The lazy genius has 5 mates

chapter 36

Ok why is her ability to operate on herself gone? 

"come on Rox you have done this multiple times on others" She muttered to herself as her tweezers failed to grasp the bullet lodged in her upper left arm. 

The pain was intensifying  more she dug around the gaping wound. Couldn't the bullet have the gone through her flesh? That would have been easier. 

Roxanne was well aware her pain receptors were damaged somewhere in the process of growing up. She felt less pain than the average person, physically; emotionally was a whole different story. 

fuck this shit she had to call someone, but who? her brothers would freak the fuck out and will refuse to give her personal space if she tells them and so would her dad. The butler will snitch as she has got to know from experience. 

Her mates. But 

Which one? 

The triplets had decided to hide the whole dangerous shebang from their mates so this will come as surprise with an explosive cherry on top. She needed to call someone who wouldn't panic and would not ask too many questions. 

Hestia is completely ruled out. She cares too much to leave her alone. 

Rolkan would run out of his house and determine how to find the goons. 

Zolekh needs his beauty sleep and goes to bed at 10pm and it's currently 3am so she didnt wanna disturb. 

Abel...she doesn't know much but has a temper rivalling Rolkan. 

Holwen seems to be the only option left. Hopefully he'll be easier to reason with about the whole thing. 

Just as she was about to dial Holwen's number her phone screen turned black. Pressing the power button she cursed all the beings on the planet. Of all times, now her phone chooses to go out of charge. Fuck it, he's her mate she can show up to his house. 

Considering she was still in her car she was at Holwen's doorstep, more like mansion gate in 25 minutes. She lowered her window to ring the doorbell thingy. 

"Yes?"

"Roxanne Black" 

"Y-Yes ma'am, I will ring master Holwen" 

By the time she drove around the compound to arrive at the porch of his house; the sight that greeted her was the mahogany doors ajar with a haphazardly dressed and clearly concerned Holwen in between them. He instantly jogged down to her car when he saw it pull up. She lowered her window to ask him 

"where do I park?" 

"Just leave it here, no one's going to be bothered about it at this time" Holwen waved her question away 

Rox flushed at the reminder of time and contemplated reversing her car back out the way she entered. 

"Uh yea okay." She put the car in parking setting and stepped out. 

She had her black blazer on and the night time did not make it easy for Holwen to spot something wrong with Roxanne's arm until they were well inside the mansion sitting in his room. 

His room was a perfect representation of him; warm. The room was covered in shades of browns and beige with hints of emerald green lining the throw pillows on the couch kept beside the glass wall. Roxanne gravitated to the view of the garden offered by the glass wall. The red roses planted in the soil looked like they were glimmering in the moonlight spotted with small white flowers in the midst of them. It looked like a garden straight out of a fairytale. 

"Like it?" Holwen's breath brushed Roxanne's right ear making her heart hammer in her chest like a drum. 

"Yes" she muttered softly not wanting to break the spell the view had planted on her.
