"Trust me, I never felt so dumb ever before in my life," Ryley remarked. "I mean... Uh, my father, my alpha father always knew what I had been doing all this while with Valen."
He and Zander had comforted themselves in the guest room as they enjoyed the cool breeze gushing inside the white themed room combined with light emerald color.
His was taken over... By his mate. Though it was not prohibited to walk in his chambers while his mate slept probably in nothing on his bed, Zander acquainted himself in the guest room with his best friend as they talked about the conversation that continued (after forcing it on them) after being kicked out of his room some hours back with their vile fathers.
"Neither did I. I feel like all my secrets have never been secrets but an open message." Zander, whose bare torso was loving the cold assault of twilight air instantly replied, sharing his own fee
Sorry for making you wait.
83 'Umm I would be the last person to refuse the sight but Zander, don't you think you must not enter now. She must be... Naked!' His shadow painted the tiled floor black, growing wide and big at his side as the dim light luminating over his head covered his fair skin into a shade of primrose. Soft and warm. Tickling and soothing. The blanket of light cast a shadow of his lashes on his cheekbones as Zane thought of his wolf's words. 'I know you know how eager I have always been to embrace our mate. This is not the correct time. She must be in pain. And shock. And in deep sleep. So let her be in that and gain back some energy. We have our entire lives to love her.' Yet another convincing set of statement from Zack. He sounded imperatively significant but then it was hard to unnotice the inquisitiveness he displayed. It was like 'Do it yet do not do it' voice. One that was supposed to convince
84Sun crept up and its golden rays diffused over the horizon, welcoming yet another eventful day. Zander stretched his arms for a second and went back to controlling the steering wheel.He yawned as his sleep was not satisfied. Nor was his body with his mate's fragrance and touch. But here he was, with Wendy, his badass girl. They were off to Reyne's house to bring some of her clothes.Wendy hated it. Oh no, or should we just reveal that she almost kicked Zander to the ground when he called her over to his house for this. For helping him with her clothes. She was mad for disturbing her sleep. And for whom? That bloody migrant bitch who caused a whole lot of chaos between them."Uh, Wendy, I was thinking of grabbing some coffee from Herman's." Zander spoke, but he must have forgotten that she was MAD at him.Her hard peripheral glare wiped off the layer of fog from his head and helped him reca
85Zander stilled there. No movements. No respiration. No blinking of eyes. He seemed more like a mannequin standing in his position ceaselessly that Wendy pulled at his arm to get his heed as he was not responding in spite of her constant calls.She tugged at his sleeve yet no movement. Defeatedly, she brought her feet angrily and stomped it on his, earning a loud cry.He jumped holding his feet as he painfully winced. Zander ultimately came out of his trauma and cast her a dark look. "Why did you do that?" He clenched and released his teeth."You were not responding let alone move, so..." She shrugged her shoulders and Zander came back to a standing position.His mind wandered back to Ryley's message and the colour of his cheeks transformed to sandy dull."You have zoned out again. What is wrong, Zander?" Wendy pulled his sleeve, she whined li
86 "How dare you!" Hari rose, his knuckles turned white as he clutched his fingers into a tight fist. The colour of his face became scarlet. He tightened his jaw while his gaze shot dark glares at them. Between his anger, there was a hint of insecurity that screamed in terror. Terror of losing something precious. The crescent moon mark on her back below her right shoulder was not known to anyone except for himself and Reyne. Not to forget her mother that delivered her to this world. Because she herself had one on her shoulder. "Mr. Stark," Ryley interrupted. He had had enough of the elders and their conversation. It was leading to nowhere but moving round and round. If they really needed to know the backstory then he was certain that this argument was not going to help it. Someone had to drift the motion of their conversation elsewhere. It was him wh
87 "A gorgeous and ever so shy she-wolf. She was seventeen when her parents died and she had to live on her own. It had only been a few weeks to their deaths that Shae found an oddly mysterious woman standing at her door step. She was reluctant to let her in but she did as the woman was nice to speak with. The woman wanted to take Shae with her at her abode after she heard from the people in the locality that her parents passed away in an unexpected accident. The woman wanted to adopt her. Shae was not ready. She didn't trust her until she was told why the woman wanted her." He took a dramatic pause and looked at the jug of water on the table before them, on the table. The condensed droplets of water on the surface of the jug glided below its curved body and combined with another, becoming a thick drop before it flattened on the mahogany table creating a small pond around the container.
88 "He was held captive by the old woman since he was a destructive demon who had slaved many girls and destroyed their lives. And the wise woman had caught him once when she went to treat an ill minor girl. She had found the ifrit in her body and after bringing him out, she fought him until he lost and seized him in a cave far away from the human dwellings in a place that was older than our existence. She guarded it with spells and stuff that would keep him locked inside for years until the mining companies and archeologists arrived at the place. They dug it open and unknowingly released him in the process and he directly flew back to the old woman's place in order to kill her." It sounded like one of the stories taken from Arabian nights' Story book. Zander and Ryley unquestionably stared at him with dropping jaws and eyes which never blinked. If they had been anime characters stuck in a world of perils or for that
89 “Where the hell is Zander? He had promised to let me copy his notes.” Yeoman sighed as his eyes gawked at the threshold of the canteen from time to time. Wendy flickered her lashes over his words and twisted her mouth in irritation. She slapped him on the head and scoffed, “This is why you have been waiting for him, idiot! I thought you really missed him as he had not attended school for over a week.” “I do miss him alright. But a promise is a promise, and I won’t go to the next class until he fulfils it.” He replied and returned her slap back to her and flinched back in order to tackle her following punch. "You are so stupid, Yeoman. That Guy has not come for seven days and his notes are yet completed. And you... Your presence or absence makes no bloody sense." Clark said While Wendy rose from her seat in frustration and hovered over Yeoman’s head as her tiny fists hit him on the forehead, head and mout
90"Which is your favorite flavour, Britney?" Looking at Rayne's best friend, Zander asked her."Black current." She merrily replied."And Reyne would take a Vanilla and Chocolate mix. Okay then. I will be back with your ice cream." He answered and left the two girls alone. Britney amusingly arched her brows as Zander didn't ask his mate and just mentioned the flavour she would have.Obviously... He might be knowing her likes and dislikes!As he hit his steps further, Britney and Reyne watched him go away with an overwhelmed and happy grin. The entire day after lectures was bliss. Neither of the two girls could have had such an amazing trip if it was not for the wild wolves.One can say that the image of themselves they had formed in people's eyes was negative whereas in truth they were the sweetest guys.They joked, pulled each other
