Chapter 168 

Biancha POV 

Lying down with Toren provided all the solace I needed in this world. He was so warm and huge that he wrapped me up in his arms and I instantly went off to sleep, his scent washing all over me. 

I hadn’t slept so well all my life. A mattress was a luxury for me, and on top of it, sleeping with Toren soothed my senses. When I woke up, I stretched my body with a yawn, feeling fresh and rejuvenated. A smile spread on my lips and I rose from the bed. As I walked out of my room, I heard Aiden and Toren talking about something regarding species. Intrigued, I stopped at the door and leaned my ear against the wood. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“This book states the species that are extinct,” Aiden said. 

A pause later, I heard shuffling of pages. “Man, the list is long!” Toren sighed. 

“Yeah!” Aiden gritted, as if frustrated. 

Why were they reading about extinct species? Finding it strange, I stepped out of my room and walked to where they were sitting. They were both surprised to see me. Toren closed the book immediately as he looked at me with wide eyes. A faint blush crept on his cheeks. “Biancha?” 

“Hi!” I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, embarrassed that I had intruded on something important. “I’m sorry.” Turning around quickly, I muttered, “Sorry for intruding!” 

“Hell, no!” Toren replied. “Come back. We could use your help.” 

I turned back to look at him. As I glanced at Aiden, I found him pursing his lips. “Yeah, you can help us,” he murmured. 

For the next two hours, all of us researched about the extinct species of Lore. “Why are we researching it?” I asked, feeling slightly irritated. 

“Are you bored?” Toren asked. 

I let out a rough exhale. “I am!” 

His lips curled up. “Would you like to have coffee?” 

When I nodded, he jumped up and rushed to the kitchen, leaving me with Aiden. I gave him a tight smile and continued reading my book. 

“Can I ask you a question?” Aiden’s words broke the chain of my thoughts. 

“Sure!” I looked at him with curiosity. 

He licked his lips as if wondering whether he should ask about it. Then he sucked in a ragged breath and asked, “Has this ever happened to you 

earlier?” 

“What?” I said, my brows furrowing. 

“Men getting attracted to you? Even strangers getting attracted to you?” 

His question was so off–putting that I clenched my jaw in anger. 

He corrected himself immediately, sensing my anger. “I’m sorry, Biancha,” he said. “But there’s no other way of putting my question to you.” 

I looked away. “No, it hasn’t. This was something pretty unwarranted. People are just perverts!” 

Aiden nodded. “Thanks, Biancha, but I may ask more in the future.” 

When I stared at him, he stared back. Lowering his voice, he almost growled, “Toren and I are cousins. We have each other’s backs. I don’t know why Toren is so invested in you, but he is completely head over heels in love with you. The surprising part is that he fell for you the day you met him. But that day, even I felt an attraction towards you, like all the men out there at the restaurant. Now-” he looked over his shoulder to check if Toren was coming. He looked back at me and continued, “I don’t want Toren’s heart to break. He is loyal to T. If you have him in your clutches because of whatever magic you are churning out, then let me tell you, once the magic breaks and this thread between you and him snaps, I’ll hunt you from the depths of hell and wring your neck! Do you understand?” 

My mouth fell to the floor as I gaped at Aiden. His fury was evident in his eyes that flashed amber. And Toren loved me? What kind of insta–love was this? I had feelings for him which were indescribable, but love? Did I love him back? How could you love someone who you’d just met? Or was he my mate? The thought made my head reel. Mate? 

Aiden didn’t stop. “You are wolf less and so there’s no way you can say that he is your mate. Then explain to me this weird attraction! Even though I feel attracted to you sometimes, my attraction is nothing compared to Toren’s. So tell me, what is it you’re doing? Are you some sort of gold digger? Are you trying to force your way through his heart?”

Chapter 168 

I didn’t have words to answer him, so I snapped my mouth shut. What he said hurt a lot. Tears welled in my eyes. “I’m not a gold digger,” I said in a gravelly voice. “And I didn’t ask you to give me space here. It was you people who wanted me to stay here.” A tear rolled out. I wiped it. “I’m equally puzzled by what occurred at the restaurant because I didn’t know any of them. All I can say is that some men are perverts. Maybe a group of perverts came to the restobar and decided to behave like this with me? I don’t know!” 

Aiden stabbed his fingers through his hair, gritting his teeth. He shook his head and closed his eyes, as if trying to unravel a mystery. “Look, I just don’t want Toren’s heart to break. You are wolf–less, and so your mate bond is not manifesting. But Toren’s strong attraction is undeniable. And so I believe that you’re not a werewolf.” 

Once again, shock and surprise washed over me. My gaze drifted to the books about various species they were reading about, and suddenly it occurred to me what they were trying to ascertain. “I’m not a witch!” I blurted. Turning my hands around, I said, “I don’t have magic. I am a werewolf. Maybe I’m a late bloomer.” 

Aiden raised his eyebrow and opened his mouth to say something when Toren came in with three cups of coffee. He gave one to me and sat down beside me with a big smile on his face. Aiden looked at us and took a ragged breath. Toren cocked his eyebrow. “What?” 

“Nothing!” Aiden huffed. He picked up his coffee mug and walked out of the room. 

“Is something wrong?” Toren asked me. 

How could I tell him about the conversation? All I could do was stay away from him. So I got up, smiled at him, and walked back to my room, carrying the book in my hand. Toren watched me leave with doubt and anger. I closed the door a little more forcefully than required to stop Toren from following me. Feeling horrible, I sat on the bed and spread the book in front of me. I wasn’t the one who asked Toren to love me. He followed me. Yes, his attraction- our attraction was gargantuan, but it wasn’t my fault. Tears ran down my cheeks. My little euphoria came to an end. Anger bubbled inside my chest, and all I wanted was to go away from here. 

When Toren opened my door, he was holding a plate heaped with rice and chicken. “I thought you would be hungry,” he said with a soft face. 

Looking at him was enough to melt my anger. I nodded. “Yes.” 

He chuckled and came to me. “I knew.” He watched me eat. “Do you want to go out?” 

“I want to!” I exclaimed. I needed a change. “But with-” 

“Ah, don’t worry,” he cut me off. “I’ll take you to a secluded spot where no one can see you.” 

The idea was fantastic. “Great! Let’s go.” 

Toren stopped the car at the base of a grassy knoll outside the town. It was so beautiful that I couldn’t help gasping. The velvety night sky stretched over the knoll with stars twinkling and the waxing moon shining between them. “It’s breathtaking!” 

“Hmmm…” he said, looking at me. “No one will come here.” He caught my hand and pulled me up with him. When we reached the top, I almost squealed as a fresh cool breeze hit my skin. We both sat there together, watching the night sky. 

This was bliss. I leaned my head over his shoulder as he curled his arm around my waist. Our connection was soul deep. It couldn’t just be a lewd attraction. I could feel it. 

“Ooooo, lovers!” a nasal voice reached my ears. I whipped my head to the left to see three boys standing a few feet away and studying us. No, watching me. 

Not again!
