I just nodded and let my tears flow.
“Shh, sweetheart, don’t cry. It’ll make this so much harder. Just think of it as a vacation, okay?” He said.
I laughed through my tear–soaked eyes as I snuggled into him. Calming myself. I pulled back from him and smiled.
“I’ll be good, I promise. Next time you see me, you’ll see a new Lyla,” I said.
“No, sweetheart, you don’t need to change your perfect the way you are. Next time I see you is when I come to take my Luna for our mating. I want to see a happy Lyla, not a new one” Said Jax.
I could see the sincerity in his eyes when he said all that. Even though I smiled from the inside when he mentioned our mating, my stomach
turned.
What was happening to me?
Why did the thought of our mating seem unappealing to me now?
However, I didn’t let my thoughts show on my face and smiled at Jax. After another round of goodbyes and kisses, Jax and my brothers left. Leaving me in the eerie hallways of Maxwell academy. I sighed and turned around to go toward my dorms. Alana had already left, saying she would wait for me there. However, I didn’t expect to come face to face with the twins the moment I turned. How long have they been standing there, and why didn’t I hear them come?
“Your highnesses,” I said, bowing a bit.

“What did we say about the royal protocol, Lyla?” I heard one of the princes say.
I straightened and gave them an apologetic smile. It was going to take some time to get used to how they wanted me to act.
“Are you okay? You seem like you’ve been crying.” I heard the prince
say.
Looking at them for a split second, I swear I could see concern flash, but when I looked closer, their eyes were stoic.
“Goodbyes are hard,” I said, shrugging.
“You’ll see them again, don’t worry. Now let us escort you back to your dorm room…” I went to protest. I couldn’t have royalty escort me, but before I could speak up, the other prince cut in, we insist! It’s late and walking alone at night isn’t safe. Especially if you are new here, you could get lost,” he said.
He did have a point and, by the way they were talking, they seemed adamant, it didn’t seem I was getting much of a choice in the matter. Sighing, I nodded and walked between them. The walk was quiet, with the twin’s eyes hazing over from time to time. They were probably mind linking with each other. Even though this should’ve been awkward, for some reason, it felt right, me walking between them felt right, like I belong here. Before my thoughts could go haywire again, I shook head and concentrated on the dorms that came into view.

Reaching them, I smiled at the twins and thanked them.
“See you tomorrow in class, dear Lyla.” Said one of the twins.
Then both of them did something I hadn’t expected in a thousand years. At the same time, they bent down and kissed each side of my cheeks, leaving me stunned. Seeing my stunned reaction, they chuckled and left, but not before leaving me a wink. I stood there stupefied, and only

one thought rang in my head.
What the fuck just happened?
Lyla’s POV:
It had been five minutes since the twins had left me here baffled in
front of the VIP dorm entrance.
What the fuck had just happened, and why did that happen?
Was it just me, or did both the princes,
and why didn’t I say anything to them our to–be kings, just kiss me,
when they pulled back? And, the
weirdest thing was their kisses had given me these strange, funny feelings in my stomach. Was it because of the kisses or the power that oozed off them? She–wolves were attracted to male wolves of power. It was a drug to she–wolves, like their own personal stash of heroin. So was it that or the fact I actually liked myself being kissed by them? It was probably the latter. I was a growing she–wolf that would fully be matured into a wolf in a month, so the power was just attracting me, plus I had Jax. I couldn’t like the twins. Jax was to be my mate in at month, and I shouldn’t be getting these weird tummy jumps because of other male wolves‘ kisses, no matter how drop dead gorgeous they
were.
What would Jax think of all this if he found out that not even two hours after him leaving, I had guys kissing me, regardless of the fact they were on the cheek, it was still wrong. I know I would’ve hated it, probably burned with jealousy if my to–be mate was cozying up to she- wolves and letting them kiss him.
