Pups

RAQUEL’S POV

I heard the whistling of someone approaching the room. I had thought it was Leo, but when the person emerged, I couldn’t help but stare in embarrassment. A stranger 1 didn’t know from Adam, staring at my naked body. That wasn’t even the most embarrassing part. I was cuffed to the bed, in a very, very embarrassing position

I looked downwards, my cheeks burning red. Leo was going to pay for this. The man kept staring at me with an expression that I could not fathom

“Are you going to go away! Or you’re going to just keep standing there and make me regret my life” I asked and a playful smile appeared on his lips, Did I say something funny!

He walked up to me and threw the duvet over my body, then broke the cuffs. “Must have been having a lot of fun yeah? By this time he was sitting at the edge of the bed, while I moved to the headboard as though I wanted to become one with it. The duvet covering every part of my body, obviously, except for my head

“Who are you?” I had to ask. Although, the way he had casually walked in, and sat on

n the bed, gave me a hint that he was no stranger to this house. He didn’t respond to my question, rather he just kept staring at my face as though he was studying my features. The playful smile still lingering on his lips

He was good looking. One thing I figured about Werewolves was that they all looked good. Both the men, the women, the kids, the oldies, be it whosoever. They all looked amazing. “Who are you?” I asked for the second time and he still didn’t respond. 1 creased my brows into a grown and decided not to ask again and just stare back

After about five minutes of a staring contest, I blinked and he began to laugh. “I won” he said cheerfully and I watched in amusement.

“I won this just proves that I’m the champion. The unbeatable. I went up against the Lana of the fang clan and I won. This feels great” 1 was beyond confused. Do people just behave like this? Or could it be the influence of something elser

“I am Collins by the way. Leo’s best friend, although he might say otherwise, but I don’t care, ha–ha Okay..at least we were heading somewhere. “I must say, you look hotter than and way prettier than Simone described. What a makeover he continued, still showing his dentals. I gave a sarcastic smile but I don’t think he noticed

“Okay Collins, as obvious as it is. Leo un’t here, so perhaps you might want to excuse yourself” I suggested but he had other things in mind. “Oh no hottie, I would like to stay and have a chat with you. The kids. Where are they? I didn’t have to give a verbal response. My facial expression said it all

“Oh! With the recent happenings I don’t expect that you would want to trist me with that kind of information unless you’re foolish and gullible..- he paused after those words and studied my face for a moment Are you foolish and gullible? Whatt Why would you ask that kind of a question 10 a person? I was still in my thoughts about what sort of attributes he possessed when he spoke again

“Okay, I take it that you are not pleased with my question. Perhaps you should not answer it, if that makes you feel bener. Although You don’t exactly look foolish, but you know.we can’t always judge a book by its covers” All I could say was “Oh!” He was definitely under the influence of something, but I read somewhere that Werewolves couldn’t get high

‘Oh they can. That person lied. But this guy isn’t high though. I think that’s his nature or something Keira Informed, but it wasn’t much of a useful information in this situation

“Collins, I need to put on a dress. I have somewhere to be” Did I! No. I just wanted him out of the mom

“Getting dressed in my presence should not be so much of a big deal now, should it! I’ve seen your naked body and I can still vividly remember every freaking detail like the little scar on your left thigh – He was really good at making me speechless, but my expressions, I don’t think anyone can stop me from expressing my thoughts and emotions through my face–ols! I take it that you don’t like that statement. Sorry! But you get the point anyway. So feel free dear Luna”

“I am calling the guards right away if you do not leave My voice sounded a hundred percent threatening. “Come on dear Lana, how do you think got in here in the first place! I am the best friend to the Alpha, remember? Or maybe only sounded threatening to my ears

“Well I don’t give a shit if you’re the Alpha’s best friend or brother or even the Alpha himself. Just fucking leave. 1 need to get dressed” this time, it was in a yell. A yell of frustration and irritation. He was such a creep

“Easy now dear Luna I was only trying to be friendly and you are trying to draw us unnecessary attention”

“Maybe if you’ld just act like a normal human would and get the fuck out of my bedroom, I wouldn’t be yelling” I pointed out

True, but Fm not a human, so why should I act like one. And I don’t exactly see you as dumb ass, but your door is broken. I could easily peep” Oh God! I don’t want to comunit murder. Who is this forsaken bastard?

“Didn’t your mom teach you manners? Don’t you have a sense of decency? Why can’t you? Was was he was he crying! Oh my God! Yes! He was crying, I mean real tears. I have never seen a grown mans shedding real tears in all my years of existence, literally. And I knew that whatever made a grown man shed tears was definitely something deep

“Tin. I’m shy..why are you crying! did did 1 say something did I say something wrong?” I stuttered, not knowing the right words to say, “You made mention of my mother. I didn’t grow up to know her, as a matter of fact she she died giving birth to me” his head was bent downwards while he tried to wipe off the line tear that kept rolling down his check

“You reminded me of her” My palms flew to my mouth almost immediately and I stared at him, guilt eating me up

“..I didn’t know, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry” I apologized from the inner depths of my heart. I lost a mother, and I knew just how much pain one would feel. Talk about not even getting to know her. Crowing up without her. Must have been really difficult. Instantly, I regretted saying those things to him. But not growing up with a mother doesn’t mean one has to be shitty towards others you know? Keira said and yes, she was right about that. But I believe the reason he was acting that way was because he had no mother to teach him how to be a gentleman. That is definitely not an excuse Raquel she pointed out and 1 sighed.

Looking up to him to tender another apology, I found him smiling ear to ear. Seeing the surprised and confused look on my face, he bursted out laughing

to see if I missed anything

“What’s going on!” I asked, still trying to wrap my head around this to see

“You bought that? Oh my fuck! Tam such a good actor. Do you think I should change my career into..?” I didn’t let him finish, Staying in the same room as this guy sure as hell would drive me Insane. I wrapped the duvet around my body and walked to the wardrobe to pick up another dress, seeing that Leo ruined the first one. After selecting the dress, I went to the bathroom to get into it

Up until this day, I still don’t know the reason Leo did not have a walk in closet. Collins watched me go about my business without saying any more words and I couldn’t be more grateful. By the time I emerged from the bathroom, I found him by the dresser, checking out my skin care products

“Looking spectacular dearest Luna” I chose to ignore that and walk out of the room, but I bumped into Leo at the door. He looked ured and exhausted, but upon setting his eyes on Collin, everything change. He looked surprised, and at the same time, tensed up. Collin raised his head and as soon as their eyes met, his lips curved to a knowing sinile. One that, from the look of things, Leo didn’t like
