Nicolai glanced sideways at Dylan. He did not notice before but they both were dressed up as a couple. He was wearing a white shirt with an open front that was tied up near the collar and Dylan was wearing a black silk shirt the same as his.
But the shirts looked vastly different on both of them.
When he glanced at his reflection he only saw a delicate figure reflected there, but on Dylan's body, it showed raw powers and masculinity. His chest was slightly peaking out with each step he took and the small tie up near his collar got undone, exposing a bit of his prominent collar bone.
'Why is he exposing so much skin...' his wandering eyes focused on the pack members. Few f the younger teenagers would occasionally throw a glance at him with a blush.
'ah, I knew it. This seductive wolf. Why does he wear his shirt like this? He might as well walk around naked flaunting his ass.'
"Nico?" Dylan softly whispered.
"What?"
"You keep lancing at me and gritting your teeth. is anything the issue?"
"What are you going to do if I said you are the issue?" Nicolai reached up and pulled his shirt together. "Tie it up for god's sake. Didn't anyone teach you how to tie a knot properly? It's not how you do it,"
He pulled him to a stop and tied it up as tightly close to his neck as possible.
Subtly he glanced back at the pack members. They all silently giggled.
'What are they giggling about? I covered up his chest.... should I cover his whole body up... this tempting orange is really annoying..'
A warm hand gently touched his face and the next second a pair of soft lips graced his cheeks.
Nico was shocked and stunned by this sudden kiss. Eyes wide, he glanced up at him.
"Jealousy looks good on you. But rest assured this body is only for you."
"Agh...I.. I'm not jealous at all. Who is jealous?" he let go of his shirt and walked ahead hastily. "Stop wasting your time chit chatting. The hunt is about to begin,"
"You seem more existed for the full moon festival than I am. Been to one before?"
Nicola glanced at him over his shoulders. "Only heard about it from rue. Don't worry; I'm not excited about the festival. I'm excited about something else. I am going to finally beat your ass. I am going to be the king of the hunt,"
Dylan raised his brow. "Ambitious. You have a lot of competition here. Well.. I'm the strongest contender." He leaned forward. "If you promise a date, I might go easy on you."
"Who needs you to go easy on me?" Nico pulled the gun close. "I can beat your werewolf ass without even using my supernatural powers."
"hmm mnnn.. We'll see. It's a challenge then? I win and we get to go on a date. You win and you get the throne,"
Nicolai scoffed. "I am already obliged to this pack and this throne. If I win I..... ill tell yp later,"
As of now, he did not want anything he wanted from this wolf puppy.
"Come on guys let's go!"
Hunter and Issac happily hoped behind him. "I bet I can hunt more than you Nico."
"no way. I can bet the alpha king's ass. And I will beta your ass too."
Issac who remained silently all along suddenly chuckled. "Says the person who set up a crocodile trap and got caught in it,"
Nicolai blushed red. "I-it was not true. I was not caught in it. My leg was stuck in the sludge,"
"I distinctly remember pulling your leg off the trap."
"No way."
"Darius tell me you saw that right,"
Darius joined their joyous conversation. "' yep, I saw it too. Nico did get his leg stuck in it,"
"Oh my god, you guys have joined alms to humiliate me," Nicolai massaged his blushing cheeks.
Dylan silently followed behind them. He could feel the love they had for one another. Nico considered them as his own brothers. 'And they are my brother's too.... I have to ask Killian to set up a protective team to take care of them. Alden is patient and kind. He will do as the leader and who else to choose....'
"Hey what are you doing there, orange. Come on," Nicola threw open the door and gestured for him to follow.
Dylan rushed after them. "Orange? I'm orange now?"
"Yep. That's your nickname."
When Darius heard this he gave a weird lance at Nicolai and Dylan. "If he is orange, who is apple?"
Nico looked at him with a guilty look. "No one...."
"I see...." Darius confusedly looked at him.
Right then a red-clothed figure dashed in front of him. "You guys participating in the hunt?" Killian particularly looked at Darius with his brows arched up.
Darius nodded. "We all are. Expect the little ones. They are just going to be here till the festival,"
"Great," Killian walked alongside them throwing glances at Darius.
Nicolai noticed this right away. "Your beta seems to have his eyes set on my brother. You do realize that Darius is just fifteen right?" he whispered to Dylan.
"I know. I'm sure he will never hurt him in any way possible."
Nicolai glanced back again with a worried sigh. "Hurting is the least of my worries. I'm scared that they might... mark early and suffer the consequences..." he unconsciously massaged the back of his neck.
Dylan reached out and hesitantly touched it. "I'm sorry for marking you without permission.."
"You were a baby. You didn't do it intentionally," Nico cast a comforting smile at him.
Right out of the pack house. He froze. Fifty members of the arctic pack were all waiting out there. They were all dancing, singing and eating out of the buffet.
Dylan gently caressed his back. "Breath. You've got this."
"Yes, I've got it.." Nicolai stood tall and walked down the stairs with grace.
