Kano's War

Chapter 18

Amory

Warmth spread through both the top and bottom half of my body. I slowly opened the lids of my eyes, adjusting to the small moon light in the room. I noticed that a warm arm was draped around my waist. Turning around to the warmth, I was met with a breath taking surprise.

Kano was in the bed with me. Shirtless. His mind blowing abs were out for the world to see.

My mind immediately began to rake through every memory that may have occurred last night, but when I noticed that I really didn't remember anything that happened last night, I panicked even more.

I propped up, the cool air of the room hitting my sides and back. I looked down to what I was wearing only to spot the dirty sports bra I've been wearing for the past few days and my naked stomach. When I reached down to feel around the pants and came in contact with some fabric, my panic began to settle.

It didn't look like we slept together.

"Go back to sleep Amory." Woah. Kano's morning voice was deep and scratchy. It made my wolf emit some strong emotions into me. His arm tightened around my waist and he pulled me closer to him.

I looked over to him, looking at the dark curly hair that covered his head and most of his eyes. I opened my mouth to finally say something, "Why am I here?" I asked.

"Would it kill you to let me get some actual sleep in." He groaned. Sensing his annoyance, I laid back down and made a bit of distance between us. My hands traveled to his, pulling them away from my waist and pushing his arm towards his side of the bed.

He popped one eye open, giving me a strange look. I shrugged, "You'd get some better sleep without your hands on me." Turning around, I pulled the pillow that my head was once laying on and placed it between us. "Here, I won't cross my line, so don't cross your's." I said tiredly.

"Are we really doing this? It's the middle of the night." He croaked. I shrugged again and turned around, laying my head on the sheets that smelt of him.

It was quiet for a few minutes, then I started drifting off to sleep again. My want of sweet dreams was halted when Kano decided to pull the pillow that was once dividing us and throw it off the bed. I could hear it all. The quick pick up of the pillow, the air giving a silent whistle as the pillow was thrown at the door. There was a loud bang, and I knew that the pillow must have been thrown ridiculously hard.

"I know you like the feeling of my skin." He whispered before trapping me by his arm again. Instead of pulling me towards him, he must've shuffled towards me since I could feel the warmth of his bare chest. "You told me that when you were drunk." He whispered. "Which, by the way, you won't be getting out of my sight anymore. Or drink for that matter."

"I wish I was out of your sight right now." I whispered to myself. I wasn't going to lie to myself. The feeling of his skin touching mine was amazing. I would be lying if I said it wasn't, but I knew that it was probably due to the mate pull.

Then his arm encased me from behind. My heart jumped in my chest and I felt my body involuntarily freeze. His warm breath hit the back of my neck. "I don't have a plan to attack the prince. I don't think it's a good idea. If anything, we would need more numbers." He whispered. I turned around slowly to hear him out.

"What?" I asked softly.

"We can't attack the prince. We'll get killed and it will do nothing to stop the rogue war. We'd need a lot of pack alliances to do that. And that will be almost impossible to do with Cyrene and Griffin dead. The packs will be against each other since they don't know who killed him. Blaming it on the prince will be unbelievable. And rogues won't be believable either since Cyrene and Griffin were known to be strong." He was actually making sense to me. Who would really believe the Prince killed the head of the academy?
