Episode 4: Dangerous Temptations
1126 Words
"Ughh…" I groaned, feeling stressed out. I had pondered so much I didn't know when I slept last night because I had no clock to tell what time it was. The metal doors of the dorm were hit hard to wake us up, but little did I know this was the beginning of the struggle.
"Wake up! Wake up!" The man in charge of drilling was the one who screamed, and my eyes snapped open. I opened my eyes to see my roommates getting ready.
They tied white towels around their waists, and my eyes were made to feast on the view they displayed.
Their chest well-built, and their muscles beckoning on me to touch them.
"Damn it! This is torture…" My wolf expressed, groaning inwardly, but I fisted my hands. I didn't want to look like a p*****t, but at the same time, I didn't want to take my eyes off them.
"Hey! Are you going to sit there staring? We already know you desire our kind of build, just get up, and prepare for drills already!" Damien was the one who yelled. His brown hair slicked down his face, and he wasn't as chiselled as the rest of the two, but he was still like a demigod. His black eyes stared into mine, and made me pull my eyes away which made another laugh.
It was Julian. Julian had black hair, and his eyes were light blue. His chest was firm, and he seemed like someone I would love to rest my body on all day. His aura was more calm compared to the two, but for some reason, I felt he was the more dangerous one.
"Nice one, Damien," Maverick said. Immediately I heard his words, I rolled my eyes. I couldn't hate him, but I knew he was one of the problems. He was the one who taunted me first when I got into the room.
"What? Can't say anything?" He asked when he noticed I turned my face away. "Just get your bucket, and get to the bathroom." His black air with a blend of white caught my attention, but I didn't care. He was a bully. He was buffed up, and was the tallest even when it was just an inch.
However, I knew better than to stand up. I had to have my bath, and there was literally no other bathroom than the private one, so I had to make sure they were all gone before I picked up my bathing equipment, and headed down the stairs of the building, and saw a hidden place.
My beating heart suddenly calmed, and since I took my clothes with me, I quickly had my bath, and changed into the uniform of the academy I was given.
Once that was done, I put everything I had away, rushing towards the drilling ground.
I seemed lucky because the drill hadn't started when I got there, so I wasn't late, but I learnt a lesson once the drill started.
The academy wasn't for the weak. We ran laps, and we're mad to do certain exercises which tired me out so easily.
I was breathing hard, and sweating so much, causing all eyes to be on me, but I didn't care. The truth was that any further weakness could make me look inferior, and I didn't plan to make that happen.
Once the drill was over, we headed to classes, and I spent most of my time alone, that was until someone approached me with a very funny question after the first class.
"Hello." He greeted, causing me to pause in my tracks.
"Hi. Do you need something?" I figured he might have because he was wearing a serious gaze.
"An answer."
I furrowed my brows. He was being too direct, but wasn't telling me what I needed to know.
"An answer, huh? To what questions exactly?" I asked, and he sighed.
"Your roommates. How does It feel about staying with the most powerful men in the academy?"
I almost rolled my eyes, and screamed horrible, but I controlled myself.
"It's cool actually. I'm glad they are my roommates," I answered, and he nodded, walking away without leaving a name.
Seeing what happened, I shrugged my shoulders, and attended the next class.
As soon as the last class ended, I heaved in relief. I was the first person to get a shower at my usual hiding spot, and when I returned to the room, I saw my roommate was already around.
They looked at me, and pretended I wasn't there even after I greeted them.
The silence echoed, and I didn't bother. However, as I arranged my bed, I sat on it, and that was when I felt a lump in my throat. How can a man be so handsome?
I stared at the maverick who had taken off his shirt, revealing his six packs. I could have sworn I was drooling and I got lost in thoughts, that was until I noticed him right in front of me. He scoffed and the next thing I knew, he grabbed my arm, pushing me towards the wall.
At first, I kept calm, because his push wasn't hard, but I was shocked when he stared into my eyes.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I look attractive, are you gay?" His hands blocked the path I was to escape through, and his eyes pierced into mine.
I swallowed hard. My throat danced up and down as though there was something on there that needed to grove.
"s**t!" My wolf screamed. "Look at those lips, there are—"
"Not now!'' I shunned her, focusing on the matter at hand now.
"Are you deaf? Or you just want to leave my question hanging?" He asked, and I sighed.
I had the perfect reply for him, and I felt my lips slowly curling into a smirk.
"You want me to give you an answer or you're also gay looking for a partner?" I asked, licking my lips which caused his face to turn pale. His eyes stared into mine, and I noticed his calm gaze slowly changing into anger which caused me to panic, but I couldn't escape.
I closed my eyes, watching how he fisted his arms as I waited for impact. However, it never came.
I opened my eyes, and saw how Julian had blocked the punch, and then slowly turned his head over his shoulders.
"You better watch your mouth, or you'll end up without one." Those were his only words to me before he finally dragged Maverick out of the room.
I heaved, sliding my back down the wall. "That was close. How much more can I cope with this?" I thought.
