Alpha's Human Mate

Wake Up Call

The very next morning, Gulf felt both heavy and hot, involuntarily groaning at the discomfort. "What the hell am I pinned down like this?" he muttered to himself, glancing at their sleeping position. He tried to fully awaken but found himself trapped by Mew, who lay slightly on top of him. Gulf attempted to shift Mew's hand and leg away from his chest and torso, almost succeeding.

"Mew, wake up," Gulf said, giving up on his silent attempts to move without waking Mew. "Mew~ wake up. Oh, my Goddess, or any deity out there, please make this mate of mine move," he added, shaking Mew's body. Involuntarily, Mew turned away from Gulf, prompting him to roll quickly out of bed, thanking the heavens for listening to his silent plea.

Before Gulf could head to the toilet to relieve himself, he heard a knock on the door that made him jump slightly, glancing over at it. Another round of knocking followed, and this time, he looked back at Mew, who was still sleeping soundly. "Thank the Goddess he's sleeping like a log," Gulf murmured, heading to the door to open it.

"Morning, Gulf," Kokliang greeted, smiling happily as if Christmas were near. "You deliberately knocked so many times just to get on your brother's nerves, didn't you?" Gulf narrowed his eyes at Kokliang, who was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Hehehe, it's fun to disturb him when he's vulnerable like this," Kokliang replied, still giggling. "Stop that, and don't do that to my mate, you little rascal," Gulf said playfully as if scolding a small child.

"Hehehe, okay, okay, I will. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that we need to call him up so he can drive us," Kokliang continued. "You really forgot that we have class today, didn't you?" he added, narrowing his eyes and pointing at Gulf.

"Oh shit! I forgot. Give me 5–10 minutes to change, and then you can call him," Gulf said, turning around and closing the door behind him.

Ten minutes later, Kokliang knocked diligently on the door, alerting Gulf, who was currently packing his notes neatly into his backpack. "Aren't you on time?" Gulf mocked, opening the door and smirking at Kokliang, who was grinning like a maniac.

"For this, of course, I'll always be on time," Kokliang replied. "He's still asleep, so luck is on your side," Gulf said, opening the door wide for Kokliang to see Mew snoozing away.

"Excellent! This is the perfect time to call him up. Would you do the honour?" Kokliang asked playfully, looking at Gulf.

"Oh, my kind Sir, it would be my pleasure," Gulf said, matching his tone to Kokliang's. "If you could stand a few metres away from the scene, that would be great, so we don't bump into each other as we run away later," Gulf instructed, gesturing to where Kokliang should stand.

"Okay, no problem, Sir. I'll be right here waiting for you," Kokliang replied, moving a few inches away from the door. Gulf smiled mischievously at Kokliang and winked at him before turning around to initiate their plan.

"MEW! HELP!" Gulf screamed dramatically while Kokliang chuckled. "I'm here, I'm here!" Mew shouted as he abruptly woke up, nearly falling out of bed while looking at Gulf, who was holding back laughter.

"Oh fuck!" cursed Kokliang as Mew got up from the bed. "Gulf! Kokliang!" Mew said in an angry, playful tone, glaring at them with his dark eyes.

"Oh, shit," Gulf said, backing away from Mew. Both Kokliang and Gulf retreated as they focused their eyes on Mew, who smirked as if he had cornered his prey. "RUN!" Gulf screamed, taking off with Kokliang in tow.

A few seconds later, both Gulf and Kokliang heard Tharn growling close by, urging them to run even faster. They passed Kaownah, who happened to be peeping from the other room, curiously observing what was happening.

Soon enough, both Gulf and Kokliang were almost out of the back door when Kaownah began to chase them alongside Mew. Thus began a chaotic chase with the four grown men acting like four-year-olds around the house before exiting the packhouse.

Meanwhile, the pack members present at the scene exchanged amused smiles, shaking their heads at the sight. Gulf quietly hid behind the kitchen counter while Kokliang and Mew continued chasing each other towards the jungle.

"Oh, morning, Luna! Sorry, I didn't see you there," said one of the pack members who had just entered the kitchen. "Morning, no worries," replied Gulf, still hiding in his spot.

"Luna, do you want to join the other pack members for breakfast?" asked another pack member, smiling sweetly at Gulf.

"There's no need for that," Gulf said, standing up and dusting off his behind and knees.

He dusted off his backside and knee, then proceeded to snatch a slice of toast that had been prepared by the pack members. After grabbing a disposable travel cup, he poured some steaming coffee into it and sauntered away. Gulf then scooped up his abandoned backpack, which lay languidly in the middle of the hall, and grabbed some random car keys before he strolled to the car porch. He unlocked one of the cars, hopped in, and zoomed out of the packhouse, heading toward the university.
