The Human Wolf

Seven

I flattered my eyes, once the sight turned from blurry blobs into something much clearer, my brain realised something. It wasn't my bedroom. These weren't my bedsheets, my fluffy cuddle pillows. And I most certainly wasn't alone. I had two bodies beside me, both breathing and both holding or touching some part of my body.

I looked to either side of me, Leon was on my right side and Barrett on my left side. I was laying on my back, both brothers faced me, still asleep. I loosened myself from their touch and sat up in the bed. I was still in my denim shorts however Conri's hoodie was not on me, I was in my cropped bralette. I looked around and saw Conri's hoodie ripped on the floor, torn to shreds.

"She's awake," I turned and saw that both boys were awake. Leon smirked with his eyes closed. Barrett seemed to have a similar look, but more worry was etched on his face. I quickly grabbed the sheet that had fallen down and brought it up. I covered myself up, looking straight ahead to the other side of the bedroom.

"She's shy, Leon. You've got to make her feel comfortable and not embarrassed." Barrett said to his brother, as he gently kisses my bicep. It felt different, like something about the body contact made my inside react. I shivered from the simple gesture and it wasn't because it felt weird but because I felt rather calm from it. It just seemed to freak me out more than I had ever felt.

"Why... Why am I here?" I stuttered.

"Her Majesty said you fainted." Barrett sat up in the bed, reliving that he only had a pair of pyjama shorts on.

"You hit your head on the impact of the fall." Leon followed with his comments.

I instantly felt my head throb, it was a strange feeling. I swallowed some saliva and remembered what happened. I was having a panic attack about everything; Conri, the Twins, being lied too and the fact that I am leaving today to another place. "What time are we leaving, Alphas?"

"Please Nyla, call us by our names." Barrett seemed to plead.

I didn't make eye contact and had my eyes trained on the concrete flooring. "What time are we leaving, Alphas?" I didn't waiver nor did I want to say their names. I seemed to have become slightly submissive to them and it was something I wasn't liking. I stood up in the bedroom, keeping the sheet covering my appearance from the two men.

Barrett sighed in frustration. Leon seemed a little upset by what I had said too. "We leave in a couple of hours. You may finish packing."

What surprised me is the fact that both Leon and Barrett kissed my forehead before I left the bedroom, holding the sheet tightly around my body. Somewhere, most likely deep deep down In their guts, they actually cared for me. Or it could just be a whole lie and they only want me to be their mate for their future. I clutched onto the sheet, making my way back through the palace corridors and straight to my bedroom.

I wasn't sure what to pack or what to grab; books to either stay or leave, various knick-knacks that myself and Conri had collected. It was hard because I knew that this move would be permanent, I felt like this would be a good change. Try something new, Nyla. My head was reassuring me that this wasn't the second biggest mistake of my life. The first being that I fell in love with the wrong man.

My life was turning into my worst nightmare and I didn't like it one bit. Everything was just overwhelming, my emotions were everywhere. I was still mad at Conri, Clara I was a little upset at and well the women that took me in, Spencer, I wasn't sure what to think. I loved her like my own mother and she had always been there for me since they passed. I
could never really hate her but Conri, my blood was starting to boil.
