Kyle's POV"Maybe Kyle can't get turned on?!"Kyle can't get turned on?!'Me? I can't be turned on?!?!'I couldn't believe my ears. What the hell was Sheri talking about?Enzo raised his eyebrows at me with a look of disbelief. He frowned after a moment and asked, "You... can't?""You believe that?!" I shot back, completely embarrassed.As if that wasn't the worst, half of the pack in the training grounds gave me weird and sympathetic looks!I quickly walked up to Sheri and rubbed my temples exasperatedly."What the hell are you saying? Oh my gosh..."Sheri blinked at me, then stuck out her tongue and said, "Was I wrong?""Of course!" I retorted without much thought.Sheri raised her brows. "Really?""Yes!" I denied once more."Fine!" Sheri said, walking closer to me. "I’ll cut you a slack then! Kiss me. Now."The light scent of gardenia wafted into my nose. The unique scent that Sheri exuded called to me.I didn't like her, but that didn't mean her scent didn't have any effect on me.
Sheri stood rooted to the spot. She kept staring at Kyle’s back as though she couldn't believe that he had left her like that.Kyle had always been gentle and polite to her. Sheri thought their feelings were real. Though they just needed some time to accept the mate bond.But just now... Her mate had pushed her away in front of everyone on the training ground and ran away.The entire training ground was buzzing, chatting about what had just happened. Sheri's eyes were already redrimmed.I looked at Enzo with questions in my eyes.Enzo shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.I walked over to Sheri's side and asked tentatively, "Are... Are you okay?"Sheri grabbed a lock of her hair, trying to blink back her tears as she shrugged, flashing me a smile."I'm fine. Really."Lilla had an awkward look on her face. "Kyle isn't usually like this. Maybe he has something urgent to take care of."It was obviously an excuse.Sheri scoffed. "I think he just can't get turned on by anyone!"She b
The man in the white shirt pressed the girl he against the wall, holding her chin up with one hand as he kept kissing her.He was obviously the bartender at the bar just now, and the girl...I gasped out her name in shock, "Lilla?!"Lilla snapped open her eyes. She panicked when she caught sight of me and pushed the man away."Andrea..."I was about to speak when Sheri started to cough and retch. I ignored Lilla for the moment and carried Sheri to the restroom.As soon as we got there, Sheri lunged for the toilet and threw up everything.After a few minutes, she turned and leaned against the cool marble toilet, gasping for air with her eyes closed.I helped her up from the floor and briefly helped her to clean up. We then exited the restroom together.Lilla was leaning against the wall in the hallway when I came out. She immediately straightened up when she saw me, biting her lips and averting her eyes as though she had done something wrong.I sighed."Come on, let's get Sheri back ho
Kyle looked ill and worn out and he was still dressed in yesterday's clothes. He was covered in someone else's scent.Lilla was in a hurry to get to school, so she didn't notice anything unusual about him. She simply pushed him aside and ran out."She was going to be late," I explained to Kyle when I saw a somewhat dazed expression on his face.Kyle forced a smile to me and said, "It's okay. She does this every day."I raised my eyebrows, glancing at the guest bedroom before saying, "Sheri's still here. She was drunk yesterday, so we both slept over."Kyle froze when I mentioned Sheri. After a short moment of silence, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is she okay?"I thought about how Sheri was last night and sighed."Kyle, I know you didn't want to hurt Sheri. No matter how tough she appears on the outside, she's not doing well now. In fact, she's traumatized."Kyle looked frustrated at my words, raking a hand through his hairs.I was suddenly stunned at what I saw.The moment Kyle raise
I saw Sheri's head jerk up and she froze at the big truck coming at her."Sheri! Get out of the way!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I ran towards her.Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past me. Before I realized what had happened, the truck had whizzed past us, puffing out a cloud of smoke.The wind quickly blew the thick exhaust away. I felt my heart jump to my throat and slowly return to its rightful place when my vision finally cleared.Across the road, a man was holding Sheri safely in his arms.The man was tall and muscular with dark brown hair and amber eyes and had the appearance of a tough and handsome soldier.He lowered his head, giving Sheri a light smile, then raised his eyebrows. "Be careful, little one."Sheri was still in shock. Her face was pale as she clutched the man's black t-shirt tightly.The two are drastically different in their sizes, and Sheri looked like a terrified little animal in his arms.Honestly, they looked cute together.I ran over to t
Sheri stared at Seth's as he left.Kyle frowned, then after a short pause, he sighed and said calmly to Sheri, "He's dangerous. You should stay away from him."Sheri snapped out of her daze and sneered. "He just saved my life! How could you say that?""You don't understand. He's-""The person I don't understand is you! I thought we were mates. I thought you'd fall for me after everything we have been through but turns out it’s just my own wishful thinking!"Maybe because I’m only a cheap Rogue. Then I get it. You don’t want a Rogue as your mate. But in that case, you have to stay out of my business. My safety doesn't concern you either!"How dare you speak ill about the man who saved my life! It’s low, even for you!"Sheri was about to leave but Kyle stopped her by her arms."Sheri!" Kyle yelled and blurted out, "It’s nothing you said. It’s not because that you’re a Rogue. It's just... I'm gay, okay?"Sheri froze in place, stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief after a moment. "What?
"Why are you here?" Kyle asked sharply as he stood up.Seth walked over and said, "I didn't think you'd open the door for me, so I climbed over the wall and took a shortcut."Kyle narrowed his eyes at Kyle's reply."Though it seems like a bad time. I heard some very unpleasant comments about me," Seth said with a cold smile."If you didn't like what you heard, get out." Kyle shot back."Get out? Where to?" Seth approached Kyle, reaching out to grab his shoulder to stop him in place. Then, his fingers brushed through the marks on Kyle’s wrist, ignoring my presence as he said, "Do you want me to disappear and make way for that woman?""I already told you last night. Nothing happened between us!"Last night?I was stunned. So, Kyle had been out the whole night because he had been with Seth?And those marks on his body were also...?"Is that so? Then why was she at your house today?" Seth tightened his grip on Kyle. "It's because you couldn't resist her, right? Because she's your mate!""
Kyle's POVWhile I was fighting Seth, there was suddenly a knock on the door.I already knew before Andrea told me that it was Enzo. Of course I did. I've been with my Alpha for twenty years and I could even recognize his footsteps.I panicked, dragging Seth towards the balcony to kick him out of my house.I wasn't mentally prepared to let Enzo know everything.I couldn't say that I didn't envy Enzo for being able to introduce Andrea as his mate to everyone proudly and that they were going to be together forever.Though in fact, I knew I would find my life partner. Raymond had walked away so easily from me, as though he had no obligation towards our relationship.Seth had a childish obsession with me. Once he got it out of his system, we would go our separate ways one day.Although Enzo was my friend, he was first and foremost my Alpha.Seth had already said so many shameful things in front of Andrea. I wasn't sure what nonsense he would say in front of Enzo to further embarrass me.H
