Chapter 17 - I See A Naked Knox?!

I woke up as usual in my room in Knox's arms. I placed a kiss on his cheek making him pull me closer to him. I took my phone and checked the time, it was 7 AM. I'm growing a habit of waking up at 7 every day. It has been 2 days since these people started going to school, today is the third day. I'm kinda recovered. I can move my legs and all but the doc said to go to school from next week.

I motioned Wiskey to come to me. He was sitting on the couch near the window enjoying the birds flying here and there and singing a happy song. He is very fond of a raven which flies around here very often. It looks unique with some red shades, probably blood, and crimson red eyes.

Wiskey came running to me excited that I was awake but I guess he is more excited about his walk. I petted him with my hands causing Knox to stir.

"Knox, wakey," I whispered in his ear.

He let out a hum and kissed my forehead before drifting back to sleep. I looked at Wiskey for help, Wiskey went to Knox and started licking his face. I let out a laugh and pulled Wiskey to me when Knox let out a groan. I freed myself from Knox's hold and stood up. I went to his room and stole one of his hoodies, I slipped into his hoodie before walking back to my room.

Knox was wide awake. He stretched out his arms and sighed in relaxation.

"Take a shower, make breakfast, wake James and Charlotte up, I am going to take Wiskey for a walk," I told him.

He lets out another groan but agreed nonetheless. These people have school at 9. They may be bad boys but they are not going to be late to school, not in my watch. The reason to wake James up early is to prevent Mae and James' argument, there is only one washroom downstairs which they have to share. Upstairs has only two washrooms, one is in my room the other is a common one for all. The first day was a mess. Char requested me to wake her up early. I swear, why do I need to wake these babies up?

~~~~~~

I came back home. I saw Knox cooking, I could smell pancakes. I went over to him after closing the door, giving him a peck on his lips. I fed Wiskey and checked the time, it was 7:45 AM.

"Char is up, James is not waking up," Knox told me while cooking.

I shook my head and headed to James's room and opened it.

"James," I called.

"Two more minutes, mom." He muttered.

"James, get up before I kick you out of your bed," I said while tapping my foot on the floor.

He sat up wide-eyed. There are two people who are scared of me, James and Reece. He lets out a groan but gets up from his bed nonetheless.

"I'm up, I'm up....." He kept muttering.

I looked at him amused, I was trying my best to not laugh. Since he already got up I went upstairs to wake Reece. This house had one rule don't lock the room unless it is necessary. Wiskey was right behind me. In these two days, he has grown a habit of waking Reece up. I opened the door for him to enter. As soon as I opened the door Wiskey ran into the room and started jumping on him and started licking him.

Reece lets out a groan and ran his hand through his dark brown hair. He opened his eyes and held Wiskey.

"Good morning," He smiled at Wiskey.

"No good morning for me?" I pouted.

He was startled but he soon recovered and let out a laugh. He got up from the bed and walked towards me.

"Good morning," He said while hugging me and he placed a kiss on my forehead.

He reminded me of Zach. I shook my thoughts off and smiled at him. Reece and James treated me as if I was their little sister. James is like an annoying idiot, while Reece is a sweet person. I get out of his room since he was awake. When I was about to go down and have my pancakes, I heard a groan followed by 'ughhh'. It was coming from Char's room. I entered her room to find her trying to braid her hair. I suppressed a laugh.

"Want help?" I asked her.

She dropped her comb startled by my presence. I chuckled at her and walked to her.

"You scared me," She said.

"Sorry," I muttered.

I started braiding her hair, I didn't ask her what braid she wanted I did a braid that would look good on her outfit, she wore an army dark green shirt with an oversized grey cardigan over it, she matched it with white ripped jeans and brown ankle boots. After I was done with the half up triple french braid bun, she let out a gasp.

"Omg, it looks so good!" she gasped.

"You look cute, now get ready quick, breakfast is ready," I told her.

"Okie, I will be there in a minute." She smiled.

I was tired. I ate, woke Reece and James up, braided Char's hair and I feel like I am forgetting something, something very important. I looked at the time. It was 8:30. I have to wake Mae up now.

"James, wake Mae up," I told him.

He lets out a groan. He was about to switch the TV on. Waking Mae up is so hard. She could sleep even if there's an earthquake. James got up and left to wake her. Exactly after two minutes, he came with a frown. Oh god.

"Mae, get up this instant if you want breakfast!" I yelled from the living room, too lazy to go there.

"If you aren't here in 10 minutes, no breakfast for you," I added.

Knowing that she would do anything when it comes to food, I didn't bother to check if she was awake. I glanced at each of my housemates who stood in the room, ready for school.

Knox wore a white t-shirt with an apricot-colored fur coat along with blue jeans. Reece wore a grey shirt with a black leather jacket with a hood, he matched it with black jeans. James wore a black t-shirt, a black leather jacket, and black jeans with black and white shoes, this kid had a black headset around his neck too.

Everyone was doing something or the other thing. Knox was scrolling through his phone, James was eating, Charlotte was drying the dishes and Reece was washing them. What was I doing you may ask, I am grooming Wiskey.

Mae came in after 10 minutes. I wasn't surprised, as long as I know Mae she is always like this. I glared at her when she came and ruffled my hair.

Mae wore a black poncho with a very warm-looking black scarf and she matched it all with dark blue jeans.

Great now as everyone is ready I just want them to get out. Suddenly pain strikes through my hair. I held my head and grunted. I clenched my eyes shut.

'Sorry, sorry!' A familiar voice panicked.

It hurts a lot, I unconsciously screamed 'Zach'. Soon after I was held in someone's arm. I clutched the person's shirt in pain. I heard multiple growls.

The pain soon reduced and I opened my eyes to see, my favorite pair of silver eyes. It took me a minute to realize it was Zach. I pushed him away and stood up. I swear I saw the hurt in his eyes for a moment, the next moment he disappeared.

I looked around the house for threats but I saw Mae who looked furious, Knox looked angry, James was holding Mae back and Reece was holding Knox back.

"Leave them," I told them.

As soon as they were free Mae stormed out of the house. Knox stood there, he cautiously walked towards me.

"Are you ok ?" He asked me, his voice a mixture of his and Ryder's.

I nodded and was about to say something I was cut off by Reece.

"Knox."

Knox replied with a venomous growl and shifted. I quickly went and stood in front of them stopping Knox from attacking them.

"Three of you go to school!" I practically barked at them.

They scurried outside. I turn my gaze to Knox's wolf who was growling. I walked towards him cautiously. As soon as I heard a growl I lowered my gaze. Seeing me submit Ryder let out a whimper. I glanced at his wolf and at Wiskey who was in the corner. I let out a laugh making Ryder turn his slightly looking confused. I made my way to him and sat on the ground near him making him grin. His wolfish grin looked so adorable. I find myself grinning at him.

Ryder makes himself comfortable on my lap. I started petting him earning a purr, I chuckled and played with his fur. I felt him relaxing in my touch. I looked into Ryder's icy blue eyes, wait Knox is in control. I find myself smiling as I got lost into his eyes. I felt Knox shake and heard bone crackling. Knox laid in my lap, FREAKING NAKED.

I let out a scream and buried my head in the couch. His deep laughter filled the room.

"dai amore, non hai visto nessuno nudo?" He asked in Italian. [come on love, you haven't seen anyone naked?]

"Davvero non l'ho fatto. Vorrei continuare così," I muttered. [I seriously haven't. I would like to keep it that way]

"vedremo di quel cupcake~" He whispered in my ear making my leg go weak. [We will see about that cupcake]

"Go put some clothes on," I shoved him.

He chuckled and left I guess. I still didn't open my eyes. And let me tell you, he didn't go to the school that day, neither did Mae.
