Chapter 40 A Surprising Evening

SKYLA.

The sound of a doorbell ringing makes my eyes fly open, and I sit up, looking around my room which is now bathed in darkness. When did I even get home…

I rub my head, trying to remember the last thing that had happened…

I left Aleric’s office and was meant to head to training with Royce, but I didn’t feel too good. I had messaged Royce that I felt sick and asked if we could cancel….

I remember just about managing to find Malevolent and then… Then I bumped into Aleric as he was leaving, and he offered to drop me at home…

Yes, that’s what happened…

I don’t remember getting home though, or how or when I got into bed…

My shoes are off, and the duvet is pulled up over me.

Malevolent isn’t in the room, and the bedroom door is open.

I hear a loud knocking on the door and curse.

“Who is that?” I groan, dragging myself out of bed as I try to wake up fully.

I grab my phone from my pocket and see I have several missed calls and a shit tonne of texts.

Dude, can anyone just let me live in peace?

I feel fine now, but what the hell had even happened that I hadn’t felt well or got knocked out like that.

Weird.

Another loud ring of the doorbell makes me growl.

“What the hell… can a girl not sleep without being disturbed?” I grumble as I head to the door and yank it

open.

Ready to scold whoever it is until I find myself staring at the six giants who are crowded outside my door.

“What the….” I begin.

“Renji…” I say, staring at each of the quintuplets, and Ahren. Theo and Ares are holding several huge pizza boxes.

The smell is about to give me a foodgasm. Ahren and Jayce have drinks and some other paper food bags and Renji is holding three damn boxes of Krispy Kremes!

Ah, foodsies! Come to Mama…

“The hell are you gorillas doing here?” I question, narrowing my eyes at them before my gaze flits back to

the food.
