Infinity And Beyond{Celine's pov}

"Celine, are you okay?!" Francesca hurries towards me, her eyes swelled up due to the moisture.

My arm looks like a bloody mess and any person with eyes would say that this would be excruciatingly painful, but like always, all I could feel was a slight burning sensation. Feeling exhausted, I plant myself on the couch to catch my breath.

"Francesca, leave her for now. She needs rest and medicines. You can ask all the questions later," Josiah says in an authoritative tone, giving no room for an argument. Francesca looks at my current state and agrees understandingly.

"Where is the Band-Aid Kit kept?" Alpha Drake, the one who was silent till this very second, at last, opens up his mouth. Francesca mutely points over to a drawer near the kitchen entrance. He walks to the kitchen, sinks, and washes his hands and with no reply, he walks to the drawer, takes the kit, walks towards me, and sits down on his one knee in front of me.

He carefully takes my arm and places it on his thigh and carefully wipes the blood and does the first aid. I just stare at him while he was aiding my wound. Francesca and Josiah leave the room, reasoning they have some urgent work to do, but I barely acknowledge their presence.

"What is he?" I think while gazing at him.

This man was the one who teased me about not knowing my past and was ready to crush me into pieces, and now this same man is helping me.

Even chameleon doesn't change his color this fast like him.

In the end, he slowly wraps my arm with a white cotton bandage. My arm looks thoroughly bandaged, and it looked as neat as a bandage done by a nurse.

"Will you go to your room by yourself?" he asks, concern clear in his tone.

"Yes, it is my arm that's injured, not my legs," I say, annoyed by his latest behavior.

It is irritating when you can't understand the aim or the reason behind someone's behavior but I won't disagree that I was being extremely rude here.

"Can you just act like a mature human being for once?" he growls at me.

"What changed?" I ask, not wanting to beat around the bush.

"I am ready and want to give this pre-destined relationship a chance," he says. It sounds more like forced to give a chance.

"Do you want to?" I ask, my voice sounding candid.

"Yes," he said, sounding firm and confident.

"Okay then, I will try to adjust myself too," I say, and stand up from the couch. Without sparing another glance, I turn and climb up the stairs wordlessly.

I could feel his gaze on my behind, but I just climb up. I reach my room and shut the door.

Entering the room, I just collapse into the bed, but then a pang of pain hits my arm, making me instantly jump. Letting out a massive sigh, I carefully lie on the bed, making sure I don't experience the pain again.

Argh! This just had to happen!?

Why has my life become so dramatic lately ?!

I was a normal village girl; I thought I was normal until yesterday, of course.

Life was tiring before, but now it's irritating and immeasurably exhausting. With knowing new secrets of the past now and then, life surely has taken an unknown turn for me.

But before I could think more, I felt my eyelids slowly closing, and then exhaustion and sleep had taken over my body.

{AFTER SOME TIME}

"Wake up, Celine. Dinner is ready," Francesca softly whispers and walks away.

I stifle a yawn and wake up. My muscles were all sore, and I was feeling even more tired after sleeping.

I groggily walk towards the washroom to wash my face and freshen up a bit before going down to dinner.

I carefully wash my face, not wanting a reminder of the pain. Still a bit dazed, I walk downstairs when I hear voices.

Out of which I recognized one of them.

It was of Alpha but what is he doing here?

All sleep vanishes from my system and I hurry downstairs to see Josiah and Francesca setting the dining table while Alpha looked outside through a window. I finally enter the kitchen, all the three pairs of eyes, for the second time in the day, focus on me.

"Well, they are having dinner here," Francesca explains, their presence with a smile.

Oh...

"Oh, that's lovely to hear," I say, smiling and genuinely happy about them having dinner here.

Alpha still hadn't acknowledged my presence, but I am curious to know how long will he ignore me. So I too remain silent.

We all set the dinner. Francesca had been the one to cook since I was asleep thus all the dishes were simple and ones which could be easily made. We quickly sit on our respective chairs once everything was on the table.

Alpha sat directly opposite to me but his entire focus was on the plate below. Amused by his behavior, I continue to eat while Francesca and Josiah were conversing about a topic I had no clue about. My mind is just a mess and everything is going just around and around.

"But Luci- "he again tells her name Lucia for the third time of the day. I feel this is not a mistake anymore but again if I ever ask, expecting an answer would be stupid of me.

I won't let it affect me, but the curiosity within me can't handle this secrecy.

"Celine, Josiah here tells a person can love another for infinity and beyond but I thoroughly disagree, what is your opinion?" She asks, completely ignoring the fact that Josiah just called her Lucia.

Agh! Secrecy again!

Stop thinking about it, Celine. I command myself and think of an answer to her question.

"Well, it depends. In the end, infinity is just a perspective," I say, looking directly at Alpha, and we share eye contact. I know even though it is silent, there was an agreement among us, at last.

A/N: We had a bit more moments of Drake and Celine here, How were they?

But again, let me remind you this is not a romance story completely.

So, I need a ship name for them.{I suck at making them}
