Chapter 7: Complex Feelings

(Desire POV)

After washing my face, I headed straight to my classroom, and thank goddess, the teacher wasn’t in the classroom, otherwise, I would surely get detention. I took my usual seat at the second last desk and pulled out my books. I have completed all the assignments a week in advance. Otherwise, I will surely get in trouble today because I didn’t get the time to open my books since yesterday. I wanted to abandon my studies and just wanted to get out of this damn pack, but it seems fate was not on my side.

After a few moments, The Quads entered in the room and I quickly buried my head in my book to avoid them as much as possible. They walked past my seat and I heaved a sigh of relief. After a few moments, someone knocked on my desk. I looked up and Dominic was standing there with a charming yet soft smile on his face. I forgot to breathe for a whole second before coming back to my senses.

“Yes?” I asked and he scratched the back of his neck like he was nervous, but I know, he was just pretending.

“All the seats are full. Can I sit here?” He asked, and I didn’t have any option but to nod in agreement. I know he was deliberately doing this, but I don’t want to provoke any of them. He quickly sat beside me and I opened my notebook. The teacher entered in the class and all the chattering ended. It was a class of English Literature and I quickly opened my assignment when Dominic’s pen fell on the floor. I was about to bend to pick it up for him but he put a hand on my hand to stop me. I didn’t think and turned my attention towards to the teacher again. Suddenly, I felt his fingers grazing the side of my leg and I could tingle on my jeans clad leg and I shivered under his hot touch. I tried to remove his hand from my leg but he didn't remove it and slowly moved it toward my inner thigh. I tried to close my legs but his strong grip on my leg didn’t let me.

“Dominic!!!” I said in a hushed voice, as I didn’t want to attract the attention of any other student towards me.

“Yes! Do you want anything?” He said and started rubbing my inner thigh with his thumb.

“N-no! I didn’t want a thing but please remove your hand,” I said in a lowered voice and he arched his brow in confusion like he didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.

“What? I didn’t hear what you said. Can you please say a little bit louder?” He asked and, I know he was deliberately doing all this but I was not feeling uncomfortable while his hand was so near to my…Ahem… private place.

“You already knew! Please!!!” I said and he shook his head like he was utterly clueless about the current situation.

“Ms. Clayton! Is there any problem?” Mr. Brown said while looking towards me, and everyone’s attention turned towards me. Heat crept to my cheeks in embarrassment.

“No, Sir! I am sorry,” I said before looking at my book. Luckily, he didn’t make it a big deal. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to get scolded in front of everyone.

“Dominic, please!!!” I pleaded with him and he quickly withdrew his hand after looking at my teary eyes. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself before turning my attention toward the whiteboard. He didn’t do anything after that and I was thankful in my heart. The class ended and as soon as the teacher left the class, I also bolted toward the door like there was a ghost chasing me. They didn’t stop me either and I headed towards the cafeteria where Naomi and Adolph were already present.

“Hey, Desire! How are you?” Naomi asked and looked towards me with a concerned look etched on her face. Adolph quickly turned his attention towards me and put a hand on my forehead. I leaned back and furrowed my brows in confusion at his sudden action.

“Oh, I am sorry! I was just checking for a fever. Although there is no fever, but you are looking pale and weak,” He said, and I nodded before pushing him away a bit.

“You know I didn’t feel comfortable when someone sat this close to me, so please keep a distance from now on,” I warned him and he nodded before sliding half a foot away.

“Let’s eat something! I am starving and unable to think about anything at the moment,” Naomi said, but I knew, She was trying to end the awkwardness which I had caused by avoiding Adolph’s touch.

“Sure! I also want to eat a sandwich with some fries,” I said, and Adolph stood up quickly from his seat.

“Alright! Everything is coming right away,” he said before walking towards buy us lunch.

“Desire! What the hell was that? He was worried about you and you acted like he was a plague? It was really not nice to push him away,” Naomi said while looking at me with suspicious eyes.

“I know! I am sorry, but I just can’t stand his touch. I also don’t know why I have reacted this way,” I tried to explain to her but she did not buy it at all.

“Alright! If you say so, but please try to avoid acting this way again. He is just sincere and cared about you…a lot,” She said, and I could feel the pain and sadness in her eyes.

“I am sorry, Naomi! I didn’t know why he was ignoring your feelings, but I am certain that the moon goddess will surely give you a mate, who will value your love and care,” I said to her by putting my hand on her hand which was present on the table.

“I hope so,” She answered when Adolph came back with our lunch.

“Thank you so much, Adolph! I really don’t know how to thank you for your help. If you and Naomi are not at my side, then it will be difficult for me to go through all this all alone,” I said in a sincere tone and he was looking towards me with an astonishing look etched on his face.

“Wow! Naomi, what did you say or do to her to change her so much in just a few minutes? You are really amazing,” he said in a light-hearted tone, and Naomi blushed after hearing her words.

“Alright! There is no need to thank us. We are friends after all, if you want to thank me, then give me a friendly hug if you really want to thank me,” he said, and I hesitated before leaning a bit towards him and stretched my arm, but before my arm touched his body, someone kicked him away and he landed a few feet away with a loud thud. My eyes widened in shock and I turned toward the person who dare to do this with my friend.

Damien was standing there with an angry look and the others were also present a few steps away from him with deep scowls on their faces.

“How dare you do this to my friend?” I said and my voice was a bit loud, which shocked everyone, including myself.

“He was touching what is ours and we couldn’t stand it at all,” He explained it like it was not even a big deal.

“Huh? He is my friend and he can touch me,” I answered in an angry tone.

“No!!! No one has the right to touch our mate. If someone dares to do this, then we will rip his arm and will give him a torturous and slow death,” His words made me shudder in fear and tears welled up in my eyes.

“Oh yeah! I forgot that you are monsters, who don’t care about anyone but yourselves,” I said to him and walked towards Adolph to help him, but a deep growl stopped me in my tracks.

“Desire! If you dare to touch him, then we will kill him without wasting even a single second. I looked towards them with wary eyes before turning to look at Naomi, who was looking pale and shocked as well. She nodded after noticing my look and with this, I left the cafeteria. I asked her to look after Adolph because I couldn’t do that at the moment. Otherwise, they would not hesitate to do as they say. I headed towards the class with the speed of lightning while tears were rolling down my cheeks.

“They are monsters! They are unable to love and care for anyone. I was wrong to give them a chance and now, I am stuck with them for a month. I am not sure if they will allow me to leave the pack even after one month or not. How stupid am I to give them a chance to prove themselves? How can someone change their nature even if he is mated with someone or not? Nature cannot be changed at all,” I thought, and my heart was aching more and more with each passing second.
