03: Pervert!

"Seraphina. I'm Seraphina." Seraphina replied to him with cold feet. This boy here can end her existence with a snap of his fingers.

"You have a wolf. I thought werewolves only get access to their wolf and are able to shift at Eighteen?" Kylian held an amused face. She can shift. And what kind of werewolf can do that?

"That's my unique ability." Seraphina said in one sentence and can't wait to leave his sight. This young boy scares her with his suffocating aura. He is different from all the demons she has been with for the past three days, which proves that he is the Reborn Demon King.

"Seraphina, you are cheating." He said to her and glanced back at her flowers. "I love your name. It rolls off my tongue well."

He likes her hair and now her name. Seraphina can't help but scoff at him. Pervert!

Cheating? What does he mean by that?

"And what do you mean by cheating?"

"Don't worry, with time you will know." She hated being put in suspense. He said she is cheating and failed to tell her what his reason was for saying it? Now, she finds him annoying.

"If you are back then Father is back too, right." She stood up abruptly and runned towards a cloth which was wrapped on the floor. She picked it up and laid it on the flowers she packed together.

"Why are you doing that?" Kylian asked as she watched her draping the cloth on the flowers and covering it up.

"I'm covering it up so the winds won't disrupt it and I don't want the birds picking on it." She explained and walked away from it, about to leave the garden. Her dad is back, safe and sound. Seraphina was happy to go meet him and express her love to him. She has been praying to the Moon Goddess to guide her father and bring him back safely from the war.

Seraphina felt herself being pushed back and her butt landed on a hard seat. "Ouch." She screamed out in pain and glanced over at her side.

"I'm not done with you yet." Kylian sat back comfortably and crossed his legs over with his hands not leaving her hands as he held her tightly.

Seraphina cursed him slowly, she really wished to say it out loud and to his face but she did not know his next move. It will be better not to anger him.

"I want to go meet my dad." She grits her teeth at him in anger.

"I'm not done with you yet. You will go when I'm done." Kylian repeated his words to her without glancing at her. How can she think of going when he isn't done with her yet.

"Why would you…"

"Seraphina!" She was cut off by Alicia's voice and she snapped her head to look at her. Alicia holds the two cups of water as her eyes are fixed on Kylian. She developed cold feet and she knew instantly that he was no ordinary person. Who is he? Her eyes went over his hand, holding Seraphina's hands tightly. Is Seraphina in danger? Seraphina snatches her hand away from him and faces Alicia.

"Alicia, thanks for the water." She was revived from her thoughts by Seraphina words. She hands over the cup of water to her and she gulps it down immediately. This guy is one hell of a trouble and she feels drained by him.

"Who..who.." Alicia stutters and about to ask when Kylian turns swiftly at her.

"Leave!" Alicia staggers and gasps in fright. Is he… Is he the scary little boy? "Now!" He added threateningly. Alicia turned to leave and she staggered back and fell on her feet. She picked herself up immediately and ran away from them.

"What did you do?" Seraphina turned to ask him.

"Nothing. I did nothing." Kylian replied coldly.

"Then why did you frighten her away? Why did you tell her to leave? You should be the one to leave." She said the last part in a low tone and hopes she hasn't said too much.

"What? You want me to leave." Kylian asked puzzled and wondered what he had done wrong. He had told that weak little girl to leave because she was getting into their moment and the alone time he wanted with her.

"Not like that." Seraphina shrugged, taking back her words. She sniffed in a scent and her lips formed into a wide smile.

"What is it? Your dad is coming for you?" He asked and turned to the entrance of the garden. How did he know? Well, he is an old soul so he should know.

Seraphina followed his gaze to the entrance when her father entered through it. Her face lit up and she stood up immediately rushing towards him.

"Father." She called excitedly.

"Seraphina! How have you been doing? Hope you are being treated well here?" Alpha Alfred carried her into her arms. "You are getting big." He teased her and she giggled excitedly.

"I've missed you Father." She hugged him lightly and kissed his cheeks.

"I've missed you too dear. I can see you have a companion with you, Kylian. You two have met." Kylian stood in front of them with his hands crossed behind him.

"Yes Father. He is troublesome." Seraphina whispered to her Father's ear. Her Father chuckled lightly.

"I'm not." Kylian disagreed and looked at Seraphina with a frown.

"You are eavesdropping. Even if you could hear that, you should have pretended you didn't or tried not to hear it."

"Seraphina stop." Her father ordered her and looked back at Kylian. "I'm sorry for her disrespectful attitude. It's unlike her." He said to the little young boy in front of him. He might be young but he is mighty.

"It's nothing." He waved his hands at him in a dismissive manner. "She is cool. I like her already." He said and walked out from them.

"Well, I hate him. Pervert! He annoys me but I won't deny that I was afraid of him." Seraphina was thrown into thoughts on why she was able to talk to him in a familiar manner even though she was afraid of him.

"It didn't look like you were." Her father put her down and held her hand tightly as they walked away from the garden.

"I was. I really was shaken by his domineering aura but… in no time, I fit into it and conversed with him in a familiar manner. Thinking about it now, he is cool too." She was afraid of him at first but got comfortable with him and he was really cool with her. Maybe he isn't as bad as people had painted him and he isn't as annoying and troublesome as she had painted him too.

"Kylian is a great kid but be careful around him and make sure not to anger him. His anger is no sight to behold." Her dad gave her a little piece of advice. Seraphina thought he looked a bit surprised and sad when she told him to be the one to leave. Was that a bit harsh? Next time I meet him, I will be nice to him.

The night was already dark and they were just done with their meals as Seraphina walked back to her room with Alicia beside her. She didn't pay any attention to what Alicia was saying as she kept thinking about the dinner they just had. Kylian had dinner with them but didn't glance at her. If their eyes ran over, he would ignore her and face his food. Did she offend him or was he offended by her hurtful words to him?

Seraphina had been afraid of him at first and wanted him to ignore her but now, she wanted him to talk to her.

"Seraphina, are you even listening?" Alicia nudged her. Seraphina sighed loudly and opened the door to their room and stepped in.

"It seems you are not listening. Oh My Goddess, Kylian was gracefully eating at the dining. Like, how can he look so hot and scary at the same time?"

"How old are you Alicia?" Seraphina asked immediately and turned swiftly to look at her.

"We are eight right?" Alicia chuckled awkwardly and fiddled with her fingers. Seraphina stared at her for a few minutes without saying a thing. "You are scaring me Seraphina. Did.. did I do something wrong?" She stuttered and averted her gaze to the floor.

"No. I'm just wondering how you were able to know who is hot or not at your age." Seraphina said sarcastically and walked towards her closet. Alicia breathed out in relief. She had really thought she did something wrong. But haven't they advanced to that level? She wasn't blind not to know who is handsome and not? But Kylian is. Even though he looks and feels scary.

Alicia sat beside Seraphina who laid down on the bed. She brought out a children's book to read out night tales for her before she went to sleep.

"Don't bother reading that. Just go to sleep." She said and turned her back at her, ready to sleep

"Are you sure you are not mad at me?" Alicia asked again to be sure.

"I'm not. I just feel tired and sleepy." Alicia dropped the children's book on the shelf and walked towards the second bed. There were two beds in the room, one for Seraphina and one for her. She laid on it and pulled the comforter closer to her.

"Good night." She whispered and turned off the light.

One hour had passed and Seraphina hadn't been able to sleep. She kept on tossing on the bed and thinking whether Kylian was really mad at her. Were her words too harsh? He has been nice to her and she has to be harsh to him.

Seraphina heard a sharp movement in the room and she stood up instinctively.

"Who is that?" She said and glanced over at Alicia who was sleeping peacefully.

"I'm here. Don't panic." Someone tapped her from behind and she jumped in fright. Her heart was in her mouth when she glanced behind and on her bed, Kylian was on her bed with a smirk on his face.

"Did you miss me, baby girl?"
