'I am Adam's betrothed' That was the only thing that my brain registered and kept replaying in my head. I looked to Evan to say something but he avoided my eyes, looking interestingly at his glass of wine. I was dumbfounded; I couldn't form words out of my mouth. I kept quiet, why does it hurt? This is what I wanted, for him to move on with his life because I don't feel ready to walk into another relationship. She laughed at how quiet I had suddenly become." You should be packing because I will make sure you are thrown out of this house". There was a rumble in my throat as a loud growl escaped my lips. It was loud and powerful as it shook the table. My wolf was already up and shaking her furs, ready for action. Something deep within me was growing. How dare she threaten me in my mate's house. I sat down there with the spoon bent in my hard grip, and I could see my fingers had grown into claws. I looked at her to see her face paled as she watched me with wide eyes even Evan who was c
On our way home, we saw a crowd gathered in the middle of the road. Luke said he wanted to check what was happening and I followed him because I was also curious. In the middle of the crowd, were two girls fighting, the girl on the floor was young and was beaten blue-black by someone older and no one did anything about it, they just stood there and watched a girl get bullied. Anger bubbled inside of me as she kept kicking the innocent girl on her stomach. The girl on the floor was too weak to do anything. It felt like I was seeing myself in her. I wouldn't stand and watch this. " Stop it" I shouted. Everyone turned to look at me, even the blonde tall girl who kept kicking the girl stopped to look at me. "And who do you think you are to stop me?" She looked at me daringly. I was a nobody but that doesn't mean I should watch her bully people. " If you wanted to display strength, why don't you bully someone of your age" I asked her. Stepping forward into the circle the crowd had formed
"Because I want you here with me," he said his eyes looking directly at me, my inside turned into mush as he said those words. I think I am falling in love with him but who knows it might just be a mere physical attraction."What about her?" I asked. I shouldn't be asking him this question since I was the one who told him that I wanted nothing to do with him. "You claim I am your mate, your other half, the one your soul longs for yet you go around having betrothed"" I never knew I had a mate, sunshine" he coaxed. My stomach flipped in excitement at the endearment, that I almost forgot what he said. Oh, I seem to forget no one made him believe he could have a mate."That is not an excuse" I lied. I turned my attention to his bedside table. There was a juice carton there but something told me it wasn't juice that was there."I know," he said. His lips had a hint of a smile on them, but his eyes showed how amused he was as they sparkled in the bright light."But she doesn't know I am you
I was gulping down the third cup of beer when Charlotte came and pulled me away from Evan who had been drinking so much that I lost count of how many he had to drink. Though he looked fine and just a bit drunk, I was so worried about him that it felt like I was the one babysitting him. Charlotte continued to drag me to where people were dancing. I was a bit tipsy but I could feel adrenaline pumping into my veins making me feel so much alive. All my nerves were awakened, it felt like I took a sugar rush. My body followed the rhythm of the song, whining and twerking, jumping and shouting at the top of my voice in excitement. I missed feeling this way. I was so lost in the music and immersed in ecstasy it provided, that I didn't know when I started rocking someone behind me.My mind went to Adam thinking of how he would have reacted if he was the one behind me or if he saw me rocking someone. I could hear the stranger behind me egging me on until Evan came and pulled me away from him. He
I met Adam and Evan in the living room. Adam was holding a magazine and sipping on his coffee while Evan was reading Temptest by Shakespeare. I walked past them to the kitchen and made a pair of sandwiches, put them on a plate with a cup of tea. I went to the kitchen to eat my phone. I took the remote and switched on the television. I changed the channel to a news channel and began to eat. I was done with my food sipping on the tea when they finished their break and resumed the new. My picture was on the television. "Welcome back. Denver Hart just declared his wife, Alaia Hart, missing. He said if anyone was able to find his wife they would be rewarded with Three thousand dollars...." I choked on my tea as I heard that. He never gives up, does he? I could hear the blood rushing in my ears as fear gripped me, Are they going to hand over me to him because of the money? I looked at Adam but he was concentrating on the news, I should have changed the channel but my hands were numb. Why c
I went into the empty house feeling pains. I don't understand why the wound is not healing, I have had a lot of injuries since I turned though not as deep as this but they all healed immediately.I signed as the water cascaded down my body washing away the dirt and blood and flowing down into the drainage. Today was very eventful; with the news of Denver searching for me, my hunt with Adam which l enjoyed, and then the ambush. I feel like I was growing stronger each day, like today I never imagined I could fight three wolves and then there was that time when I beat Larissa. I came out of the bathroom wrapping a towel. Then I fished out a light and free cloth to wear and laid them on the bed.' please, can you send me a doctor' I mindlinked Adam.'what is wrong with you? Are you injured' he asked concerned. I didn't want him to leave what he was doing for me and I contemplated on how to tell him. ' Yes, but it is a minor injury. I just want to ask him something' I said hoping he would
I rushed into my closet and picked out a sundress and flat sandals. I came out of the closet and went to the dressing table to brush my hair. After making sure it was smooth enough. I packed it in a ponytail all this while Adam lay on the bed watching me."I am done," I told me standing up." Took you long enough" he stood up and left and I followed behind him. We entered the room to see Evan drinking coffee, his eyes drooping like he didn't get much sleep. I smiled, he looked very cute. I remember when I first met Evan, He had been so cold and mean to me, I would never have imagined him to be this kind of person. Jovial and carefree."Finally! I thought I should just go back to bed since you guys were gonna take forever to come downstairs" He exclaimed. I laughed. " Oh come on, I am sure you don't need a bed, you were sleeping okay while standing," I said smugly. He growled at me and that made Adam chuckle as he went to the fridge. Evan's eyes bulged out from the sound." Did...did
We all talked and joked about a lot of things as we sat and ate the pasta I made. Evan complimented my cooking and so did the rest. While talking, Luke said he would like to spar with me one of these days. I laughed and nodded. My wolf shook in eagerness for the challenge. She wanted to prove to them that she wasn't a pup and we were both strong. She eyed him from head to toe, for a weakness. My thought suddenly gravitated to Adam, wondering what he was doing in his office if he was even in this house.'Hey, where are you?' I asked through Mindlink drawing the connection I have with him and speaking into it. It was getting easier day by day as I got myself used to it. It was just like a speed dial the more connected or closer you are to people, the easier it is to mindlink them. Adam said something about creating a mindlinked group where you can talk to more than one or two persons but I still haven't gotten to that level only because he hasn't taught me yet. I am going to tell him to
