Nick's POV
“What is happening to me?” I questioned Kiara who by now is seated comfortably on a fallen tree.
“Oh please, what do you mean by what is happening to you? such a show-off," she said rolling her eyes dramatically.
“I don't understand,” I said, wearing a confused expression.
“oh you don't know,” she said, watching me as if to see if I was pulling her legs.
I gave her the “can you just tell me and stop the drama already” look with a straight face.
“By the way, Why didn't you let them feed on you when I told you to” she replied with a more confusing answer.
“Excuse me, I didn't exactly see you say something to me,” I said in a defensive mood.
“Do you have to see me first? I said let them feed on you because I knew your blood would be poisonous to them,” she said dramatically.
'Oh God, another trouble' I said in the silence of my heart while releasing a deep sigh with both hands on my waist.
“Wait, hope you are not referring to me as trouble because if you are, I won't hesitate to go mute on you for one whole year,” my wolf said in a threatening tone.
“No, you won't, I mean you can't, you dare not” I fired back at him
“You watch me, you think I enjoy being your wolf? You are such a pussy. In the beginning, it was 'I am waiting for my mate', then the mate comes and it's 'oh we are related'. And now that you know that you guys are not fucking related, why the fuck am I still a virgin. God! I wonder what I ever did to be given to you as your wolf. Now I know I am going to die a virgin when I am not even a priest," my wolf kept ranting in dismay.
“You are such a Pervert,” I said, trying not to let what he was saying get to me.
Honestly, it's been fucking difficult sharing the same space with Kyle and not touching her. I can't even begin to emphasize how badly I need her, but at the same time, I am giving her time to heal up. She just underwent major surgery and I don't want to appear desperate.
“Idiot she is ready, she wants me, but you are the one willingly keeping us apart,” my wolf said
“Are you done?” I asked as I tried to take my attention back to Kiara, whom I forgot was there for some seconds.
I turned to see that she was sleeping or pretending to be sleeping with her eyes closed but seated in an upright sitting position.
Strange.
“Okay, I guess next time you have to add that last bit of information. Try saying, Nick, this is your spirit guard, let the blood tasting vampires feed on your blood, but don't worry, you won't die,” I said, hoping for the love of my sanity she could hear me.
She opened and rolled her eyes dramatically and starts staring at her nails as if they were giving her the next set of instructions on how to frustrate me furthermore.
“Did you just pick your wolf over me," she asked, jealousy evident in her voice.
I wonder why she would be jealous, do ghosts get jealous? I pondered.
“I am not a ghost,” she said.
“Oh, ok, so you can hear my thoughts, how nice, so what were you talking about again,” I asked, suddenly conscious of the things I was thinking about.
“Tell your wolf to shut the hell up when I am talking,” she said
“ I will tell him, *clears throat*”
“Right after I kill you,” my wolf said.
“I guess I should be on my way,” she said, getting up from where she sat.
“Wait, what? No, what the fuck is happening to me” I asked.
“Your powers are manifesting Ivar or should I say bastard, you must learn to master it else it could consume everything you own dear,” she said nonchalantly.
“I don't understand,”
“The red moon gift is very rare, it's hardly ever given because most people tend to misuse it. Being given the power makes you more powerful than any supernatural being ever created, but in every blessing, there is a curse and that was why your mother had to die, to purify your path and also to give you long term happiness,”
“Which is my mate, right?”
“Kyle was born on the night of full moon by a mother whose heart was filled with darkness but because she was born in light. She detests darkness, and that is why she is in her present predicament.”
“Does she know,”
“No. The moon goddess was upset that out of greed and vanity her parents disrupted and made a mockery of the mate bond. And as punishment, she gave them a daughter that would be the one to serve them their punishment. But out of desperation, her mother has committed even greater atrocity by killing her mate. thus, the punishment meant for her mate would now be brought upon her”
“I don't understand, who is Kyle's father?” I asked
“I don't have to tell you everything, do I? That is what you have to find out yourself”
“What are you doing outside talking by yourself,” Kyle asked as she stepped out of the Hut.
Her voice startles me, as I turned around to look at her. At the same time, I turned back to look at Kiara who is wearing a sheepish smile.
“Your mate is beautiful,” Kiara said
Her remark redirected my eyes back to Kyle who was looking stunning, the early morning moon made her face flawless in every sense of it. Her skin shone and radiated through the night and I was beyond stunned to know the right words to describe her beauty.
“Awn, see who is lovestruck,” Kiara said dreamily.
I blinked my eyes rapidly in other to concentrate on what I was been asked.
Which was what exactly?
“Are you alright?” Kyle asked as a genuinely concerned expression crept up her face.
“yeah *clears throat* I was talking to her,” I said pointing to where Kiara is seated. But Kyle looked at me weirdly which had me confused for some seconds.
“Stop freaking the woman out, she can't see me,” Kiara said as she appeared behind Kyle smiling.
“I was outside because I wanted to take some fresh air,” I said hoping for the love of sense, she believes me.
“One more thing before I go, Ivar, your friends need your help but you can only save one of them, time is running out or you might as well lose both of them,” Kiara said and with that, she disappeared into the night.
“Are you alright?” I asked directing my attention back to Kyle.
“ I don't know, I feel something is not right, I feel we have to go get Harry before something bad happens to him,” Kyle said in a concerned voice.
“Okay, we will be on our way first thing in the morning if you are up for it,” I said.
Yeah, I am fine, there are a few herbs I would want us to take along though, she said
“Herbs, what herb,” I asked, wondering since when did she start collecting herbs.
“I don't know, but I think I would recognize them once I see them,” she said.
“Okay good, how about we go in and get some sleep for the night,” I said as I led her back to the hut.
Her skin was so soft and tender beneath my palms, as I tried blocking out the sparks I was getting from her.
“Kyle I called out in a very calm tone,
“Yes,” she answered, her voice soft and welcoming.
“I need you, every inch of you, I want to make love to you,” I said unable to control the lust running through my veins.
