The sexy man

Colin

"Get up."

"No."

"Come on, C, you can't stay in bed all day. We are all going hunting and you should come with us." Tala nudges the covers, but I hold on tightly.

I have been in bed all day and it is for the best. I missed breakfast and lunch, and it is almost time for dinner.

"I just want to go home. I made a mess last night, and everyone is probably laughing at me.

I roll over and try to wrap my arms around the pillow, and she uses this opportunity to get the covers off me.

"No one gives a shit."

Tala was not there last night. "Where were you last night?"

If she was there, she would have dragged me away before I made a fool of myself.

"With Brad," she winks.

Who the hell is Brad?

"The guy I went to, The one from the moonshine pack. " She tells me that I would even know who he is.

"Okay, so Is he the one? "

She rolls her eyes. "You know, I am not looking for the one. He was just some guy and he was a master in bed," she winks.

I look away from her.

I felt the thud on the bed. "What is it, C? You are acting weird."

I don't even know what is wrong.

I want to stop feeling this way.

I don't want to feel like this anymore. I don't have a damn clue what is happening.

"Get up and get dressed. Let's go hunting with all the packs. It will make you feel better."

Would it make me feel better?

I don't know if it would.

"Come on, C, this was supposed to be a fun trip. I don't like the way you feel. I wish I could make you feel better. "

I let out a sigh and she smiled, knowing that I was about to give in. I don't want to add Tala's worry to the list of people that are worried about me.

"You're hungry, right?" she wags her lashes, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

"Very. "

She jumps up from the bed, and I watch her as she opens up my box and pulls out a pair of shorts and a shirt.

"Come on, stick with me, and we will have a whole deer before the night ends." I take the clothes from her and slip them on. The shirt is loose and I look more like a child wearing an adult shirt than a man. I pulled the side straps on the shorts tight, and they fit me well. I stand silently as she smiles at me.

"Come on, time to have some fun," she dragged me out of the room.

We are in the woods again, and the one thing that sticks in my mind is last night with Lowell. I can't stop thinking about him and the look he gave me before I ran away. This place suddenly seems like our place, and it shouldn't be because he is not mine.

My dad and brother are with us. Everyone from our pack is close, but my eyes can't seem to look away from Lowell and Ashina on the other side, so far away but almost within reach.

It's like my spirit is pulling me to him, like a moth attracted to the flame, and I want to go to him and never leave.

"Do you always know when you touch your mate? " I ask Tala even though she couldn't possibly know that.

"Did you feel something last night?" she asks curiously.

I didn't even touch Ashina. The only person I touched was Lowell, and she doesn't know that.

I don't know if it is something I want to talk about. For the first time in my life, I want to keep something from Tala. I want it to be between us.

I want it to be a secret.

"For Ash?"

I see the smile as it builds up on her face and I realize my mistake. I called her Ash.

"Ash huh?" she smiles.

I shook my head, "I mean Ashina, shut up."

She laughs at my embarrassment, and I look away from her and to the shadow pack. Only this time, Lowell is watching me and that smirk is on his face. He is making me so nervous and I don't even know why. His eyes are not as bright as last night, but they are still blue. They are the only things I can see in the crowd of people. He is like a light that shines, and it seems like I am the only one that can see that. It feels like this is another secret that we share. How special he is.

"He is so fucking hot," Tala groans, and I see that she is looking at him too. "He keeps looking here. Why do you think so?"

I forced my eyes away from him and turned to my best friend, "I don't know, do you want to ask him?"

She lets out a deep sigh, "I should see what all the hype about him is."

I furrow my brows, "Hype?"

"You know, he is a beast in bed. The girls that I talked to last night all talked about how he leaves them wanting more, but the rumor is that he never fucks anyone more than once. "

"You want to fuck him?"Jealousy seeps through me as I ask that question. I'm already jealous of all those girls he fucked and left wanting more, but it's still a dumb question.

"Who wouldn't? Have you seen the man?"

I roll my eyes, but I can't help but look at him again. He is dressed in only a pair of black shorts. They are so short that they show his legs, and what a beautiful pair of legs they are. My eyes travel up his strong thighs to his abs and arms, which seem to be even more defined in the bright lights of the moonlight. I've never seen such a sexy man before in my life.

Ashina and Lowell are next to each other, and even though I want it to be her, he is the only one I can't stop longing for.

What the fuck is wrong with me?
