Feral Born (Viciously Yours #1)

Chapter Sixteen: Moving Day

Ryan's P.O.V.

The events of the past two days had put a dark cloud over my head about everything that was going on with Kaiya. As if trying to come to terms with her one woman mission wasn't enough I had Jasper to worry about now. The way he had spoken about Kaiya wasn't in a spurned ex kind of way but like he truly hated her. And those comments he made about her species?

It worried me to think that Jasper could be planning something. He wasn't the most rational or, honestly, sane wolf. But would he really go that far? Sharing a group's opinion was one thing but to actually act on it? I didn't think he had it in him, though that wouldn't stop me from keeping a close eye on him.

However, I wasn't going to let what happened yesterday keep me in such a bad mood, today of all days. Vibrating in pure excitement and happiness, I danced around my little room boxing up the necessary items. Trying to focus on the positives, at least for now, I thought back to the day before yesterday when I had cornered Kaiya before she left after our meeting in the conference room.

Rushing out the door after Kai, I slid in front of her and blocked the stairs before she could make her way down. Her head tilted back to look at me because of our close vicinity as she gave me a slight glare.

"When?" I bit out in my nervousness. Because it wasn't like I was asking the most beautiful she-wolf when she wanted me to move in. Nope, not at all nerve wracking. What if she forgot already? Or changed her mind?

She raised a dark brow, "What?"

Tensing a little, I coughed and tried again, "When would be a good time for me to move into your cabin?" Good moon, could you sound any more formal Ryan?

Stop with weird. Mate change mind.

Oh, yea. Make me even more stressed out about what should be a simple question Slader!

The bastard just huffed and in my irritation, I almost missed Kai's response, "Day after tomorrow."

A day after tomorrow! Yes! Alright be cool, Ryan. Act like girls ask you to move in all the time. BE. COOL. "So like, you want me to bring my stuff and...stuff?"

"Yes. Bring everything you need or want. I'll clear out some space in the bedroom for you."

Don't faint. Don't fucking faint. Not after you saw her hooded look when you got violent with Jasper. Don't ruin this for yourself!

Looking at her with wide eyes, I grasped onto the handrail to keep myself steady. Her ruby gaze drifted from my eyes to where my heart was with a concerned look.

"Are you afraid? Your heart is abnormally fast right now."

Oh, screw me. She can hear my heart beat. "Uh, I'm fine. But, I'm sorry, could you repeat that? My stuff will be in your room?"

She nodded, "Yes. I only have one bedroom so we'll share. Unless you'd like your own space."

As soon as the edges of my vision began to darken, I knew it was time to cut this short, "No, no. Sharing is fine. I'll go start getting my room ready."

Moving quickly before she could say anything else, I practically ran to my room to pass out in private like any respectable male would.

Laughing at the memory of her bewildered look as I ran from her, I tossed my last item of clothing into the box. Folding the top closed, I stacked the medium sized box on top of the other two by the door. Spinning on the balls of my feet, I slid to the left and then to the right in my version of a happy dance. Grabbing a small box while hopping foot to foot, I entered the closet sized bathroom to dump all of my toiletries into it.
