Ch 22 Worst Day Ever

ALARIC’S POV

Yesterday was amazing. We skipped lunch and made love to Thea. We kept our clothes on, but that’s what it was— making love. We skipped the rest of school, relaxed in the woods, and talked about shifting. It was a fantastic day. Then we went home to find all our stuff moved into Thea’s room. We were officially living together. We finally get to sleep together every night, be together every day. No reason to part. No space between us. She was ours.

Today, we woke up and watched Thea get ready for her day with Misty. She styled her hair and put on makeup. She never wears makeup unless it’s a formal event. She doesn’t need it, she’s perfect without it, but if she put it on, it meant she thought the occasion was special. She wanted to impress someone. It hurt that she was doing it for someone else.

When I saw her in the turquoise dress, hair styled, makeup on, it took my breath away. She was always gorgeous. She was the most beautiful creature on Earth. No one held a candle to her, even though she always dressed in a way to downplay her feminine features. Seeing her in the dress that accentuated those features made me want to reach under it and do things to make her scream my name.

I could tell Kai and Conri were thinking similar thoughts.

She kissed each of us goodbye then left.

“When was the last time we spent an entire day away from each other?” Kai said.

“When we were kids. She went with her parents to visit her uncle’s pack back east,” Conri said. “She was gone a week.”

“We fought each other and everyone else the whole time,” I said, remembering.

“We couldn’t sleep without her. Mom had to drug us,” Kai said.

As soon as she got back, we relaxed, and things went back to normal. Our parents decided Thea couldn’t go anywhere without us. When her parents were sent on out-of-town assignments, we were assigned to keep Thea safe and happy since we were the reason she couldn’t be with them.

“Why does she want to spend the entire day without us?” Kai said.

“She needs to see what else is out there. She’s never had anyone even show an interest in her because we scared them away before they hada chance,” I said.

“Why does she want to spend the day with that she-wolf?” Conri said.

“Misty confessed her love for her. We haven’t even done that,” Kai said.

“Of course Thea will be affected by that,” I said. “ She doesn’t know anything besides us,” I said. I couldn’t help but think we’d been pathetic mates to her.

“Neither do we. We’ve only ever been with her,” Conri said.

“No,” I said.
