Five

ALEXIOS POV

"Hello, I am Sophia Adalee James. I am your new classmate." 'Sophia Adalee. My mates's name is Sophia Adalee.'

"How old are you?" Wyatt's hands instantly fell on my knee as I forced myself to not growl. How dare a male ask my mate such a question in a flirty tone?!

"You can't. You will scare her." I heard his voice in my head. Indeed, she is human.

Fuck!!!

"I clocked seventeen on February 16th." Sophia answered.

"She is older than you are." Hearing Owen's amused voice in my head had me scowling while the other two smiled.

"We are of the same age!" I defended.

"Yes you both are, except your birthday is not until May. Doesn't this mean she is three months older than you are?" Owen gasped while I felt like punching him.

"Three months and some days. His birthday is not May 16th but May 25th." Caius added, his tone even more annoying than Owen's. Wyatt looked like he was enjoying a show.

"You all should find your way home!" I huffed. Sophia looked relieved as she was finally about to leave the podium after answering a few questions like where she came from. Why did they relocate here? What her favorite subject was?

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Wyatt's question didn't just leave the whole room shocked, even though I hadn't expected such a question from him but I was curious. Curious to hear her answer.

'Of course she would have, she is too beautiful to be single.' The thought made my heart ache. Her beautiful eyes found mine and I gulped. 'Does she feel it?' I wondered.

"No. No I don't." The fact that she had answered that while looking at me pleased me. I felt reassured. It felt as though she could feel my nervousness and she was telling me to not worry.

Sophia almost fled away from the podium. Her head was once more lowered and her hoodie was pulled to completely cover her.

"I don't want to not be in the same class as her." I confessed to my friends who all nodded in agreement.

"Of course. As soon as this class is over, I intend to change our classes to the same as hers." Wyatt responded.

"So, are you going to tell her?" Caius asked. He has been curious about this and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Tell her what? That I am her mate? She will think of me as a pervert. Or that we are destined to be together forever by the moon goddess? She is human, and humans well see the moon as a beautiful part of nature, not as an idol. And need I remind you, most of them believe in God. So exactly what am I meant to tell her?" I asked. How do I approach someone who most likely does not know of our existence?

"You could tell her you wish to be her friend. At least, I am going to be doing that." Owen shrugged.

"I think that will be hard. She seems like a shy person." I nodded agreeing with Wyatt. Earlier when she was called to go up, I had detected a change in her breathing, and while she was standing there, she had held herself from breathing so many times.

"I have always liked a good challenge. I just didn't take you all to be ones who will run when faced with a challenge." Owen scoffed.

"I think she is friends with that redhead. I will befriend her too." Caius smirked as he looked the lady's way. His expression had his friends wondering just what he planned to do.

"I don't care what you two do, but you mustn't hurt her friend in any form." Alexios warned them. He had an idea of what Caius might want to do but the redhead will only end up being hurt when Caius meets his mate.

"Hurting her friend will be a stupid thing to do." Owen's eye rolled.

The class soon finished with none of them paying attention. Wyatt as promised had rushed to the administration block where he got a hold of her lectures timetable and changed al of theirs to match hers. Three classes together later, we were all at the cafeteria for our lunch.
