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.

“Hey, Sky.” The blue-eyed boy at the front says with a smile that would make one of those teeth-whitening.

“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…
