Clyde almost cursed when Ice suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn’t feel his presence so he was startled. He can clearly see that his twin’s expression isn’t good.“It’s been a while, isn’t it?” Ice began.He narrowed his eyes and it took him a moment to realize this must be about Sab.“What now?”“You haven’t changed the way you interact with her. In fact, I would say you’ve gotten a bit closer in the last few months. What’s that about? You’ve forgotten what I’ve said last time? It’s clear to me you haven’t made a decision yet and you thought that’s fine? You’re misleading not just her, but everyone else. Don’t think people are blind, Clyde.”He slowly took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.“And don’t give me that shit about how she’s not noticing anything. No, Clyde. She chose to do that because of what happened in the past. You can bet your ass if you confess to her now, she wouldn’t believe it and you would have a hard time convincing her that you do like her. So, stop. I

When the gifts are ready, he asked her if she wants to go near the lake to unwind. It was a weekend and they both needed to relax, is what he said to convince her. Well, she liked going there so she agreed. Clyde grinned as it’s a rare opportunity for them to be alone. He quickly went to get a basket of food from the pack house kitchen, a picnic mat and the gifts. Alice saw him and he evaded her questioning gaze quite awkwardly. He didn’t stop to be interrogated. He’ll deal with it when he gets back later.Sab felt a little conflicted. It’s a bit uncomfortable. Since it’s just the two of them, it would seem like a date. She kept reminding herself that they’re just friends now. She shouldn’t dare to assume anything at this point.Clyde actually felt nervous. He was originally excited and didn’t think he would feel this way. Sab was surprised to see him with all those things.“What did you bring?” They didn’t exactly talk about it and she didn’t think he would bring a lot. She figured t

Before the date of the pack visit, Ice has returned. He could already tell something happened between them. It’s just a hint of awkwardness but he managed to pick it up just fine. He knew the two of them well enough to distinguish their odd behavior.Ice has no wolf, therefore no mate. He never joined these pack visits, but he reminded Clyde again. He hasn’t asked yet what happened while he was gone, so what he said was pretty much a general warning for his brother; he reminded him not to overdo anything.Clyde is feeling pressed for time. He often glances at Sab, which became pretty obvious to the others. He would guard her this time. He had to make sure no one would claim her. He had to do something before it’s too late.Sab could feel their gazes on her, but one seemed to be fixed. She would glance at him a few times and catch his gaze, but why is it that he doesn’t look away? She’s the one who feels embarrassed. She tried not to be conscious of his stare, but it was seriously diff

After a while, the youngsters dispersed and formed smaller teams. They’re probably going to proceed with individual training. It’s almost similar to how they do it in Snow Mountain. The two of them chatted about it, the only topic they can talk about without feeling awkward.The man from earlier approached them and they introduced themselves. Clyde did most of the talking and Sab listened to their exchange. It was interesting. She watched some of the routines they’re doing and noted some unusual execution.She tried to ignore how he’s still holding her hand. Any time it would slacken and she’s thinking of gently pulling it away, he would grasp it tighter. She gave up after a while but she didn’t dare ask what he meant by it. Why would he hold her hand and keep holding onto it? It wouldn’t have mattered if he briefly held her to assist her or something, but no… they’ve been holding hands for half an hour already. Th

Clyde was brainstorming what to do with her. His brother isn’t helping. He figured his twin already know what happened, maybe their parents as well. The gossip is there and when he tried to shut it, he merely got teased. Are they not afraid of him anymore? He can’t blame them, though. It was a refreshing piece of gossip and many began rooting for them. A lot of people like Sab. Unfortunately, that past incident resurfaced again and some are saying she planned it all. He was infuriated when he heard that freaking theory. How could they still make horrible stories about it? He wasn’t pleased and he made it known. One night, while having dinner with his family, his parents deliberately asked about it. “What’s going on with you and Sab? I keep hearing people talking about the two of you.” Alice asked her son and pinning a curious stare on him. Conrad also looked at him and waited for his answer. Ice was there but his expression was unreadable. He spoke with Sab a couple of days ago a
