My Mate, The Greek God.

7. A Boy From The Fraternity Pack?

I sit on the edge of the bed, staring at Adonis. The Greek god looks so beautiful in his sleep. He's wasted completely, his long leg falling out of bed. His hair is a total mess, scattered all over his head but it doesn't make him to look any less attractive.

I take Adonis' shoes off, a black sneakers that looks like it has been worn since the beginning of wolfkind (mankind).

I blurt out a laugh when I see the pattern of the socks he's wearing, it looks like a baby socks. Looking closely, another laughter rolls out my chest. Seriously?

Do you know what is written on his patterned baby socks?

Ben 10.

Imagine. Just how unfathomable is this guy's personality? I want to uncover more of this stranger side of him that I somehow find intriguing. He acts all so 'tough guy angry at the world' but now I can't stop myself form forming new judgments about him. Such a grown up dude like him is wearing a Ben 10 socks. Hilarious, isn't he, Lulu?

I can hear her evil chuckles in my head, and it mildly annoys me, I almost regret inviting her to laugh with me. Who even taught this little pervert how to overdo everything?

I don't know for how long I sit on the edge of the bed until Sandra comes into the ward room, freezing right there at the door. Her reaction shifts from a surprised look to a panic!

Oh oh?

I know something is definitely wrong with that expression but before I can make a guess, Lucas follows behind her, entering through the door. The scar above his eyebrows gives him the look of a fierce Alpha.

This is why everyone in our pack house is more afraid of Lucas than my Dad, the Alpha himself.

Oh baby moon goddess! How do I explain this kind of odd situation to him?

"What's a guy doing in here?" Lucas ask, his tone as authoritative as his looks. "Wendy? Will you explain this behavior?"

I swallow and blink, shifting my eyes to Sandra as if she's the candidate that is being asked questions in a job interview.

"Oh, that's just urm, Wendy's maths tutor." Sandra explains nervously, "he's helping her with maths problems. You know she's writing exams for the, urm. . . College application something?"

Lucas looks confused as he step closer to take a good look at sleeping Adonis, "Yeah I know, what I need to confirm right now is his identity. Is he an outsider?" He ask, while I stylishly stretch my arm, pretending to be yawning as I try to cover Adonis' face but my wicked brother gives me a painful flick on the back of my hand and I quickly withdraw. "Sandra, you are not responding to my question. For all I can see, this guy is neither one of our betas or omegas."

Okay Wendy, this is where we have to run for our dear life.

Lulu suggest, but I'm so not a coward like her. When things go South, she goes North. And when things go East for me, I just chase it. Because I'm the badass Wendy!

"Lucas, there's nothing wrong in bringing an outsider to help Wendy with her maths problems. None of the Omegas or Betas in our pack are that good enough in maths."

"You mean you brought him in by yourself, huh? Without discussing with me. How did you even got acquainted with an outsider without the knowledge of your Mate? Is this the obedience and submission you were taught?"

Sandra's face looks very embarrassed by his words, "Don't complicate this matter, Lucas. We need to talk. Outside, please my darling."

My heart is palpitating, I don't like the path that my brother is taking. The part of accusations only leads to more destruction.

No way, I can't just allow Sandra to face the consequences alone.

"I brought him in here because he's my Mate." I make an announcement that makes both Sandra and Lucas to turn their eyes on me.

"You. . . If you lie about this—"

"She's telling the truth. He's her Mate." Sandra says, backing me up.

"So what pack did your Mate comes from? And why don't I know about this?"

This is where my breathing becomes labored, "He's from. . ." Sandra shakes her head negatively as if telling me not to say it, "The Gray wolves pack." I lie.

"Oh really. . . The Gray wolves you say." Lucas comes close to Adonis and I hold my breath as I watch him rolling up Adonis black T-shirt shirt, revealing a tattoo on his well toned abdomen. "This isn't. . . Hold on, what the. . ." He takes a step back as if the sight of the tattoo repulsed him. I look carefully at the tattoos on the Greek god's abdomen which I don't understand at all. It's like so many triangles inside a triangle, with several symbols that for some reason, they looks like mathematical formulas in my eyes.

Isn’t that a square root?

"What the f**k!" My heart jumps. Hearing Lucas cursing out makes me wish I could turn back time to just be a coward and go with Lulu's idea of running away. Damn, we're so going to be roasted. And Sandra might just get swallowed up alive at this rate. "So you brought in a boy from the Fraternity pack? What the f**k, Sandra!"

Before I know it, Sandra is at the mercy of Lucas as he forcefully drag her out through the door along with him.

Horror etch on my face as I expel the air of desperateness from my nostrils. I stand up from the bed immediately and straighten my back.

I have to do something. I can hear Lucas yelling at Sandra, he's not ready to calm down and listen to any explanation. He's allowing his hatred for the Alpha of the Fraternity pack to cloud his mind and judgement.

No, I really have to go out there and make him stop it! Sandra only did what she did in other to help me out.

Balling my fist, I begin to move towards the direction of the door but wait, is there something holding my shirt? Why are my legs the only thing moving, my whole body is like stuck in one place and not following?

I snap my head back and see the hand that is causing me the trouble. Adonis is holding my shirt, his eyes halfway open and he's murmuring out some things I can't even hear or understand.

"Hey, let go." I say, trying to pull my shirt out of his tight grip. He closed his fingers even more tightly, making me feel an overwhelming amount of frustration. Lucas is about to chew Sandra out there! This Greek God wants me to bite off all his fingers.

"Adonis, let go of my shirt! Are you doing this deliberately?"

His eyes open up completely and he looks a little bit tipsy. With a mischievous smirk on his lips, he pull my shirt as he rose up and catch me in his arms, making me to fall hard on his laps.

"Don't interfere. Let them solve their couple problem." Is he f*****g kidding me? What does he even know about Lucas? My brother can be so aggressive, if he hurt Sandra I swear I'll never forgive him.

I don't talk to Adonis but I try to struggle out of his hold to free myself. But my fight doesn't seem to be effective because his big arm do not even budge. He throws his other arm and circle me up completely, pressing me to his body in a way I can't move at all.

Sitting on his laps, I mutter out some profanities under my breath. I really hate him. And I hate this stupid mate bond that makes my heart to flutter even now that Sandra is in trouble.

{Sandra’s P.O.V.}

Lucas doesn't want to listen to me, his judgement is already clouded. I can see that his anger isn't just about the Fraternity pack but the fact that he didn't know how I got acquainted with the son of Alpha Xander.

Well Adonis saved my life from a crazy rogue werewolf when I went out alone into the woods to find some natural herbs for Wendy. This happened only about three months ago, but that's how I got acquainted with Adonis. In return for saving my dignity, I told him I will grant him a wish. Anything that he wants.

And all he asked me is to find him a short term job where he can make a quick money. I gave him my phone number and promised to contact him whenever I do that.

Later when I learn that Wendy is in need of a maths tutor, I remember the boy and I called him, asked if he was good in maths, and it turns out that Maths was his favorite subject in high school.

I never asked why he wanted a quick money but we discussed on phone and negotiated the amount. I paid him half the money even before he started. And after he completes the two weeks, I'll give him the rest.

Of course I have enough money since I am a nurse and Wendy's father pays me decently to run the pack's clinic. This was how it happened. Adonis is not a bad person, but Lucas is never going to allow me a chance to tell him the full story. He's just mad and continues to yell at my face.

At some point, whatever he's saying is just passing through my ears. I'm deaf, I can't hear a word. I suffer from ear ache and sometimes it gets to a point where I lose my hearing.

"Lucas, I can't hear you anymore. My ears, they're hurting me." I tell him.

Lucas stops, catching his breath and looking at me with suspicious eyes. He knows about my ear problem, I've had it ever since I suffered from an ear infection as a teenager. His lips doesn't move anymore. Instead, he takes a step close to me and take my two hands and put up my palms against his chest. I can feel his loud heartbeat and I know he's trying to show me just how much he's hurting.

I didn't mean to make him so mad and angry.

"I made a mistake. I'm so sorry. I just wanted to help Wendy." I let a teardrop to fall out of my eye, I really hate to see him hurting because of me. "I'm sorry, darling."

Lucas press his forehead against mine, his beautiful dark green eyes glows while he's staring down at me so closely. He's breathing hotly. I know I've melted the anger in him, but now I think I've accidentally seduced him.

Oops!

Lucas is a monster in bed that's why the idea of sleeping with him sometimes terrifies me. He can do it for hours and hours without getting tired.

"Can you hear me now?" He ask as he moisten his lips and patiently wait for my answer.

"Yeah. I can hear you."

Lucas put his hand on my behind, squeezing me with a smirk, "Are you busy?"

"No." I say, feeling shy to look at him.

"Then come to my room. I'm going to give you your punishment for making me angry, you naughty little woman." He gently tug at my hair and raises my chin up to look at his smirking face, "how did I teach you to answer me?"

I swallow, trying to hide my blush and embarrassing excitement, "I'll do whatever you say, Master."
