Stacey's POV

"Alpha, he's fine!" The doctor reports.

We're all currently at the school infirmary, Dylan brought Josh here immediately he passed out... and we quickly followed up.

The doctor has just done a few check ups on him.

"Then why did he pass out?" Miss Markus asked.

She's sitting next to Josh on the bed, holding his hand.

"He seems to have been under a lot of pressure lately and he doesn't get enough rest... especially last night!"

Miss Markus frowns and stares at Josh, I guess she's wondering what he's been stressing about.

"Oh, that's true! Josh couldn't sleep all night last night!" Dylan said.

He couldn't sleep? Could it be that my brother have got an incurable disease that is bothering him?

"Why couldn't he sleep?" Miss Markus asked.

"Stacey!" He replies simply.

"Me?!" I asked with a confused frown.

Everyone too is surprised... I guess they're all wondering why Josh couldn't sleep because of me too.

"He was worried last night when he knew you and Ray... " He coughs lightly. "... Mated!"

I gasped, I turn to Ray with a death glare... I grab his ear and pulls it down, bending him to my level.

"Baby, why are you pulling my ear... It hurts!"

"Ok, I've had enough! I wanted to ask you privately before, but not anymore... I want an answer right here!"

"Ok, ok, but let go of my ear first!" He said pleadingly.

I let go of his ear and place my hands on my waist.

"How come everyone knows about us having sex last night?! How come there's no privacy here?!"

"Calm down, baby, they didn't know we had sex they...."

"They didn't know?" I cut him off. "But everyone is talking about it and I have been receiving strange looks too!"

I can feel the anger building up in me bit by bit... I mean, even my brothers have to know about it too... how embarrassing!

"I'm starting to regret ever agreeing to any of this! I hate this place!" I said angrily and I heard series of whimpers.

Sad whimpers from them but I ignore it... at this point I'm too angry to care about their feelings.

The doctor clears his throat.

"Alpha, the patient will wake up soon... I have other things to do, if you'd excuse me!"

Ray gives him a small nod and he leaves quickly.. then there's a small awkward silence until Ray breaks it.

"Baby, they didn't know we had sex last night they only felt that I have marked you!"

I scoff.

"As if I believe that!"

"Stacey, we just know..... "

"Don't say it, Dylan!" I cut Dylan off. "Hearing you say it makes it even more embarrassing!"

Miss Markus gets up and comes to my side, she takes my hands in hers.

"Stacey, it's true, we didn't know you both had sex we just guessed"

I raised an eyebrow, signaling her to elaborate since I don't kinda get what she meant.

"We only felt that he's marked you.. and everyone knows that marking usually comes along with mating. Look.... "

She tilts her head and shows me her mark.

"I was marked while mating with my mate, same goes with Jessy.. that's how we guessed that you and Ray had mated!" She explained.

"Then how did you knew he's marked me?"

"He's the future alpha King, we usually feel our Alpha's emotions.. like when he's sad, angry and happy... We felt his extreme joy last night, Zeus was howling happily in the pack-link last night and that's how we knew he's marked you!"

Oh! Now I get it... But it's still not right.

"Does that mean if we have sex again y'all will also know about it?"

They all shake their heads and I frown.

"we won't know because he's not marking you again.. so now your sex life is gonna be private and only known between you guys!"

I shuts my eyes and release a long, relieved sigh.

I can't have my brothers knowing I'm having sex with my mate everytime.. else I can't face them.

It'll be so awkward everytime we meet each other... take Josh's reaction as an example.

Dylan clears his throat and throws his arm around my shoulder.

"You don't have to be shy around me, I'm a very understanding bro!"

I elbow his ribcage and he whines. Just then, we hear Josh cough... Miss Markus quickly helps him up and hands him a glass of water.

He gulps it down and look around, his gaze lands on me and he stares at me blankly.. his mouth slightly open.

Unconsciously, I hide behind Ray... Ray growls warningly and Josh look away.

"Josh, are you ok?" Miss Markus asked him.

"Y-yeah!" He replies in a short stutter.

A warning bell rings, telling all students outside to get in their classes now.

"Karl, we're gonna be late, let's go!" Jessy said and pulls Karl out with her.

Henry and Jerome faces us.

"Alpha, we'll be heading to class too!" Jerome said.

Ray simply nods and they both slips out.

Now it's remaining Ray, miss Markus, me and my brothers.

"Stacey, go to class I wanna speak with Ray!" Josh said.

I frown and look at Ray in worry, he smiles at me.

"We just wanna talk" I hear his voice in my head.. then I realize he's mind-linking.

Dylan studies my expression and burst into laughter.

"Wait, Stacey, don't tell me you're worried about Ray staying alone with Josh" he said.

"Huh?" I frown.

He puts his hand on my shoulder.

"My dear sister, you should be worried about Josh and I instead!"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean, Josh and I can't even stand to fight against Ray.. he'll be the one to woop our ass without breaking a sweat!" He said.

I chuckle as I realize what he meant. Ray turns to me, he leans down and pecks my lips softly.

From my peripheral view, I see Josh look away with a disgusting expression.

"Go to class!"

I nod and look at them.

"You guys shouldn't hurt yourselves!"

"Sis, we're just gonna talk like civilized adults!" Dylan says.

Ray gives me a reassuring smile.. Miss Markus gets up too and walks out with me.

But we part ways as I head towards my class.
