Chapter 249

~Valerie’s POV~

"What?" I mumbled into the couch as I groaned and sat up to look at her.

"Oh, don’t play dumb, girl. The tall one. Black shirt, silver streak in his hair, killer jawline. Looked like he just stepped out of a fantasy novel."

Before I could say anything, Isla walked out from the kitchen with wide, wild eyes.

"Wait. He kissed you?"

I fell back and covered my face with a throw pillow.

This was going to be a long night.

"Oh, come on, give us some good gist," Astraea chimed, practically bouncing on the edge of her seat. "Emerald has finally gotten herself a lover. I almost thought you’d graduate without finding one," Astraea said in one go.

"Guys," I mumbled through the fabric, "can we not make this a thing?"

"Oh, it’s already a thing," Isla said, crossing her arms with a grin. "Especially if he kissed you in public. That means he’s either bold... or serious."

"Or both," Astraea added, nudging me with her foot.

Just then, the door clicked open and Valerie stepped in, kicking off her shoes and looking more relaxed than I’d seen her in a while. But that didn’t last long.

"Oh hey, Val," Isla said with a sly smile. "Just in time. We were talking about Emerald and her mysterious new love interest."

Valerie’s brow lifted in interest as she set her bag down. "Oh? Who’s the lucky guy?"

I groaned again. "She’s only interested because it takes the heat off her for once."

Valerie blinked. "Hey! That’s not true... okay, maybe a little."

"You literally kissed your mates in the hallway," I said, not even bothering to sugarcoat it.

Her eyes widened. "Wait... you saw that?"

"Mates?" Isla gasped. "Hold on, hold on. Who and who? You’re finally talking to them?"

"Oh, she’s doing more than talking, alright," I added with a smirk. "Trust me."

Valerie’s cheeks flushed immediately. "You guys are the worst."

"Point of correction, missy," Astraea said dramatically, "we are the best. This is bonding, babes."

The room was filled with laughter and playful teasing, bouncing around like little sparks of magic. It felt... cosy, relaxing, like a moment of peace that none of us knew we had been craving.

Then, like wolves smelling blood, Isla narrowed her eyes at Astraea. "Alright, your turn, sunshine. What about your mate, or should I say, mates?"

Astraea didn’t flinch. In fact, she looked downright smug. "I haven’t met my fated mate yet," she said casually, "but I am currently screwing with someone."

"Someone?" Isla arched a brow. "Meaning... singular?"

Astraea’s grin stretched. "Well... two, actually."

Silence filled the room.... I mean total silence.

Valerie and I blinked at her in unison.

"What?" I asked slowly.

"Wait, a minute," Valerie echoed. "You’re screwing with two guys or you’re screwing two guys?"

"Screwing with, screwing them, anyone," Astraea replied, completely unbothered.

"Do we know them?" Isla asked, her eyes wide and gleaming with anticipation.

Astraea glanced between us before speaking like it was the most casual thing in the world. "Well... yeah. One of them is Erik."

Valerie choked. "What?"

"Oh my moon," Isla gasped. "Erik? As in Erik?"
