Episode 17

...Adriel:...

I see him wake up somewhat bewildered; last night he was asleep, and that's why I couldn't see his beautiful eyes, and now that I do, they seem like a deep ocean into which I would undoubtedly love to sink.

I invite him to breakfast, and he shyly accepts. I watch him blush, and my heart races wildly.

On the way to the dining room, everything was silent. I really expected a different reaction from him; I don't know, most of the destined mates react instinctively when they meet, and he didn’t.

I decide not to pay attention to that. We arrive at the dining room, and I discover that everything I ordered is actually his favorite food as well, which makes me even happier. But when he opens the seat to his right, he seems somewhat puzzled, and that confuses me because by now, he should have understood that he is my moon, at least.

Link:

Dark: brother, he doesn’t recognize us as his mates.

Adriel: what do you mean?

Dark: he has already found his mate.

Adriel: what do you mean, that he’s not ours?

Dark: you are a hybrid, and through the energy he radiates, you recognize him as your soulmate; I want him as well. But he has already found his mate, even though he has responded to our compliments, and his energy is too similar to yours.

Adriel: you feel it too, right? He is a hybrid just like me.

Dark: yes, and he also feels your energy, which is similar to his, but I think he still doesn’t know what it means. I’m trying to call his wolf, but it doesn’t respond; I think he is hurting. I feel he is wounded; we need to know what happened.

I close the link with my wolf and try to put on my best face, even though inside I feel like I might explode. How is it possible that my destined one already has someone else? Although there is no trace of another wolf in his body apart from his family's, it means that idiot hasn’t even touched him to give him a hug, and that makes me happy.

After my servant's blunder, I ask him to sit beside me; I want to know more about him and why he is like this.

Adriel: So tell me, little Kevin, what did you do, or what were you running from that made you go out in the middle of the night, cross the border, and get chased by a group of vampires?

I see doubt in his eyes. I know it’s not easy to confess to someone you just met, so I smile warmly at him so he can see that he can trust me.

He sighs and then begins his tale.

Kevin: What happens is that...

After listening to the whole story, I didn’t know what to feel or say; I was furious. I longed for his love, and he was suffering for someone else. On top of that, he was coming into this; my mind was a chaos. I wanted to destroy everything in front of me, and Dark was about to take control over me. Suddenly, all thoughts of hatred and destruction were interrupted by him.

He was crying, and it broke my heart to see him like that. He was my mate, and he was suffering. I had to do something, but what?

Link:

Dark: He is hurting; we can’t leave him like this. That idiot has more advantage than us because they feel their bond, and he could do something to make him forgive him, and we’d lose him.

Adriel: No, I refuse; he is not leaving our side. We won’t let him go. I know he is not aware of our bond, but we are.

Dark: Then we must not lose him.

Adriel: No, my friend, we won’t do that.

...****************...

...Kevin:...

After telling him what happened, I knew he was processing all the information; however, he looked upset. Who wouldn’t be?

Kevin: Just don’t tell my brother, please.

He looked at me, bewildered, and asked.

Adriel: Why wouldn’t I? You are the little brother of my best friend. The least I should do is tell him so he can strip him of his position and kick him out of the pack.

Kevin: NO.

He looked even more bewildered.

Kevin: Please don’t, don’t misunderstand me; it’s just that the three of them make a good team, and I don’t want a fight over this to ruin that. Besides, she is also my cousin, and I don’t want to get her in trouble.

Adriel: But you’re like a little brother to me; I should protect you.

Ouch, that hurt. A LITTLE BROTHER. That’s how he saw me.

Adriel: Besides, you are very beautiful, and seeing you cry breaks my heart.

He took a pause, as if he were contemplating what he should do, and then said.

Adriel: why don't we go to the bedroom so you can shower and put on something better, okay?

Kevin: but I don't have any clothes, I don't know where I left my backpack.

Adriel: I'll lend you something of mine, okay?

Kevin: okay, thanks, but you won't tell my brother, alright?

He simply nodded.

Kevin: you promise?

He let out a heavy sigh and then nodded. I got up from the chair, feeling very happy, and out of pure instinct, I gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him. Feeling his warmth reassured me, and I couldn't resist it; I buried my nose in his chest, inhaling that scent, that incredible and exciting scent that, if I didn't already know my mate, I would think was him.

His embrace was returned, and for nearly a minute, I lost myself in his warmth, only feeling his breath and the steady beat of his heart, which calmed me.

Adriel: come on, little one, so you can shower. Don't get me wrong; you smell amazing, but last night you fought with vampires, and I could only clean the parts of your body that I didn’t feel were too inappropriate, and I put you in pajamas. So you must be dirty and have blood stuck on you from them, so let's go.

As he said that, I remembered I was wearing his pajamas and hadn't thought about how they came to be on my body. Hearing him say that he put them on me made all the color rise to my face; he had seen me naked, and it's not that I have issues with my body, but it makes me a little shy.

When I lifted my gaze, he looked just as flustered, so with a bit of embarrassment, I nodded and he guided me back to the room, handing me a towel and some clothes before he stepped out.
