Unveiling Secrets

Chapter Twenty-One

Roman's POV

Day : One (Next day after arrival)

Activity : Familiarity

I woke up with a groan, sitting up on the single bed and look around. Nate smiles at me and shows me the clock. I sigh as I get off the bed and put on my running shoes that Nate gives me. I put on a T-shirt since I didn't sleep with anything on other than my shorts. Once I'm done, we walk out of the tent silently to not wake our roommates.

We start a light jog the moment we exit the room. We run towards the open field which is to be used for sports in coming days. I got used to to running each morning with my Ken back at home, so I asked Nate to be going running with me here. We are later on joined by Victor and two girls that I don't know of yet. We ran back and forth around the field for sometime until the sun starts rising.

"I didn't expect you to be that good at running." Victor pants when we stop to catch our breath. Him and I were running side by side and when he wanted to pass me by, the competitor in me came out and I ended up leaving him behind to catch up. It's not like I put much effort in it, he's no match.

"Hehe...I so good at it. My Ken go running with me in the morning."

"I go running with Shaun in the morning too but I'm not that good as you." He groans, sitting down and I sit beside him.

"Shaun, mate?" I ask and he nods with a smile. "How old is you?"

"I'm 20 years old. Me and Shaun mated when I was 16 years old." Victor replies and my stunned look makes him laugh. "It wasn't that bad you know. We were from the same pack so staying away from each other was a bit harder. Me and Shaun have a one year difference, I guess the teen hormones got to us pretty bad. So when the elders weren't paying much attention on us, we mated." He shrugs and I chuckle.

"That's nice." I tell him honestly. I can't wait to get mated to my Ken and experience the mated life and everything.

"Hey Roman," I look up to Nate who had called me as he approaches with the two girls. "This is Leticia and Daisy." He introduces the girls and I stand up to offer my hand in greeting. Victor stands too and together we start walking back to the assigned rooms.

We separate with the girls as we head to the bathroom to wash away the sweat before we go to have breakfast. There were people among us who volunteered to do the cooking throughout the week, some also chose cleaning.

Today there wasn't much to do but to make friends and get familiar with each other. This will help us to get along throughout the great luna week. The room sharing was the first step and I was glad no one protested about it when Nate told them about it in his many speech yesterday.

I finish my bath and head to my room without Nate since he had not yet taken a bath. I enter our room and found our roommates awake. There are supposed to be five in every room and apart from me and Nate, we've Max from South, Noel from East and Jordan from North.

"Hi Roman." Noel pipes up when he see me.

"Hush! He's right here, no need to raise your voice." Max scolds him but Noel wave him off and run to me.

"So I was thinking-" Noel starts but a clearing throat interrupts him. He rolls his eyes and smile at me. "I mean we were thinking that maybe you and Nate join us and spend the day together. You in?"

"Uh, I not sure bout Nate-"

"I'm spending the day with Leticia, Daisy and their other friends. You are welcome to join us if you want." Nate says while coming in the room.
