Fated reborn - Chapter 103: Chapter 103

"Did you forget the special someone that I said wanted to meet you?" She quipped with a smile and I smiled back.
"How could I forget?" I quipped back. I only feigned not knowing because I wanted her to bring it up herself so it wouldn't seem like I was too eager to know. Knowing Trini, even though it had been a short while since we met, I knew very well she was capable of drawing it out just to taunt me, and I had had enough of that. The curiosity these past few days had eatene alive from the inside out and I had done everything to keep my mind from drifting to the unknown. It hadn't even worked sometimes, and my imagination had run away from me and had come up with all sorts of possibilities at who it could be.
"Great! Because you are about to meet them in A minus a few seconds." She smiled then held on to my sweaty palm tightly and led me into the pack house.
I was right. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside of it and I was still just at the entrance. My eyes darted across the room we were in, and something told me that whoever has built it long ago had a very bad obsession with the colour blue. Literally everything was coated in different shades of the colour, the floors, walls, ceilings, even the furniture had something blue in it.
And as we walked further and further inside, it was clear if could have been much more than an obsession.
"Come on silly, stop gawking and walk. I'll give you a tour later when you are settled in," Trini promised and I nodded.
"Okay, but tell me this. Do all the Alphas before have an obsession with blue? Or is this just a new thing?" I asked because I was uest to see a room that didn't have some sort of blue in it. There were even some colors I hadn't recognized, but intuition told me it was some shade of blue I didn't know about, or perhaps it had close correlation to blue.
"Ah, that. Everyone asks that when they see the pack house. What you said is fairly true though, centuries ago, an Alpha who was obsessed with his "china blue" eyes," my brows lifted up at that.
"China blue?"
Trini rolled her eyes. "It was their words not mine. Their as in those people who wrote all the history books about the pack."
"Oh, okay continue,"
"Right. Anyway he was obsessed with his eyes, and after some war which the then pack house was destroyed in, he saw it as an opportunity to leave his legacy behind. Again, their words, not mine. Hence, we have this pack."
"Woah," I breathed.
"I know right. No Alpha has bothered to change it either and I say it's because they are just as obsessed with it as they Alpha in the past since they all have blue eyes."
Her words made me think briefly to Luciano and his alluring eyes, and I had to say I agreed with her.
"So that's why they call this pack, pack blue," I said thoughtfully and she nodded.
"I never would have thought the nickname came from something so literal."
"True. Frankly, I would be surprised if someone was able to guess why the pack had such a nickname," she commented. With that, our conversation died down as we walked deeper and deeper into the pack house.
We had come across the members of the pack who had greeted Trini warmly, and at the same time, casting a curious glance my way, and Trini had quickly brushed them off stating I was a guest. Her answer got me thinking, but I didn't bring up anything in front of people I didn't know.
They would look at me, and after the introduction, some would offer shy smiles and greet me too, others would offer nods and be in their way, while some were really friendly. Through it all, I never sensed a hint of malice from any of the people we had come across, their expressions just spoke of the normal curiosity someone would have when they came across someone they didn't know.
"The people here are quite nice," I stated, and it was the truth. I hadn't yet felt like I was under someone's serious scrutiny or felt like I was being judged. But something told me I would come across them sooner or later because there always had to be some bad ones out of the bunch.
"Told you," Trini agreed.
"Are these the room areas?"
"Yep."
I glanced around cautiously, "and... I'm allowed to be in this part right?'
"Relax geez, of course you are," she reassured, then added again which got me rethinking. "I'm not breaking any rules yet."
"Yet?"
"Ah, haha, whoops. I shouldn't have said that." She smiled awkwardly then turned away as I shook my head. I guess someone still hadn't learned her lesson.
She led me down one hallway of many that seemed to look alike, and I already knew I would have trouble navigating my way through them.
"We're almost there," she drawled as the suspense stretched on.
"This better be good."
"Oh, trust me, it will be. I can't wait to see your face when you see who it is," she said, her smile so wide and mysterious that I felt that curiosity start to gnaw at me again.
"Okay, we'll see," I stated, and her smile broadened even more as she stared back at me.
We stopped at a door, finally, because I could have sworn we could have been walking for an hour now, but I definitely knew it was shorter than that. It was my anticipation that was drawing it out.
She knocked once, and heavy footsteps came from the other side as it approached the door. I heard a loud click and the door swung open, the hinges screaming I protest at having been moved.
My eyes were downcast, and I saw the front view of men's boots before they travelled upwards and I felt my breath hitch as my throat tightened.
It couldn't be...
