The Royal Mask

Chapter Six

Do comment...I promise I will update Whenever I get time...Hehe..Bye. Nate's POV will be coming up soon.

Ophelia POV

I can feel the tension in the air. Why are they so angry? Daniel may be because my mate interrupted his talk but why is my mate so angry?

Before I could say anything...a boy with blonde hair makes his way towards us. A human too. He stands near my mate and pats his shoulders. Are they friends? I have never seen this guy before. "Hey! Whats up fellas?"

What's up!?! Can't he sense the tension between these two. I guess not, because he is smiling so widely, I can see his perfect flawless teeth from here. Dan takes a step ahead, "Who the f*ck are you?"

Thats so rude, Dan!

"We are new here. I am Tom Coleman and this is Nate Saunders."

So his name is Nate. Its nice.

"And who are you?" Asks Tom beaming at me, ignoring Dan.

Daniel clears his throat, "I am Daniel Woods and this is my girlfriend Ophelia Lockhart."

I glare at Dan who just shrugs in response. What the hell! We have already ended our fake relationship when I had found my mate who by the way is standing right here. I will deal with Dan later. Irritated I turn towards our new arrivals to see Nate looking at me with a blank face..like a kind of face where even if you clap or slap they will just stare at you meanwhile Tom comes forward to shake hands with me. He seems friendly unlike Nate.

"Its nice to meet you." I smile.

Tom winks, "I must have saved a country in my past life that I get to see such a beautiful girl in just two minutes of entering the gates."

This guy is a total player...Lol! I hear a low growl besides me...Dan! To ease up the tension I start, looking at Nate, "So what classes are you two in?"

I want to hear his voice.

Instead of Nate, Tom replies, "We are seniors, we wanted to know the way to Office..uh to collect our schedules. We will join from tomorrow."

"Oh we are seniors too. Lets go I will show you the office." I said, happy that I will be seeing them from tomorrow. Time to end my search.

"Lets go!" Beams Tom taking my hand and dragging me away from the corridor. Anyone would think he is showing me the way.

The whole way to the office I could still sense the tension behind me from Dan and Nate and I didn't dare to look back at them. I could hear Dan growl few times..okay many times whenever Tom used some flirting lines. Tom talked as though we were friends from many years, he kept on joking and blabbering. He is handsome, I can already guess that the girls will be swooning over him soon but my concentration is all on Nate. He is the most handsome guy I have ever seen and its definitely not because of the mate bond. But I need to talk to him, thank him for the other day and be atleast friends with him. But he looks as though he prefers to stay aloof.

Calm down. You can do this. Lets take one step at a time. Whispers my wolf.

"So the office is here..." I say pulling Tom to a stop.

"Cool. We will meet again soon."

Before I could reply Dan pulls me towards the opposite side. This idiot , he didn't even give me time to reply them back. If only he knew that Nate is my mate, the hell will break loose. Sigh! I will have to find an opportunity tomorrow to thank Nate without Dan knowing because Nate is human. If I tell him straight away about mates he will leave America thinking I am crazy and I can't let that happen.

"Dan..stop."

He stops and looks back at me, his hold on my arm still strong.

"Dan, you didn't have to drag me like that!" I said wincing in pain.

He must have realised that because he immediately lets go of my arm.

"Sorry, we need to go." He says walking towards the exit.

"Why?"

"Rogue attacks!" He replies.

"Lets hurry!" I mutter following him.

These attacks have been increasing more these days and they are too powerful. I had heard that there is a rogue pack somewhere and its huge led by an alpha. Their alpha was the one who killed the Lycan Luna many years ago. Lycans are very rare and specially blessed by the moon goddess herself so basically they are like royals because they have immense power and strength and longer life than any supernatural. They rule over all the were-wolves. I have heard about the lycan family since I was a kid. My parents used to tell me stories about them and how they ruled. The Lycans - alpha Alexander James and his luna Sophia who ruled over America were very much loved. And in every story either real or fiction there's always an enemy. The enemy being the rogue alpha he is known as the deadliest and scariest person, hungry for power. In a prophecy it was said that he will be killed by 7th Lycan Prince which happened to be the son of Alpha Alexander. So one day when the Lycan alpha had gone to a war he ambushed the palace and killed Luna Sophia but he couldn't find the prince. So the rogues are attacking every pack searching for him till now. I don't know if its true or not but seeing the brutal killing by the rogues I so believe these stories now. Because of them even my parents were killed. Thy were so kind hearted, they never made enemies yet they were killed by some rogues. I dont think I can ever forget that. So I swore that I will avenge their deaths by finding the person responsible.
