Chapter 62 - History- Part 2

"Diyonisia?" I asked him, I had read the word but I couldn't recollect it.

"It was a place made only for vampires during the war that took place centuries back. Humans weren't understanding at that period but can't blame them either as vampires were irresponsible. It was a refuge place for the people of our kind, hunters existence was at its peak at that time. It's a hidden country and most of us are from there. It's a beautiful place, you would love it," he said placing his hand on mine.

"Is there a place for werewolves then?" I asked him curiously.

"There is one for every supernatural. Vampire, werewolves and witches." I saw him looking at the people with his calculative eyes as he spoke, "It took a lot of time to get everyone on one side."

I saw Andria and Shawn talking to a couple, Lizzy was with Louis, talking to him nonstop while Louis had an annoyed look. There are times when we don't like to see someone and that's one person who gets highlighted the most. I saw Mischel talking with two people and then looked my way to look at Ruka. I narrowed my eyes sending telepathic glares to her but she didn't seem to notice it. A man talking with her saw that she wasn't listening to him and followed her gaze, looking at me he sent a suggestive look, which wasn't in a good way, making me break my eye contact.

"Is something bothering you?" he asked me holding my gaze with his.

"Not exactly," I replied him and saw him c.o.c.king his head. I was feeling insecure a few minutes back, was, meaning past tense, "Maximus told me about your arrange engagement in the past with Mischel, so was just thinking about it. I don't like her," I mumbled the last part but he caught on to it.

"Jealous are we," he said his eyes shining bright with amus.e.m.e.nt and then spoke seriously, "You seem uncomfortable. Do you want to leave?" he asked me and I shook my head.

"Who's the guy next to Mischel?" I asked him.

"Memphis. Stay away from him, love. He's trouble," he spoke and completed his drink, "Is he bothering you?" he got up before I could say something and held is hand for me to take. I took it without hesitation.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"I didn't get to dance with you," he said holding my hand firmly in his and walking with me, "Don't worry love. I'm here to catch you," he said teasingly.

I felt my face flush remembering what happened last time when I attended the ball party. We were dancing until I stepped on the front of my dress and tripped. The good thing was Ruka was aware of my clumsiness and held me as though he was hugging me. Pulling me on the white marble floor now, he placed one of his hand on my waist getting me closer while the other held my hand. I put my spare hand on his shoulder, moving with him. When he twirled me I couldn't stop the smile forming on my face. After a few minutes, my head rested on his chest. The time I had now, I cherished it. Inking the moment in my mind. Whatever Annesana had said it didn't matter. Ruka was sweet and gentle, that's all mattered. He put his head between my neck and shoulder, inhaling slowly. I could feel his breath as he exhaled.

"Don't apply perfume so much," he said making me blink.

"I applied very little," I told him and felt his nose brush against my skin, making me shiver. I could barely smell the perfume I had applied.

"Hmm, my senses are heightened, making the touch, smell, sight and hearing senses of mine better. You smell good, love, I don't think you need a perfume, it masks your scent making it difficult for me," he dropped the words into a whisper, his lips brushing on the shell of my ear and I just nodded to it, not able to form words.

After another hour, we left the place going back to the castle. I wonder if William, Jessi's mate was busy, else they would have been there. Tomorrow was school, I thought dreadfully. Good thing was that Jessi and I were going to be in the same class. It was a new classroom in a new building but almost the same teachers. I didn't know what I wanted to major going to college. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a doctor. When I had watched the Mummy movie, I wanted to be an archaeologist but now... I didn't know. I still had half a year to decide and Ruka was supportive, telling me to take time.

In the morning, I was woken up by Ruka brushing my cheeks with his knuckles. His hair was disheveled, the shirt exposing his bare chest and the tattoo that was peeking from it.

"Good morning my sweet Eve," he greeted me, bending down to place a kiss on my shoulder.

"Good morning," I replied kissing him on his cheek and snuggled closer to him, the soft quilt covering us as we laid on the king sized bed, "I missed waking up with you. Don't you think we should make up for the time?" he asked mischief evident in his voice.

In a second, I was lying flat on my back. His hands placed on either side of me and him hovering above me. It had been so long since we actually made out, it was always kisses but nothing more than that, like he was keeping an unknown promise not to go further than that. I could feel the s.e.x.u.a.l tension hanging in the air.

"Did you forget something, love?" he asked me leaning down, his lips mere inches from mine.

"Huh," was my reply as I looked at his lips.

"I don't like to share what is mine, Eve. I didn't miss the way Memphis looked at you last night and," he paused, "also about what Annesana and you spoke," he said making my eyes go wide.

"You heard it?" I whispered and saw his eyes shine brightly.

"I'm hybrid-hybrid, love," he said giving a peck on my cheek before getting up and walking towards the bathroom door, "As a punishment, you get only a peck," he said before closing the door, leaving me hanging there waiting for a kiss on the lips.

Of course, he must have heard it. Every single word of it.
