Santiago's Pov continues
“Why does he loath and reject me?”
“He hasn’t rejected you.” I argue because he is smarter than that, rejecting her would mean both of them dying and Adrian is too narcissistic to sign himself up for death.
She shakes her head, tears streaming down her face. “He might have not said it out loud, but he doesn’t want me.”
“Deep down in that dark place that holds his heart, he does want you and he is scared of getting attached to you because he thinks he’ll lose you and also because he feels he doesn’t deserve it like he said.
But if you show him there’s no need to be scared, Adrian is just looking out for himself. He is protecting himself from another heartbreak and in the process he will hurt you but if you show him he’ll be okay, you’ll be happy together.”
She shakes her head wiping her eyes. “I am going to leave you to relax.” I tell her leaving.
The entire day goes by slowly mostly because Camilla stays in her room and I keep Mirabelle from bothering her.
Adrian had the chefs that were cooking today to make her favorite dishes which was hard because her favorite desert can only be made with strawberries from the Royal Garden, they are the best strawberries of all time and Adrian made sure someone went there and well even though the person hasn’t made it back yet because it’s pretty far driving there, he will make sure Camilla has the strawberry cake.
I called Emily, a friend of mine who likes to suck my dick and let me pound in her pussy to get my mind off the day I had plus she’s a no feelings attached type of girl.
I’m just helping her get her daily vitamin D while her mate is studying to create a better future for her as he screws his college friends. Emily is one of many but we have a connection. She's my ‘Angel’.
“Here you go Em.” I say handing her a glass of water. Emily smiles while taking the glass. “Not going to cross my name off a list this time?” I tease because she has a list of the boys whose virginity she takes and mine was crossed off long ago, when she had my heart.
“You know, you are my favorite male creature and not even Marcus will change that, no matter how great in bed or whatever.”
I lean into her and place a kiss on her forehead.
“Like you didn’t just leave your cum in me..” She laughs. “You know Santi-”
Her statement is cut short by screams, piercing screams accompanied by cries which die out as fast as they came.
“Hold that thought Em.” I tell her sliding some pants on.
“I’m coming too.” She says, wrapping herself in one of the sheets.
We find people outside their rooms, at Camilla’s door to be exact.
Adrian arrives just when I do, he was drinking in his office like he has been the last two hours.
“Who screamed?” He demands.
Mirabelle points to the door, “I think it was Camilla.”
“Everyone back to their rooms, I will handle this.” Everyone clears out except Racheal and Mirabelle.
“Darling, love your hair.” She tells Emily, Emily has been a member of this pack since birth but she comes once in a while, she lives on her university campus now.
“Tell Em all about her hair in your room.” I tell them and just like that they’re gone, easy because Emily takes them.
Adrian twists the key on Camilla’s door and opens it, one of the girls from here must have locked her in as a prank that just got out of hand for her.
“Hey cupcake, what happened?” I ask once we’re inside. I take a look at her, she’s sweating and the fear on her face is evident.
“I had a nightmare and when I woke up, the door wouldn’t open.”
“It’s just a dream.” Adrian snorts, irritated that she’s petrified by a dream. I would like to know Camilla’s story. It seems interesting despite her attempt to mask it by portraying as nothing but a weak human. Something crippled her strength but I see a flicker of it left, she uses it to keep on but it might run out.
I nod, “Adrian is right, go back to sleep and get some rest.”
“Please don’t leave me alone, stay.” She pleads.
“I can’t sleep in your room cupcake, I have a guest.”
“You can stay with me tonight.” Adrian let out a growl offering her his hand and surely I’m taken aback. I blink twice to assure myself I’m not hallucinating anything. “Santiago, are you coming? She obviously wants you to come, she's scared I will eat her.”
“Yea I’m coming.” I swallow, in my mind this is their chance to grow close and like he said he is trying, but only when I speak does Camilla take his hand. I understand her fear of Adrian from what she’s heard but the stories can’t compare to the devil he is that said he’d never hurt her physically, that is, emotionally? Well he has already begun.
“You can sleep in my bed, I will sleep over there.” He gestures to the couch.
“No! I mean let’s sleep together. This bed is big enough, Cami, you can sleep next to Adrian and I will sleep with one eye open to make sure he doesn’t eat you.” I wink at her, making Adrian laugh.
She second guesses getting into the bed she found him with his lover in but Adrian and I watch over her until she falls asleep.
“Reminds me of when we’d check Racheal’s room for monsters and stood watch just to make sure they don’t eat her when she’s asleep.” I chuckle. Adrian always joked Racheal was afraid of monsters but they didn’t live under her bed, the biggest monster watched over her when she slept and that was him but he couldn’t be more wrong, he isn’t the Villain his trauma is.
“No, Racheal had some bite even when she was scared.”
I nod, she did have a bite, always has always will. “I’m off to my room take care of her.” I snort.
He stares at me blankly searching for humor in my words, “Wait-you didn’t think I would stay with you love birds….No I’m busy with Emily she came all the way here on a school night, the least I can do is make it worth her while.”
“You and Em.” He nods.
As I look for an answer fit to explain my fuck buddy situation, Camilla turns in her sleep. “Ryan please..” She murmurs, even in this dream she’s crying. Does she ever not cry? I use her mumbling her brother’s name to piss off Adrian. “Ouch, that must hurt she’s in your bed but she’s thinking of her brother.”
Adrian waves me off, “Just fuck off.”
“Talitha don’t say that.” Camilla murmurs, her voice sounding broken even as she’s deep in death’s dance as Adrian calls it.
“I’m out, but don’t get too wild, there will be no kissing of the sleeping princess you hear?” I tease.
“Fuck off Santiago.” He chuckles, flipping me off.
