Was Wayden a neat freak? Blaine stared at the bed, not liking it one bit. The bed was neatly made, without a trace of Blaine ever being there.

This was another reason not to like him. Blaine liked his life messy and chaotic. Professor Douche was proper and uptight. And Holi thought they could be together… huh… not likely.

Blaine walked to the washroom and quickly got cleaned up. Anticipation buzzed through him at the thought of sleeping in Wayden’s bed again. Blaine tried to push the feeling away, but hecouldn’t. In all honesty, as far as beds went, Wayden’s bed was a good bed. And Blaine was a sucker for a good bed. That was the reason why he was so excited; nothing more.

It’s a good bed, Blaine told himself as he got dressed. When he was done, he walked back into the bedroom and was in the bed in seconds. Professor Douche’s scent enveloped him. Just like last night, the bed was warm and soft. Blaine burrowed into the mattress, holding the covers tight around him. He moaned in pleasure.

Blaine froze when he realised what he was doing. He stared at the shuttle wall, so baffled he couldn’t even sleep. He tossed and turned all night long, unable to relax because the reason he’d come up with earlier didn’t hold water.

In the morning, Blaine stumbled out of bed and made his way to the front of the shuttle. He found Wayden in the cooking station already eating breakfast.

“Good morning?” Wayden said, all cheerful.

“Is it?” Blaine snapped.

“We’re here,” Wayden said, ignoring him.

Blaine walked to the window and stared outside. He gasped at the sight that met him. They were in the most beautiful place he’d ever seen. It was surreal. Blaine walked closer to the window to see better.

Large trees bordered the land, sunlight glinted off the glossy surface of a lake and there were mountains in the distance. It was gorgeous. Even the huts dotting the landscape didn’t take away from it.

Blaine never thought he would be glad to have come on this trip. But right then… he was glad. He breathed in the fresh air drifting into the shuttle. Excitement rushed through him. Blaine ran to his room to go change. He couldn’t wait to get out there.

Chapter 8

Wayden

No… no… no. This couldn’t be happening.

Wayden stared at the destroyed hut in horror. A hut he’d hoped Blaine would use during their stay in the pack, while he remained in the shuttle.

“We had a terrible storm last night. I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts to snow tonight,” Escala said. He looked up at the sky as if he could predict the weather by just staring at it. Well, he was the alpha of the pack, so he probably knew everything about the land. “We could try to rebuild, but it won’t be possible once it starts to snow. I hope the shuttle will be comfortable until we can figure out what to do.”

Comfortable? That was the last thing he’d call the shuttle.

Wayden silently groaned. He wasn’t looking forward to tonight. He’d barely slept the last time he was in his bed becauseBlaine’s scent was everywhere, and he couldn’t help but react to it. Wayden had been so hard; sleep was the last thing on his mind. And he couldn’t even do anything about it in case Blaine heard him. The damn shuttle was too small.

Fuck. He couldn’t do this for months on end. There had to be another way.

“We have a heating malfunction in one of the rooms. Do you perhaps have a technician who can look at it?” Wayden asked hopefully, even though they were far away from civilization. The pack was largely living off the grid without a lot of the amenities Wayden was used to in the capital.

“No,” Escala said. “I’m sorry. We try not to change our land or introduce anything that will be harmful to the environment in the future. The airway and an outdated connector are the only things we allowed the council of alphas to install here because it benefits us. We don’t want anything else.”

“Of course,” Wayden said. He tried not to show his disappointment as he turned away from the ruined hut. Blaine and he could co-exist. They were adults after all. “We’ll manage in the shuttle,” Wayden forced out.

“I’m glad to hear that,” Escala said. “And let’s hope it doesn’t snow in the meantime so we can try to rebuild the hut.”

Wayden nodded. He stared up at the sky and silently prayed. He needed a moment away from that omega.

“Let me introduce you to everyone,” Escala said, turning towards a large hut in the distance. “They’ve been anticipating your arrival. We never have visitors from the capital.”

“I’m sure you have a good reason for that,” Wayden said.

Escala nodded, looking around him with a satisfied grin on his face. “Our way of life is precious to me. And we’ve protected it from the council of alphas’ influence for a very long time. The smallest thing can change everything.”

“Yes, that’s true.”

“You don’t seem to be doing so well out there,” Escala said.
