Thor's POV
I instantly know it's Eric when the door suddenly opens even before he walks through it. I was supposed to come to grab a quick shower while he went to get clothes for both of us to change into since we were both covered with the stain from my dad's blood.
But instead of getting a shower, I was met with a surprise that turned out to be a distraction. A distraction because I totally let down my guard while we were together. At that moment, anybody could have crept up on me and I wouldn't have known in time until it becomes too late
I instantly cover the girl with the whole length of my body, making sure none of her private parts is showing before Eric walks through the door.
"Get the fuck out Eric, now!" I shout at him and he immediately turns back
"Your clothes are here. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He says behind the closed door and I listen as his quiet footsteps walk away, and down the stairs. Something that I should have done before he walked in on us if I hadn't let my guard down
"Oh fuck! This is so embarrassing!" She says after Eric had closed the door, turning her face away from me, her cheeks red in embarrassment
"Hey, he didn't see anything, I promise," I say to assure her but she still won't look at me. Her countenance has immediately changed from the girl that boldly held my dick in her hand to this person that won't even look me in the eyes.
She gets out of bed and starts to hastily gather her discarded clothes, clutching them to herself in such a way that covers her vital parts from me.
"May I please use the bathroom?" She asks hesitantly in a small voice, her head remains bowed like how Omegas are expected to behave in the presence of their superiors.
"Yeah sure, go ahead," I reply and she hurriedly enters.
She looks surprised when I go in after her. I can see from the look in her eyes that she wants to protest but later change her mind.
'Is she expecting us to take turns using the bathroom?' I think to myself as I take the showerhead while she still stands at the far corner of the bathroom with her clothes balled in her hands, looking unsure of what to do
"Well, are you going to stand there all day? Go drop the clothes on the bed and come back here!" I firmly say to her, irritated a little by her strange attitude but she hesitated, looking as if she has something in mind she needs to say
"Well, if you have something in mind to say to me then say it! Stop acting like a coward!" I snapped this time. I deliberately used the word 'coward' to see how she would react.
I'm surprised when I see her amber eyes harden and flash golden in annoyance... I can tell she wanted to retort but she quickly rein in her temper. That really disappoints me since I already know the sort of wolf she is even before I met her and this she-wolf before me isn't who she is.
She's not supposed to take insults lying low and she's not supposed to cower before any Shifter and why is she even an Omega when I was told she's the daughter of an Alpha? Why is she a maid!?"
And in the beauty department, she's a far cry from what she's supposed to look like. Her hair looks like it was crudely hacked with a blunt knife and whoever advised her to dye what was supposed to be a golden blond to black must have hated her guts...
Also, she's too skinny, looking like someone might just break her into two, but I'm not worried about that, it's nothing that a good diet and exercise couldn't take care of.
Despite the bad haircut and all, some of her beauty still shines through. Her skinny frame makes her boobs appear larger, and I love, love her curves. The boobs, cinched waist, and round hips make me want to hide and keep her for my eyes alone.
After calling her a coward, she angrily wrench opened the bathroom door and left. When she returns she has on her clothes, which means she had no intention of showering with me. She stands by the door with her hands folded over her chest.
"What do you want from me?... Clearly, you're not my mate so what do you want and... And why do I respond to you so much" her cheeks colored when she asked the last part. She is embarrassed but she won't be deterred. The way she's standing with determination says it all
Her questions surprised me. 'What do I want from her?... Why did she respond to my touch?' like how could she be that clueless!? I ask myself
I exhale
"Take off your clothes and come have your bath. I don't have all day. My friend is already waiting for me." I ignored her question because it was stupid and not worth my while
"But you've not answered my question! Are you my mate or not!? If you are then why can't I smell you!?"
She's beginning to irritate me since I neither have the time nor patience to deal with her antics. Like why the fuck is she even asking me this stupid question?
"How old are you?" I ask instead of replying to her question. I can't believe someone her age won't know how to recognize her mate. Especially when we have a special mate bond between us
"What has my age got to do with the question I asked you?" She ask with the same angry tone I used in asking her
"Well, I just wonder if you're mature enough since you still need me to tell you how to recognize who your mate is!"
"Go fuck yourself then!" She blurts out in anger before turning to leave
"What did you say to me?" I ask in surprise. The last time anybody spoke to me with such disrespect was when I was fifteen and the person was my martial art coach. I flew into a rage and beat him to a pulp with my bare hands for calling me a dick-headed bastard."
"I said you can go fuck yourself for all I care asshole, I don't give a damn! Now that I said it, what are you going to do? Beat me up!? Isn't that what male chauvinist pigs like you do? Beat up on the weaker sex!... Well, don't just stand there, come beat me and make sure you don't pull your punches cos I'm used to it!" She shouts furiously while breathing hard.
I stand looking at her. Yes, that's exactly who she is! I want to laugh and tell her she looks beautiful even when she's angry but I can't get my mouth to form a smile because of what she said about people beating her up. My blood boils with anger
"If you don't have anything to say then I'm leaving. You can tell my Alpha about how disrespectful I am to you, I don't give a shit!" She finishes shouting and leaves, making sure to slam the bathroom door behind her.
I'm still standing in the shower stall considering all the questions that doesn't add up when Eric pops his head into the bathroom, interrupting my thoughts.
"Hey man, what's up? What's with your lady friend nearly biting my head off just cos I asked her a question?"
"Lemme grab a quick shower, I'll be with you soon"
"Well, aren't you supposed to be doing that before you were diverted? Who is she anyway?
"My mate."
