Part two- Chapter 7
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
― Mike Tyson
DUNCAN P.O.V
Darya, who looked embarrassed, had turned and was now staring at the wall pretending to be interested in it. I growled slowly again while Seline pulled away completely and moved aside, maintaining a good distance between us.
“Uh… Duncan this is my roommate-”
“Darya” I said cutting her off and both the girls turned to look at me curiously as to how I know her name.
“Yes, but how do you know her name?” Sel asked me confused.
“While I was coming here I saw her registration form with the music teacher when he bumped against me.” I said and Sel had a confused look in her face.
“Music?” Darya asked with a frown.
“Yeah…. Your inter-school competition form” I said.
“Darya isn’t into music” Sel said and it was my turn to look confuse. “Well, my best wishes for him if he tries to make Darya sing” Sel said grinning while Darya rolled her eyes and came closer to Sel.
“Okay… uh so Darya this is… Duncan, my mate” Sel introduced me to her.
“Hi” Darya said extending her hands nervously. I could sense her wolf but what surprised me was the powerful aura that came from her.
“Hi” I replied shaking her hands and staring into her eyes. I then realized that Darya’s eyes weren’t blue, they were gray like mine but hers was darker than mine that made it look like blue from far. She had golden blonde hair just like me. She did look familiar but I couldn’t exactly point out to whom.
Darya pulled away and looked up at me. There was fear in her gaze and that bothered me, I am not intimidating, am i? She lowered her gaze and toyed with the hem of her black color uniform coat.
“I will be near your car” Darya said and turned on her heels without a bye. Sel looked at her with concern until she was out of the room.
“She is your roommate?” I asked Sel after Darya left. “How old is she?”
“Thirteen and yes she is Darya, my dad’s third-in-commands daughter” Sel said. “Her mom didn’t want her living in hostel and so she lives with me. Don’t mind about her she isn’t much comfortable around… new people” Sel said placing her hands gently on my arms.
I smiled and pulled her closer to me. Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears I looked at the chocolate brown eyes. Sel pulled away when I lowered my head to kiss her. “I have to go” she said softly.
“Right, Darya” I said nodding in understanding.
“I am sorry. I will call you later” she said and pecked me in the lips. When I looked back into the chocolate brown eyes I knew she didn’t actually want to go.
I needed to be in control, I kept chanting it in my head. I had to be the one careful amongst us or else I will hurt her.
“Okay” I told her trying my best to put a smiling face. “I will see you later” I told her. She nodded and went to remove the plugs of the music system.
While I was making my way towards my car, I felt like I was being watched. Many students were walking around me and those who belonged to my pack waved at me. But still there was this constant feeling that someone was staring at me. I stopped in my tracks and looked around.
Darya, who was sitting inside a car, immediately diverted her gaze to the other side when her eyes met mine. There was something about her that was confusing me and I couldn’t understand what.
Just then my phone started ringing and it was Vernon calling me. “What?” I asked him.
“Sorry Alpha, I had to call you because your link was blocked” he said guiltily.
“It’s okay. What’s this call about?”
“We got access into the club. The owner charged a fair price and the club will be ours this Saturday.” Vernon said.
“Good. Ask Fox to start doing his work. We have the whole morning tomorrow to arrange for everything. I want to catch those bastards and beat the truth out of them about O” I growled.
“Yes Alpha” Vernon agreed.
“Do it then” I told him and cut the call.
I got inside my car and put on my seat belt. However before starting to drive I couldn’t help but turn to look at Darya who looked lost in some thought. Her brows were furrowed together as if she was deeply worried about something. I wondered whether anyone bullies her in school because the girl wasn’t mixing with anyone around, just sitting inside the car and staring at the school garden. Most girls of her age where either giggling or flirting.
I decided to talk to Sel about her later. Shaking my head I started driving to my apartment.
The next morning I immediately went to the club along with the members of my pack. Since it was weekend I was free from my office work today.
I got out of my car and looked at the name ‘Tease’ written in neon lights. Perfect name for the club. We entered into the club and looked around.
The first room I entered was the Control room where the CCTV cameras in the club were monitored. There was a camera at the entrance, and in and around the dance floor of the club. Overall we could get a good view of everything around the club. Above the club building was a hotel.
“Fox” I called. He was one of the computer geeks from my pack. “I want you to be in the control room along with Chris and me.”
“Alex, Jackson and Rob will be down as people who visit the club. I want you all to notify me ASAP if you find anything suspicious.” I said and they nodded.
“Vernon and Blake you will be bartenders for the night and Vernon don’t get distracted” I said and Vernon’s cheeks colored. “Nick and John will be outside as security guards and the rest will be lounging around outside the club” I stated and they all nodded. “Like I said earlier anything suspicious will be informed to me. If you find any wolf’s especially rogues who will be in the club”
“Yes Alpha” they all nodded.
“Very well then. Now that it is settled be ready pack, we have a rogue to catch for the night” I said walking away.
My cell phone started ringing and my lips curved into a smile when I saw the caller id.
“Hmm?” I told her as soon as I picked the call.
“Where are you?” she asked me. Just her voice was enough to drive me nuts.
“Working. Why?” I asked her.
“Oh! I am disturbing” she said apologetically.
“No. Do you need anything?” I asked her.
“I was thinking that can you come to my place for lunch today?” she questioned.
“What about your roommate?” I asked her.
“Darya? She is okay with it” she said coolly. I growled because I didn’t want anyone to be there. “Is everything okay?” she asked me tensing.
“Yes, it’s fine. I’ll be there” I told her.
“Okay” she said. “I will see you later then” she said and cut the call. When I cut the call, I saw a familiar BMW parking in front of the club. I frowned when I saw Tyson getting out of the car and instead of going to the club like I expected him to; he went to a nearby shop and brought himself a coke.
Leaning against a wall, with cell phone in one hand, he was busy texting something in his cell while taking a sip from the coke and occasionally glancing ahead. Frowning, I started driving towards my apartment.
Around one in the noon, I knocked door no 703. I could hear some shuffling and running sound behind the door and soon Seline’s wonderful scent hit closer and closer. She opened the door and smiled widely when she saw me. She was wearing a simple floral print dress and a cardigan over it.
“Hey” she said smiling and hugging me. I hugged her back and nestled my nose against her neck to take in her scent. My wolf sighed inside me. “Come on in” she replied pulling away and dragging me inside already. I kicked the door shut with my legs.
This was a two bedroom apartment and everything was arranged neatly here. I saw Darya who was sprinkling water to the plants in the flower pot in their balcony.
“Hi Duncan” Darya said beaming which was complete contrast to her behavior yesterday.
“Hi” I said smiling.
“You both chat, I’ll set up the table” Seline said and pecked me on the lips. I made my way towards the balcony. “What’s the name of that flower?” I asked Darya pointing to a purple flower that had five petals.
“Periwinkle” she told me.
“And that?” I asked pointing to another plant that looked like cactus but didn’t have thorns in it. It had a pink bud though.
“Queen of the night” she told me.
“Strange name”
