My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret) Chapter 78
Xade’s pov
“You’re going to flunk your classes,” Xaden warned as I walk toward the door, my duffel bag in my hand and a water bottle clutched in the other.
I stiffen. “Dad’s going to bite down your neck if you do and he’ll chew me up too for not forcing you to actually go to your classes man.” He continued, moving off the couch and stretched. “You haven’t attended one in a week and have been going to the gym instead.”
“Oh,” Kaylee the rogue girl squeaked low as she entered the room, her eyes shyly looking at Xaden whose torso is revealed because of his stretch. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He smirked, purposefully stretching once more until the poor girl’s face is beet red. I shook my head and mind-linked him to quit it.
‘She’s my mate, I want to tease her,’ he whined in my head, yet still put his arms down.
‘I know, but she’s still uncomfortable and scared of us. You need to relax and let her get more comfortable with you,’ I warned him.
With a sigh he gives up and removes his eyes off her enough for her to figure out her speech. “I-I-
“Spit it out.” I grumble, already wanting to get out of here.
Kaylee nervously wring her hands together and looked over at Xander who growled at me in warning. “I-need some-female stuff.” She blushed red, looking at the floor in embarrassment.
“I’m going out right now to a match, Xander will help you. Just let him know what you need.” I nudged my head to a happy Xander who look excited that his mate needed him for the first time.
She nods, shyly looking at Xander who’s already making his way over to her. Seeing this as my time to escape without him feeding me bullshit to feel guilty, I opened the door and left.
Today I have my first match after coming back here. The owner was a werewolf so he remembered me. However I went from being the top boxer to the new guy seeing as most of the audience were human and could not remember me.
Posters were ripped to avoid any confusion amongst the humans and I’m happy the owner let me start back today. Boxing had always been what that made me calm down a bit, my human flesh. And now that my wolf was dying, I needed to feel more of that flesh.
It’s been a week since I’ve been to the campus, but not a week since I last seen her. Call me creepy, but I’ve watched her silently every single day whenever am not in the gym punching bags. Watched her to the point one would seriously call me a stalker.
Henry kept good on his deal, a secret for a secret. So he allowed me to watch her from afar without him telling Alister. I appreciated it.
But soon I’d have to stop seeing her completely or my wolf will die out even faster. Her scent alone is killing me and not being near her is maddening painful.
Avery’s pov
I squeaked as I get squished through the throng of people cheering for the two guys in the ring currently making each other eat their fists. Melissa gripped me and dragged me up front so we could have a better show of the ring.
I played with the knot beside my hip nervously. I did wear the huge red shirt and knotted it at the end to not make it seem as if it was swallowing me whole. I think I look good and comfortable. Despite me feeling the opposite right now.
“When will he get on!?” Melissa scream to get her words across since the cheers were a bit loud. Her eyes skip around the room, in search of someone, in search of him.
Something bitter crawls in my chest. I didn’t want to feel jealous but he was the one guy I actually like. Yet…she was purposefully trying to make this a competition to see who gets him first.
I only realized the current match had ended when the crowd erupted in loud cheers and Melissa gripped me so hard I thought my arm would break off. “It’s his turn! It’s his turn! Look!” She pointed to the guy standing behind the ring….Xade.
My belly knotted strangely and my heart flipped. Something is drawing me to him, something that makes me want to go to him.
As the two men left the ring, the announcer begin to speak but his words are mute on my ears as I watch with anticipation as Xade walks into the ring, his shorts loose a bit on his hip, the V on his stomach leading to abs that look so lickable…..
Snap out of it Avery.
His eyes scanned the crowd, as if almost urgent and for a second, time seem to stand still when they stilled on me. My breath caught in my throat. For a moment in time everything else faded, the crowd, the cheers…
It felt like it was just us two. Just me and him.
But that didn’t last as the bell rang to signal the start of the match and Melissa squealed beside my ear. “He noticed me! Did you see? He looked at me!”
I pull my eyes off his to look at her with a frown. Why do I want to punch her in the face right now? Maybe I can say it was an accident and get away with it?
I shook my head. I needed to calm down, my violent thoughts were getting out of hand. “I’m going to the bathroom,” I excused myself as I unlinked my arm with hers and disappeared in the crowd before she can notice I was gone.
In the bathroom alone, I splashed cold water on my face. From the loud cheers going around, the match was probably done since I’ve been in here for long. I sighed, at least I didn’t witness him getting hurt. My stomach tightened, I didn’t want to see him get hurt.
I sighed and looked at my reflection in the mirror.
I should also get back to Melissa. She’s probably worried right now.
With a released breath from my mouth, I made my way to the door. I opened it, only to be pushed back in by a huge frame. I gasped, stumbling, eyes widening when blue eyes connect with mine. “You shouldn’t have come here.”
