Reyne got down of the cab across the big, eye dropping school, with an open mouth. Her lashes never blinked right after exiting the vehicle. She paid the driver, failing to notice his thank you, and proceeded toward the big gate that was closed.
26"Jeez..." Breathing a heave, Zander descended the stairs of the school building and rushed across the garden.He stopped at the closed gate and maniacally began looking here and there. His eyes were wide open, hands fisted and face flushed with shock and disappointment as he frantically roamed his pupils in the empty big garden."I swear had smelled her here. Where would she go so quickly?" He spoke to himself such that the watchman sitting in his cabinet peeked out of the big rectangular window in daze.He was not petrified to see Zander but a bit taken aback. The rapid batting of his lashes conveyed there was another story to his expressions, and earlier than Zander saw him, he went back to his work without interfering in the bully's life.'I smelled her too, but unfortunately, her scent has faded away. Like she ran away...'Zack sighed guessing about th
27"Bullshit! I hate that dunderhead teacher. Damned old freaking bastard!"Nails biting into his own palms, Zander entered through the main door over his parents while they were having food, cursing and gritting his jaw. It seemed they had just begun as the table was still untouched and the plates before the three members were shining clean.They had their eyes watching Zander from head to toe not after looking at the clock with a big pendulum swinging effortlessly. One. Two. Three. And there it rang after both the hands pointed at the last number on the clock, twelve."Finally, your brat is here. Honey, I am not going to say anything so better you ask him where was he all this while and why is he late?""Mummy, Zany came home."Mrs. Brown heaved a rough breath as her fingers clenched and released, then again clenched and released as she sat
28Zander's POVI stormed inside my room and slammed shut the door. Dad and his words, Ughhh! I don't know what is wrong with all of them.It was just mom and my friends earlier, and now dad too. Why do they want to poke their noses in my business?What wrong am I doing to get this kind of treatment from them?Thinking about them just gave me a headache. Which is why I strode to the washroom and entered inside. Shedding all the clothes and standing under the shower, I turned the knob of it on. Light drizzle, then heavy beating droplets fell on my skin post I increased its supply.The water was extremely cold, but as it touched my skin, warmth spread all over my body. All because I was mad. Mad at what happened in the school. In that stupid nosy mate-e-ology class.*flashback*"You did not talk
29 In the morning, Reyne awoke stretching her arms. Yawning a breath with the sundial rays of the sun falling inside, she blinked her eyes. The other day was cool. Honestly. She was not expecting to spend such a good period with Brandon, exploring the lovely lands of this pack house. They saw the museum of the pack storing all the weapons and artifacts of the old alphas of this pack, their families, mates and enemies whom they fought and vanquished. He told her about Alpha Shine I that placed the base of this pack and brought it to life, and on the map. Besides that, she will have to agree he is the nicest guy she met in her life. Although she encountered several official males' sons, Brandon stood out as an exception. He was really nice. A guy with a golden heart. She loved him. Oh no no, not in the sense as a mate but as a friend. And that is because Brandon and s
30Back home,Reyne's POV"Ouch!" Hiss of pain erupted from my mouth post I hit my head on the closed door of my room.Goddammit, this is the fifth time I have hurt myself. But i can't help it. Ever since I have returned from the supermarket, I am thinking about him. That hot guy. Yeah, the same hot guy who is my mate.'Someone was calling him a drunkard until this morning?'My eyebrows elevated in awkward silence as Meg taunted me.I mean, yeah, I did call him a drunkard but that was because I did not know about him. I barely saw his face then. And in the way I found, no female would desire to see her mate in that state.However, today. Oh my, today he looked gorgeous. G. O. R. G. E. O. U. S. Gorgeous!I can't help but spell it in his memory. Those steely dark eyes, that twisting and biting lip, ch
31Zander retired to his room. He removed the thick jacket and tee from his torso and tossed it on the chair by the side of the study table. He sunk in the soft plush mattress of his bed and grinned as the stills from the lunch he had five minutes ago crept in his head.Wow. That was great. He could not recognize having such a gladsome lunch in a while. If not the tasty curry rice Mrs. Brown prepared just for him then Milan and her charm made the moment worth happiness.She danced on her all time favorite poem, 'Old Macdonald had a farm' as she introduced her new toy to everyone. She seemed happier than all the previous times when Zander got her a toy. She hugged it to herself and even offered 'the little white puppy' as known by the name 'Pappy' some of her food.And now post that amazing lunch, he rested his back against the feathery pillow and smiled. The burns on his skin hurt a little,
32"Shit!!!" an eye peeked out of the covered blanket and gazed at the brightly illuminating lamp kept by the side of the bed."Oh freak!" It went back behind the quilt and then peeked out again. "Ohhh, he was so handsome! I think I am going to fall.... In the ocean of his deep love. Hehe."It went back behind the blanket again and shut tight. Reyne acted maniacally. Yeah, she did. The undesirable meet with her mate was baffling but tempting. She cannot stop thinking about him all the while to her house and now when she was on the bed, trying to sleep, his memories tickled the strands of her innocent heart."I can't stop thinking about him. I just love his eyes. Ayi, how the hell am I soo fucking lucky to have such a charming hot guy for me as a mate? Ayiiii, I am soo lucky." She pressed a handful of blanket against her mouth and quivered in the bed, crazily.The bits of her meet from the supe
33"Are you sure on dating her?""Yeah, but why do you ask that?""No, I mean, I saw her with Nick last night in the club. And if she is dating you, she should not be roaming around with other guys except for you."Zander's mouth curved into an amused grin while he turned his head to take in the view of his three days old girlfriend, Claire, helping Wendy with the carton of beer cans. They planned for a pre-Christmas party and a small get together with their old friends who passed out from the school.It was them who did not get promoted but the others did. The Wild Wolves missed them, therefore, they ended up deciding for a party that would bring them together for a while."Don't tell me you fell for her hots!" Zander cackered hearing to Ryley's unimpressive exclamation.He was least happy on seeing his friend date someone like Claire. She was splendi
