Chapter 5 THE SEARCH FOR HIM

CECE'S POV

Being marked by the Senior Elder nullified my engagement to Kalib. Kalib was furious but he won't dare challenge a Senior Elder, no one would. Not even Fecklon of Viduela.

Even though he once killed a Senior Elder,he was only able to do that because said Senior Elder killed his kind, tainting his pure blood, making him weak enough to have been killed by a mere werewolf.

But this Senior Elder can't be challenged yet. Not when the extent of his powers haven't been measured.

After spending almost a month in Viduela, I was allowed back to Nenishia and was welcomed back in the grandest manner ever. My father treated me like a daughter for the first time in my life and all those who looked down on me, trembled at my presence.

I don't know if being chosen by the Senior Elder is for the best or not, but I'm sure enjoying my life right now. I'm a queen, even without being on a throne. What would happen if I really become the bride of the Senior Elder?

I felt invincible, like I could touch the sky. But all that joy died down when one by one, wolves were brought to Nenishia to be tortured.

A blood sample was collected from over five thousand males in my college. He attended a college party, strictly for the students. If he had access to it, he must have been a student.

But the Senior Elder is believed to be in his thirties or forties, which means he could also be a professor.

Nonetheless, every living breathing male from the moment of my admission, were sourced out and their blood collected to be tested.

A little over hundred of them were werewolves and they were all questioned, beaten and tortured. But none of them have the Senior Elder blood in them.

Still, the Elders refused to stop. Every member of his pack is sired to him. He has chosen me as part of his pack as his Luna, so I'll be always drawn to him. I won't be able to resist his presence and since this happened on campus, I was sent back to school by the Elders of Viduela and Kiland with like two hundred werewolves keeping a close watch on me.

Kalib, my former fiance became my right hand man. He went with me everywhere and reports anything suspicious. And once, I followed him to one of his football games and there, I met him. Nicholas Bryant.

He was just a mere human, beautiful with a pure smile. There and then, I could imagine our entire future together. But then, it's impossible. I'm already betrothed to another without even asking for my permission first.

I couldn't stop staring at Nicholas who just sat on the substitute bench waiting to be called in. My entire world was consumed by him that I forgot there was a game going on.

For about thirty minutes, I couldn't take my eyes off of him and suddenly, in that crowd, he spotted me. My heart skipped a bit when our eyes met. He smiled at me, waving me from afar as I shyly waved back.

We were far away from each other and so he kept making funny faces and playful gestures towards me all game long.

After the game, I just wanted to forget about this sudden excitement in my heart for this stranger. It's never gonna work between us. He's human and I'm a werewolf, a Luna to the Senior Elder.

Even if I wasn't already forced into becoming a Luna, a werewolf can't procreate with a human and so it would have never worked anyway.

I was standing secludedly, waiting for Kalib when i was tapped from behind. I turned just to see Mr 'it would never work between us' standing in front of me.

"Ho... How did you know I was here?"

"I don't know, a feeling?" He replied jokingly. "I'm Nicholas by the way. Nicholas Bryant." He said stretching forth his hand for a hand shake.

"Cecelia Rufus."

"Nice to meet you Cecelia." He said with a big grin across his face. His voice, like that of an angel. His smile so beautiful and his eye so dreamy you could actually see the stars in them.

Did I say it'll never work out between us? Well, that might be true. But if you never try then you'll never know just what the end results could be. And so I gave this new rush of andreneline a try.

We talked for like five minutes and exchanged phone numbers before Kalib came, and took me away.

Later in the day he called me, inviting me to have dinner with him and of course, I agreed.

He made reservations at a restaurant near campus. I've heard a lot about college guys. They never put in the effort, but Nicholas is such a gentle man. Taking me to dinner and even pulling a chair for me.

We engaged in different topics during the course of our meal while the rest of the pack and Kalib, spread themselves all around the restaurant.

He's a really funny guy. The more I got to know him, the more I got intrigued. It was as if we were the only two person's in the world. I could do this all day, staring into his dreamy eyes.

Why must that Senior Elder be the one to mark me and claim me? It should have been Nicholas. With his dreamy eyes, sweet talk and masculine physique, he can totally claim me.
