Royal Academy: The Red Wolf Clan

Chapter 11

Rosalie's POV

The twins look up from their spot infront the storage barn just as a black SUV drives out the driveway. Gigi nudges me with her shoulder and I nod my head.

"There goes your future father in law Rosie. Did you make a good first impression?! Gigi snickers and then shuffles to the side when my arm stretches out to smack her.

"Salazar Kade is a ruthless man. His son Sebastian made quarter back over Lance Delgado at tryouts. I didn't know he had any siblings " Caleb speaks up and Gigi and I turn our heads at the information. Liam shoves his hand into the bag of chips on his lap then takes a swig of the beer in his other hand.

"Lance and Orion were at the campfire together. I doubt he didn't have a clue he was Sebastian's brother" Liam says and I furrow my brows when Gigi moves past me to grab a sandwich off the plate across from us.

"Half brother" Caleb says and I look up just as Gigi freezes, her sandwich stills mid air from her open mouth.

"Half brother?" I ask and Caleb looks at us like we grew two heads.

"It's very obvious. Sebastian and Orion are polar opposites in features. Sebastian is the carbon copy of Alpha Salazar. Orion probably looks alot like his mother because I don't see any resemblance" Caleb swats at Liam's hand as he tries to sneak the last sandwich. Liam rolls his eyes and then grabs the sandwich straight out of Caleb's hand while pushing to his feet to run for dear life.

"They do remember they left more back in the kitchen right?" I ask and Gigi merely shakes her head as she looks at her brothers wrestle on the grass for the now smashed excuse for a sandwich.

"I seriously hope my fated mate isnt anything like those two. I swear I'll kick his ass if he becomes their best friend. I hope they hate his guts!" Gigi groans when the twins suddenly strip off their tshirts and start circling each other while slamming their fists on their chests like apes.

"I'll pray to the goddess you're both reborn as Apes in your next life!!" Gigi shouts over to them causing them to pause and then burst out in fits of laughter.

"You'll be jealous of us still Gigi! No amount of prayer can help you in any lifetime!" Liam screams when his last word was followed by Gigi's boot barely missing his head. The other boot goes flying towards Caleb who shifts and catches it before forming a 'T' with his hands.

"I didn't say anything! Why am i being assaulted?!" he throws the boot back which Gigi catches with ease before throwing it towards Liam at lightening speed. Liam dodges and then rushes towards his sister. Soon enough, both were trading punches and kicks, all of which were equally deflected. Caleb walks over to sit next to me as Gigi and Liam continue to go at each other.

"Are you sure you and that guy are twins? I feel like he and Gigi are the ones born of the same sac" I say with a chuckle while Caleb makes a playful gagging noise.

"Let's not speak of sacks please. Gigi already says the grossest things when we're eating" Caleb warns before smiling and shaking his head looking at his siblings banter. I sigh loudly and he nudges me with his shoulder.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asks and I lean my head on his arm.

"I don't like the vibe I got from Orion's father. The man creeps me out but at the same time, I want to rip his head off for the way he spoke about his own son" Caleb chuckles and I lift my head off his arm to look at him.

"What's so funny?

"The fact that this is the first time I've ever heard you defend a guy who isn't me or Liam. Should I switch to big brother mode?" When I widen my eyes at his words he laughs again.

"You'll be eighteen this year. Your first shift and the possibility of finding your fated mate. Maybe it's...." his words drift off when a nurse comes rushing from the medical wing. We both stand as she stops infront of us with a worried look on her face.

"The young man says he's leaving! He's demanding we let him leave the clinic!"

Orion's POV

I pull out the needle from my left hand and wince when blood seeps out of the access point at my wrist. I place my right hand over the spot. A warmth flows around the spot and the small bruise disappears just as I hear the door to my room close.

"Holy s**t he just hocus pocused himself!" a very lean young woman with wavy gold hair said while bouncing up and down on her feet said to Rosalie who was watching me with her eyes wide. A pair of almost identical men stood behind Rosalie, looking shocked as well but also trying to maintain their composure.

I swing my feet off the bed and stand, only to sit back down on the mattress when the floor seemed to slip beneath my feet. I shake my head a bit and massage my temple with my hand. I feel her before I actually see her step infront of me. I look up and my eyes zoom in on her golden ones. She opens her mouth to say something but I raise a hand to stop her.

"I'm leaving. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise" I say with finality and I have to look up when she doesn't immediately refute my words. Her hands are now folded over her chest and she's looking at me as though giving me a chance to take back what I just said. The bouncy one skips over and almost sits on me in her attempt to sit beside me. A low collective growl behind me has me turning my head to see the guys watching me like I should watch my next move.

"I was sitting here first by the way. They invaded my space" I say while motioning to Rosalie and her bubbly friend next to me before attempting to stand again. When I don't feel like I'm standing on ice, I take a deep breath and move to shift away from the bed. Rosalie and the giddy chick block my way.

"The doctor said you can't leave. You need to rest and regain your strength" Rosalie says in a cool voice.

"The view isn't that bad though Rosie" the girl beside her smirks and I follow her gaze to finally realize that my hospital gown had become undone.

"Does he have it on wrong? Isn't the opening supposed to be in the back?" I hear one of the guys say while the girl beside Rosalie giggled. Rosalie averts her eyes suddenly and I couldn't help the smirk that pulls at the corner of my mouth.

"Holy mother goddess, he has dimples!!!" the girl practically squeels before punching at Rosalie's shoulder to get her to turn and look. When Rosalie doesn't immediately take her seriously, she physically turns her to face me and unintentionally shoves her straight at me.

I reach my arms out just as her head smacks into my chest. We both fall onto the bed just as I hear two male voices shouting and the giggly girl laughing hysterically. A warmth spreads across my chest as I look down at my chest to see Rosalie's face turn beet red. She attempts to hide her face but only succeeds in burying her face further into my gown. Her breath fans onto my skin as she breaths rapidly and I shift uncomfortably beneath her.

"Rosie what are your doing?!" a male voice asks as she is tugged off me and pushed behind one of the guys who stood by the door before. Two pairs of grey eyes suddenly begin glowing and the giggly girl suddenly becomes serious. She walks behind both guys and hits them hard upside the head.

"Gigi! Cut it out!" they both say at the same time. I can't help the laugh that escapes me when Gigi puts one of the guys in an armhold while grabbing the ear of the other.

"Ow ow owww! Let go!"

I watch the giggly Gigi who I now have the utmost respect for, drag both guys back to the side of the room, leaving the still blushing Rosalie standing with her back to me. I clear my throat to get her attention but she doesn't turn around.

"You almost got to second base and you're not going to at least ask for my number first?"

That succeeds in getting her to turn around while Gigi hoots on the sidelines. The two guys are now grumbling beside her causing Rosalie to run her hands over her face in an attempt to compose herself. She huffs out a breath and then finally looks me in the eyes again. This time, I get to actually see her eyes in all their hazel glory. A small gold spec dances in her irises and it causes me to not hear what she just asked me.

"Sorry, say that again?"

She looks at me like she was ready to hit me and I'm slightly anticipating it. I watch as she takes another deep breath and places her hands on her slender, jean clad hips.

"I said, your father was here. He doesn't seem to be a fan"

Her words send a wave of cold hate over my body and she notices the change in my demeanor because she draws back a little. I stand again and tug the gown off me completely. Rosalie squeaks and turns around quickly while I grab my torn t-shirt from the chair next to the bed and pull it over my head. The movement reminds me that that last use of magic drained me alot as my muscles complain with the movement.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be leaving now" I walk towards the table infront the bed and grab my watch. My hand instinctively reaches up to touch my necklace at my chest and I inhale deeply before turning to leave the room. The two guys and Gigi step aside quietly and I nod my head to Gigi who winks at me in response. I decide immediately that I liked her and I walked towards the door quietly. I pull the door open and come face to face with a tall, muscular broody looking man. His aura is strong and I feel it multiply when Rosalie's mother steps up beside him. She smiles at me but tall dark and broody gives me a once over making me slightly agitated.

"Behave Reed" Rosalie's mother says and the man almost instantly relaxes before angling his head to look around me into the room.

"Aren't you supposed to be in there? Why are you out of bed?" Rosalie's mother asks me and I'm about to respond when broody Reed speaks up.

"Let the kid leave if he wants Seraphina. Last thing we need is a reason for Salazar Kade or god forbid Magnus Blane to pay us a visit"

I look him straight in the eyes and didn't respond. I took a steadying breath and looked over to Rosalie's mother.

"He's right, I should leave" I shift to walk around them and stop dead in my tracks when she speaks again.

"Royal fae magic runs in your blood. You owe it to your mother to stay"
