Mated to Four Alphas

Silas’s POV

"I had 50 or 56 followers, right? But now I have 1,000 followers—it’s a miracle!" My eyes widened, and my heart thumped calmly. This feeling was so different. I turned onto my back and started checking the list of followers.

"Umm... there are so many new people I don’t even know."

I put my phone down, spread my arms wide, and let them rest on the bed. My back ached, but there was nothing I could do about it. So, I quickly sat up and grabbed the cookie box. As I bit into the chocolate cookies, the crunch echoed in the room, and crumbs fell onto my lap—not that I cared. I just kept eating.

I finished half the box, then drank some water. Thank goodness there was already a water purifier beside the bed on the table. It wasn’t big, but it did the job. I filled a glass, drank it in one go, then filled another. After that, I took out my meds from their packets.

"Thank God they’re just capsules in different colors. I really hate taking medicine—it’s so bitter. But capsules? At least they have no taste, so it’s fine."

I popped three different-colored capsules into my mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed them. Then, I downed the entire glass.

Sitting on the bed, I turned off the lights and placed the cookie box on the table. Wrapping myself in the blanket, I set my alarm on my phone before lying down. The room was cold since the AC was on, and the chilly air made my eyelids feel heavy. Still, I kept staring at the ceiling for no reason. It was eerily silent, and for the first time, I was sleeping in a different room, away from my own.

I pulled the blanket up to my neck, gripping it tightly as if to keep it from slipping away. Then, I closed my eyes.

Suddenly, I heard a vibration beside me. My eyes snapped open, darting around the room.

"What was that?"
