“What are you doing?” I immediately pulled off to the corner and got trapped by the wall on one side and Maynard on the other side.

“What? I am just coming closer to talk in whispers. You don’t want them to wake up and interrupt us. I have something really urgent to talk about,” He got argumentative, lowering his eyebrows and bringing them together as if it made sense that he must slip into the bed with me.

“It’s inappropriate,” I complained, sitting up in the bed and passing a quick stare at my sleeping mates.

“What is? We are mates,” Maynard got up after me but didn’t leave the bed. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“If you are worried because of them then don’t be. When has your worry ever concerned them? They have both played you in ways and never looked back to check up on you. Maybe it’s time you stop thinking about them and start worrying about yourself,” Maynard held forth, vertical wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows.

“You are not wrong!” I whispered, easing up in the bed with him.

“Besides, we are just cuddling,” he said under his breath and got me to raise my brow at him, “I’m kidding!” he retreated.

I subtly relaxed under the blanket to hear him say what he wished me to hear.

“So, you said it was something urgent,” I whispered, turning my side to him. The fuck! He was sexy af.

I have never seen him from this close. The little smirk curling his lip up hinted he was aware of my thoughts.

“Ahem!” I had to clear my throat to break the stare from his face.

“So?” I repeated asking him.

“So! I wanted to say sorry,” he mouthed and my face changed expressions to bland.

This is why he slid into the bed with me?

“Before you comment this is not enough excuse to be in the same bed as you, let me finish first. I have made mistakes and sometimes fiddled about but I was just jealous,” he paused just to see my eyes grow to double their original size, “Yeah! Make fun. But I began to bear a grudge whenever I saw you with Thiago. In my head, he was miles ahead of me in pursuing you and it struck my heart. I’m sorry for saying anything that I didn’t mean at that time but only said them to ruin your mood and time with Thiago,” his left cheek was sweetly squished with the pillow and his lips barely moved because of that. But everything he said really amused me into not having anything to argue about for the first time.

“Oh!” all I could respond was with that weird sound that didn’t convey my emotions to him correctly.

“Is it a good Oh! Or bad oh?” the corner of his eyes wrinkled as he waited for me to answer him. “It’s not a very bad thing,” hiding my smile, I casually gave a little nudge to my eyebrows to sound carefree. “So you are not upset with me anymore?” He asked again just to be certain there was no cold war going on between us.

“No! But this is your last chance,” i rested my face on the pillow, and this time we silently stayed there looking into each other’s eyes.

It was exciting how just when I thought all my mates were dumb and self-serving, I was proven wrong.

As the seconds turned into minutes, I watched his eyelids forcing to meet. He must be tired and so was I. I let him be the first to doze off and then followed him.

There was no regard for what we will face if the others woke up before us and saw us in the bed together.

They didn’t care about me, why should I care about what they will think?

As expected, I woke up to tumult. My eyelids were still heavy and my thoughts were all over the place. The bright light penetrating my eyes directly from the window even made it harder for me to get up at once.

“Who misplaced my stuff?” the owner of the testy voice was Thiago. Once I pushed my body up and finished yawning, I surveyed the room and found it disheveled.

Thiago was stagnant beside his bed: shirtless and vexed. Seeing his abs and sexy body was just not what I needed for the day Now I will keep thinking about it and my wolf will go crazy.

“What’s the matter with you Thiago? Why are you complaining to us about your stuff? When have we ever touched your belongings?” Maynard was already out of bed after Thiago started the ruckus.

“You should be the last one to even ask me that question right now,” Thiago’s attention turned directly to Maynard and I noticed the little peek he did behind his shoulder at me.

What was he referring to?

“I’m sorry! I don’t understand your anger towards me,” I knew Maynard didn’t receive his statement well because I saw his body shudder a bit as he got on his feet to face Thiago.

I’m warning you from messing with me today.” To avoid the distasteful beginning of the day, Thiago steered away. It wasn’t like he had already ruined our peaceful sleep but well, if he thinks he is avoiding arguments then I will try to consider his lies.

“This is what you were looking for? It was on your side of the room all along,” Lazlo, who was silently searching for what Thiago had been missing, held the charger up for Thiago and shook his head in disbelief.

“Seems like you have a habit of losing your things and then blaming others for it,” That taunt from Maynard got my eyebrows raised.

“We are still talking about the charger, right?” Lazlo went ahead and being upfront as he stealthily looked my way.

I had to roll my eyes and crawl out of the bed to take a shower but the silent eyes on me by my three mates standing in a perfect triangle disturbed me into ceasing upon my steps and passing them a glare one by one.

“It’s all fine here. Go get ready for breakfast. We will sit together in the cafeteria today.” With a slight smirk curling his lips upward, Maynard pissed off both Lazlo and Thiago, it seemed.

So we were going to walk into the cafeteria together and sit down to have breakfast too. All that after I slapped him yesterday? Does nothing about it sound a bit off?

‘What are you nervous about?’ Nia being a huge part of me knew I was worried about something because of the way I was showering aggressively

‘I don’t know. It just sounds weird how when he mentioned the cafeteria. What if he acted all nice so that he can take me to where I insulted him and then take revenge on me in front of everyone?’ I stopped fighting a battle with the soap and responded to Nia.

I had yet to make amends with her after shouting impudently at her yesterday but thankfully, she decided to let it go and appear to help me.

‘Whatever the case. You need to be prepared for the worst and the better. At least it will help you check out another mate’s name off the list, she mentioned that and I nodded faintly.
