Chapter 7

Adeena's P.O.V

I didn't think I'd be tiptoeing into a guy's room. But here I am, tiptoeing down the hallway and to Kalan's room.

I didn't hear him come home, I'm guessing he's still out and about. Isaac and the girls were still downstairs watching movies on that thingy they call a television, I've honestly never seen one up close, I've heard about them but never seen one.

My parents are very strict and high classed people, we don't have those in the Moon Kingdom, I'd be surprised if we finally moved into life of modern technology. Not that we don't have a few modern items, but we don't have gadgets such as the phone, laptop, television, none of those.

Just books, a never ending library of books, and if that wasn't enough, classes, regular lessons, almost everyday lessons, I grew so accustomed in that life, I didn't even care what was on the outside of our place.

The door quietly opened and I walked in, still quiet, I don't know why I'm tiptoeing if he's not even in here, it just feels like a crime.

"Adeena", a low and tiresome voice calls.

The tired voice caused every hair on my body to stand up, my body froze and I closed my eyes tightly, I didn't want to see him naked or something standing in here.

"What're you doing?" Kalan confusingly asks.

"I'm, uhhh....I thought you weren't here" I answer with my eyes still shut and my arms swaying innocently.

"Why are your eyes closed, do you not want to see me naked?" he asks in such a tone, I had no idea if he was joking or being serious.

I spin around to leave but I accidentally bumped my head into the door, so hard I fell back with a yelp of pain. Not only was my head throbbibg immensely, but now my bum hurt from the sudden impact it received.

The room was quiet for a few seconds, giving me enough time to rub my the side of my head and whine in pain. Now, sleep was definitely not longer on my list of thing to do today, because I was fully awake.

A low chuckle erupted from next to me before a pair of strong arms picked me up, I always imagined this moment to be magical.

The man of dreams picking me up bridal style and laughing at me clumsiness.

Unfortunately, that man was Ezra but not anymore, thanks a lot Mother.

My body was placed on the bed to sit, it took everything inside me to not fall into it right there and sleep until whenever I wake up, my body was trying to retire since it hasn't for hours and this bed was doing wonders.

"You can open your eyes Adeena" Kalan assures.

Sounded as if he was far away from me, but I still didn't want to take any chances. I don't know him, all I know is that I'm tied to him for the rest of my life and he's a monster.

Although he doesn't seem like a monster to me, he's just a quiet guy, I've never heard him raise his voice since I've been here and you never know when he's around.

People often said he was a mean and arrogant person, but he really wasn't, well, not to me he wasn't.

"I don't trust you" I answer, feeling a rising feeling in the pit of my stomach upon feeling his presence near me once more.

"No one who's ever slept on my bed has ever said that before, huh", he said so proudly.

My eyes snap open and I look up at him, he only held a proud look on his face, I wanted to wipe it off so badly with something.

"I'm leaving, you're a dog", I get up but my body had other options.

I sat again slowly, holding my head and wincing.

"I know I am, and in a few days you'll be one too, now sit down, I'm gonna get some ice for your head" he mutters in a monotone voice before leaving.

He seemed offended by that statement, but I wasn't wrong and he admitted to having others in here, maybe I should just leave.

But the warmth of the room was so welcoming compared to my room, the way the light brown drapes blended in with the light in the ceiling and the soft brown carpet covering the entire floor, who wouldn't feel warm in here and fall asleep.

Kalan's P.O.V

The sound of my 4:30 a.m alarm went off, awaking me immediately as it always did everyday.

I reach over the nightstand to turn it off but an arm hugged me closer and mumbles were heard, I look down at Adeena as she snuggled more and more into my side as if she wanted to go inside my skin.

This was the second time she slept inside here, I knew she wasn't sleeping these few days because she longed for me but she couldn't realize it. She won't be able to until her transformation, that was putting so much weight on me right now.

I successfully turned the alarm off and decided to lay with her for another few minutes, last time I had to replace myself with a pillow, she kept her nose buried in it the entire time.

Talk about obsessive.

Adeena's transformation will be painful, I needed to fund the perfect place for her to shift where she doesn't cause harm to herself of anyone else, the shift wasn't necessarily dangerous but she was a Luna, her wolf will be a superior to mine, only thing is that my size was way bigger.

A Luna's wolf is always an equal to her Alpha, in our case, I'm hoping all goes well for Adeena. My wolf was no ordinary one, and the sooner her shift was over the sooner she'll be ready for anything to come.

I continue to stare down at the lightly freckled face, feeling a warm feeling erupting inside my chest, her red curls displayed onto my arm and the pillow, she was a breathtaking sight.

Unfortunately, I will have to remove myself in a few minutes, I'd miss her warmth just a little but I can survive.

"Hill, you're on full night shift border patrol until Friday" Isaac instructs sternly to a more devoted Collin.

"Yes Beta Isaac" Collin answers before moving off.

As he walked by me I could see a few scratches on his throat, they were disappearing but still visible enough.

We were in the Valley, where I trained the warrior wolves, the border patrol wolves were also warriors but with a demoted job, if they worked hard enough they could be promoted to a full warrior, although the fight on occasions also.

"What happened to him?" I ask Isaac.

"Your mate kind of strangled him" he answers nervously.

My eyes squinted in confusion, what did he mean by that?.

He moves to walk away but I grab his arm to stop him, causing him to turn and look at me.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask in a hushed tone. "Adeena wouldn't even hurt a fly, and they've never met" I stated.

"Well, Alpha", he takes a deep breath and then exhales, "when you were at the Golden Paw Pack, I had to handle the meeting and things weren't going so well, Adeena tried to help and Collin disrespected her by not addressing her as Luna and also basically telling her that she's not apart of the pack so....." he explains and trails off.

I hate when he's telling me something and stops halfway, drives me insane.

"And what exactly did she do, because he's addressing you with respect" I say.

Collin has always been a jerk, Isaac was in charge of them most of the time but he always tried to push him around, I didn't intervene half the time because it has always been Isaac's fight. I just always hoped he'd beat the shit out of the guy one day.

"Maybe you should ask her, but it was a fucking scene!", with that, the idiot laughed and walked away, not giving me a good answer.

Adeena looked so gentle, I doubt she would strangle someone, especially someone as strong as Collin or even someone who's taller than her even.

She couldn't, right?.
