“UGH, Enough! Nope. Don’t need to hear it. Don’t you dare give me a glimpse of what you’re picturing,” I protested, brushing my hand through my hair to distract myself as an image of Marcus in his low ride sweat pants and bare, marking-filled chest lingered in my head.
Settle down hormones! You get to see Ryder’s naked, top half, too. Don’t need to get all greedy now.
I turned towards the forest, ready to make my way back when I felt a wave of dizziness hit me.
I let out a groan, waiting for the spinning sensation to stop.
Nope, I’m not going to faint. Totally not go–
My body leaned back as my consciousness began to drift.My body crashed into something soft, arms wrapped around me.I sighed in relief as I allowed my once tense body to relax in the embrace.
Mint surrounded me; the fresh, clean scent welcoming.
“I swear; I can’t keep my eyes off you, Mako.”
EliaseAnne’s voice sounded far away, but her high pitch voice was soft and comforting in the darkness that continued to cloud my mind.
Eli. Even though I tried to avoid talking to Elias, they both continued to keep an eye on me.
That was the last thought I had before I submitted to the darkness.
CHAPTER8
Midnight
Iopened my eyes; the bright light blinded my vision. I took a deep breath, the scent of mint surrounded me as my eyes adjusted to the warm rays of sunlight above; a shadow leaned over to stare down at me.
I was greeted with wide emerald eyes; the shiny jewels sparkled from the sunshine as they bore into mine.
Bountiful blonde, loose curls fell forward as the shifter continued to stare down at me.
Her skin was flawless; her light porcelain complexion only contributed in making her eyes look spectacular. Her cheeks had a hint of pink to match her soft, smooth, pink lips.
“Midnight?” Her high-pitched voice sent a light tingle flowing through me; the effect occurred when I’d awaken to Elias’ calm voice.
This must be EliaseAnne.
“EliaseAnne?” I questioned, tilting my head, lying on the fairy shifter’s lap. She smiled, the expression made me feel like I’d done something good for knowing who she was.
I sat up, Eli leaning back so I didn’t head butt her. I smiled at the peaceful scene that greeted me. Ever since the night of the 1v1 exam, the same night I met Elias’ for the first time, I’d taken a love for Mother Starlight’s immense beauty.
Both times I’d been summoned because of this‘fainting spell’problem Mako and I were dealing with, since the group practical exam. I don’t think it bothered either of us. The concern was there were never any warning signs that came along with our switching issue.
It had been quiet and peaceful since our discharge from the medical centre, so I didn’t worry about such matters.
Being awakened due to a simple fainting spell was better than waking up midst of a blood bath of shifters, with the intentions of murdering you on sight.
Now that I had a glimpse of the vast trees, the running stream a few feet from me, and the sun shining in the sky, I didn’t know what else to do.
I crossed my legs, allowing my hands to relax in the open space, pressing them into the soft grass – the smooth dirt sank inward, surrounding my fingers. The sensation was new and different, catching my attention as I began to analyze the dark brown soil. I enjoyed watching nature, but feeling it in my grasp was a feeling too great to express in words. I held a great appreciation for these moments.
“It feels nice and welcoming, doesn’t it?”
I turned to face Eli, who was staring at me with interest. I blushed, realizing how caught up I was in Starlight’s gift of life that I’d completely forgotten about Eli’s presence.
“Yes,”I replied, looking away.
It feels weird talking to people other than Mako.
