Kyle washed me gently. He respected my privacy by asking me questions. Should I do this? Should I do that? "There you go. All clean." His voice was kind, too. I have never heard him speak to Brooke in this soft manner. It made me feel giddy. I relished that emotion for a long time until he asked to carry me into the room. I did not feel like I was naked. I only felt safe in his strong arms.

"What are we going to do about Zeke?" My eyes were getting heavier by the minute.

Kyle paused. "I need to freshen up. Can you wait a minute?

I need to get food and take my bath. You cannot sleep until you have eaten."

I couldn't promise him that I would be awake. "I haven't slept or eaten for a whole day."

"Hold on." Kyle muttered, bringing out his phone. He dialed a number. "Can you bring a simple dinner upstairs? Yes, I'll receive it. Make sure there is enough meat." He paused.

"Three carrots and five broccoli. Add a bottle of milk too."

He glanced at me. "She will need it."

I sighed. "Who is going to eat all of that?"

"You." He mouthed before thanking the staff.

Kyle was in the middle of removing his clothes when he heard footsteps. He opened the door immediately to replace the maid passing by. "Hey, bring it here."

The maid looked shocked. "Huh?" She eyed his shirtless body in appreciation. "But this is Naya's room."

"She is too weak to eat." Kyle said awkwardly. Then he collected the tray and closed the door. I rolled my eyes at their encounter.

"She must have been surprised at your kind behavior since you treated me badly throughout my stay here. I wonder what has changed, though." I ended sarcastically.

It didn't get to Kyle as much as I wanted it to. "I know I was a jerk. But think of it: I gave you the scentless spray; do you remember? I was kind to you sometimes."

I chuckled. "Yeah, sometimes." Then I remembered what he did the other day. "Why did you share my n**e?"

Kyle dropped the tray on the desk close to me, after which he went straight to my closet. He was acting like I was dating him. In fact, he made himself at home in my room. It was often off-limits to people like him. The mating bond couldn't allow him to stay away, huh?

"Is it the mating bond or is it just you?" Naya asked with a small smile on her face. She didn't wait for my reply before disappearing into the shadows.

"I am not sure." I replied. I also wonder why. I have always liked the twins, before I knew about the mating bond or my mating age. I have come of mating age, so I could feel the pull without pinpointing their location. But it was different for them. They got to the mating age and hid it from me.

"Because I wanted to tease you? And that wasn't you anyway. If you thought I planted someone or put a camera in your room just to get those pictures, it is a lie."

I nodded in agreement. Kyle was too busy for that rubbish.

"You have to let the school know."

Kyle removed the rest of his clothes while I closed my eyes.

"Goddess! Kyle, couldn't you be at least decent?" I was blasted with embarrassment. Instead, I was met with silence. Whats happening? I glanced back to see Kyle fully naked and staring at me. He wasn't ashamed to show me his thick c*Ock. They were thick, even though he was still soft. For now. "What-what are you doing?"

"You should see your face, Naya." Kyle shrugged, walking towards the bathroom. He stopped to glare at me. "One would think you didn't sit in this c*Ock a week ago!"

Red passed through my body and stopped at the tip of my ears. "What? How dare you say that?" I looked down at my body. I was still naked. That made me realize how foolish I had sounded.

"You did not sound foolish. He just loves to tease you." Naya beamed. "I love getting attention from him because I know he cares about us. Stop blaming him for everything and out on some clothes! He was just following your lead; you didn't have to make him feel embarrassed."

My eyes widened at Naya's accusations. "I am the one who should feel embarrassed." Strength came to my legs as I found myself reaching out to my already-opened closet. He didn't even have the time to select good clothes for me. I dragged a crop top and pajama bottoms. After putting them on, I threw my blanket over my body so that I wouldn't have to look at him.

The showers in the bathroom kept me awake. It was baffling how we went from sworn enemies to kind mam and omega. I was a little scared. Were we in a hurry?

"s**t the f**k up, Naya. Yes, I know how long you have waited for this. Why don't you enjoy it?"

"It's been a drama here and there. Do you think I deserve it?

I mean, what have I done for him since I came here? What can I offer him?"

"You have a lot of things to bring to the table. You are no longer that fragile girl without the ability to fight. Well, you are still that fragile girl, but you get my point."

I rolled my eyes to the heavens, hoping the goddess would see me and my impending frustration. "I don't see your point, my wolf, so get to your freaking point!"

"Fine. All I am saying is to give Kyle a chance. His wolf must be criticizing him for everything now. You have a lot to offer, which is why I am asking you to give him a second chance. Isn't he trying?"

I tilted my head to remember how hard Kyle was trying. He was just acting naturally. No, he was acting comfortable.

There were no forced smiles or unnecessary laughter to hide his pain and anger. He was just comfortable. "He is trying. He is trying to show me his real self."

"I am glad you are seeing this too." Naya agreed.

"But we are resuming school by tomorrow. What if he goes back to his old ways?"

"Then I know it doesn't have to be your fault." She always had an answer for everything, right? She was never wrong in my eyes. If Naya did not know an answer, she would leave it that way. She never assumed foolishly, unlike I did. Speaking of faults, "When do we get to cremate the Alpha?"

"Maybe by the end of this weeks end. Marley must have been shocked by this, so she might put it off for now until the weekend."

I frowned. "Zeke may refuse."

"He is in no position to refuse. Aloha Storm was her mate; her word is final. What if she said it was his final wish?

Would you know anything about it? She doesn't want an autopsy, so why stretch it? It should be good for us."

I shook my head. It was wrong. "We should not keep the news away from Kyle."

+50 Points

"He may do something bad."

The sheets rolled off me. "What?" I turned to Kyle, who was dressed properly. How long had I been conversing with Naya? "I want to sleep."

Kyle's face held disapproval. "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Then why did I go through the stress of getting you food? You know everyone is trying to put things in order.

That maid left everything to prepare food for you." I eyed him suspiciously. "No, she prepared the food." I pointed at the well-garnished meal. It was even dressed to meet royal demands. "..for you. She would never go through the stress for me." Kyle was by my side in an instant. "They don't treat you well."

I puffed my cheeks. It was too early to tell him my woes. He knew them already. "I thought you knew about it since you joined them to bully me all the time."

Kyle stares into space. "I should make it a rule that only Zeke and I are allowed to bully you and no other person."

"Where would that get me?" I asked curiously.

Kyle smiled. "A lot of places."

It got me flustered. "What do you mean, only you and Zeke?

I hope it's not what I think and won't take me away from my friends."

The look he gave me was enough to send me six feet under. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. "What?"

'You don't have friends, Brawn."

"There you go with me again."

"It fits you in this situation."

"What about Renée?" I will puff like a peacock. "She's my friend too."

Kyle looked away immediately. "About that..."

He was not looking at me at all. It meant he was hiding something. Wait, don't tell me... "Did you ban her from coming into the pack?"

Kyle shrugged. "I have always known she is not a pack member due to her scent. I'm sure you noticed it too, but your tiny mind didn't tell you that shes from the rival pack and can use scentless spray on herself." What? That's not it at all. "You are seeing it the wrong way.

I have explained this to you, and I am sure she has. A lot of people use scentless spray to hide from their boyfriends or even mates. What makes her strange to you?"

"You see? You are too innocent. Funny, she approached the most bullied in school and made you her friend. Didn't you notice?"

I have always noticed her and asked her why she tried so hard to be my friend. If I knew she needed to be respected as a member of her pack, I would have opened up to her.

But how could I open up to her when I wasn't respected in my pack?

We were a mess.
