Come Share The Room

Stephanie POV

What the hell? How could he bluntly tell me that? Was he trying to embarrass me?

“ Don't you dare repeat that!" I snapped at him.

With a shrug while putting on a faint smile, he simply replied, "Fine! I'm not going to force you to accept our mating bond but at least survive. Inviting you into my camp isn't because I wanted anything to do with you again.”

“ You-!" I stuttered at his pride.

Waving his hand with a sigh, he continued," Last night was out of compulsion. I won't force myself on any woman willingly. I can have as many females I want, as long as I want them..."

His pride irritated me, I swear!

" Such arrogance for someone that was begging me!” I muttered under my breath. But then I couldn't help but agree with his arrogance.

He was damn right.

One look at him would make any woman throw herself at him. His long white hair was braided into three long strands making his chisel face stand out aside from his luscious lips.

He was practically a devilish beauty to behold, so he was damn right. But I hate when he talks about having other women.

"Shouldn't he when you are proving stubborn?" My wolf Laila asked me.

She has been silent because I had refused to tell the mate who rejected us. She was also happy when we found another mate but I wasn't. I didn't want any man in my life now.

"You are only saying that because all you think of is the mating bond," I said to her in anger.

" That's because the mating bond completes us but you are just something else even when I know you can't resist him too!" she hissed.

I ignored her and focused on Davies who was still talking.

" Anyways, I can still let you do as you wish. Maybe you would like to share the tent with two men rather than one?" He asked me bluntly.

I didn't want to spend the night with any of them. I want to be on my own. I don't trust him…

I don't trust myself too.

"I don't need to stay in the tent. I will sleep outside," I replied.

I wouldn't say I wasn't scared to be in the midst of three large fierce looking men. I had always avoided men all my life because I knew that I wasn't a warrior and didn't have strength to fight men if they planned to hurt me. But now I was in the middle of nowhere with three strange men who aren't even werewolves.

"The temperature is dropping and you might freeze to death before morning," he said with concern.

I looked at him with pride.

" You must have forgotten what I am. I'm a werewolf and I have my wolf's fur to protect me from the cold, " I boasted.

" But it would be really nice to lie in the warm embrace of our mate," my wolf said to me and I felt like hitting her but it wasn't possible.

How could she even think of sleeping in the arms of a stranger, mate or no mate?

"I'm not forcing you to sleep with me but none can predict the Seekers. I might have distracted some but others might be coming our way. What joy do you think they would have if they found a female werewolf outside in the cold of the night?" He asked as he stood up.

What he said struck me like lightning and I stood there dead afraid. If I was captured by hunters, I was a dead meat.

"You can suit yourself," Davies said and walked into the tent.

I didn't know why I wasn't thinking about the Seekers. My pride couldn't let me run after Davies. I stood there looking around as if I was looking for a ghost. Then I saw Kilan standing and I shrinked in fear.

"Don't be scared, it's just me," he said with a cold look.

I wondered if those guys ever smiled in their life. They look like a cold rock beaten by rain.

"You should be the one I should fear the most," I murmured.

I don't know if he heard me but there was no reaction coming from him. I looked at him and saw he was also looking at me. With a deep breath I made a silent conclusion. At least Davies was my mate and if he does anything to me, I can still take it.

"I need to risk it," I said before entering the tent that Davies entered.

My eyes widened as I entered the tent. I wasn't expecting it to be luxurious. It even had a bed in it. I wondered how they travelled carrying all the weight.

“They are big creatures and have the strength of ten Alpha wolves," my wolf told me and I wondered if that's something to be proud of.

"Just for tonight," I said to him.

Davies's eyes were closed but he adjusted so that I was going to sleep but I didn't want to sleep beside him.

"I'm not going to sleep on the same bed with you," I said with a frown.

Davies didn't argue with me. It was as if he was expecting me to say that. He threw a large quilt at my feet without saying a word.

I gritted my teeth at him. In movies, weren't the men supposed to sleep on the floor while the ladies take the bed? It seems the movies were all lies and the reality was just the opposite.

Davies was not in any way a gentle man. He wanted me to sleep on the floor. Well, I had no choice. I laid the quilt down and sat down on it. Then I noticed that the room was so warm. I wondered what was warming it up.

Looking around the room, I saw something standing like an orb rolling at a corner and the heat was coming from it. Then I remembered that Lycans couldn't resist the cold. Even with how large they are, they hate the cold.

I looked at him and chuckled. A man has to have a weakness.

"Don't be proud, there are some temperatures even a werewolf can't endure," Davies said.

He must have noticed that I was making a mockery of him.

"I know but at least we still have a cold tolerance more than your kind. You can't stand the cold," I said, not hiding my mockery.

At least I had something to bring down his pride."Not that we can't tolerate it, we just don't like the cold," he snapped.

I was sure he was displeased but I never cared. He had made me sleep on the floor as a woman while he enjoyed the big bed.

"It's the same thing, Lycan," I said to him.

Davies didn't say anything and I also was silent. Soon I started thinking about my new mate who happened to be a Lycan. Does the moon goddess hate me that much?

I don't even know the ways of a Lycan. I don't know how they live and living with them might be so difficult. Not even one that has a home but one who's wandering all around the woods, running from Seekers.

Seekers would have never dared to go to his kingdom because they knew that they would be outnumbered but him being here could get him easily killed. It would be dangerous for me if I accept that kind of man as a mate.

With that in mind, I made my decision.
