''Are you serious?" exclaimed Rithu in surprise. "WOAH WOAH, does she know about the whole werewolf thing?" asked Max. "I'll explain everything" said Rian calmly. "There is nothing to explain about this." Rithu said with her eyes still popped out. After saying this she left from the place. Meanwhile Rian took Max for a brisk walk. "Who was that cute angry bird?" Max asked to Rian while they were walking. "That is Rithu" Rian replied. "So are you in love with her?" asked Max who was so curious. "Maybe'' said Rian with a small blushing smile on his face. "I know that smile" said Max who was happy and excited. "Don't meddle between my love thing" said Rian. Max got a little embarrassed hearing that so he decided to asking nothing more about Rian's love life.
"Are you planning to settle in NYC, Rian?"
"Yes Max, planning to start a family here."
"That's nice to hear."
"Yes ,I am looking forward to start a new life with her"
"Um-um , you moved on , after Esther."
"Esther was the most thrilling chapter of my story. But you can't keep on reading the same chapter for the rest of your life" said Rian. Max could see Rian's eyes getting filled with tears as he talked about Esther. Max stayed with Rian that night. In the hours of darkness ,Rian went to Rithu's house.
The window was open and he got in through it. "Hey beauty, wake up" Rian said as he gently moved his finger on her cheeks. Slowly Rithu opened her eyes. She opened her eyes to see those deep ocean eyes that melted her heart. "Oh no, this isn't happening" she told when she got back her senses. "I should have never interrupted your sleep, but I had to tell something really important." said Rian ,sitting close to her in the bed. "You know Max ,my friend whom you met today on the stairs. Don't go too close to him" said Rian. "But why?" Rithu questioned back.
"Alpha is the highest position of the pack. To be the Alpha one has to kill the triple walkers."
Rithu interrupted in between. "Triple walkers?"
"There are many descendants of the vampire blood .After their death ,they reborn as a human.The descendants are grouped into three and that is why they are called the 'Triple Walkers'. In 1860s ,I read a book of a witch. As I have told you, I was born with Indian witches. In the book I saw a lady's picture. Her name was Nathalie, she was a powerful vampire. Her soulmate John staked her straight into her heart." said Rian.
"But what is the relation between triple walkers and me?'' asked Rithu.
"I don't know how to explain this to you but you are the human soul of Nathalie."
"No way!!" exclaimed Rithu with tension and fear.
"Does that mean , I was a vampire named Nathalie in the past who was killed by my boyfriend and I reborn to be Rithu?" Rithu asked.
"Yes ,that's what it means" said Rian.
"So I am one of the triple walkers. But to make it triple there must me two more people , who are those two people?" asked Rithu.
"I don't know my love. If Max's intention is to be the Alpha , then he may try to kill you. But don't worry. I would never let that happen." said Rian caringly.
"What if he has already killed the other two of my partners and I am the only one left?" asked Rithu who was so worried about the situation.
"Now you are overthinking. Maybe the other two haven't born yet or maybe they are already dead in the past years." said Rian who wanted to calm her down.
Rian moved closer to her, tucking hair away from her eyes, behind her ears , leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead and said I LOVE YOU RITHIKA. Rithu's eyes slowly closed as he moved his fingers gently over her hair .Next morning she woke up and searched for Rian. He was already gone. She took her phone to text him and saw a message from him, 'Wake up sunshine, check the kitchen counter' said the message. She went to the kitchen counter and saw a cup of coffee and breakfast all ready. "That's cute" she said to herself with a small blushing smile on her face. Ding dong went the door bell. "It must be Rian" thought Rithu. She rushed to the room , combed her and washed her face. She was ready to open the door now. She opened the door with a enlightening smile on her face. "Good morning Rithu" said Max from the door.
