Pulling the bedsheets off her body, Eliz turned around and saw Xander sleeping peacefully by her side. His upper body was bare and she needed no one to tell her first before she know his lower body was also bare.
Her cheeks turned red when she remembered how wild they were last night, especially when the alcohol took over their system.
She stepped her foot on the cold floor one after the other and stood nakedly in the room. Her eyes scanned the room and it landed on her dress which was on the floor.
She approached it gently, picked it from the floor, and found out it was ripped apart. A blush appeared on her face and was immediately replaced with disappointment.
" Why did you allow him to rip your clothes apart? " Her wolf Eli who has been quiet since last night asked and Eliz sighed.
" I was just too happy and my hormones were taking the best of me" Eliz replied telepathically and sat on the cold floor.
" You were so wild and rough last night. I thought you haven't done it before" Eli snapped and another blush crept on Eliz's face.
" You sure don't know how it feels and you will never experience it" Eliz retorted and Eli groaned in her head. That was the cruelest thing someone had told her since her existence.
" Then fix this mess by yourself! I don't mind watching walk out of here naked! " Eli said angrily and went quiet.
" What a traitor! " Eliz scoffed and stood up from the bed. She walked to the bedside and fixed her gaze on Xander's Sleeping face. She leaned her face closer and closer but then her face inched and she have to lean back and scratch it with her fingers.
She stretched her hands forward to raise the comforter and see how big he is but quickly stopped when she saw him move his body.
" You're an idiot Eliz" she scold herself and started thinking of how to get her dress fixed.
Turning to look at the wall clock, she saw that it was already 7:30 am and that means she has been fooling around for the past 30mins.
Without thinking twice, she grabbed a grey T-shirt and wore it. It hung down to her knees and she took a baseball cap she found on the reading table and wore it on her head before sneaking out of the room.
~~~~Eliz and Mariam's apartment~~~~
" Thought you abandoned me for a man," Mariam said when she heard the door squeak open with her back turned to it.
" I.." Eliz tried to talk but was interrupted by Mariam's scream.
" Why are you dressed like an amateur robber?" Mariam placed her palm on her chest and let out a deep sigh.
" Do I look like one? " Eliz asked and threw the cap and her shoes on the floor.
" You scared me for a minute" Mariam mumbled and sat on the bed while Eliz joined her.
" What a weak wolf with a weak heart" Eliz scoffed and sat next to her on the bed.
" Why are you dressed like this? I mean where is your pretty dress?" Mariam asked with her eyes scanning Eliz's body.
" He ripped it off so I have no choice but to wear his shirt" Eliz replied and Mariam gasped.
" Eliz you're an idiot," Eli said in Eliz's head.
" Same to you Eli" Eliz replied and just then, the pack drum was heard and Eliz turned to face Mariam, who shared the same look with her.
" An important pack meeting has been called. Get dressed and let's leave" Mariam told Eliz who quickly changed into a pair of trousers and an off-shoulder top to flaunt the hickeys.
Minutes later, they arrived at the pack meeting arena which was now filled with people. Eliz and Mariam forced their way to the front but they were stopped by those at the front so they had no choice but to stand in the middle of the crowd.
Eliz tiptoed to see if she could see Xander but those at the front were taller than her so her view was obstructed by their heads.
" Hey, Mariam" Eliz called and rubbed her shoulder with Mariam's shoulder and Mariam turned to look at her.
" Can you lift me?" She asked and before Mariam could reply she quickly added "Stop giving me that look. I just want to see Xander's face for just two seconds" Eliz pout at her and Mariam shook her head.
" Just two seconds," she said and lifted Eliz.
" OMG! He's approaching us" Eliz squealed and Mariam dropped her.
" Do you think he's coming to ask for his shirt from me? Will he think I stole it? " Eliz placed her hand on Mariam's shoulder and asked her with fright on her face.
" Mate" Eliz heard that familiar voice and she turned back to look at him. She traced his eyes and found out it was fixed on one person. Before she could process it, she saw him walk past her and hugged her best friend.
