"Because it should be for my eyes only," he answered quietly as he pulled back.
Jeayan's face flushed red, feeling shy. She then pulled back her arm and gave him a punch on the stomach.
Behind them, Erick and Amber who had just arrived at the scene, coincidentally saw Jeayan punching Roel.
"Now, that's the Jeayan that I know!" Erick exclaimed. Beside him, Amber rolled her eyes.
Being a shifter and the fact that the punch wasn't that strong, Roel was able to withstand the punch and let his mate vent her frustrations on him. However, seeing that there were two unwelcome presences nearby, Roel turned his head and frowned at the unwanted company who was approaching them.
Seeing the scowl on his face, Amber inwardly shivered with fear and grabbed onto Erick's arm for comfort.
Although he loves the feeling of his mate looking for protection and safety, it does not mean that he liked the idea that she has to be frightened by his older brother to get it. Hence, why his easygoing smile changed to a scowl, matching the one on Roel's face.
"Roel…" he said warningly.
Roel immediately cleared his throat and looked away. Even though he was older than Erick, the latter was the Alpha's son and the future Alpha. He still has to respect him. Also, the latter's wolf counterpart was the lycan prince. Against Calder, Dane will definitely win.
Jeayan shook her head, thinking that her mate can be too impetuous when it comes to scaring people with his serious looking face.
"I assumed that you're here because of 'her' brother, is it?" Roel asked, his arms crossed across his chest. The 'her' he was referring to was Amber.
Before Erick could say anything, he continued, "And that's why you brought Jeayan along with you to soften me up, is it?" exposing their plans straight away.
Amber looked down at her feet, looking guilty while Erick stared at him, wide-eyed, his face saying, 'how did he know all this?'
Jeayan pinched Roel's arm, saying softly, "Why did you not think that perhaps it was me that wanted to go see you?"
Roel decided to keep quiet, not answering her. From Erick's expression and Amber's guilty look, he already knows the truth. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!_52431722540757458 for visiting.
He then let out a sigh. Looking at the three young people in front of him with their expected looks on their faces, he felt like he was a villain if he was to reject their help.
After a moment of silence with a bit of prodding on the side from Jeayan and the pitiful looks from Erick and Amber, Roel finally relented and told them that he will go with them later after work to meet up with Amber's parents.

Late evening.
Working in a restaurant means that he usually worked late at night, which was normal for any worker in this workfield.
He had just left the restaurant through the back exit when he saw the same three young people who visited him that morning, standing near his car. Behind his car, there was another car, which belonged to someone he definitely knew.
They were busy talking with one another and they did not seem to notice Roel walking over to them. Perhaps they did notice but chose to pretend not to. How could they not notice since two of them were shifters?
He then cleared his throat loudly on purpose, trying to get their attention.
Jeayan was the first one who turned around. She then immediately walked over to him, linked her arm around his. "Roel, how was work? Are you tired?" she asked sweetly.
Before Roel could say anything, Erick voiced out, "Stop pretending to be a dutiful wife and let's get going. Time is wasted here." With that, he went over to his car, followed by his mate. He started the car and waited for Roel to go to his.
Roel inwardly rolled his eyes and walked over to his car, with Jeayan still hanging onto his arm. Naturally, she too followed him into the car and drove over to Amber's house.
Shortly after, the two cars soon arrived at Amber's house. Unsurprisingly, the lights were still switched on there, showing that there were still people awake at that time.
When Amber went to her house and went through the front door, she was surprised to see that her younger brother was still awake as well. "What are you doing up, Remi?" she asked curiously at her brother, who was sitting alone at the staircase.
He just shook his head quietly. He did not want to tell her that he was actually waiting for her. He wanted to play with his sister before going to bed.
Just as he was about to say something, he finally noticed a few people behind his sister, coming in the house. His eyes brightened when he saw the familiar young man behind her.
He immediately got up from the staircase and walked quickly towards Erick. "Big brother Erick!" he greeted happily.
Erick grinned when he saw the little guy. He rubbed Remi's head gently. "Hey, big guy. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" he asked.
Again, Remi did not answer but he kept glancing at his sister.
Noticing that perhaps he was too shy to answer the question, Amber told him to get to his room and sleep. But before that, she also promised that she will go to his room to see him.
Happy with the promise, Remi went up to his room, waving enthusiastically at them before he left. "Bye Big brother Erick! Bye big sister and the other scary big brother!" he said innocently.
Roel's face darkened when he heard the word used to describe him.
Amber and Jeayan quickly covered their mouth from laughing. Erick wasn't so subtle as he even laughed out loud.
Surprised to hear that there were huge laughters at the front hall, both Amber's parents walked out of the kitchen.
Apparently, Amber's father had just returned home from the barracks since he was still wearing his uniform. He was just in the kitchen to have his late dinner with his wife accompanying him. Before he arrived, his daughter had called him to come home, saying that there was an emergency.
He was surprised when he got home to find that there wasn't any 'emergency', rather it was more of his daughter wanting him home to meet someone.
He was prepared to scold his daughter for tricking him because for this lie, his job in the military might be jeopardized.
He was about to do that when he heard the front door open and his daughter talking with his son. But before he could say a word, he was interrupted by a huge sound of laughter.
Eren frowned when he saw Erick standing at the front hall, together with his daughter and two other people. The question of 'what are you doing here when you don't have tutoring tonight?' flew out of his mind when he noticed Roel behind Erick.
The frown on his face turned to a bright smile.
"Roel! Welcome!" he greeted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Because it should be for my eyes only," he answered quietly as he pulled back.
Jeayan's face flushed red, feeling shy. She then pulled back her arm and gave him a punch on the stomach.
Behind them, Erick and Amber who had just arrived at the scene, coincidentally saw Jeayan punching Roel.
