Samantha's POVI arrived at Adam's house by seven at night with Adrian. We had dinner together, and I put Adrian to sleep in one of the rooms Adam had prepared for us. I would have lived with Adam had Ric not insisted I lived within the royal pack house. I bet I'd feel more at home, although I couldn't deny that it felt cool to have beautiful scenery and wonderful food service at the royal pack house, as well as other perks that came with staying there.Adam and I sat by the veranda on one of his old benches. I never lived with Adam in the past, but his place felt so homey as though I did. Also, Adam and I had gotten closer during my years at Arcana Hills, we were never this close until I left for the Academy. He always visited and spoke to me and Adrian often then he became the parent I never had, and I loved him for that.To think that he had no family of his own, no mate, as he claimed he had no mate. It was saddening because Adam was a wonderful man. I wondered why someone as prec
Samantha's POVI was now left alone with Adam. He was still standing by the door, just giving that stare that was enough scolding. I sighed; I knew he was about to make me explain. It wasn't easy not to get on Alaric's nerves because he was also annoying to begin with; Adam just didn't know that. He finally took his first step, then came into the dining area. For real, I felt I was being scolded already, even without him saying a word."What happened in here?" Adam asked. He sounded disappointed."Alpha Ric got mad, like you already know," I said. I was in my defensive mode now."What did you do?" He asked."Like you might have guessed. He still insisted we ate and talked about work in here. I didn't want that, and he got mad," I said, intentionally skipping the part where I walked out on him because I didn't want Adam to drag this matter any further. Even if he agreed with me, he couldn't just scold Ric or do anything about it. Ric was his Alpha too."Really?" Adam said, tilting his
Samantha's POV"You're not eating?" Alaric said while already taking a spoonful of his. He stopped and raised his gaze to me."I'm not hungry," I said, folding one hand below the table. Alaric dropped his spoon and relaxed back on his chair."I'm not leaving here until you eat that," He said, and I passed him a sharp look. I was in disbelief. "That's bullying, Alaric," I said, and he chuckled mockingly, then leaned towards the table with arms resting on it."Really?" He said, tilting his head nonchalantly. "I mean, you can try to leave." He had brought his voice low to speak, but the threat in his voice still remained. I looked away, boiling within. Weren't him and Lily just the same? Bullying because they were in a position of power. What a perfect match."The only reason I'm pinned down to this chair is because of Adrian. I don't need him being subdued by your aura all because you're pissed off at a lady!" I said, raising my voice.Alaric hissed and passed me a sharp look this time
Samantha's POV"Except she's an insecure woman," he said and walked towards the door that led to our eating area. I followed him hastily. I could just walk out on him, but no matter how angry I was, I couldn't disrespect him at every chance I got. He was still the Alpha of my pack."I don't want to talk to you, Ric. I don't want to eat your food," I said behind him, but he ignored me and pulled a chair at the dining area. He looked at me intensely, and my heart reacted instantly. Maybe this was because he saved Adrian. Maybe my heart was just leaping at every chance around him because I was grateful.'We've been like this since we returned to this pack, what are you talking about, Samantha?' Ariana said, and I almost swore at her. She acted more on instinct. I was the mind of reasoning here."But you accepted it," Alaric said, his gaze still boring into my soul."Because I was going to trash it," I said, purposely to annoy him. Annoying him was better than having lunch with him. I mea
Samantha's POVI had to cook up a lie to tell Adrian the reason Alaric was in our room. I couldn't possibly tell him it was because I had fainted and had some vision. I didn't want to worry him. He was too young for all the drama happening in my life right now. While some were unavoidable for him to witness, I'd protect him from the ones I could. Today, Luna Tamia had asked for a favour from me and that was to have Adrian for the day which I couldn't object to so I let her have him.I had returned to my research like I hadn't fainted twice or had a surreal vision yesterday. Adam was quite respectful enough not to ask me anything. I could tell the question was heavy in his mouth, but he did his best to hold it back until he couldn't."Are you not going to talk about it?" He finally asked. I paused for a few seconds and turned to him. I also had my own questions that I needed him to answer; I was just waiting until after our research for the day."Are you not going to tell me why you d
