Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna -
Chapter 16: Trapped with him?
Chapter 16: Trapped with him?
VALENCIA’S POV
"Do you want something else to eat?" The beta asked me for the umpteenth time and like all those times earlier, I shook my head in denial while he adjusted me in the comforter right beside him on the couch, only my head poking out.
Do I want something to eat? How can I think of eating anymore when I have realized this person has no intention of letting me go anytime soon?
I looked at the clock on the wall and noticed how I was running out of time. Damn it. I will have to think of something.
"What kind of cartoons or things do you watch? Do you even watch TV?" He asked me, and I looked at him, finding it hard to decipher his actions and what was going on inside his head.
He was joking with me, right?
Why was he acting like that with a cat? Was it because he was a cat person or was he so lonely that he was delighted with a cat’s presence with him?
No. He was definitely not a cat person. I remember his annoyed look when he saw me for the first time.
Why was he so free to chill with a cat in the first place? Shouldn’t he be going on some kind of patrol duty? Or shouldn’t his alpha call and ask him about everything that happened today or handle his schedule?
I kept looking at the man with the mysterious character until he looked directly at me.
"What are you looking at?" He asked before sighing.
’I seriously must be losing my mind thinking this cat would really reply to me,’ He murmured under his breath, a sense of dejection in his voice.
See. That’s what I was talking about. Something is definitely brewing in his head that I am not able to decipher. And the fact that I couldn’t make out his thoughts was putting me on edge.
It almost looked like he was being forced to do this.
Could it be that he used his mind-link to inform the alpha about everything that happened? And it’s actually his alpha who instructed him to keep me locked here until he finishes whatever business he is busy with?
That looked like the perfect explanation for my current laughable miserable situation.
’Why don’t you try to touch him with your concentration and feel his emotions? Maybe you will be able to put your head at ease once you know he doesn’t mean any harm?’ Aurora asked me, and I looked at her as if she had grown two heads.
He doesn’t mean any harm? This guy is practically entrapping a cat to catch the culprit and he doesn’t want to harm us?
I could’ve retorted with a good explanation, but I didn’t want to do that right now. It was the time to look for a path and not waste my time like this.
I looked around, trying to find a leeway to run away from. There has to be something.
Just be patient Valencia. He is a human too. He will take some kind of short break soon. Probably to the washroom or to drink water. It would be better if he takes a break to the washroom since he won’t take me there.
He won’t, right?
I looked back at the man, who hadn’t left my side ever since, or should I say, he had not put me down freely ever since and had been carrying me around as if I wasn’t a living cat but a plush toy.
I was really hoping hard.
However, that time never came.....
And the result?
I was in the SAME BED as this beta.
This Beta who was lying beside me in his shorts.
I really wanted to cry about my situation this time. I had never thought being caught would land me in such a position. Then again, who would’ve thought the beta of the most powerful pack in the nation would lock me like this? It doesn’t make any sense at all.
"Do you have a name? What do others call you?" He asked me, his fingers moving through my fur.
I was almost on the verge of tears because of this guy’s persistence and he was asking me my name.
Seriously, man. Don’t you brush your teeth before sleeping? Or use the washroom one last time? Why haven’t your subordinates called you even once to ask you about something important that can’t be delayed? I thought pitifully.
I turned out of the duvet while he watched my every action like a hawk.
Since the door was locked, he was probably not worried I would run away.
I walked to the curtains before jumping into them and hanging on the fabric, knowing all too well how his suspicious eyes were gawking at my every reaction.
I walked to his desk, looking at the mug full of pens placed on it neatly.
I looked back at him, blinking my eyes innocently while he looked at me confused.
Well, what was I supposed to do? Since biting and scratching him wasn’t working, I was left with resorting to animalistic things and adopting a cat’s true nature.
Without wasting another second, I kicked the mug down. It was a plastic mug and didn’t break, but the contents of it surely made a mess.
I looked back at the guy, proud of my work, but rather than seeing an angry expression, I was met with an amused smirk.
It didn’t work? I scowled before meowing loudly and walking to the glass of water.
"Kitty, be good," he said with a controlled sigh, and I smiled.
With a brief look at him, I kicked the glass of water, making it break while the water spilled on his carpet making him sigh.
"You naughty kitty. Are you taking revenge on me because I am not letting you go?" He asked before standing from his place, heat creeping up my neck immediately as I looked at his leaned chest with so lick-able abs.
I meowed again to let him know he guessed it right.
"Come here. You will get hurt like this," he walked to me, ensuring he didn’t place his foot on the glass piece, and I looked at the balcony door.
Without wasting a second, I jumped on the curtain rod before jumping on the door to unbolt it.
Luck was on my side with this one because it was unbolted in a single go.
However, my happiness was cut short as I miscalculated my fall and landed in the area where the glass had broken.
The tiny pieces of glass pierced my paws, and I meowed in pain.
F*ck! That hurt like a b*tch I swear! It got right between my fingers!
"Meoww!"
"Hey, hey, why would you do that? Come here," he quickly rushed to me while I looked at him with tears.
It’s all because of you! What do you mean why would I do that? You are trapping an innocent cat in your house and have the nerve to ask me that?
"Stupid kitty," he sighed.
He took me to the washing basin and washed my paw while I sniffed lightly, letting him clean my wound and apply a bandaid to it.
"It wasn’t a deep cut," he whispered to himself.
"Don’t hurt yourself. If you are so eager to go, I will let you go. Stay for some more time before you go. I won’t lock the doors either. Leave whenever you deem fit, okay?" He smiled at me.
And let me tell you, shit like this easily makes my heart flutter. And I don’t want that to happen!
’He is so sweet to us. How can you really blame him? I wonder if he is keeping us here because he wants to protect us from his alpha. I mean, it could be a possibility too,’ Aurora said, and once again, I couldn’t rebuke her words.
Why? Because it might be true.
He took me back to the bed and without making any noise, I lay with him as he covered me with the blanket, only letting my head out.
"I hope you are not going to bite me again while I am asleep," He said before he pulled me close and wrapped his arms around my little body, pressing me close to his chest, the mouthwatering smell immediately, making me take deep whiffs.
I raised my head slightly before placing my paw on his face.
He was lying with his eyes closed.
I could’ve kept you company, beta Shadow, but living in the wild for four months has taught me not to believe everything you see at first go.
This world was an unfair place, and I would rather intake poison than believe another man for that matter. And you are one dangerous man.
’Sleep tight, shadow,’ I whispered inwardly before I got out of bed and walked to the balcony door.
With one last look at him, I jumped from the balcony, cursing inwardly when my paw hit hard, and I felt the pain.
Though it was just a little piercing, it hurt like anything, I swear.
As I started moving back to the east borders, I turned around when I felt someone watching me, and as soon as I did that, my eyes were met with Shadow, standing on the balcony and looking straight at me.
With a gulp, I increased my pace and left the pack as quickly as possible.
