Depend On Me [18+]

Bad cop

What's your room number? Kaiden asks in a cold voice. He was biting his lips and look like he was going to attack someone in any second. Damn it! I specifically ask them to put us in the same room. 

1005. I respond, hiding a smile. It was the first time that I saw Kaiden losing his cool outside the bedroom. It was quite fun to see. 

"Do you have any idea why our orders were not carried out?" Kaiden asks in a neutral tone. I silently raise both eyebrows and glance sharply at Delilah's expression.

She purses her lips and stares at Kaiden. After a while, she sighs and we followed her into the elevator. We stop on the 7th floor. 

"We were given specific orders to put both of you into Alpha's floor. Alpha Black already sent out your application a year ago; however, Ms. Faye-Hunter was sent out a few months ago. Although the building is coed, the Alpha floor has not been for the most part. Sadly, it's not possible for both of you to be in the same room. We have specifically prepared Zamora's room to make sure it's open and nature-like. "

We stopped in front of 709. 

"Mr. Dan, Mr. Feri, and Mr. Simons. This is your stop. To gain access, hold up your bracelet to the scanner and you're all set to go." She demonstrates and the scanner flashes red. 

Raol spent no time and holds up his bracelet. The light flashes green and the door opens. We walk into a small living room with a kitchenette with 4 doors facing each other. Jade and Raol hurriedly rush to the opposite and claiming it as theirs.

"Sadly, the rooms are already assigned based on your surveys..." 

Eros stands at the door awkwardly, tugging at the edge of his shirt. I bump his shoulder and he grimaces. 

"What's wrong?" I ask leaning against the wall. My eyes stray to Delilah and Kaiden arguing in the living room. 

He rubs the back of his neck and sighs. "Nothing's wrong."

I scoff and nudge him with my leg. "Don't lie to me. Is there anything I can do to help?"

He shakes his head. "Not really. It's just that ..." He gulps and looks away. "There is too much magic around."

I freeze and stares at him questioningly. "I thought you would like that, being a warlock and all."

He wraps his arms around himself and shrugs. "I mean. It is a great place since our spells are stronger here, but I feel a bit unstable having that much power."

"You don't want to lose to control." I state watching his expressions. He glances at me nervously and shrugs. 

"I tend to go on excessive power trips when I have access to large amounts of magic, and I always lose control in the end. I'm just worried and a bit scared, especially when I have something to protect." He said glancing at Jade's back. 

"Does this have to do with your colorful past?" 

"Some." I look at him and he bites his lips. "Okay fine. Most of it has to do with that."

"I bet I could stop you. How bad can it get?"

"I could destroy this building and everyone in it." He laughs without humor and runs his hand through his hair.

"Oop."

"I don't ever want to reach that point. Not when I have Jade and our relationship-"

I gasp and poke him hard in his chest. "You admit it! You've been so secretive in school, acting like you're in teen drama or something."
