“What are you doing?” A deep, angry hiss suddenly came from behind us Kyle and I turned around to
find Enzo standing not far from us I couldn’t see his face very well since the light is getting darker but
based on the heavy Alpha pressure floating in the air, I knew he was angry I looked down at myself and
instantly understood why Enzo was angry. Worried that it would implicate Kyle, I hastily explained, “I
came here to swim and ran into Kyle.” Enzo obviously didn’t believe me. He quickly walked up to me and
dragged me up from the ground, using his broad shoulder to block me completely from Kyle’s view.
“Swimming without clothes?” Enzo asked, a fire burning fiercely in his eyes. “Of course not. I took them
off because I thought no one was here. I didn’t know that Kyle would come by.” “I didn’t know Luna would
be here either,” Kyle added quietly behind Enzo, stretching out his neck a little to speak to him. “Turn
around!” Enzo growled out. Kyle rolled his eyes and huffed, but he turned around. “Is this necessary?
Everyone gets naked on the battlefield when they fight. You are like a lap dog guarding your treat.”
“That’s exactly what I’m doing. None your business anyway. I don’t care about others, but no one’s
allowed to hit on Andrea.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to get into a fight, I quickly interrupted and said, “He wasn’t
hitting on me.”
That Kyle wouldn’t even hit on you was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn’t tell Enzo that, of course.
So, to avoid all the heavier topics, I instead said, “I was swimming, and I got a cramp. Kyle passed by
and heard my cry for help, and he saved me.” “Then why are you wearing his clothes?”
“He took off his shirt when he saw I wasn’t wearing anything.”
Enzo was finally in a better mood once he heard my explanation. Well, less angry, at least. He stripped
off my clothes in a huff, tossed them into the water, and then took off his jacket to wrap me in it instead.
Then, he yelled at Kyle, “Who wants your clothes? They’re dirtying my mate! They stink!” Enzo looked
like an immature child at that moment.
I couldn’t see Kyle, but I could hear his annoyed grunts in response to Enzo’s words. At the end of the
day, I was the one who dragged Kyle into the matter.
“Okay, that’s enough. This doesn’t concern Kyle, so you don’t have to be angry with him.” “Stop talking,”
Enzo said as he frowned at me. Then, he bent down and picked me up in the next instance. “What are
you doing?!” I yelped. “Shut up,” Enzo said sternly before giving Kyle a meaningful look. Even though
Kyle had his back to us, I could see the hairs that stood up on his neck as Enzo gazed at him.
Enzo turned around and strode away carrying me in his arms. I’ve never felt such intense pressure from
him before, making me slightly afraid to speak What’s worse than the silence of a single person is when
both parties choose to shut them off. Enzo carried me to his bedroom, threw me on the big bed, and
proceeded to wrap me in the covers.
To be honest, it was summer, and I felt like I was melting under the covers. I tried calling out to Enzo, but
he turned his back on me and sat silently. I struggled and finally managed to pull an arm out from under
the covers, poking the back of his neck as he did to me before. “Enzo?”
He remained silent and didn’t turn around. I reached out again, poked the back of his neck once more,
and said softly, “Turn around.”
Enzo didn’t move.
I poked and prodded again, yet he remained unmoved.
I gave up. Moving around a bit under the covers, I finally stayed where I was and stared up at the ceiling
blankly. To my surprise, Enzo turned around once I settled down. He gave me a downcast look, his
eyebrows drooping. “You’re not doing it right,” Enzo told me. “What?”
“I was waiting for you to kiss me,” Enzo said with a straight face. I felt my cheeks heat up slightly when I
understood his meaning. Every time I turned my back on him, he always poked the back of my neck. If I
refused to turn around, he would scare me by saying he would kiss me if I didn’t.
He did that on purpose!
However, I wasn’t him, so I don’t have a thick skin.
“Are you daydreaming?” I asked him, then raised an eyebrow and continued, “I am not kissing you.”
Enzo’s eyes darken. “I know what’s going on. Do you have a crush on Kyle?”
I widened my eyes. “You’re being ridiculous again.”
“But you were so gentle with him just now, talking to him in a soft way that you have never treated me
with.”
I haven’t? I wasn’t sure about that. I thought I was already very gentle with Enzo. “I really should teach
Kyle a lesson,” Enzo said, huffing angrily. Even though I could tell he was simply bluffing, I was worried
he would do as he said. I sighed. I looked straight at Enzo and said, “I really just happened to run into
Kyle. It’s a large waterfall with people coming and going all the time. There’s nothing wrong with us being
there the same time.” “…” Enzo stared silently at me as though he was contemplating something. “Even
if you don’t believe me, you should believe Kyle, okay? He’s your Beta, your most loyal right hand.” Enzo
was silent for a few moments, then he lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine
suddenly. “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I was simply… just a little jealous.” “.” Now I was the one
speechless. Enzo rubbed my arm lightly and said in a hoarse voice, “If you coax me a little, I won’t be
angry anymore.”
“How?”
“You should think of something on your own.”
I tried to move, but I was still stuck under the covers.
“Let me go first,” I said.
Enzo unraveled the covers, and I caught a deep breath once I was free.
It was so hot! I could feel a thin layer of sweat oozing from my forehead.
I felt the heat rising when Enzo leaned closer to me. It wasn’t just my body; my blood was also boiling
from the closeness. Anticipation filled his eyes, and I shrugged. I put my arm around his neck and
pecked him on the lips. My instincts kicked in again, as Enzo responded fiercely to me. However, I didn’t
feel much joy in this lingering moment. The same question popped into my mind-Did Enzo truly love me?
What if I wasn’t his mate?
I can’t even get down that line of thinking. I was too afraid to be hurt.
“You’re not paying attention,” Enzo muttered as he squeezed my chin, pulling me onto his
thighs.
My heart was pounding wildly Enzo was so good at taking control of my feelings. I worried I would lose
my mind if I went on like this. So, when he leaned in to kiss me again, I jumped out of his arms
decisively. “Okay, I already coaxed you. You’re not allowed to be mad anymore.” Enzo looked at me with
raised brows. My legs felt a little weak, and I needed to make a quick getaway. I couldn’t stay in the
same space with him. I was sure I would burst into flames if I did!
“Wait.”
Enzo suddenly called out as I placed my hand on the door handle. “Get up early tomorrow. I want to take
you somewhere,” he said.
