VALENCIA’S POV
It was warm and cozy.
The mattress I was sleeping in was too comfortable even though it was a little hard and had so bumps, it was too comfortable.
’I know, right? Even with the mattress’s hands wrapped around us, with it practically squeezing us, it was too comforting,’ Aurora said, and I agreed with her before snuggling my face further into the warmth.
The scent was a bonus along with -
Wait. Did she say hands wrapped around us?
I opened my eyes imdiately, my eyes widening when I realized I was probably lying on top of soone.
What the hell? Who was it? Aiden?
I wondered as I struggled to sit, but the familiar intoxicating scent made realize this wasn’t Aiden I was lying to, but rather a very mischievous beta who always finds his way around .
"Yo, man, what the hell?" I asked before I practically pushed him out of the bed, making him fall to the ground.
And from the way his eyes flew wide as soon as he fell, I am sure he didn’t expect to do it.
Well, Valencia was the na of an unpredictable queen.
"Seriously?" He looked at , and I shrugged.
I looked around myself and noticed I was in so kind of hospital room once again.
For the moon goddess’s sake, why do I keep ending up in hospital? This was twice in 24 hours already. I don’t earn that handsoly either.
"After everything I did for you?" Shadow asked , and I looked at him, warily.
He did for ? What did he do for ? I furrowed my brows.
"You don’t rember?" He asked , his eyes clearly showing his disbelief.
I looked at him, unsure. Did sothing important really happen? Then again, if I ended up in the hospital room, it might be important.
Did any of us get hurt?
’Seriously, Valencia. Act more dumb. Why would you end up here if he got hurt? It was obviously you,’ Aurora said, and I scowled.
I just woke up. Why was she roasting the first thing?
With a pout, I looked back at Shadow.
"Did I get hurt?" I asked hopefully, and I saw him frustratingly raking his hands, making smile sheepishly.
"Hehe," I giggled, not even knowing why I even found the situation funny.
He paused and looked at before shaking his head and standing.
"So you find this funny?" He asked and I bit the inside of my cheeks.
"You just fainted," Shadow said and I humd.
"Wait. Aiden was taking to the street fighting club. Don’t tell I fainted there. Oh my, my reputation! Everything got ruined. How will I face myself in the mirror anymore?" I murmured before placing around helplessly.
I have never lost a match to a human. It was true that I wasn’t as powerful as an alpha, but I was a beta’s daughter and after months of living like this while fighting with the rogues, I had learned a few tricks and fighting.
Thus losing a match against a human was like a slap to all my hard work.
Wait. Was that person even a human to begin with? What if that person was a hidden supernatural acting like a human? That could be the case too.
I nodded at myself before looking at the man in front of who was looking at with an amused expression.
"What?" I asked, defensively.
"Are you done talking to yourself? And no, you didn’t lose a match against a human. In fact, you didn’t even reach the ring in the first place," Shadow said before he sat on the bed, making raise my brows.
"By the way, don’t you think you cheat when you fight against humans?" He asked as he pulled out his phone before checking so ssages from his people randomly.
"Well, I don’t have a wolf. Doesn’t that make more human than a werewolf?" I asked in my defense and he humd.
Seeing him getting lost in his work, I crawled towards him slowly, hoping to see what he was reading.
"Sir, it’s important. Call -" I could not read the remaining part as Shadow suddenly held my hand and twisted in a way that I fell on his lap with my face in his lap, facing him.
"Don’t you know it’s bad manners to peek into soone’s phone?" He asked, and I scowled.
Look at him talking about decency when I am sure he would’ve done the sa if it was talking to soone.
This reminds . Where is my backpack in the first place?
I looked around before finally spotting it. And did I ntion my head was still in his lap?
"Stop moving for heaven’s sake," Shadow suddenly gritted his teeth, and I furrowed my brows.
"Geez, what got you-" I turned my head to angle my body in a way that I would be able to sit properly.
However, as soon as I turned, the thing that ca into my view made my cheeks turn completely red and heat crept to my neck before I hurriedly tried to sit, almost falling from the bed in the process if not for Shadow who held my hand and saved .
’I am sure he stocks a big D in those pants,’ I rembered Aurora’s words, and seeing the big tent that ford in his pants, I don’t doubt those words anymore.
Wait. Why was I thinking about his d*ck in the first place?!
"I... I am sorry," I looked at him flabbergasted and he cleared his throat.
"Well, it’s a natural reaction to soone rubbing there. You don’t need to be ashad of that," I said when he placed the pillow on his lap.
He paused, his dramatic pause making my heart skip a beat.
"Shy? Do you think I am hiding it because I am shy?" Shadow asked before he removed the pillow and stood straight.
He walked closer to , his every step making my heart thump loudly and I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Shadow, w-what are you doing?" I asked, perplexed.
And I didn’t even know why the heck was my eyes darting to his forbidden regions against and against.
"What do you think I am doing here, Valencia? I am showing you that I am not shy about it and neither am I embarrassed. Do you know why I hid it? Because I was being decent and respecting you as a girl. Because I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable. But it looks like we got it all twisted, yeah?" Shadow asked before he leaned towards , caging between his hands.
I looked into his hazel eyes with wide eyes of my own.
I was sure he was able to hear my fast-beating heart too, and I swear it was my embarrassnt at its peak.
’Well, if he is so confident about it, why don’t you ask him to show us his size? Who is he to decide all these things by himself? Shouldn’t the decision be left to the other person?’ Aurora asked, and I nodded at her suggestion.
She was right in a way. Why should he be the one deciding who should be embarrassed here?
With a newfound confidence, I looked into his eyes.
"If you are so confident -" I paused.
The words that Aurora said just now finally registered in my mind, and I felt even shyer than before, before glaring at Aurora who looked like she was enjoying my miseries a bit too much.
’Aurora, I swear one day I am going to beat you to a pulp,’ I threatened my so-called fake wolf, who grinned, glaring her tongue at , making even angrier.
"If I am confident then what?" Shadow asked , catching my attention again, I was about to say that it was nothing when he suddenly leaned and placed his nose in the crook of my neck.
"Tell , Valencia. What goes inside that mischievous head of yours?" He asked, running his nose on my neck, inhaling deeply, making my heart go wild and my fingers tremble at how close we were.
I was about to reply to him when I heard the sound of a notification going off, and I quickly pushed him away before practically dashing toward my bag.
I pulled out the phone to see if it was an important ssage, but seeing the ssage from the private number, I looked at Shadow, who was looking at his phone again.
Thank God he wasn’t looking here.
I quickly opened the ssage and my pupils dilated when I read what was written.
"Enjoying your ti with the beta of the pack, my love? Don’t you think it’s wrong? Here, flowers for you," The ssage said, and the attached image was a large bouquet of red roses with my na at the bottom of it.
My fingers nearly trembled at the sight.
"Is everything okay?" Shadow walked to , and I hurriedly closed the phone before stuffing it in my bag.
"Y-yeah, everything is fine. Why wouldn’t it be fine?" I asked, and he looked at intensely.
"Just asking. You look pale," He said with a smirk that made feel he knew sothing was wrong, and I didn’t like how he always acted like he knew everything about .
