After the Alpha and Luna left, I was taken to Reagan's room, which was filled with furniture that was in my new favorite color, gray. His room was full of different shades of grey. once I was done ogling his room I turned to him as I felt his gaze on me.
"You can take the bed," Reagan said. I know he is trying to give me space I need to get used to his presence and I am grateful but I also know he is dying to get close to me, to hold me.
I may not be able to let him sleep with me tonight but I could give him and his wolf some form of relief. I took a step closer to him, his gray eyes watching me carefully.
I took another step, and another until I was just a few centimeters away from him. He just stood there, watching me carefully, his hand lay flat at his sides as he towered over me. I like the way he towers over me, what can I say, I have a thing for tall wolves.
Hesitantly, I wrap my arms around him and pull myself closer to him. His body heat and intoxicating scent surround me.
After he got over his shock, his huge arms are around me. In his embrace, I felt a different sense of comfort, I felt safe and protected.
All too soon we pull apart. His gaze is on me and I stare into his eyes mesmerized.
I realized what I had done and quickly turned away from him, open my suitcase, picked out my pajamas, and rushed to the bathroom.
Once I closed the door, I felt myself release a shaky breath. I didn't even realize that I had held my breath the entire time
I finally came out of the bathroom only to find Reagan preparing the couch for himself. Something just didn't sit right with me and that was the only reason why I said.
"You could sleep with me, well that is if you want to."
"Are you sure?"
"Only if you want to."
"I would love to," he said with a heart-stopping smile. Probably happy that we are making progress as mates.
I jump into bed and Reagan does the same. For the better part of an hour, I stare at the ceiling before I turn to Reagan's way. I notice that he had, at some point, fallen asleep. I enter into an argument with Sarai because she keeps telling me to move closer to him, to feel his body heat, maybe I could fall asleep.
After the vicious battle, I eventually give up with a sigh as my sign of defeat. I look at Reagan once again and slowly, but surely, move to his side. As if on instinct, his arm goes around my waist and pulls me closer, closing up the small gap I had left.
Well, what do you know? My wolf was right. Just seconds after, my eyes begin to close as they get heavy. And all too soon the dark consumes me.
I woke up to the feeling of my large, comfortable pillow moving in a rhythmic movement and part of it was stroking my long black hair. And let me just say it's a good thing I did not cut my hair into a shoulder-length cut as I planned to last month.
I buried myself more into my hard pillow only to feel the hair stroking stopped.
"No," I whinnied, "don't stop." I heard my pillow chuckle before the stroking continued.
Everything that happened came crashing down on me, my face went red as I shot up from Reagan, who now look panicked.
My face became even redder as I realized I was straddling his abdominal area.
"What's wrong?" He quickly asked.
"N-nothing!" I said unbelievably fast that it surprised even me.
He scanned my face and focused on my cheeks that were hot red. He laughed at my reaction but still brushed it off.
"Get ready, father wants to see you soon and talk to you about the acceptance trials," he said. I hopped off him and rushed to the bathroom with my cheeks still stained with redness.
After the usual morning routine. I waited for Reagan to do the same as well and we left the room only to find that everyone is already there and waiting for us.
"Hello Malik, nice to see you once again," Alpha Ezra said to me.
"Good morning," I replied with a warm smile.
"Please have your breakfast and join me in my office to discuss the acceptance trails," Alpha Ezra said.
As said by the Alpha, we all had our breakfast. After, we visited the Alpha's office. When we had settled down, Ezra began the meeting with Lione, Rhiannon, Reagan, who still had not left my side, and I.
"You are aware of the acceptance trails of each pack?" Before we could reply, he continued, "our pack has 3 optional tests, the Tracking trails, the strategy trails, and the combat trails, the last two are mandatory. The trail of the full moon and the trail of the pack." He concluded.
"You will choose which ones you will take part in, I will give you time to decide which you will take part in and this afternoon I will ask for a reply," Alpha Ezra said.
As he was about to say something else, a man rushed into the office. I took my time observing him and something seemed off with him and my wolf was agitated by this.
"Beta Hart, Is there a reason for your enthusiastic entrance?" Alpha Ezra asked with a calm face but even a deaf man can hear the anger in his voice.
"My apologies Alpha, but a rouge was caught trying to slip into our land," the man said. He seems like a trustworthy man.
"And?" The Alpha asked.
"And she is a bit unstable," the beta said. The way he phased his sentence made it clear that he had sugar-coated his words.
"I will leave you to make your decision," he said to Leone, Rain, and I, then turned to Reagan, "let's go, son."
Reagan was very much against the idea of leaving my side but after a heated stare battle with his father, he got up, looked me in the eye one last time before leaving with his father.
My eyes remained glued to the door after Reagan had shut it.
"So which trail will we take?" Leone asked but he already knew we would undergo all three trials. I still don't understand why I feel the need to prove myself worthy to this pack.
Later that day the Alpha came back and we told him our decision to take all three trials which came as a shock to the Alpha as it was rare to find one who would undergo all three trials and here comes three wolves claiming to take part in all the acceptance trails of the strongest park to have ever existed.
But never the less, in a fortnight time we will take part in the trials.
