Chapter 135 - 134. Stop Trying To Kill Me!

Eden was sitting inside the car that had pulled out in front of Red Creek Academy and leaned on the back of his seat. The blond pressed his eyelids together to push the fatigue away. He hadn't slept enough and the only thing he dreamed of was slipping inside his nest. This thought reminded him of the suitcase he had to retrieve from the trunk. It contained the set of blankets covered with the scents of his relatives as well as other things that he had brought back from his cave since he was going to his room in the dormitories.

His heart sank at the idea of being apart from his mate. Just as his mood was about to grow gloomier, he heard the door click open and Glen reached out his hand to help him out. Eden looked lazily at the palm opened in front of him.

"C'mon just one last push," the alpha commented with a smile.

With a disillusioned sigh, Eden put his hand in the palm offered to extricate his body from the car. Glen slammed the door and let him stretch and yawn unceremoniously on the sidewalk as he opened the trunk. He retrieved the suitcase and put it on the ground, next to the car. The alpha walked to his mate and sneaked closer from behind to hug him. He wrapped Eden in his arms, kissed his neck, and left his lips glued against his skin. The sensation made the blond giggle.

"That tickles!" His laugh made the alpha tighten his grip around his waist and when his mate least expected it, he playfully licked the neck of the omega who wriggled into his arms to free himself.

"Hey! Stop that! what do you.."

Eden's rant, who had turned his chest backward to scold his dominant, was stopped by a kiss that took less than a second to become passionate. Without breaking the languorous exchange, the blond turned to face the man and wrapped his arms around his neck. Taking that as encouragement Glen skillfully twirled his tongue in his mate's mouth.

Far from being satisfied with a simple kiss, as feverish and fiery as it was, the alpha began to caress his mate and a hand slipped under Eden's clothes. His fingers moved up to search the skin hidden under the long-sleeved black sweatshirt the omega wore under a beige coat. He found what he was looking for when he finally reached the soft, satin like skin, and the tips of his fingers brushed along the spine.

The contact made Eden shiver because of the difference in temperature and a moan tried to escape from his mouth. However, Glen smothered it with his lips then grabbed Eden's neck with his free hand to prevent him from stepping back.

While his tongue tickled that of his mate, the alpha ran his fingers up the spine of the omega who shivered against him again.

Glen smirked as he felt Eden's body pressed to him and broke their kiss for a second to appreciate his reaction. Suddenly, he spun, dragging Eden with him. He forced the younger werewolf to back up to the car against which he pinned him.

"Hey, what's up with you? You're showing off." The blond turned his face in an attempt to escape the dominant who was determined to pick up where he left off earlier, but Glen grabbed his chin and held his face in place.

He started kissing him again and after another session where their tongues danced and caressed each other, he pulled back.

"I'm giving you my best arguments to convince you not to go back to the dorms and stay with me. I don't want to be apart."

"You're being clingy. I didn't think you would be like that."

"Me neither," confessed Glen placing a wet kiss on his mouth. His eyes didn't avert from the omega's lips. He was staring at them like they were the most appetizing thing in the world.

"It's cute." Eden smiled against his lips after another kiss.

"Enough for you to come back tonight?"

"Absolutely not!" chuckled the blond and Glen shut him with a kiss. The alpha quickly let go of his mate's lips and focused on another target. He started to leave a trail of wet kisses down his neck. He licked, sucked the skin, without worrying about the kiss marks and hickeys he left behind. His seduction pheromones had begun to envelop Eden in a scent of cocoa with woody notes of cinnamon.

"I won't change my mind. The dorm is closer than Connor's house, it will be a hassle to go back and forth every day, plus with Sora and Nube there too, it will be too crowded."

"I'll find something closer. Please don't come back to the dorm." After he finished covering the left side of Eden's neck with hickeys, he decided to move on to the other side and turned his omega's head who let him have his way, a lascivious smile on his mouth.

"Why do you want me near so badly? Does it mean I can finally get into your pants?" The younger werewolf pressed his thigh against his mate's erection that he had been feeling for a while.

He waited for the effect of his bold gesture and the alpha pulled his face away to look at him. Eden saw the medium-ocean green eyes take on a darker shade. Instead of moving away from the contact, Glen pressed his hips a little more against Eden. His gaze was clouded with an almost palpable desire. He groaned and leaned close to his mate's ear to whisper, panting.

"Don't venture down this path, I'm one step away to agree."

"Really? I guess now it's my turn to give you my best arguments."

Eden grabbed his mate's shirt to pull him into a kiss where his tongue swirled fiercely in his mouth while his thigh was still grinding the dominant's erection.

Glen growled against his mouth. He clapped his hands against the car's frozen metal and his body pressed against Eden again. Their kiss was no longer one of those that can be done outdoors.

"I'm going to get detention for inappropriate behavior the same day I come back to school if we keep going," the omega joked after nudging his mate away and forcing him to calm down. "I need to go."

He put his hand on Glen's cheek. The alpha's eyebrows furrowed as he caught his breath after their heated exchange.

"Because of you, I'm going to drive with a hard-on, do you know how painful it is?"

"Payback for the night you marked me! Also, you started it!" Eden retorted with a smirk. A radiant smile curved his mouth and his gaze sparkled. "I need to go because the doorkeeper is giving me a bad look...and Dante has been linking me for a while now."

The omega leaned to the side to wave at his friend who was standing awkwardly near the academy's doorkeeper.

His whole body was stiff as if it was the one who had been surprised in a steamy situation. He didn't dare look in the direction of the werewolf next to him. The latter was unable to say something to Eden because he was too far away, so he has cast at him a silent glare that was sharp enough to pierce his conscience.

Eden chuckled and decided to end his best friend's suffering. He pushed his mate away. His alpha's dejected air after being snubbed melted his heart but he moved away and after a playful wink, the omega grabbed his suitcase to walk away.

The omega greeted the doorkeeper with the most innocent look he had in stock. However, he rushed inside when he saw the latter narrow his eyes, forcing Dante to pick up the pace too to catch up with him.

When they were far away enough, they slowed down and Dante glanced sideways at his friend.

"You walk funny…"

"Would you walk like nothing happened if Cherry had kissed you like that?"

"Nope…"

A brief silence settled in and Eden, who couldn't take it anymore, rolled his eyes. He knew his best friend too well and he knew the beta was dying to comment.

"Go ahead, enjoy yourself, please."

As soon as he finished these words, Dante snorted and Eden, annoyed, punched him on the shoulder with his free hand. The beta took the punch, too busy holding his stomach as he laughed.

"Man, you're annoying!" The blond stated.

"No, but… I was thinking about what you said back then."

"Back then? When?"

"'I'll get over him.' When you said that, you sounded so sure! Honestly, I was impressed. We didn't know yet he was your fated mate but, it didn't matter. You fought the temptation like a real warrior. And look at you now. Almost fucking in front of the…Ouch!"

"What the hell, Dante?" cried Eden after he hit his friend again. He looked around to see if there was anyone around. "Keep it down!"

"Now you're worried? I saw you grinding his dic… Aouch!" shouted the beta after his friend's new punch.

"Dumbass!" Eden rushed to the Omegas' dormitory leaving his friend behind.

"You still walk funny!" Dante shouted out behind him and he burst out laughing when he saw the middle finger that Eden raised in the air.

When he disappeared behind the gate after checking in at security. The beta wiped away a tear and put his hands into his sweatpants' pockets.

"I think things will be very funny from now on."

He shook his head and headed to his dorm to get ready for the classes that would start later.

Eden went back to his room and heaved a sigh. He frowned when he saw Cherry wasn't inside. Where could the female omega be at such an early hour? Dante hadn't told the female omega he was back so he could surprise her.

He made a disappointed pout and decided to set up his nest and the things he had brought back from the cave. As soon as he was done, he packed his things for his morning classes.

Luckily, before Connor's bad events, he had caught up on most of the homework. One sleepless night or two would be enough for what is left. He would ask Cherry and Dante to give him their most recent notes and he would talk with his teachers.

The blond got into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for his classes. He had a little over half an hour before class started. He entered under the water and fifteen minutes were enough for him to be ready.

Eden was coming out of the bathroom, his t-shirt and boxers on, his towel around his neck to absorb the drops of water when a huge blow hit the back of his head. He staggered and winced because of the pain.

"Oh, my Moon Goddess! Eden! What are you doing here?"

The male omega put his hand on the spot that had just been struck and looked at the hands of Cherry who was holding a huge dictionary.

"Fuck! Cherry, it hurts! "

"I'm sorry, Eden! I didn't mean to hurt you! I thought someone had broken in."

The omega female rushed to him after dropping the weapon of her unintentional crime which fell to the ground making it tremble.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry!"

"Why would anyone do that? And how? We are in the dormitory of the most secure establishment in the country, Cherry. There are fucking guards with tranquilizer guns at the entrance to the portal and they won't even let the mates of the marked omegas in. How could anyone break-in?" groaned Eden massaging the bump.

Cherry shrugged sheepishly and mumbled an apology again. As she looked at her friend, something caught her attention. She squinted, a gleam of excitement in her eyes then grabbed the male omega's chin to turn his head to expose his neck.

With a shrill scream, she jumped on Eden and threw her arms around his neck. The werewolf who wasn't expecting her sudden onslaught, and lost his balance. They both fell to the ground and the blond hit the floor with his back. He winced in pain and seriously considered using his newfound strength to toss his best friend across the room.

"You're marked, Eden! You're marked!" she cried out happily, unaware of her friend's bad mood.

"Yes I am, but… Cherry, stop trying to kill me already!"
