"Miss? If you feel something is wrong, I want you to honestly tell me." The man's voice was sincere towards Xiao Mei Zhi, who had just gotten back from reality as she blinked her eyes. Confirming she was still alive. And If her sensitivity were gone she would gladly invest an opportunity because of the man and his attitude towards her, she would be really weak by just staring at him. She did not intend to miss the appearance of a man that has a similar eye to the wolf and she was still in shock from the comparison. It was a coincidence and she probably was just overthinking about it.
Seven called her name, so when she was touched by his hand, she felt unpleasant and could not help but scold him a little. "What do you think you are doing? Can you behave and just not keep on touching me whenever you are in the mood to poke people?"
Not from afar, Beat lashed out at Seven and tapped his right shoulder twice, "You just got roasted, man." Then Xiao Mei Zhi massages her temple, it was only after she had calmed down that suddenly she realized that she got captivated by the man in front of her.
"So, Miss, are you alright?"
Spaced out by hearing his voice, Xiao Mei Zhi was lost. It was her first time allowing herself to act like a normal woman. For once, it felt good. Unknowingly, she smiled.
"I do not think she is fine," Beat added as he observed Xiao Mei Zhi's behavior as she smiled again after putting a flat expression. She was not able to notice that in such a mood, with only her happiness that matters, she was interested in looking at the future Alpha of Sundown Whisperer but he has no personal feelings towards her, it was clear that he did not put any woman in his heart and due to her talent tempering the original scent, she smells differently from the werewolves perspective. She does not smell like a human at all, not a vampire, not a werewolf mate but a smell of steam.
Before Xiao Mei Zhi spoke again, she cleared her throat. "Yes, I am alright," she then shifted her attention to the people passing by, "I should probably head out now," she said while looking at Seven and Beat. It was like as if she forgot that they were just strangers and they also dragged her to the airport. With a memory of her passing out only in the coffee shop.
"Seven take her back to where you found her," Their future Alpha ordered and Seven nodded. "She must be safely delivered back."
"Yes, after I finish explaining first about what happened inside the airplane as Beat slides some noodles on your face, We could just clearly wipe it off away since we have seen it as a look of satisfaction. Even a few amazements, on your face."
"It is not easy to move on, seeing you with noodles. The best image." Seven completed the words he wanted for their future Alpha to hear. At the same time, he lowered his head and his eyes were staring at the clean floor. "I just thought you would like how Beat ended it with some lipstick for a tease."
Their future Alpha knew Beat and Seven better than anyone else, Beat was not playful but due to Seven's tempting styles of playing and using people for fun, especially in public areas, both of them will be lost between the lines of having a good time and wanting to enjoy more from it. It has been countless times in their life and during those times as a team, a family, and a pack...he was proud of having them.
In the meantime, Xiao Mei Zhi was clueless about the topic she heard. While listening, the future Alpha noticed that he was kind of near to her. He moved a step backward since he was facing her and it was also a good idea to give her some space too. Meanwhile, she tried to attempt standing up again and the second time, it was a different person. An airline steward was walking in a hurry, pushing Xiao Mei Zhi accidentally.
The future Alpha quickly used his reflexes to help Xiao Mei Zhi.
"Sorry," The steward managed to say aloud but then continued to go to where it was heading.
Abruptly, Seven and Beat gasped.
The future alpha handed Xiao Mei Zhi well in his arms, his gaze moving over her face, lasting on her lips before shifting his sight to the pulse that beats on her throat, while his right hand was placed in her chest, he could feel and hear her beating heart like a soothing sound of corals singing under the sea. She was weak on his arms, small with a skin that glimpsed as though it barely saw the sun--which was a fact since she locked herself up in a few months. He clamped his left hand and put it at the back before Seven and Beat noticed that he was affected by the woman who he does not know. There was an urge inside of him that wanted her to stay, closer, as long as she was in his arms. He also wanted to touch her lips with his own, to sip the flavor that she was hiding alone. He frowned and looked at the Steward walking away, "You should not stand up without looking at what and who is in front of you."
As much as possible Seven and Beats future Alpha was preventing making eye contact with Xiao Mei Zhi.
"Uh. Excuse me," Xiao Mei Zhi said, she wanted to grab the attention of the man who just helped her. "You can let go of me now." She gently pushed him away but for some reason, she felt like he wanted her to stay in his arms longer. It was not like she assumed or overthink the situation she was in, but as far as she could tell...he certainly liked her.
