Stella

I'm full from lunch and decide to not hang outside my room today. I was going to watch some Netflix in the first floor living area, but decided to go to bed.

It's not so bad here anymore. Sure, every now and then, it gets rough, but I guess it could be worse.

Sam has been giving me the silent treatment again. I'm not sure what its about this time. I get the feeling it has to do with Theo.

He needs to get over it. I'm doing the same exact reason he brought me here. The only person he needs to be mad at is hiself.

I slide my dress off over my head just as the door opens.

I really miss my privacy.

I fold my arms across my bare chest as a brunette man walks in. I recognize him from last night. It's Liam.

Liam is absolutely stunning, with dark hair and light green eyes. His hair is slightly wavy in a bush. It looks so soft and fluffy. He wears a black t-shirt with the intials of AH on the right breast. The shirt is tight against his solid body as the sleeves hugs his large arms. He also wears gray sweatpants where his large buldge catches my first attention.

He stops when his eyes land on my bare body. "Am I interrupting?" He folds his hands behind his back gently.

I shake my head before grabbing Sam's white t-shirt. "No, I was just about to take a nap. What can I do for you?" I slide the shirt over my head.

"Nothing. I just wanted to say that you were a good girl last night. With that, I'm rewarding you for your cooperation." His deep voice offers before stepping out the door halfway to grab something.

He walks back into the room holding a CD player and sets it on my night stand.

As he's plugging it in, a giggle escapes my mouth. "A CD player? I haven't seen one of those in over a decade!" I laugh.

He smiles at me and hands me a stack of music albums.

I observe them one by one. A smile grows on my face before my eyes meet his. "Britney Spears?"

He shrugs. "Wasn't sure what you liked."

"I have a vagina, obviously Britney was a good choice." I sarcastically mutter while flipping through the CD cases.

"Hey," Liam suddenly announces.

I glance up at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I wanted to warn you that one of the guys might try and sleep with you today." He rests his shoulder against the wall.

I slowly pause.

"He's a blonde Australian guy." Liam reports.

"Chris." I softly identify.

He nods his head. "You're not allowed to have sex until tomorrow though. It's policy for healing."

"I know." I softly admit while replaying last nights events in my head with Max. I remember Theo saying that. "Thanks for the warning."

He nods and makes his way to the door before stopping in his tracks. "You're the smallest girl we've had." He declares without turning to face me. "That makes the men feral, watch your back." He exits.

I stare at the closed door as my face flushes.

My initiation just unlocked a whole new hunting trip. And I'm the prey.

. . .

Theo

"I told you, it was an accident." I say while rolling my eyes.
