Mated to Four Alphas-Chapter 272: Flashback - 12

Silas’s POV

"Well, I have never thought of taking advantage of you, even if I am interested in you. So don’t worry about it."

I didn’t really want to lie to Damon. But if I told him that I know self-defense, or that I know why he was touching me, I don’t think he would be interested in me.

Because it looked like he only liked those omegas who are innocent, weak. So, if he wants that, for him, I can pretend to be weak.

And there is nothing wrong in pretending. It’s not like I’m committing a bigger sin than I already have in my life.

I’ve done worse than this, so lying to Damon is nothing hard for me. It’s easy.

"Damon, why don’t we take a nap first? Look, the weather is very nice outside. And the air is very cold. It’s perfect."

I said, because I also wanted to take a nap, and the weather was nice. Furthermore, I wanted to lie down with Damon, so yes.

"Sure, why not? Because I don’t think the snowfall is going to stop anytime soon. So why would we drain our energy by staying in this kind of weather?" he replied and lay down on the bed.

He holds the pillow in both hands, even while resting his head on it. I also lie down and pull the quilt over me, because yes, I was feeling cold.

I don’t know about him. He must be used to staying in this cold weather, but I’m not. So it was very cold for me.

Even when I covered myself with the quilt, it was still cold. I started to shiver.

My whole body, my teeth—they were also shivering. That’s why I moved closer to Damon.

As I did, my hand touched his, and he was warm. I wanted to hug him, but I knew if I did, he would start lecturing me again.

That’s why I didn’t hug him. Just touching his hand was enough for me.

"Silas, are you okay? Why are you freezing?"

"I am feeling so much cold."

"Why didn’t you tell me sooner, idiot?"

And then he pulled me up onto himself and covered both of us with the quilt.

And as he did, I rested my head on his chest. He was indeed giving me warmth—but not that much.

After that, we even closed the window, but still I was feeling cold.

"Damon, can you hold me?"

"Do you even realize what you are asking right now? Holding you has a different meaning other than a hug." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I know. That’s why I’m asking."

Even if Damon judges me, I don’t care. I just want him to hold me.

When I asked him, he thought for a few minutes and then grabbed my hand and pushed me down on the bed on my back, coming on top of me.

"We will not go all the way. I will just give you warmth."

Saying that, he leaned in toward my lips.

I really thought he was going to kiss me, so I closed my eyes—only for him to cover my mouth with his hand, which made me snap my eyes open.

I saw he was kissing on his hand , but it was his hand that was covering my lips.

I don’t understand why he didn’t kiss me. Still, I didn’t complain, and slowly, because of his warmth, my eyes started to get heavy. I was sleepy. And I fell asleep.

And when I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day. We had slept the whole day—I mean, I had.

And the snow had also stopped. So yeah, we were ready to go back to the palace.

"Did you have a good sleep yesterday, Damon?"

"Yes, I did."

It was good to hear this, because I also had a very good sleep, and I’m feeling so refreshed right now.

After that, we both took a bath, one by one. Thank God, the water was warm enough.

And after that, when we left the room, we didn’t have breakfast. We directly got into the carriage to go to the palace.

"So, Silas, what are you planning? You’ve become 18 years old. What are you gonna do?"

"I haven’t thought much yet, but I’m interested in painting, so I’m thinking of learning."

"Then Kael can teach you. He is a great painter in our whole family."

It was a bit unexpected, because I didn’t know that Kael was a painter—and a good one.

I’m not anything great either. I don’t even know the basics. But one day, I saw a painter on the street.

I want to be a painter like him, and draw the world beautifully on my canvas.

"This would be great, but will Kael teach me? Cuz it seems like he is busy."

"Nope, he will teach you gladly. And even if he is busy, that doesn’t matter. Cuz for you, he can free his schedule."

I don’t think I’m that special to Kael yet, that he would free his schedule for me. I’m still a stranger. But I have interest in him.

Damon is also a nice person. Theron is a bit shy.

And with Lysander... I haven’t talked that much yet, so I don’t know about him. But yes, with Damon, I’ve talked a lot. And Kael too.

"What are you planning to do in the future, Damon? And how old are you?"

"I’m going to be the leader of the pack, so of course I need to learn everything. And I’m 27 years old."

"Whoa, you don’t look 27 at all."

"Really? Then how old do I look?"

"Let me think. You look like... 47? Or maybe 57?"

I was kidding, but his eyes widened when he heard I was making him that old.

I stretched my hand and patted his head.

"I’m kidding. I can’t guess age just by face. And your face is very handsome."

"You are also very beautiful." He said and became happy again.

"You are only flattering me i know" i said.
