章 36: End of Chapter 12
*
It took a while for her to escape the crowd. And she burst free from the alien mass to the cold crisp scent of the night air with a sigh. The halls of Louise were quiet and dark with half of the student population at the party. And the quiet hum of electricity echoed through the corridor in a low steady buzz, the sound of each step she took vibrating off the walls.
The dormitory was dark when she entered, peeling off her shoes with a suppressant spray in her hands, ready to take aim and shoot. The bathroom was quieter when she got ready for bed. Her eyes slid to the partition in the walls where Seraphim could lurk. But he'd closed that portal off, and she no longer had access to it no matter how hard she tried with her hands running over the cool tiles.
Rue supposed they must all be asleep, or perhaps at the party. Although she did feel eyes burning in her skin as she exited the bathroom to which she'd hissed with a snap at the shadows. "Levi, you better not be there." But there was only silence as she waited, then sighed. "Fuck, I feellike an idiot." A low whispery sound that almost seemed like a chuckle echoed across the ceiling, but it could be her imagination. And she scowled, a middle finger into the darkness as she stormed off into her room not wanting to confirm her suspicions.
She crawled into her hard bed, closing her eyes and counting sheep. It didn't take long for her to slip quickly into slumber. She could go into a deeper sleep if not for the destruction of her walls. A crack and light poured in, debris falling in her face in an explosion of paint and plaster.
A startled couple making out tumbling into her space in a heap of smoke, alcohol and sweat. She screamed, shoving the drunk idiots away from her. An Alpha stumbled in, drunk as he blinked at her looking around at her room with his pants down, penis swinging free. The other was on her bed his ass in her face, pink puffy asshole quivering in her fucking face. From the gape of his asshole, the couple must have been fucking for a while before the wall gave way.
Rue gagged.
"Sorry," he mumbled, holding his boyfriend's hand. "Didn't know the closet's occupied. It didn't look like a bedroom."
"Fuck off!" she shrieked, then threw her rock hard pillow in their face.
They fled, leaving through the holes they'd just created with bruises on their arms. Rue groaned, as she peeked out, jaw dropping wide open. Christ. The party. The party was in her fucking dormitory. And it was linked to her bedroom somehow.
The couple was right, Rue observed circling back and forth. Her room was merely a closet, a locked space at the edge of the enormous cavern. And the debris was all just cheap cardboard and wood with paint. The only reason why she'd barely heard the party was because of the technology that was hammered into her door. Music screamed through her walls, bass thumping hard and she muffled an irritated groan.
For fuck's sake, could her day get any worse? Rue observed the damage, considering her options she could try to patch it up with whatever she had, cover the damage up with her coat. But that wouldn't protect her and there was no way she could sleep–
She swallowed down another scream, as a tiger leapt into view, sniffing her. It was enormous, with blood red stripes. The hulking beast was three times bigger than the average animal she'd seen at the zoo. And it set off a deep, rumbling full-throated snarl. It's ears dropping flat against his skull, eyes fixated on her face. She blinked, swallowed then began to yell.
"Whoever the fuck brought their fucking tiger to the party. Can you please escort your pet to–"
She almost screamed when it stood on its hindlegs, almost as if to pounce. And then it was transforming rippling and melting into dark blood inked tattoos on a fleshy, muscular arm. A man stood before her, arm pressed against the broken remains of her walls, caging her in.
He stared down at her with long dark hair, pierced lips stretching into a cruel smirk. And God he was fucking gorgeous, jawline jewed from sin. Pierced and glittering with silver in all places. His tattoos were gorgeous on hard, stoney planes of velvety muscle. But his eyes had not changed, and continued to be the most adorable of quivering warmth.
He was naked waist up, and she tried not to stare at the piercing of pink nipples, and the definition of his six-pack abs. Or the ring on his navel flanked by dip V-lines, and the happy trail of dark curls that began from his belly button and continued down to the edge of his dark sweats.
"Rue."
Her eyes widened as he tilted his head to the side, tongue moistened red lips. His hair was long, curling pretty to his neck. "Halcyon?"
He smirked. "Mm, you remember this time. I thought I had to beat it into you." Her eyes widened, glanced at the tattooed sleeve of his arm. He shifted his weight, and her eyes darted to the bulge between his thighs. The fabric clung tight to his thighs, and the shape of his penis was almost completely visible. And she could clearly make out the length and the bulbous curve of the mushroom head. She twitched. He was massive everywhere. "Comes with the animals," he explained with a shrug.
"You were a bunny."
Her mind spun to the past, lost in the memory of a sweet bunny alien, hidden behind a sweater and always with a hood over his head. She'd assumed that his abilities had been limited. And had called him a bunny for the foot taps, the twitching nose, the slightly larger front teeth and the adorable wide eyes.
What Rue didn't know was that he could transform into an animal of his choice.
"Not for a while,"he growled, eyes growing darker. "Not since that fucking day. I can't do prey animals anymore."
"Cool," she stated, not knowing what else to say. "I'll get back to sleep," she nudged her head towards the hole of her room. "You can go back to whatever you were doing." Her eyes dropped to his bulge again and she glanced back up, strangely tongue-tied. His smirk grew, lip ring shiny in the light. And she found herself wanting to explain. "I guess you were testing the elastic of your pants? Were you wearing pants as a tiger? I can't remember–"
"It's an illusion Rue," he explained, voice growing a little husky. "I'm not actually wearing anything."
"Oh, right. Damn," she swallowed, oddly nervous as he grew only closer, animal like in his stare. "Nice, meeting you again. I guess." She turned, trying to leave but his free hand clamped down into the wall, puncturing another hole straight through the cardboard. He laughed.
"My Artemis, I forgot this was bad quality. I should know since I sourced it myself."
"What do you mean?" she turned to him then, arms crossed. He caught her gaze, his eyes locking with hers. They never left as his arm darted out and tore the door of the closet off, revealing her room in all its glory. He beamed, dusting his fingers off.
"I'm your roommate. I held the party, it's our housewarming," he grinned wickedly. "Sleep wherever the fuck you want. We're sharing the room after today." He turned then, strode off into the crowd. Rue stared at his ass as he sauntered off, his butt cheeks jiggled as he moved.
