The Wicked Luna

Five

A burning so intense and so filled with fiery burns in my chest.

Was I jealous?

My eyes sweep back and forth between the 2 and I feel something inside me ready to pounce at Penny. Something wants to rip her light brown hair from her scalp and jab at her brown eyes. I take a deep breathe and watch as Caysons bottle green eyes snap over to me.

I give him a cold glare and he pulls away from her returning my glare. In those green eyes I could detect slight anger. Did he really care for Penny so much? The thought sends me even deeper into a blazing anger. Penny pulls away from Cayson and her eyes widen slightly at my presence.

"Penny, Cayson" I greet nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry Queen Lilith, we were just leaving right Cayson?"

He small hands flutters down to his and she grasps it like it was her life support. I don't give a damn for I didn't want his hand in anyone's. My eyes flit back up to his to see them studying me. I feel a small part of me soften for those eyes.

"Actually we were wondering something" Caysons tone is gruff and I purse my lips into a thin line.
"Oh yeah!" Penny yips and her eyes light up as she looks back at Cayson. He looks down at her and smally smiles.

Again I feel that burning in my chest. Now spreading to the tips of my fingers. I dig my nails into my palm to resist ripping off her head.

"What is that?"
"This weekend we were wondering if we could go see the pack waterfall?"
"Who all?"
"Cayson and I we have planned it for a while actually" she snaps her head down to the cobblestone path a deep blush spreading across her cheeks.

I slightly look over at him to see his eyes still fixed on me. As if in thought I could tell he didn't want to go as much. Maybe at a time he did.

"Well Penny" I say softly smiling "I was actually going to have a party and was going to invite Cayson and you."
"A party?!" She squeals "like a pack party? I've always wanted to go to an Alphard pack party. Everyone says they are the best."
"Of course it's a pack party" I wickedly smile before smirking at Cayson.
"We can always go to another pack party" Cayson says irritated not wanting me to win with my words.
"No no! We are totally going Cayson! You know how cool that would be? Count us there" she stands up smiling "I have to tell Emery. Please excuse me, I'll see you again Cayson."

She leans down kissing his cheek and I dig my nails more into palm to stop myself from ripping off that yippy head of hers.

-----------------------------------

"Are you even having a pack party?" Cayson says in a accusing tone and I cross over sitting next to him.
"Of course" I say innocently "that's what we Alphards do. We party."
"That doesn't sound the slightest smart."
"Oh Cass" I say pulling out the nick name "you will love it."
"My name is Cayson and I'm not much of a partier."
"People change" I shrug beginning to walk away.
"Wait!" He says in an urgent tone "why is the art studio off limits?"

I swirl around my eyes wide. Why did he go to the art studio? I stuff my hands inside my pockets and fix my eyes on the cobble stone path. I could feel him looking at me waiting for answers.

"Because it is" I state "why anyway?"
"I like to paint" I hear him turn around and this time it's me who calls for him to wait.
"Yes?"
"I can take you tomorrow if you would like."
"To the art studio? I wouldn't want to intrude" he stuffs his hands in his pockets.
"You won't be intruding..."I say pausing.

That art studio was my fathers. I remember on weekends he would take me deep into the woods and would draw all of the birds that sat in the trees. My favorite that he would draw was the blue bird, for its beautiful color would pop against the green when he finished painting it.

"... you won't be intruding" I say again putting my tone more relaxed "I own the studio so it will be alright."

He nods his head and turns back around following down the cobble stone path. It wasn't really my studio, it was my fathers. But since he is gone there could be no way he could object.
