For Once in her life she found out she wasn't shivering from the late-night cold that usually kept her awake. she was wrapped up in a warm blanket, so warm that she was almost lulled back to sleep, but once again she felt a movement by her side. although the bed was a large one, it wasn't so spacious that she would not know when someone else was laying by her side. Kira's entire body was frozen in fear as she turned her head to the side. she was met with two eyes glowing fiercely in the dark.
" Shane?" Kira was forcing herself to not panic. she thought that perhaps the bed she was laying on was Shane's. Kira didn't expect Shane to sleep on the couch on her behalf. she was the one who had taken over his bed actually, and she felt grateful for him even offering it to her.
" Not Shane," a guttural voice said. the alpha raises an arm and reaches toward her. Kira screams out in panic, she fell out of the bed in her desperation to flee, whatever his intentions had been she didn't wait to find out. the lights were flicked on and the room was brightened up. kira's eyes were quick to adjust and she was able to make out the figure of the man on the bed.
" what the heck is going on here? "Shane who had been the one to turn on the light asked. he eyed Kira who was on the floor and then his roommate suspiciously. " Ashton, what did you do?"
" nothing at all. she panicked"
" why are you here? didn't you say you would sleep out tonight? "
" I was planning to, but things didn't work out as expected " Ashton's golden eyes shifted to Kira. just like Shane, he was incredibly good-looking and had a pale complexion. he was a bit muscular and had red hair, Kira knew he must have dyed it that color. the bright hue brought out his sharp eyes more. Ashton looked a lot more monotonous than even Shane was. his eyes held curiosity but no emotion showed on his face. " who is she?'
" shouldn't you have asked that first before you got into bed with her? "Shane said with a snort.
" it's my bed " Ashton spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Shane ignores him and walks forward to pull Kira up to her feet. Kira felt surprised at just how effortlessly the alpha had lifted all her weight from the ground. she also felt embarrassed at the thought of not being able to pull herself together on time. Shane had been nothing but kind to her, she didn't want to cause him more trouble
" she is Kira, and from now henceforth she is my responsibility " Shane turns to leave the room after saying this. he pulled Kira close behind him and led her to his room. he went ahead to grab a blanket and some pillows. Kira reaches out to accept them thinking that he wanted her to go sleep in the living room. she didn't mind much because she had slept in the worst places before. but much to her surprise, Shane evaded her hands
" get to bed, "he said before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. Kira was stunned. Had he just given her his bed to sleep on? Kira felt incredibly touched by his kind gesture. no one has ever treated her so kindly before. although Shane acted cold on the outside he was such a good person. Kira made up her mind to repay the alpha at the earliest
***
Kira woke up very early the next morning. it wasn't a big deal for her to be up at such a time. she was already used to it back in the Blood Moon pack. Plus, she wanted to at least do something nice for the two alphas who had let her stay the night. Kira managed to clean up the living room and kitchen as quietly as she could. Shane was fast asleep on the couch, he looked even more handsome when he didn't have a scowl on his face.
Kira prepared a sumptuous breakfast with a few ingredients found in the fridge, she noted that both Alphas needed to go shopping soon. after making breakfast, Kira went to the bathroom to shower and get ready, She Wore a pair of dark jeans and hoodie. she didn't want to appear feminine after knowing that she was the only woman in the entire School
when she came back to the kitchen she found that Ashton was awake. he was eyeing the freshly made breakfast on the table with a blank expression. seeing that he was staring at the food for so long, Kira began to fear that maybe he didn't like the idea of her touching their stuff. she had only wanted to do something that shows she wasn't completely useless
" you cooked all this?"
" Y...yes".
the alpha stared at her silently. he seemed to be studying her and yet his expression looked bored. Kira felt uneasy. did she do something wrong? was she going to get kicked out for this? the thought of being alone out there scared her incredibly
" how much? "he finally spoke again after what seemed like several minutes
"What?"
" how much do you charge for the food?" Kira could only look on in confusion. not until Ashton pulled out his wallet from his pocket and took out several notes did she react
"No, I don't charge anything. I like to cook so I made breakfast today. I also wanted to thank you both for letting me stay here "
Ashton hums. he doesn't question her further. he takes a seat on the table and starts digging into the food. Kira wasn't expecting a thank you from the alpha, she was just happy that he was enjoying the meal.
She goes to fetch a glass of water for herself. it was at this time that Shane walked into the kitchen. he had just cleaned up but hadn't gotten dressed yet. his messy blonde hair gave him a very sexy appearance. Kira could almost sigh in contentment at being surrounded by such handsome alphas
" you ordered takeout? " Shane asked Ashton when he saw the food on the table
" your girlfriend cooked" Kira almost spit out her water at Ashton's reply. her face turns a bright shade of red as Shane turns to look at her.
" who asked you to do all this? "
" I...I just wanted to thank you for helping me yesterday "
" Hm, this doesn't change anything " Shane took the seat opposite Ashton " You're still going to repay me "
" I know. I don't mind that ".
" did you eat? "
Kira opened her mouth to ask whether she could. back in the pack house, she wasn't allowed to eat until all the members of the family were satisfied. she only got scraps that were barely enough to keep her going. but she had gotten used to it. so the thought of eating today hadn't occurred to her. Kira shook her head
" Why didn't you?"
" you hadn't given me permission to do so" both Shane and Ashton stopped eating and gave her strange looks. Kira immediately spoke up to cover what she had said earlier. " can I join you now? "
" come take a seat then, girlfriend" Kira blushed at Shane's words and came to sit beside him.
" I got your timetable yesterday. your first classes are with Ashton here. he will look after you"
" I will try, "Ashton said with a shrug. he ignores the glare Shane sends his way.
" you will be fine. Those Alphas know better than to touch what's mine " Shane spoke out between mouthfuls. he glanced at Kira from the corner of his eyes, smirking at how hard she was blushing
This Luna was very cuteKira ties her hair up in a ponytail, she was wishing that she had a hat to cover her hair with. the least she wanted was to stand out, it was why she was dressed up in baggy clothes. she looks down at the piece of paper in her hand that held her timetable. she had biology class first and then English comes right after. those were the only classes she didn't share with Shane. it unsettled her not having the alpha close to protect her. Kira hated just how much she was depending on the Alpha, but she had no other choice at the moment. he was her only source of protection and the only one who had helped her in her time of need. he gave her a roof over her head and food to eat. he have done everything possible to make her comfortable, so of course she felt sincerely grateful to him. even if he asked her for her body she wouldn't hesitate to give it to him.Kira had been the kind of girl who had always dreamt of her first time being with her soulmate. she had never thought of getting intima
"Seriously man, I really want her. and not just because I would like to bed her like you, but I feel a certain level of Attraction towards her. it's like she's my soulmate or something"" didn't I tell you to shut the fuck up? I said that if she wanted to come with you she could. it's her choice, not mine " Shane said in annoyance. he hated the fact that all his classes were with his brother. Sebastian had been bothering him all morning about Kira. his stupid brother thought that he had established a mate bond with the Luna, someone he had just met a day ago. Alphas were only able to transform into their wolves during every full moon, so even if they were to find their mates, they would only develop a bond with them when they were in their wolf forms. yet Sebastian already believed that Kira was his mate. Shane knew better than to trust that his brother had fallen in love with Kira. Sebastian who had bedded every female worker in the mad pact. whether it was them giving in willingly o
it had only been the first day of school for her and Kira already felt like giving up. when she crawled into Shane's bed that night, she couldn't help thinking if the effort she was putting into this was even worth it in the first place. she didn't belong here, but did she even have any hopes of one day leaving? the education system here was better than anything she had ever dreamt of. but the environment was cruel. Both teachers and students alike that bloodthirsty look in their eyes. she told herself not to give up because surely she would get used to it. things were going to get better. She was hoping.in class the next day, she was being taunted by Dylan. Ashton who was supposed to be her protector was fast asleep by this time. he hadn't been in his room this morning, so she reckon that he must have slept somewhere else last night. or maybe he hadn't slept at all last night, that would explain how sleepy he was this morning. Either way, his not being awake meant people like Dylan
" what the heck " Winter stares at the unconscious girl on the ground not knowing what to do. he doesn't even know why there was a girl in the bathroom either way. he had just assumed it was one of those occasions where some guys dressed up like women. some of them did that to lure out victims or to go on a killing spree, it wasn't exactly something he hadn't witnessed before. his brother Dylan was a good fan of that. because Dylan had feminine features he might decide to wear female clothes on some occasions to sneak into the nurse's office unnoticed. he was having an affair with the coach's wife. so winter had earlier assumed that this was one of Dylan's friends, but now that he took a closer look at the woman lying in the puddle of blood, he noticed that indeed she wasn't a man. how very peculiar and strange. why was there a young girl in a place like this? " Hey, are you dead?" Winter asked while poking Kira in the side. He had long forgotten the dead body of his roommate in favo
Dylan became angry when he saw Lisa laying unconscious on Winter's bed. the first thing that came to his head was what his brother might have done to her. everyone knew that Dylan was a very possessive alpha, when he took an interest in someone then he doesn't allow anyone to get close to that person. it made sense now why Kira hadn't been present in class today, it was because Winter had abused her. he was so angry at the moment that he felt he would transform into a wolf and tear his brother apart. " what the fuck did you do to her?!" " what could I possibly do to her?" Winter asked not seeming phased by his brother's anger " it wasn't easy bringing her over here without anyone else noticing. I'm really doing my best, but it seems no matter how hard I try her fever won't go down. at this point, she'll probably overheat"" what the hell do you mean by overheating? what happened to her? how did you even get your hands on her? where's Shane? " " how can I possibly know, " Winter said
" do you know where Dylan is?" " I seriously don't know man, now let go of me" Sebastian groaned in frustration as he pushed the other alpha away. The man stumbled to the floor but hurriedly gets to his feet and runs away. " this is pointless! Shane, you are completely useless! how could you have possibly left her alone? and now we don't even know where she is, there's a high chance that Dylan doesn't even have her" " I'm telling you for the hundredth time that it wasn't my fault. I told her to remain in the bathroom until I go fetch her, how would I know that she would disobey my order?" " disobey your order? where do you think we are? back in our pack? you are in no position to command anybody bastard! I told you countless times that you are the most careless person in the world. how is it so damn difficult for you to look after a girl? I already told you to give her to me and I will protect her better, but no, you wouldn't" " you are just sore because she chose me over you. I
Kira hadn't felt at ease ever since the incident 2 days ago. It was because she hadn't expected everyone to be paying too much attention to her all of a sudden. For example, Shane refused to leave her side most of the time and even when he did Ashton was always there, and then Sebastian change his entire timetable just so his classes would match with her own, and then there was Dylan who was always one step behind her. of course he never approached her directly, but wherever Kira was, Dylan would always be close by, he wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was stalking her. Never before had she being the center of attention, especially of such good-looking men, she doesn't know whether to feel flustered or creeped out.Kira wasn't feeling in a particularly good mood today, she wasn't looking forward to the first class of the day. if there was anything else she hated apart from self-defense classes, it was basketball. Kira doesn't even know why this was a class of its own, she w
" why are you naked?" Kira asked quickly covering her eyes with her hands. she could hear Ashton moving around the room but she didn't dare to open her eyes, just in case she might see something she wasn't supposed to. Never before had she seen a man naked before, she was still in shock" Is its abnormal to walk around naked in one's own apartment? Plus I hadn't thought that you would be back so early. don't worry, I'm wearing my clothes now "Was Ashton seriously asking her if it was abnormal to walk around naked? Of course, it was. she hasn't heard of anyone who had such habits before. Especially since he knew that he was living with a girl now. But then again she didn't really have the right to complain, since this was truly Ashton's apartment, she should be grateful he was letting her stay here for longer. Dylan had mentioned earlier that Kira was supposed to be staying with Winter, but after the whole bathroom incident, she didn't think she wanted to have anything to do with the
