I Traded My Wolves for a Cold-Blooded Serpent, But Why is He Always Hitting on Me Chapter 06

Back at the family mansion,

the first floor only held John, Jay, and Jacob.

The air was awkward.

Jacob put down his game controller and glanced between me and Serpentes.

John drawled: “Why are you here?”

“It’s my house. Can’t I come back?” I snapped.

John’s face didn’t change. His smile almost grew wider.

I staned: *…?”

Jay set down his fruit plate and walked over. He tilted my chin playfully:

“Ella said you refused to come home. Now you’re here suddenly. Did you miss us?”

I stepped back. Before I could speak,

Jacob cut in: “Obviously. She can’t survive a day without us.”

Serpentes stood behind me, voice cold: “She doesn’t look sad.”

John’s eyes flashed: “Who the hell are you?”

A violent aura burst out.

I quickly grabbed Serpentes’ cold hand to calm him.

Wolves and serpents were both deadly fighters. If they fought, it would be a bloodbath.

Jay dragged out his words, teasing:

“You’re trying to make us jealous with him?”

“Snakes are cold-blooded. And Ella said this one’s worse-no feelings at all.” Jacob scoffed. “You really think you can fix him?

Suddenly,

Jay squeezed my chin hard.

He stared at the bite mark on my neck from the day before, voice sharp:

“What’s that? A hickey?”

The room exploded.

Jacob stood up, grinning bitterly: “Hah? The hell is that?”

In a second, I was pulled behind a cold hand.

Serpentes smiled faintly, coldly: “Get lost.”

Jay’s face twisted: “What did you say?”

Tension snapped.

Then Ella came down the stairs, smiling: “I heard you guys all the way upstairs. What’s going on?”

I knew her too well. I said flatly: “They think this is a hickey. They’re mad and want to check.”

Sure enough, Ella’s smile froze.

Her eyes locked on my neck.

…So it is?” She stared between me and Serpentes.

“What do you think?” I didn’t answer. I asked her back.

Ella stayed quiet. The air turned thick.

John stepped forward, hands in pockets, casual: “You never let marks show before. Why now?”

… Because I didn’t think it counted as a hickey.

His words clicked for everyone.

Jacob gasped: “Oh right! You always covered them up before.”

Jay narrowed his peach eyes.

Ella clicked her tongue: “Sis, Dad wants you in his study.”

She pointed at Serpentes: “You don’t need to go with her.”

I gently pulled my hand out of Serpentes’ grasp. I paused at the door.

I turned back: “Don’t you dare hurt him,”

“Hurt him? Jacob repeated, laughing. “Mia, in your head-

I left before he finished.

The room went dead quietly behind me.
