SHE's HUMAN

CHAPTER 35

It was well passed 12am and I waited patiently for the king to grace me with his presence as I paced around the room a nervous wreck. The door opened up a bit and I froze in place, my heart accelerated in anticipation.

"Calm down Luna, I can hear your heart beat" Lisa said, her head popping up. "You should go to bed Luna, it's very late. You need to rest up for the baby..."

"Shhhhhh..." I shushed her. "Lisa! What if he hears you?" I whisper yelled at her so Enzo wouldn't hear.

"He is in the study trying to calm himself" she explained.

"I should go calm him more" I rushed out and she passed me a soft smile.

"That's why I came to see if you were up. He has calmed himself a little, now you can try being near him. Beta Donatello told me to come fetch you if you were up, he thinks you could solve his current temper predicament" I sighed and nodded. We made our way to the study and I could hear him talking a bit.

"I'll kill them all" he growled, though muffled and barely audible, I heard and my eyes became as wide as saucers, shocked from his dead serious tone. Lisa mirrored my action, she was surprised that I could hear something from such far a distance when I'm just human.

"She's coming.." he said and I bit my lower lip. Lately my sense of hearing has been great. Almost as good as the regular werewolf and it's funny how they think I can't. When we got to the office, the door was slightly ajar, I guess that was the reason why I could kinda hear what they were saying.

"Come in" he commanded before Lisa's knuckles made contact with the door. She opened the door for me and I entered quietly. my eyes were wide as saucers and my mouth nearly touched the wooden floor. It was like the office was hit by a hurricane. The glass chandelier that used to hang proudly in the middle was broken into a million pieces on the left side of the room. The coffee table split into four and scattered about. The book shelf was in shred and so were the books.

"Raelynn" He started, using his alpha tone which sent shivers down my spine. "Beta Donatello said you had something to tell me" I looked up and glared at Xavier and he gave me an apologetic look as if saying 'sorry it was necessary and I had to say something fast'. I turned to look at Enzo and the intense stare from his black eyes made me avert my gaze to the table in front of him. He's too intimidating.

"I... I wanted to... to ask if you could please let Lisa and the rest go for the ball" I stuttered then rushed out and bit my bottom lip. He assessed me from head to toe and I couldn't decipher his expression, neither could I read his energy nor emotions. I silently prayed for the ground to crack open and swallow me up whole.

"You were to tell not ask" he said through clenched teeth, why is he mad at me? And just like that the water works broke. I've been so emotional lately, I can't control what or how I feel. It just comes, I'm starting to blame it on pregnancy hormones.

"I.." I hiccuped and wiped away the tears trying to control myself.

"Oh no... don't cry Rae" Xavier reached for me but immediately retracted his hands upon remembering the presence of his alpha.

"Come here" Enzo called and my feet moved at their own accord. His tone held command that no conscious or unconscious mind could disrespect such authority. When I got to him..

"Sit" he stated and he meant on his lap. This time I contemplated, being pregnant do I really want to sit on the lap of a werewolf king with a terrible temper?

"I said sit" his tone clipped yet endearing. I sat down immediately.

"Good girl" he cooed which made body tingle. His hand went to my lower back and he rubbed it gently making me loosen up a bit. We sat in silence for a moment then I spoke.
