Isla's POVWe were still talking when the scent of my mate wafted into the room and like an intoxicating drug, my eyes lingered on the door like I was waiting for him to walk in any second later, and like I predicted, he did. "Alex..." A whisper had escaped my mouth but the smirk on his face told me he clearly heard his name leaving my lip. His eyes held mine captive as he approached me on the bed. Kevin finally got up on seeing him. "Before you two ravage each other, hand me my rose oil liquid soap so I can leave."I blushed on hearing his words. Kelvin has no mouth filter and that I’m now well aware of. Alex gave him a weak glare but said nothing and moved to sit beside me before pulling me into his lap with a kiss to my neck."Hey Alex" Avery said, climbing off the bed. "Hey Avery..." Alex said acknowledging her with a nod. He leaned away, pulling out the rose oil liquid soap before handing it to Kevin with a gruff voice as he said. "Here. Now leave if you don't want me to pull
Nate's POV.I was just about walking into Lizzy’s room when I realized she had locked her door from the inside. I wiggled the door knob with a sigh. “Lizzy?”There was no reply from inside and I wiggled the door knob again with a knowing expression on my face. "I know you're In there, Lizzy. Open up."Silence. I sighed. "Come on. I brought your favorite chips... Don't you want to have a taste?"More Silence. It was starting to irk me out and i was considering leaving, but decided to try one more time. "... Please?"After some seconds, I heard footsteps approaching the door and when it opened up, Lizzy was standing there in a thigh length T-shirt, barefoot, with her hair up in a messy bun. "What do you want?!" She harshly berated me, her hand still on the door knob and glaring.I swallowed, my eyes scanning her from the messy bun to the body hugging T-shirt to her bare legs, and down to her barefoot before staring up to her face, taking note of the naked rage in her eyes, Inclu
Nate's POV.In order not to cause a fight between us, I simply nodded before adding, “If you say so”She said nothing else and we continued with our movie. This time, there was no further distraction until the end of the movie and I made to put the empty bag of eaten chips into the trash."I just realized we didn't have breakfast today, and I was so busy at the mall I didn't have lunch... What about you?" I said turning to her. "Why were you so busy at the mall?" She asked instead. "Oh..." He started, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. "Actually Alex and I went to the mall... to get Isla some clothes... " Lizzy just sat there staring at me with a blank stare. At some point, I was left wondering if she was going to strangle me to death. It was so creepy that I had to clear my throat rather awkwardly before asking again."I'm going downstairs to cook. Are you coming?""We're almost about to find out what happens to Tracey in the next episode. Let's just wait a bit longer.""A bit
Nate's POV"I think you are a sweet and intelligent woman and I just want to cheer you up, okay? So I'm taking you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant. I'll buy you whatever you want.""Okay that's it. You're acting overly nice. What's the deal with you?" She threw her hands up in the air, getting frustrated."Lizzy, I just want to take you out for dinner. Is there a problem? I'm not being overly nice, and even if I am, it's because you deserve it, okay?""I don't believe you but you better not be trying to play a fast one on me or you will be sorry."I swallowed, "Okay. Fine. Lizzy, let's go out for dinner, I'm hungry and I'll need some company while I eat.." with that i shoved the dark gown into her hands. "Happy now?"She shoved the gown back in my hands and took a brown body hugging gown. Without a word, she walked into the closet and shut the door in my face. Sighing, I walked towards the bed and got down, thanking the moon goddess for seeing Alex and Island on time to
Alex POV.Breakfast the next morning was so awkward that you could slice the tension in the room with a knife. Nate and Lizzy sat from my far right, Kelvin and Avery sitting in between but the two seem to be beefing each other."So Avery..." I spoke up, and Kevin glanced up to look at her as well,. "When do you plan on heading back. You can stay as long as you want though... I just wanted to make sure you'll be present for the Luna naming ceremony..."I smiled at Isla who glanced down with a shy smile. My mate is so innocent and naïve. "oh actually" Avery started, looking sincerely remorseful. "I'm leaving after tonight." Kevin shot her a surprise look but said nothing."Is it urgent?" I asked, getting worried."Yeah." Avery bite her lower lip in hesitation,. "my dad's been trying to reach me, so I might as well, head back and see what's going on."With that, i turned to Kevin who slowly shook his head, silently telling me not to push it because they were amongst other people. "Oka
Isla's POVMy eyes widened as I watched Kevin pose in a fighting stance before me, fist raised to his face, the other fist to his chest. "You really want me to hit you?" I asked carefully like I hadn't heard him clearly the first time he told me to.. "Yeah. Right across the jaw. Or my arm.. anywhere you want to... ""Um. Okay.." I awkwardly got into a fighting stance, my posture anything but serious as I was looking quite nervous. I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I was actually worried about hurting him. I might hurt him, or better worse, poke my finger in his eyes. Well, that was all i could think of as I advance closer to him. It's not like i could actually cause him to fly across the training grounds like I have got any strength left in me. All my life, I had never trained. I was only made to work as a maid while being abused. Not once have i never trained and that suddenly got me wanting to know whether my father ever thought I’d be Alpha. After all, i didn't have sibling, so
Isla POV"Are we going to continue training or are you just going to stand there while staring at someone in particular" i asked with a smirk, but had to concealed it quickly by pursing my lips when he turned to face me, shaking his head like he was ridding himself of whatever thoughts he had in his mind. "Come on. I'll get you a blind fold and we can continue." He gruffly said before walking away and leaving me to stare after him looking confused. What do i need a blindfold for again? I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize Avery was now standing beside me, and when she tapped me over the shoulder rather tentatively to get my attention, I almost jumped out of her skin, a shrill scream leaving my lips. "Hey... " Avery stifled a chuckle, her hand flying to my mouth. "It's just me "I bite down at my lower lip in embarrassment as soon as she retrieved her hands, letting me know there was nothing to be afraid of."I thought you weren't going to come to the training fields toda
"You ready Isla or do I have to remind you that we're still in the middle of training.." Kevin asked, and I clenched my hands into fist, ridding my mind off of every distracting thoughts."I'm ready..." I said, hands right In front of her me i steadied the sole of my feet back into the ground, ready to move as quickly as i could possibly move across the floor. "Be careful... Go easy on her." I heard Alex whispered as Kevin drew the string on the bow to shoot. Kevin shot the first arrow and it came straight to my right shoulder. "Ow!" I winced and grabbed my shoulder, but he didn't let me recover for a second before he fired another arrow to my left thigh."Hey!" I said whimpering like a child, and rather than hold my throbbing thigh, I took a step back, holding my fists to my face as if stopping the arrow to come straight to my face or forehead. "You should be more focused on dodging the arrows than shielding your face, Isla.. if these were real arrows, one would have gone through
Isla's POVIt was around evening when I awoke from my slumber. When Alex had brought me home from the training ground, he had lured me to get some sleep after showering.I quickly got up on my feet, tossing the blankets aside. Alex who was still sleeping by my side, quickly sat up when he realized i was leaving. "Isla?" I stopped, freezing in my steps to stare ahead. The scent of my mate infiltrated my nostrils and as i turned to face him, Alex was already standing right In front of me. "What's a dragon Lord?" I asked suddenly.Alex raised a brow before sighing. "Where were you heading off to? It's almost midnight… are you hungry?" I noticed how he completely avoided my question. I was about to protest when my stomach starts rumbling. “is that a yes?”I couldn't help but laugh with my hand over my mouth when his stomach rumbled as well, and Alex smiled, seeing me laugh. "We didn't even have lunch today, remember?" He said, and his expression suddenly darkened. "we would have, if
