My Wolf 12
hapter 12 I try to keep my breathing steady. Not wanting to alert Mason to the fact I’m awake or that I’ve seen him. I scrunch my eyes closed, too scared to keep looking at those eyes. Slowly I move my hand to find Theo’s, and when my fingers wrap around his I give him three hard squeezes. He groans on the first squeeze, by the third he’s fully alert. “Jose, what’s wrong?” he asks, sitting up. “There’s someone in here,” I whisper. I feel Theo shift on the bed before the light clicks on. “Where?” he asks. I open my eyes and look into the corner where I’d seen Mason, but he’s no longer there. “He was right there,” I point with a shaky finger. Theo looks puzzled and slightly dazed. As he ‘scans the room. He checks the window and confirms it’s locked, then he checks any wardrobe and bathroom but finds nothing. “Stay here, I’ll be right back,” he gives me a reassuring smile and picks up my room key before leaving. A few tense moments pass before Theo lets himself back into my room. “I think it was a nightmare,” he smiles sympathetically. “It wasn’t, I saw him. It was Mason,” I shake my head. “Mason is sleeping, I just checked. Plus he wouldn’t have been able to get in or out without making a noise,” Theo comes to sit beside me on the bed, he puts an arm around my shoulders and pulls me into his side to offer me comfort. 1 “Then who was it?” I ask meekly. Hating how weak this place is making me feel. “What did you see exactly?” “Not much, I heard them breathing and saw a silhouette, their eyes flashed a blue glow when I looked at them,” explain. “Well that narrows it down to anyone in the realm with a teleporting ability,” he half laughs. “Does everyone do the blue glowy eye thing?” “Yes, we all do the blue glowy eye thing,” he teases. “We all have blue eyes, and they can sometimes glow when we are using power,” “Can Mason teleport?” I ask. “No, it wasn’t Mason,” he says with a sigh and I can hear the slight irritation in his voice. “What’s the deal between you and him?” “Me and Mason… I wish I knew. Imagine this super hot and mysterious guy, he’s a complete asshole to everyone, except you. He has a permanent scowl, but when he looks at you, he smiles and it takes your breath away. If anyone ever says a bad word to you they face his wrath. He talks to you about things he hides from everyone else. You’re the only one he lets see just how broken he is. Whenever you’re alone with him the air feels charged with sexual tension, but he never makes a move. So one day you pluck up the courage to kiss him. And it’s the hottest kiss ever and he’s really into it, but then suddenly he pulls away and spends the next week avoiding you. Then he acts as though it never happened and it’s back to the sexual tension.” he laughs, but it’s a pained laugh. I lean into him a little more, hoping I can give him some of the comfort he gives me. “That’s really tough, have you tried to talk to him about it? 1/2…
