Big Bad Wolf

08

An hour after our lunch, they set up an outdoor court were we could train of our sports. We practiced the whole afternoon under the scorching heat of the sun. After our practice, I walked to where I hanged my shirt this morning but I frowned because it was gone and it was only June's shirt that was left.

I looked around thinking it was flown by the wind but I couldn't find it. Someone might had mistaken it as his shirt.

I pulled June's shirt from the branch and walked back to his tent. I opened their tent and saw him with his phone.

"Your shirt." I said and handed him his shirt. He switched his attention to me and smiled.

"Thanks, Ned. I almost forgot about this." He chuckled.

"I know." I said and he laughed loudly.

I didn't mention about my shirt. It was just a shirt anyway. They all went to the obstacle course to play. I went to Garret's tent and fetch my towel and went to the shower room hoping to be alone but I heard someone using the shower. I went inside and I stopped on my feet when I saw Dean and he was the only there making us alone there.

He glanced at me and no matter how I wanted to go out, I fought myself to stay because I badly needed a shower. I choose the farthest shower from Dean. I silently sighed in relief when the lukewarm water hit my face and flowed down my body.

"Hey."

I jumped in surprise when someone suddenly called and it was Dean with only a towel wrapped around his waist. I didn't know but even thought we were both guys and I was used on showering with my team in my boxers, I felt conscious with Dean. It was different. He was giving off a different vibe or maybe it was just my imagination.

"What do you want?" I asked and glared at him. Of course, I haven't forgot about what he did to me. It wasn't necessary for him to lean to much on me and whisper something I couldn't understand.

My hair stood up remembering it.

"Wouldn't it be rude if I don't say anything before I walk out." He said.

I wouldn't mind at all.

"Okay." I said and continued what I was doing but I still felt his presence making me turn my head back at him and he was still standing on the same spot.

"You're still here?" I frowned and he chuckled.

"It's amusing to watch you enjoy the water."

Yeah, why don't you leave me alone.

I just gave him a small smile. He was creeping me out and I swear, I saw him grinned before he went out of the room.

"Creep." I muttered and continued my shower when I again heard someone clearing a throat.

"What was that?" Kevin asked and Marco, one of our spiker also, chuckled.

"You two were alone in this bathroom. Don't tell me nothing happened." Marco said and Felix laughed.

I groaned. "I'm not into guys. Leave me alone."

"We won't." Felix said.

The bathroom was flooded with all the men showered at the same time and I was glad I showered early.

After dinner, we walked around the place before we went back to our tents and Garret's tent was filled with his teammates and they were playing some basketball game with their phones. They invited me to join but I refused because I didn't know how to play it so I just watched until I was sleepy. I checked the time and it was almost eleven and I needed to sleep.

"You're going to sleep?" Garret asked and I didn't want to stop their game.

"It's fine." I said.

"You can sleep at my tent. No one's there." Dave said.

"I can?" I asked again.

"Of course. Its the black one at the end of the circle." He said and I frowned because a circle doesn't have an end but I just nodded and bid them goodnight before I went out.

The bonfire at the center was slowly dying and almost all my team's tents were quiet and dark and they were already asleep. I looked for a black empty tent and went inside immediately because it was cold outside.

"Thank God." I moaned when no one was there and the place was all for myself. Everything was already prepared from the soft comforter and pillow and all I would do was to lay down comfortably.

I immediately fell asleep after wrapping myself with the warm comforter and a familiar scent.

They invited me to join their game but I refused because I'd rather sleep early and it would be a torture if I stay in Garret's tent with Ned there because I couldn't touch him. Not when Valir was losing his patience.

We almost take him there when Ned lost his balance. I was glad Valir fought the urge to bite our mate but he growled something funny to Ned.

I'm going to make you my b***h was what he said in his own lang and I couldn't help but agree to him.

I was about to sleep when my phone rung. It was mom. I went out and walked near the forested area of the place and answered the call.

"Dean, your grandfather's planning on giving the title to you." She said and I growled secretly. She kept on saying about that thing for a hundred times already.

"I know and I'm not yet prepared. Give me a little more time."

There was no one to inherit the title but me and mom and dad wanted me to stop playing and go back to the pack land to train and prepare myself. They were planning on giving me the title on my eighteenth birthday which was suppose to be a surprise and I was about to go back after this camping but everything changed and my plans were ruined when I met my mate.

"You kept on saying that."

"Not now, mom. Not when I already found him." I said and mom fell silent on the line.

"Did you find your mate?" She asked.

"Maybe." I answered.

"You can't say maybe. Was your mate the reason why you can't go back here yet?"

"Obviously, and I couldn't just drag him there or in our world because he's a human."

**

I groaned as I walked back to my tent because mom was so stubborn but mostly because I could smell my mate and the nearer I walk to my place, the stronger the scent was.

I was surprised to see Ned sleeping in my tent, wrapping himself with my comforter. I think I was about to go crazy.
