Roommates

ALORA

"What are you doing here!?" I gawked in shock and immediately make a turn after clearing up my throat. Did Noah purposely send me to the wrong room?

Covering my eyes with my hands, I walk over to take a look at the room number to make sure that I wasn't mistaken and I wasn't. The number of the dorm matches the description that Noah had given me so why is he here?

Wait, why am I covering my eyes? I'm supposed to be a boy which means that I'm not supposed to be embarrassed or shy in front of one. I have to act like one. Gosh! It's not even a full day and I'm already on track to blow up my cover.

Taking my hands off my eyes, I slowly lifted my eyes to stare at him. At first, I froze as I took in the sight of him. His hair was loosened and fell in wet curls to frame his face. Beads of sweat rolled down his chest to his torso and disappeared into the towel.

I swallowed when I suddenly found it hard to breathe. I could slowly feel my senses invading me. Why does my wolf have to feel attracted to him of all people? Does it mean that the pheromone depressant drugs aren't working and that I'll have to suffer through this issue as long as I'm close to him?

"I...um...I" I am a stuttering mess. He whispered and i bit down on my lower lip when I felt my womanhood throb in my pants involuntarily.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He yelled coldly and I almost flinched. "Do you have a death wish or do you want to start another fight and have us both expelled?"

Another fight? What does he mean by that? Did their fight last time cause any major trouble between them?

Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked back inside, leaving the door open for me to enter. I follow shortly, my eyes taking in the huge room space that is neatly decorated.

There are two doors directly opposite each other with one of them slightly open. My senses tell me that the closed one is mine and the open one is Kalix's room because I heard him rummaging through his things with a slight groan.

I am actually tempted to take a peek but forced myself to not to. It would be disrupting his privacy wouldn't it? When will I stop embarrassing myself like this? Gosh I'm so screwed!

He steps out later, fully dressed and cork his brows at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Do I have something interesting on my face? Why are you still staring at me?"

"And why are you here, in this room right now, Kalix?" I asked and blinked nervously when he glared at me. "I suppose that everyone in this school has a separate room assigned to them so why are you here in mine?"

"Yours? Are you stupid? Did you suddenly develop some kind of amnesia after your freak accident?" He asked and I bit down on my lower lip to stop myself from crashing out. He was pissing me off and I can't tell if he was doing it deliberately or not.

"The school punished us by assigning us one bedroom after our fight last time so how is it your room when we are both involved? it's our bedroom."

The school assigned us one bedroom as a punishment? How come all of this happened and Caden never thought to mention any of it to me? I've found out more things about him in one day than I've ever found out in my entire life and we are twins.

At this rate, how will I uncover the secret behind his death? Everyone could be lying and I won't even know about it. Just how much was he keeping from me? From everyone? Well, at least our sleeping space is different cause I'd kill myself if I had to share one with him in this current state.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Kalix asked, snapping me back from my reverie. "You seem to have so much you want to let out your chest since you got here so you better do it now."

I shook my head, squirming in fright. "I don't."

He strode towards me. "You've jumped on me twice today Caden and the only reason I'm being civil with you right now is because you just recovered from your accident and I don't want to start another fight that will land you in the hospital again."

"I don't want to start a fight either." I said in a whisper as I clutched on tightly to my suitcase.

He bridged the gap between us and I avert my gaze. "Good, and try your very best to keep it that way until the punishment is over and we are granted separate rooms again cause if you so much as try to upset me for the third time, I promise that I won't hold back. Stay away from me!" He spat angrily.

Without waiting for my response, he brushed past me and exited the room, slamming the door loudly behind him.

As soon as he left, I blew out a breath I didn't know I was holding. My heart thudded loudly in my chest in nanoseconds and I could feel the goosebumps break out of my skin.

I sank to the ground to catch my breath and still my raging hormones from flying around. This is probably the most dangerous thing that I have ever done or attempted in my entire life. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before I get caught.

Pulling myself up from the ground, I walk towards the door and unlock it. I slowly making my way inside and bolt it shut. The room is big and spacious filled with all of Caden's things.

This only meant that Kalix was telling the truth about sharing a room with Caden. Walking to his desk, I picked up a portrait picture of him and run my fingers over the framed glass. It's like staring at my own picture cause if anything, we look the same now.

Putting it down, I am about to undress when the announcement for lunch came on so I abandon it and proceed to fix myself before leaving the room.

After saying a silent prayer, I head outside but just before I could take a sharp corner, I bump into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're—" I pause when I come face to face with Jared, our pack Beta's son with his clique standing behind him. I've almost forgotten that he attends this school courtesy of my father.

And another tiny detail I forgot to mention is that Jared has never liked me or Caden for reasons I can't explain so he was definitely on my list of potential suspects and people to avoid.

"Well well well, look what the wolf dragged in." He teased in a deceptively mocking tone. "Welcome back Prince Caden, it's definitely good to see you again." He added with a smirk and walked away.

Great! Another enemy to look forward to as if I don't have too much going on for me right now.

"Bre

athe Alora." I whisper to myself. "This is only just the beginning."
