Chapter- 22. Interactions

[Xanthea]

We were all in Raven's car. He was driving us to the hospital. Ezra sat on the passenger's seat while I sat on the backseat with Asher.

I had quickly changed into a full-sleeved, shin length navy blue dress and matching heels after a bath. They were the only clothes in the cupboard when I came out of the bath, so I assumed this was what they wanted me to wear, so I put it on. It was all good, since none of them said anything. Raven changed into new scrubs brought by his butler in my room.

Ezra didn't look happy about the trip to hospital on the sex day, but he didn't put his dislike into words. Asher, once again, was unreadable. He was more like someone observing everything happening around him and giving as minimum of reactions as he could.

We were still crossing through the long stretch of woods and the ride had been utterly quiet so far. I peered outside the window, but except for passing twinkling lights in the distance, I couldn't see a thing.

I didn't even realize when I dozed off while peering into oblivion.

"What a chivalrous man! Never saw you doing the same courtesy for our previous brides. Most of the time I was the only one soothing them, trying to stop them from crying," I heard Ezra's voice in a daze. "I bet you don't even remember their names."

"I bet you don't either," Raven said, and Ezra chuckled.

"Well, we were talking about Asher, not me."

Soon I realized why Ezra had made that comment and on whom.

My head was resting on Asher's shoulder.

My heart skipped a beat as the heat from the pounding of my heart shot right up into my face. It was so loud I could hear it in my ears and clearly they could as well.

"I-I am sorry... alpha... I didn't realize..." I was about to sit up straight when Asher placed his palm on my cheek, stroking them gently with his thumb as he said.

"It's alright. Sleep a little more. We still have fifteen minutes to reach the hospital," he said, and I shut my eyes with a tight gulp, trying to act as normal as I could.

But every fiber of my body was tense. How could I un-know the fact that my head was resting on Asher's shoulder, and he was ok with it?

I was constantly fidgeting with my fingers, and I could swear my breaths kept quickening every second for the rest of the drive.

I let out my held breath only once I got down from the car in the parking lot of the hospital.

We took the elevator to the third floor.

"You don't ask questions, little toy. While that is a very good habit, aren't you curious why we didn't just teleport here like Raven did in the bathroom earlier?" Ezra said, finally breaking the stillness in the elevator.

I looked at him. That question was the first that came to my mind, but I wasn't sure if it was ok to ask or not.

"Well, first, we love cars and bikes, and we love driving and that's also why the drifting competition in your pack attracted us. Although it wasn't as amusing as it should have been because that's where Asher found you and I haven't been really happy with the way life has unfolded after that for me personally. To be honest, I don't like you at all. But since these two want you around, there's not much I can do," he said.
