CHAPTER 12

The next day

(Athena's POV)

I woke up to see Betty and Max by my bedside, they were happy to see me awake. They told me I was out for a good 12 hours. It took me a while before yesterday's happenings flashed before my eyes. "How is Victor? Is he alright?", I say while I try sitting up.

"The doctors have removed the bullet from his chest, it missed his heart by a centimeter... He will live Luna, he has the best doctors at his disposal, plus as you must have realized yesterday, he is a werewolf, they have accelerated healing... so, don't worry." Max replies.

I straighten and ask "Max, why the hell are you calling me Luna? Did you know that he is a werewolf from the beginning?"

The door opens and Z comes inside, "Good morning Luna" he bows. "Luna, the doctors said that Alpha might wake up anytime now. He will expect you to be there by his side when he wakes up or else, he might create a havoc."

I swallow... All of this is too much to take in, Max knew that this place has werewolves and still invited us for a vacation. He didn't tell me when Victor asked me out for dinner. Did Betty know? And people keep calling me Luna, which from my knowledge of reading paranormal stories is the title given to the female equivalent/mate of an Alpha. How idiotic of me to ignore that people were calling Victor, 'Alpha'. To top it all, Victor was referring to me as his love and wanted me to stay by his side.

"Luna", Z was calling as I pulled out of my trance. "I will come with you, but will you answer all of my questions like you promised yesterday?" I ask him. "Of course, Luna" he bows his head again.

I get up and follow him to Victor's room. He looked very pale and had oxygen support. There were machines beeping and my heart clenched at all this. "Z, are all of you werewolves? You know, like how they mention in books?" I ask. "Yes Luna, its more or less the same, except for a few things like, we don't feel sparks when a mate touches us. There is more to it, but it's not my place to tell you about it, Alpha will explain about those things to you himself" he says.

I nod.

"I will go get you breakfast, Luna" he walks out.

I could have flat out refused to come and see Victor. But No... Yesterday when Victor asked me not to leave his side, I felt as if I made a promise to him. Maybe there is something more than attraction between him and me. I can tell it by the way my heart rate changes when I'm with him, I can tell it by the way it hurts and saddens me to see him in pain.

Oh God! Am I in love? I should take this slow; I don't want to get my hopes up and get hurt in the end.
