Lyan
I was sweaty, but satisfied by the time we left the room. My pussy throbbed from how much we'd done it, but a pleasant feeling had enveloped me all over.
I smiled at Orus as he carried me like a princess, my legs too weak to move by themselves. I giggled as he carried me. I really loved to be treated like a princess.
Right when I was having the most fun and we were reaching our dorm my whole world imploded with a simple question from Orus.
" Where were you last night?"
I paled the moment I heard him and my mind started working at a thousand miles per hour, trying to come up with a convincing lie, but I had nothing.
" Emm..." I stalled for as long as I could, pretending I was thinking, which I was, just not about what he was expecting.
" Don't you trust me?" Orus's sad eyes made me flinch. I wanted him to smile. I wanted to trust him, I really did, but the suspicions were playing on repeat on my head, whispering they shouldn't know.
" Of course I do. I just can't tell you right now"
" Why not? I won't tell"
I looked at Orus, his eyes filled with unshed tears, as if I didn't trust him, and my heart cracked a little.
" Do you promise me you won't tell anyone at all?"
Orus's eyes got wide with surprise. He immediately nodded, afraid that I would change my mind, which if I was been honest was a very real possibility. I didn't even know why I was telling him this secret, but something in his eyes told me he wasn't the one my killer had talked about. I wanted to try trusting for once in my life.
" I went out with Ruan to get...."
I hadn't even begun telling the story when I was cut off by a growl. Orus's eyes were red as he looked at me with a derranged smile and ran away, straight into our dorm, gently putting me on the floor before running away.
" What are you doing? I didn't even tell you the whole story"
I chased after Orus, who had stormed inside and was now pounding on Ruan's door with a face that said he was ready for anything, that anything including murder.
" Ruan! Come out right this fucking second!"
Orus's fists found the door and he started hitting it, trying to take it down, but it wouldn't budge.
" What do you want?" Ruan came out crossing his arms.
Orus's eyes shone when he looked at him and then he smiled and punched Ruan in the face.
" Stop it!" I screamed but no one listened to me. Orus kept hitting Ruan, breaking his nose before Ruan realized what was going on and started fighting back.
Ruan punched Orus back and he fell backwards, his nose broken too. Orus didn't even look at the damage before he snapped his nose back into place without as much as a grimace.
" You're dead!" Orus launched at Ruan, but he dodged in the last second, Orus's fist passing by his now healed nose.
I stared at the fight in astonishment, unable to do anything. I had no idea what had set Orus off, but he was pissed as fuck. His face was contorted with rage as he glared at Ruan, going at him again.
When Orus started bitting Ruan on the neck, drawing blood that pooled underneath him I decided it had to stop right that instant.
I gathered my shadows to pull them apart, using all my strength, but something pushed me back, throwing me to the floor.
" What are you doing to my mate?" Orus growled and grabbed Ruan by the collar, holding him in place as he bit into his ear.
Ruan twisted in a second and went on top. He stared at Orus with hatred as power gathered on his hands. Ruan's smile was derranged as he looked at Orus and pulled his hand closer, aiming for his eyes. Orus thrashed under him trying to free himself but Ruan was too strong.
I watched in horror as Ruan pulled his hand closer, unable to do anything at all. Panic gathered in my stomach and I ran, not thinking about anything at all.
I placed myself between them and opened my arms just as Ruan pulled his hand away, annoyed.
" What were you trying to do?!" I screamed at Ruan, tears streaming down my face. I had almost lost someone I loved just now. I shivered thinking about how close I had come to losing someone I loved as much as anything else in the whole world.
" I wasn't going to kill him!" Ruan made a face of disdain as he got up and away from us.
I turned around and hugged Orus, relief flooding my system. I was so glad he was okay that I didn't even notice the blood pouring out of his face and into the now crimson floor.
" Are you okay?" I whispered into his ear as I hugged him tightly.
" I'm fine"
Tears were streaming down my face as I glared at him.
" Why did you do that?" My voice was broken as I asked.
" I'm a jealous bitch. I thought you knew. I'll kill anyone that touches my mate"
My heart warmed up hearing him say that. He was mine and I was his. I smiled at him warmly as my whole body felt ingravid. His words were better than any kind of drug. They got me high and made me want to keep living.
I stared at him with a silly smile on my lips as I truly realized what he has said. What did he mean touch my mate? Ruan had never touched me. My face lit with the realization. Orus had misunderstood my words and had thought that I had had an affair.
" It wasn't like that" I smiled.
Orus tilted his head as he looked at me, confusion written all over his face. I chuckled. I loved how all his emotions were always written on his face for anyone to read.
" He just helped me with something"
" With what?" Orus didn't sound exactly convinced as he asked.
" Resuscitating my family" before Orus could ask questions and I lost my nerve I continued, speaking fast." I heard there was a gem that could bring back the dead and I've been looking for it all this time. When I finally found it I couldn't pull it out and Ruan helped me out. I also discovered that the gem was a fake and that it never could bring my family back in the first place, son now I'm heartbroken. Am I missing anything else?" Orus's face was filled with confusion as I continued, wanting to take the pressure off my chest. " Oh, and by the way there's an evil organization that also wants the gem. They're the ones who killed me"
I smiled sadly as I watched Orus, eyeing his every reaction. Would he believe me? Would he get mad at me for lying for so long? Or would he hug me and tell me everything would be alright? My heart beated with hope as I waited for his answer, my whole world resting in his hands. I didn't know what I'd do if he told me he hated me. God, I hoped I never had to hear those words coming from his mouth.
Orus's face filled with anger as I told the story, and by the end he was fuming, his eyebrows furrowed and his sharp canines making a dangerous expression as he looked at me with gleaming eyes. My heart sank as I looked at his expression. I knew it. He was mad at me. I smiled sadly as I looked at him. I really would have loved it if he had truly wanted me.
" Who are they?"
Among all the questions Orus could have asked that was the one I least expected. I tilted my head as Ruan came up behind me and sat on the floor.
Orus stopped focusing on me for a second to look at him with a murderous gaze.
" Relax. I'm not into girls" Ruan crossed his legs, as if that could prove anything." Do you want to know why I listened to her?"
Orus growled but shut his mouth and listened.
" I help her and she spys on her dad. That was the deal" Ruan spoke in a soft voice, looking around, making sure there was no one and speaking in a soft tone, afraid of something.
" Is that true?"
" It is"
Orus visibly relaxed when he heard me confirm Ruan's words.
" Sorry for earlier" Orus growled the apology.
I smiled looking at them. They might just turn out to be friends after all.
" Don't sweat it. It wasn't as if I was going to kill you or anything"
I glared at Ruan before giving my hand to Orus. Ruan might not had tried to kill, but he sure as hell had wanted to harm him a great deal. That was for sure.
" So...." Orus closed his eyes, as if he was processing everything and putting his ideas into place before seeing the grand picture. " Who are the ones that killed you?" Orus's voice carried an edge as he asked the same question he had already asked.
" I don't know" I lied, because anything was better than having my guys suspect each other, even if I myself was the first one to raise my eyebrows in suspicion.
Orus gritted his teeth, but reluctantly let it go.
" Did you get it at least?" Orus's new question didn't bother me as much, so I decided to tell the truth.
" Yes and no"
Orus tilted his head as I glared at Ruan. He was the cause why I hadn't gotten the gem.
" Are you sure you're not into girls?" Orus's voice was ice cold as he glared at Ruan, hatred in his eyes.
" I only like one person and that isn't this little girl"
Orus growled and smirked.
" So.... You like the ruler of your realm. How is that of using a daughter to spy on her dad going?"
Ruan clenched his teeth and got up.
" I'll talk again when you aren't a dick, so never"
Orus snorted, clearly not caring, and hugged me tightly, his eyes never leaving Ruan, who had walked up to another wall and was now sitting on the floor looking at his nails. His arms brought me warmth as I held onto them, my eyes this close to shedding tears. My heart warmed up again as I realized he did love me. He had never been mad at me.
" Could you start again?"
I looked at Orus, trying to convey all my feelings for him with my eyes and nodded. Right now I would do anything for him, including telling him the story of how I'd lost my parents.
I started again from the beginning, telling him evey little detail until the sun set. By then Mark and Jack were still nowhere to be seen and if I was telling the truth it kind of hurt. It had been fine when I was trying to get rid of them to explore and find the gem, but now that I didn't need them to be away it broke my heart to see they weren't by my side.
I pushed those emotions down as I continued telling Orus the whole story, the truth and the secrets finally coming out as Ruan stood in the back, eyes and ears alert to a danger I didn't even notice.
I answered all of Orus's questions as we eventually moved into the room and laid on the bed, our bodies mere inches away. I held onto him, Fluffy was nowhere to be seen, as I spoke, the words that I had kept locked up coming out like a waterfall.
As I closed my eyes I could've sworn I saw a shadow by my window. My heart began racing when Orus too looked there. We both stared at the same spot in the window until the feeling of being spyed on was gone. After shaking my head I continued, telling him all the truth I could tell.
At some point during the night, when we were still talking, Fluffy appeared and nuzzled against me. I hugged him as I kept talking, looking at the door evey few minutes hoping Mark and Jack would came back, but they didn't.
It wasn't until the next day that I saw them again and by then my suspicions were all but confirmed.
