I laughed.
The clock chimed and I looked over to see the owl’s eyes wide open tonight. It was midnight. We’d made it to a new day.
“You five have class in the morning,” Dr. Green said as he stood. “Don’t make me call you into my office again.”
He looked like he was fighting a smile while trying to maintain a stern expression. I was grateful for him. Without him at the helm, who knew what would have happened to me here.
As we walked down the hallway, the adrenaline finally wore out and I was suddenly exhausted. I stifled a yawn.
“Long day,” Matt said.
Luka slid his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. “You need some sleep.”
“We all need sleep,” I said.
Luka guided me away from the hallway that led to my dorm room. My brow furrowed. “Hey, wrong way.”
“Nope,” he said. “The twins were right. You need more protection. There’s two of them in that room.”
“Plus, there’s room for all of us there,” Ben added.
“Wait a minute.” I stopped walking and looked at all of my mates. None of them were arguing. “You all agreed to this?”
“We had some words while we were waiting in the secret passage,” Ben said.
“And you didn’t kill each other?” I asked.
“Our differences aren’t as important as making sure you’re safe,” Zach said.
“So we’re going to have a sleepover in your dorm room?” I asked, still not believing it.
“There’s room for all of us there,” Ben said.
“We don’t even have to share the same bed,” Luka said. “Though, I’m open to it if anyone wants company. While Raven is my favorite, you’re all pretty hot.”
I laughed at the bright shade of pink Ben’s face was. It was true, though. I’d not only managed to connect with four intelligent, amazing men, I’d hit the sexy jackpot. How the hell did I get this lucky?
Deciding I should go along with this decision while they were all getting along, I started walking again. This would be the first time all of us had shared one room. Sure, we’d sharedotherthings before. But those nights had still ended up with me in my room alone.
The room was dark when we entered and Zach flipped on some lights. “I’ll wait with Raven if the rest of you want to check the rooms. Just in case.”
I looked at Zach with my brows raised. “You do realize the fae who was after me was literally able to turn into a shadow.”
“Yeah, but he’s gone,” Ben said. “I’ll check this way.”
“I’ve got this side,” Luka said.
“Looks like I’ve got the bedrooms,” Matt said.
They all took off in three different directions while I stood there feeling awkward with Zach. “I’m not helpless, you know.”
“We know,” he said. “But do you know how helpless you made us feel? We want to help you, Raven. We have to work together when one of us needs help.”
“Does that go for all of you?” I asked. “If Ben needed help, would you be willing to help him?”
He hesitated and I knew I’d caught him. I was just about to say so when he opened his mouth.
“Raven, I don’t know how to explain it, but the four of us share our own bond. It’s not like the bond I have with you, but yes, I would help him if he needed it. For your sake and for mine. We’re connected somehow. It doesn’t make sense, but that’s where we are,” he said.
