Sylvia's POV:
"It wasn't him? So you were with some guy last night, Sylvia!" Pushing my hand away, Flora squealed with excitement, which gave me a headache.
"Flora! Calm down." I grabbed her arm and pulled her to where there weren't many werewolves around.
A mischievous smile spread across her lips. Flora took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay. I'm calm now. So tell me, who was it? Look at your hickeys! Must have been a hot night, huh?"
I covered my neck with my hands and smiled awkwardly. "Don't stare at them."
"Okay, but tell me! Who was it?" Flora grabbed my hand and shook it impatiently.
I looked at her with hesitation. "It's..."
I felt shy and embarrassed.
"Come on, just say it!" Flora's eyes were brimming with curiosity.
"It's Rufus." I lowered my head. "We're actually mates, but we've both agreed to keep it on the down low for now. We can't be public with it yet."
Flora gasped in shock. "I knew there was something going on between you two!"
"You're going to have to keep this secret, okay?" I poked her chin. "If others find out, I just know Rufus will get in trouble. After all, I'm still known as a slave around here. I don't want to give him a hard time."
Flora crossed her heart. "I promise I won't tell anyone. Trust me."
As we walked to our dorm room, Flora continued to gossip along the way.
"I could always tell that Prince Rufus treats you so differently. Wait, so does that mean you haven't accepted each other as mates until last night?" Flora excitedly squeezed my hand.
Helplessly, I nodded. What a chatterbox Flora was, indeed.
"How is he in bed? Was he good? How many times did you do it? Actually, you've got quite a glow on you today. It must be that!"
