Inside his house, Boris let out a sigh while waiting for Lyne to wake up. Soon enough, Lyne opened her eyes to a very unfamiliar room. She suddenly jolted awake, and hissed at Boris who was staring at her, "Where am I?"
"In my house," Boris plainly answered.
"What?! Why am I here?!" she barked as she quickly got up from the unfamiliar bed.
"You passed out, remember? I didn't know where to bring you to since you covered my eyes during our journey. Obviously, I didn't know any place of yours, so I took you to mine," Boris snorted. "Come now. Let's eat. I was starting to think that I was going to starve to death just waiting for you to wake up," he murmured as he walked ahead out of the door.
Lyne quietly followed behind him, carefully observing her surroundings as she walked. He had a nice apartment, she thought. And she wondered where this place even was.
"This is where you live in? Is it in the City?" Lyne curiously asked, making Boris smile.
"Of course not… It's in the Province, at least a four-hour drive away from the City… It's already night out, so it'd be better if we just travel tomorrow before dawn," he suggested. "It's not safe to travel back at this hour. You see, I live in this remote area to hide and lay low since those bastards are still hunting me down," Boris gritted his, referring to Danos' men. He had been in exile as punishment, but knowing Danos, the bastard probably wouldn't stop until his head parted ways with his body.
"I see that Danos was the one who framed you. He must be really good if he managed to bring an alpha down," Lyne nonchalantly commented as she took a chair that she pulled for herself back from his dining area.
She had already noticed that he had a gentlemanly side to him despite being a pervert. His house was actually nice and spacious, giving her a certain retro-vibe in terms of interior design. Looking at it now, she kind of wondered what it looked like outside now, but it was already dark out.
"I'm honored that you took the time to thoroughly search for details about me," Boris teased with a delighted smile as he put the food on her plate.
Lyne blushed, but she quickly frowned and scoffed, "Of course. We all had to know enough details about you before capturing you. And give me that. I can manage to get food my own."
"You still look cute even in your bratty mood…" Boris candidly voiced out, earning a sharp glare from Lyne.
He only chuckled and shook his head. He simply couldn't wait to just lay his hands all over her body. Unfortunately for him, his mate was a human. And even more unfortunate for his patience, he was not like most werewolves who would act like barbarians and attack their human mate whenever they wanted just because they were weak. No... he wanted Lyne to somehow accept him first before showing her how she belonged to him.
"How come you're rude to me but act cool around Aire and Tyrone?"
Lyne furrowed her brows and gasped, "What about Tyrone?"
"Your Boss told me that you have a vendetta against werewolves because you have some sort of trauma… That since Danos killed your father, you began hating werewolves so much that she warned me to keep my distance," Boris pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I mean, I understand that Aire is an adorable kid and is very likable overall. That could be the reason for her exception, but how come you act so cool and nice around Tyrone when he's a werewolf, like me. Aren't you being unfair to me? I haven't done anything to you, but you're acting all annoyed at me. You should understand that we werewolves can't fight the Mate Pull, and-"
"Wait! Just wait a minute… What did you just say about Tyrone?!" Lyne asked incredulously. She couldn't seem to get a grasp on what she had just heard… Tyrone was a werewolf? Did she just hear it right?"
"You didn't know?" Boris's eyes widened. Lyne's shocked expression told him all the answers he needed. "Well, I'm sure your Boss is aware of it since they mated… Technically, she isn't marked yet, but they shared each other's scents which indicate they already mated…" Boris casually stated.
Lyne gulped. She was having a hard time processing what she had just heard. "It… It can't be. She must not… The King… Oh, King Marcus will wake up soon… Oh, what would she do?" she unconsciously gasped.
She was way too worried for Raine now. The Clan would never accept Tyrone. The eradication… The new rules the king implemented after the eradication of King Arthur, his family, and his followers... Having a relationship with a mutant… Raine was their Princess. A lot of people from the Moon Clan looked up to her, waiting for her to rule… But as soon as her father woke up... He wouldn't just exile, or at worst, kill his own daughter. Surely he wouldn't do such a thing once he found out about Tyrone and Raine, right?
"Hello?"
Boris had to wave both of his hands in front of Lyne just to get her to snap back to her senses. She had fallen into deep thought, staring blankly at her plate while having a conflicted expression on her face. Helpless, Boris was dying to know what was going on inside her head.
He had clapped and snapped his fingers at her, just to get her attention.
"How come Aire didn't mention..." she blankly whispered.
"Oh, she probably assumed you all knew? I, myself, assumed that you were all aware of Tyrone…" Boris answered though he wasn't even sure if the question was even directed at him, seeing as Lyne seemed to be talking to herself.
"Our Boss is probably not aware of it... Right! I remembered her mentioning something about how she couldn't tell in Tyrone's eyes whether he was human or not…" Lyne murmured desperately.
With trembling hands, Lyne picked up her mobile phone from her pocket.
"You look so worried. How about we eat first? I mean, she's been with Tyrone for far too long already, yeah? I can even tell that they love each other just from the way they keep looking at each other. Even in their interactions and their constant bickering and debating, it's kind of obvious if you know what you're looking for," Boris continued to voice out his opinions.
"Be quiet please!" Lyne hissed.
His constant mumbling was distracting her.. She stood up to get a good, quiet place in the corner as she waited for Raine to answer the call.
