Safe. That was the first word that entered my mind when I woke up. I reached for my pillow but froze when I realized that my hands were trapped. I opened my eyes and found Aidan sleeping on my left while Sebastian was on my right. Both alphas were lying facing me as they forced themselves next to me on the bed. And they were holding each of my hand.

Just when I was about to wonder how this became possible with a single bed, I realized that Sebastian moved his bed next to mine although judging by their positions, it must have been very uncomfortable. Yet, they stayed and were not letting go.

“No…” Aidan whispered in his sleep when I tried to pull my hand from his grip.

“Damn it. This is my first time having my own bed in years and you giants are stealing it from me,” I said instead, desperately ignoring my pounding chest at the sight of them like this.

Aidan’s suit jacket was on the chair. His crisp white shirt had traces of blood. And I knew that blood scent. I could detect it anywhere now after sparring with Satan. That blood was his.

But why?

I checked myself and realized I was still wearing my clothes from last night. My body and mana were fully charged with them beside me as if all of yesterday’s exhaustion was just a nightmare. I used my mana to untangle myself from their grip.

I walked out of the bed like my ass was on fire and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on my heated face while wondering why I didn’t attack them when now was my golden chance since both of them were asleep and vulnerable.

I should have woken them up with a punch to get even with the likes of them who made my life miserable for the past years.

So why didn’t I?

I shook my head and stared at my reflection on the mirror. “This is just a tactic. You’ve been through this before, Ari. They are just waiting for you to bite into their trap. You can’t be weak. You can’t fall for it again.”

I took a quick bath and left the bathroom in baggy pants and a shirt. Sebastian was already awake. He looked like he had been pacing the room back and forth and only stopped when I came out.

‘Good morning.”

I raised a brow. This was new. We never greeted each other. But because of what he did for me last night, I felt compelled to answer. “Morning.”

Whether it was a good morning or not depended on what he would say next.

I casually walked towards the table, grabbed the apple there, and sat on the wooden chair.

“There is something I think you should know, Ari.”

Sebastian was dead serious. And I wasn’t quite sure what to do when he was like this. It was the first time he was decent enough to attempt a proper conversation with me. His tone was soft and it worried me. He also called me by my name. It was either he was sick or he was up to something.

What was it now? When I checked, my glamour was still up. Did it slip away while I was unconscious? Was he going to threaten me with it?

“Get on with it,” I said and bit my apple, trying to pretend that I wasn’t worried.

“I like you.”

I continued munching on my apple. I needed to keep eating so I would have the strength to survive Satan today. When Sebastian didn’t say anything more, I nodded and said, “Oh. I see. Okay.”

“Okay?” He plopped down on another chair, facing me. “That’s it? Just like that?”

If I didn’t strengthen my glamour, Sebastian would have heard my pulse racing. If there wasn’t a distance between us, he would have felt my body burning hot. If he didn’t look rattled, he would have noticed that I almost dropped my apple and that never happened before. I’d never dropped food before. That was how much I cherish them over anything, over people, especially. But I almost did.

Because of those three words that I would never have expected from someone like him.

Sebastian delivered each word as if he was done fighting it, like he no longer cared whether I was a guy or not. There was acceptance and vulnerability in his eyes. And he was letting me see them. For a stubborn alpha like him, admitting that he was into another alpha must have taken massive courage. It also meant swallowing his pride as he waited for my response.

I could now understand why he finished the run with me on his back last night, no longer caring what the students would think of as he helped me out. I was used to the rumors. He wasn’t.

“What else do you want to hear from me? Thank you? Look. You’re not the first alpha to say that to me, Sebastian.”

I didn’t know what to say and so I answered without thinking. My brain was muddled.

Sebastian took a sharp breath. “What the fuck? There are more? Does that mean we are all gays here?”

“Just you all.” I coughed. Why was finishing an apple so difficult this morning? “The last time I checked, I’m still straight.”

I bit my lower lip to refrain myself from smiling when I saw how his face fell as he uttered, “Oh. Of course. You even have Dani.”

I did receive indecent proposals from alphas around here. Some kept slipping their contact and room numbers in my bag, promising me wealth although when I flaunted Aidan’s black card, it didn’t happen again. Stupid alphas. I could get anything with the prince’s card. I doubt they could give me even an eighth of what Aidan’s black card could provide me.

“You don’t mind?”

It was getting harder and harder to fight back my smile. And I never smiled at the alphas. “That you’re gay?”

“Yeah. And that I like you.”

I stood up so he wouldn’t notice how my hand slightly trembled as I pretended to stare at the life-sized mirror in a corner. “No. I mean I can sort of understand. Damn. I really look hot. I’m likeable. So, I get you, Sebastian. Really.”

And then I put on my shoes real quick and sped away like a coward.

When I was sure I wasn’t being followed by him, I stopped and held my throbbing chest. Of all the things I expected Sebastian Harley to say to me, those words didn’t even cross my mind. That was a word attack. And I couldn’t say I wasn’t hit.
