen counter with a cup of tea in their hand, the aroma filling the whole kitchen. They looked at me in horror.

"What happened to you Silveen?" Maria asked as she stood up and immediately walked to the sink to get a mug and started making another tea.

"I had a little trouble sleeping."

"You had a little trouble sleeping in a weather as cold as this?" lady Freya asked with a raised brow.

"This doesn't look like a little to me. You look like lady Freya when the Gamma went on the road trip to the Austan pack." Maria said as she walked to place a cup of tea in front of me, nudging me to seat down.

I obeyed.

"Hun! That was the scariest time of my life. I don't' know why he would go to see those horrible blood-sucking wolves. The mere thought of it still agitates me." lady Freya lamented.

I frowned, "blood-sucking?"

"It's the name she calls them because she feels there's no other way to classify their ruthlessness," Maria replied before sipping her tea.

"They can't be that bad, can't they?" I said sipping the hot tea, which calmed my nerves.

"Yes, they are! They rip wolves apart in a war! Who does that?" Lady Freya said wincing at the thought of it. I looked at her confused having never experienced any wars.

"The Austan pack are the oldest and strongest standing pure breed werewolves. It's not like they can help their combat style. The size of their wolves accounts for that method of fighting and you know that." Maria said batting her eyes at Lady Freya as she had seen my confused face, but I was even more confused.

I knew nothing about the Austan pack other than the fact that Eric's father had killed their alpha and had died in the process himself. The alpha of the Austan pack would have become an alpha king if he hadn't been killed. I heard.
