Alpha Storm // Slow Updates

CHAPTER 5

Previously in Eva's POV

I threw myself on my bed and got under the covers. Exhaustion consumed me and I fell asleep with flashing blue eyes and a certain fresh and an earthly scent on my mind.

Eva's POV

I woke up to the sun rays streaming on my face through the curtains. Birds are chirping. It's a beautiful morning. But... I don't feel so good. Urghh! I tried to get up but then I felt a pounding headache. I placed my right hand on my forehead. My whole body is aching and my head is exploding.

I think it's because of yesterday's cold rain. Now that I recall, I reached home soaking wet last night. I didn't even have a jacket with me. Aghh! This headache is killing. I pressed two fingers on my forehead.

Thinking about yesterday's events, I suddenly remembered about those piercing blue eyes. He was beautiful. From jet black coat to piercing blue eyes. His form radiated authority. I was in awe when he glided through the air and knocked that rogue off me. I can't help but think what would've happened if he hadn't been there to save me. A shiver ran down my spine. No Eva! don't even think about it. I thought to myself. I don't think I've seen him before. Upon hearing a knocking on the door, I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Uh... come in," I said meekly.

"Good morning honey".

I raised my head to look at mum who stood near the door with a smile on her face.

"Morning," I tried to greet her back but my throat felt parched.

I tried to return her smile but with this pounding headache, it came out as a grimace.

"Are you okay? What happened? I've been calling your name for the past five minutes," mum asked as she came to sit on the bed and pressed her hand to my forehead.

"Umm... not exactly," I replied her vaguely.

"Eva," she gave me a stern look.

"Okay, okay... I don't feel so good. My head is pounding and my muscles are aching," I told her in a weak voice.

"Oh, sweetie! You'll be alright. Just rest for a while and take a leave from the school," she said as she smoothened my hair.

"I'll make soup for you. It will make you feel better. For now, take some rest," she told me as she got up from the bed.

"Oh, I almost forgot what I came to tell you," she suddenly turned to look at me.

I gave her a curious look.

"Today is the Alpha titling ceremony. Alpha Storm is back. All the pack is invited. But, since you are not feeling good, you can rest. We'll excuse you. Oh, and it's at 5 in the evening," she said as she walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

I sighed as I shifted to find a comfortable position. I wish I could also go to the ceremony. I wanted to see the new Alpha but I don't feel well. I guess I'll see him some other day. Feeling curious about the new Alpha, I fell asleep.

Xavier's POV

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking at my bedroom door. I sighed frustratedly. Who the hell was waking me up?

"What?" I snapped at whoever was one the other side.

"Uh... Alpha Storm, Luna Sophia asked me to wake you up. It's 12:30 P.M. and your Alpha titling ceremony is at 5 in the evening," I heard a shaky voice of a maid.

"So?" I asked rudely.

"Uh... umm what I mea-meant to say is that you should get up and prepare yourself for the ceremony," she stuttered out in a weak voice. If it wasn't for my strong hearing I wouldn't hear her.
