Chapter Six

Daniel's P.O.V.

Just when I thought I had my life pretty much summed up, here I was in a car beside an intimidating looking man who keeps on calling me his 'mate' while Noah was on the backseat, sandwiched by those handsome twins, casually getting poked by them in his sides every now and then.

We are currently travelling in the woods to a village I have yet to know the name of. Noah and I don't usually just go with whatever customers want but there's just something in these guys that made us agree or maybe because of the once in a lifetime deal that we just had. We talked the whole day about how we are going to bake all those treats and other things that needed to be discussed. We were going to use their baking tools but Noah insisted on taking with him his favorite apron that always gets him in the mood for baking.

"We're here."

Zaccheus announced as he parked the car in front of a huge house, or should I say, a freaking mansion! How could this exist in the middle of the woods? Does the government know about this? Right now, I can see a variety of houses and people walking and talking here and there. Some were even staring at us, probably wondering why there are strangers in their village. After we all got out of the car, Noah and I were about to get our bags but the twins beat us to it. Not really in the mood to protest, we continued to walk and it would be an understatement if I told you this was weird.

As we enter the house, we were greeted by what I assume as maids or workers, men and women, judging from the uniform they were in. They all smiled at us and bowed their heads as we walked. Now that is even weirder, they're acting like this man is a freaking king!

"Welcome back Alpha Zaccheus. Welcome Betas Ace and Ice .Welcome visitors."

A lady spoke as she too bowed her head. Ice held up his right hand and the workers all scattered and went in their places without a word. We climbed up the stairs and walked in a hallway full of multiple doors.

"This is where Noah will be sleeping. Daniel, get to that last door on the right."

Zaccheus instructed us. If I was hearing things, I'd say his voice went softer as he called my name but of course, that would be weird.

"W-wait, why are you getting in too?"

I heard Noah ask as he was softly pushed inside the room. The twin with the darker hair, Ace I think, chuckled and spoke.

"We already told you, you're going to sleep with us. I mean, we already did that when we were younger right? You always agreed on sleeping beside us."

I know it's not what a good friend should do but I left them, feeling tired and wanting nothing more than to lay down on a soft bed. Who knew even just by sitting at a car can be exhausting too? Just as expected, the room was massive and a large bed was in between a small fridge and a night stand. I lied down, face first and groaned at the softness of the pillows. A few seconds later, I felt the edge of the bed dip a little bit and saw the Zaccheus removing his shirt.

"W-what are you doing?"

I could feel that I was blushing. You can't really blame a person for being flustered if someone suddenly started stripping in front of them. I stared at the man's tan skin, his abs were well defined and every muscle was sculpted perfectly. I started to pity myself for not having a body like his.

"Like what you see? There will be more when we get there."

Zaccheus smirked, winking as he went closer and hovered my small frame.

"U-umm I-"

I could feel his hot breath against my mouth, his lips inches from mine. No, wait this can't be happening! I'm supposed to save my first kiss for someone in the future! I tried to move but my body was stiff. Am I even gay?

Oh, yeah I am. But still, this can't happen, we just met. You can't suddenly kiss someone you just met! That would just be plain harassment especially if the other person opposes. He was getting closer and I closed my eyes tightly, not knowing what to do next. I need to-

"Guys, food is ready!"

Zaccheus let out a frustrated growl. Wait, humans can growl like that?

"Fuck you Ice!"

We heard a laugh and steps walking away. I lay there still, with eyes open wide like a deer caught in the headlights. Heavens, thank you for Ice.

"Let's go downstairs, you must be hungry."

I stood up, not really knowing how much of a blushing mess I was based on this man's wolfish grin. He wore a different shirt and ushered me to come down with him.

"U-um, okay."

We got out of the room and headed towards the table with lots of food on it but even though the food was tempting, I couldn't help but notice the redness of Noah's face like he was a close cousin to tomatoes.

"What's wrong Noah? Your face is so red."

I asked as I sat next to him but he just shook his head. Something must have happened earlier.

"N-nothing. I uh, peed myself?"

What did he just say?

"You're not really great at lying you know. Peed yourself? Seriously? If that really happened, you would have locked yourself in a room and cry for months because of how embarrassed you are."

I just rolled my eyes as everyone began to eat. Noah has never been good with lying and it was a good thing for me because I can easily tell what he feels.

"We are going shopping for ingredients tomorrow."

Zaccheus said as he munched at the meat. The incident earlier made me really nervous, knowing that I'm sleeping next to him later on. Sure, he's attractive but I don't know him enough to trust him fully. He was still a stranger that I just met and i'm not taking any chances. The dinner ended pretty quietly as the maids took our dishes while we went into our separate rooms.

I'm currently in the shower, washing my body to remove the soap, clearing my head of any stressful thoughts. Once I was finished, I wrapped a towel low on my waist as I got out and went on my duffel bag, searching for clothes. I was having a hard time as I shifted on my legs and feet, desperately trying to get my hands on the bottom of the bag where my boxers are located. Why did I even pack it like this?

"Aha!"

I took a hold of the familiar fabric and stood up, proudly raising it in the air with a smile.I turned around once I heard Zaccheus' deep voice after cursing. His eyes were hooded and he was biting his lip. He was staring too long that it made me uncomfortable so I followed his gaze and my eyes landed directly at the south. And there I was, butt naked in front of a man I barely new.

"Ah! Go out! Shoo!"

I scrambled to get the fallen towel on my hips again and held it tightly this time. I looked at Zaccheus' back as he sat on the bed then began to remove his shirt like nothing happened. His back muscles flexed as he tugged on his shirt and threw it directly to the bin. I got dressed, glancing at him every now and then just in case another 'accident' happens but luckily, I finished without trouble. It was dark outside and I was getting sleepy. I lay down on the bed, pulling the covers over me.The windows were only half open but I could still feel the cold wind from outside.

"Goodnight Daniel."

Zaccheus said as his breathing became steady that signified he was asleep. I smiled to myself as I heard his small snores.

"Goodnight."

I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep, but I swear I heard weird sounds from another room.
