At some point, his attention switched back to me. “What floor are you on?”
For some reason, I had the feeling he already knew as he fell into step with me towards the second floor and down the hall. When we reached my door, I fished my key out of my bag and settled it in the lock. It easily twisted open.
“Here I am. You delivered me. To my door,” I said, making no move to go inside.
Silas glanced in at my space before taking a step inside all on his own.
“I think that’s past the door,” I said.
He glanced back over his shoulder, pausing. “Do you want me to leave?”
I… wasn’t sure.
I fussed with my hands again as I walked in behind him. With him inside my room, the narrow space looked even smaller. I watched Silas as he made tiny movements. He glanced at my mess of blankets twisted into a ball on the bed. After that, he looked at the tiny trinkets sitting on the windowsill so that when it was sunny out, they caught the light. Over my desk, he tapped his index finger against the wood as if contemplating what exactly my overpriced biology textbook and various colored notebooks could possibly mean.
“If you’re looking for more like a super-secret plan of how I planned to somehow unbeknownst to me seduce your best friends, you should probably still check the closet. It won’t be in there since I’m not that creative. I wish I was, but I’m not,” I murmured. It sounded funnier in my head than it came out. “Otherwise, you did what you told Lee and Jake you were going to do and got me back here. So, uh, thanks.”
Silas let out a long sigh as if I was now truly putting him out.
But… was he kidding me? I didn’t ask him to drive me back. I don’t believe I asked him for anything. I hadn’t even sought him out at all even after I scented him that morning I spent after the party with his packmates or when I didn’t even know his name but knew that he was…
Mine.
I swallowed. “Look.”
His eyes snapped up to mine.
I tried not to let the expression take my breath away. The only thing I could do was look away, but only for a second. I wouldn’t let him have that kind of power over me.
“I get that you don’t like me or want to be around me at all and that’s your choice I get it. Trust me, I get it. This entire mess was not some kind of master plan on my part. In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t have a plan at all. I can barely figure out what I want to devote myself to study, let alone what I think I am going to do in the world for the rest of my life when all anyone ever thinks I’m going to do is become a homegrown baby maker…” I continued this ramble on before I could stop myself. He was in my territory now, I bolstered myself. “So I didn’t plan on randomly running into alphas when I barely even considered what it would mean for me to meet an alpha at all let alone date two and find out that they already have a pack and also guess what, we are super rare scent matches if we can believe all that. I bet you don’t.”
Silas didn’t reply. He just kept staring.
“Right,” I said. “Anyway. I know you probably don’t care whatsoever, but I am not trying to screw your pack or you over. And also I’m sort of terrified if the mental breakdown didn’t clue you in. So, I just want to say I guess that if you don’t want me, I get it and you don’t have to. I didn’t think I wanted this either, but now with Lee and Jake I…”
I didn’t know what was happening anymore and all I could feel about it was fear and confusion and also… happy.
“You don’t have to like this or anything but it’s just what is happening and I really am sorry but…” I was losing my train of thought.
Silas, however, didn’t have me attempt to continue it.
“You think I like this, omega?” Silas took a step closer to me, and then another.
I had nowhere else to retreat as he invaded my space, and to be honest, I couldn’t help myself by the time I took a step back only for my back to hit the side of the raised bed. When his black hoodie met the coat I still had on, I arched. My chest brushed up against his.
Everywhere, all around me was the scent of brown sugar and sweet, sweet honey that would be so easy to drown in. My lips parted in an attempt to breathe through my mouth. Looking up at Silas, I had to arch my neck. All the alphas that I had been around recently had been larger than the average beta, but Silas was tall. Much taller than I was.
“Let me clear this up,” he said leaning in towards my ear. My heart picked up his pace. He wasn’t yelling though like he did at me the last time. Last time, this would’ve already been over as he threatened me and threw my fears I now openly admitted into my face. But Silas wasn’t running away. “I don’t like this. In fact, omega, I sort of hate what you are doing to my pack and most of all what you are doing to me.”
“What?”
“You don’t think I am affected by you?” He huffed a short breath as he looked down at me with something that looked like hate and also looked a lot not like hate at all. His eyes were heavy as he shook his head and looked at me inch by inch, even slower than Jacob when he bit his lip, and I knew he liked what he saw.
A sense of thrill tore through me.
“Every day I have to deal with you now,” said Silas. “I have to deal with my packmates talking about you every minute. I have to deal with the way your scent has now permeated the apartment as well as everywhere it is all so clear you’ve rubbed up against them when they’ve been spending him with you. And your scent.”
He swore.
