Going crazy

David's POV: 

"Dear Moon Goddess! I really think I am going crazy.

Or else, I don't have any other definition for the things I am doing, or any explanation for the things I am going to do."

I murmured under my breath before I bid a curt goodbye to everyone present in the office and followed her.

She was again wearing red! As if she didn't have any other colour in her wardrobe, or like she was just born for the purpose of annoying me.

Or just like the saying goes, enemies are not made, they are born- and I couldn't help but agree with this fact that she indeed was my born enemy.

Otherwise, I would be hard pressed to find any logical reasoning behind all the things that I had a hatred or aversion to, related to her…

But the problem here was not my hatred or aversion, rather, the problem was quite the opposite.

As the things that had annoyed me relentlessly, without exception, for eighteen years of my life had suddenly started to make peace with me.

Just like today, her red dress was not stinging me like the same dress would have done, if it were anyone else wearing it.

Her house selection and the addition of one more person to the competition, didn't feel as bad as it should have been.

I knew I had already tried to search for the answers before, but I was still in search of them.

Hence I decided to follow her, and I don't know from where I got the idea that she wasn't an Alpha.

But I was still quite sure of it! So then, she might be a Beta.

And with this thought, I really found her entering the library. 

I was this close to finding out all the truths that had been hiding behind my back.

This is when I saw the strip of the opthimelon drug falling from her pocket.

It took me a moment to realise where else I had seen this drug, apart from reading about its definition, and that it was capable of suppressing all the powers of a werewolf and making them timid and fragile.

At that moment, I recalled that I had seen this name in the prescription that I had previously found and was related to Frederick Rover.

There was a reason I had never liked anyone from the Moon pack, and the Princess was just an addition to it.

And I could swear that I was about to return with this strip and find a good time to enquire about whom she was going to give this drug to, and why.

But just then, I saw her opening the forbidden book "The Real Curse for the Werewolves or The Only Blessing: Sigma"

and even I don't know what got into my wolf! 

I had never taken such a broad leap in my entire life, and never could I have imagined the landing I got after that. Because anyone can decipher it in any way they want to, but as for me, I just felt something that could only be described like the feeling of a hundred bombs blasting in my stomach.

Or maybe like something suddenly pulling all my internal organs out of my guts or something like the mixture of strawberry and cherry, soft and sweet.

I knew even then, that the feeling was indecipherable; which was why I didn't care to decipher it myself or explain it to her.

But if I said that it was the only reason I did this, then it would be a great lie. Since the real reason why I didn't explain to her that everything that had just happened was just a mistake, was because what I did after that was definitely not a mistake.

I quickly pulled her up on her own feet, but I must admit that I was extremely careful while doing this. I had examined every part of her body for the trace of any bruise, once I pulled myself together after this accidental kiss, which had shaken my entire system I guess.

Not only did I grab her wrist as tightly as I could, but at the same as softly and carefully as possible, because of two things. First, I never wanted to repeat the incident from last night again, and secondly, I could not stand seeing her getting hurt.

And judging by my actions till now, I was quite clear about this.

Although, I had slacked a little in the analysis of these factors, when I realised that I had already summoned the invisible bubble. And without any single delay, I dragged her into the bubble. Within minutes, we were standing in the forbidden forest.

"So are you going to tell me the truth with your own lips… or should I announce it during the assembly with my own mouth, Princess?

Because I am not sure how long you had planned to hide all this, and exactly how you were going to take the action of revealing the truth."

Words indeed somehow have become my greatest enemy these days.

Because while I was busy noticing her flustered cheeks due to the friction and the messy curls of her neatly combed hair, I noticed my own voice knocking on my ear drums.

But by the time I realised that, the arrow had already left the bow; and now, there was no hope left even though I somehow wanted to make it sound better.

Because no matter how diligently my mind was making me connect the dots and urging me to believe the fact that she must be carrying the drug on her person to poison all the Alphas to end the competition, my heart was not ready to accept any of that. Rather, this traitor was forcing me to believe in her innocence, screaming that she, too, was a victim.

This was when I heard her faint voice, which she managed to let out after taking a long inhale. 

"Yes! You guessed it right, I am a Sigma, but I don't know if you are going to believe it or not, because I also came across this reality last nigh-"

I noticed her words falling down in the thin air, as I suddenly pulled her in my embrace.
