THE GIRL

Everything feels fuzzy. My brain, my body, the harsh sunlight coming in through the windows. And my bed.

I sit up too fast, and regret slaps me harder than the soreness in my ankle. I groan and blink against the light as foggy memories flood my brain. My key hadn’t been working yesterday, so I knocked instead, and somehow Khylon was in here.

Except, he wasn’t. Oh my god.

A soft clink comes from the doorway, followed by a deep voice. “You’re awake.”

I look up and adjust myself into a seated position to see Khylon standing there with a steaming mug in one hand and a bandage roll in the other. His glasses are gone, and his hair is slightly messy, like he’s run his hand through it too many times.

“Did I… did we?” I stop to look under the covers and find that I’m still in my top and skirt which now feels too tight all of a sudden. “Did I say anything stupid last night? I get chatty when I’m tipsy”

He gives a small smile and walks over to me, placing the cup of tea and painkillers

  • Moonbound by the Alpha’s Touch   CHAPTER NINETEEN

    THE GIRLWhat in the hot hell just happened?Khylon just stuck his finger in my mouth, and I sucked on it like a baby. Was the mint flavor that good, or did my mouth just decide to do the stupid thing? But why did it feel so natural, though?Back against the door now, I’m trying to catch my breath. His voice is still echoing in my head.Wait for me. In my room. Now.Is that supposed to be an invitation? Or a command? Or some type of code for something else? The man looked serious when he said it. I should take him seriously.His apartment looks just like mine and Brittany’s, that similarity only referring to the size of it. But what he has done with the space, seeing it now during the day, is something else entirely. The deep leather couches look and feel like they cost more than our rent. Tiny light fixtures and a faint woody, expensive scent fill the air. I close my eyes for a second, inhaling like some pervert.He asked me to wait in his room, so I will. It looks like I’ve entered

    THE WOLF“Why are you looking at me like that?” She asks. A flush of red creeps up to her neck but she pretends like it isn’t there. “Like the man from your dreams?” I tilt my head and watch her pause in surprise. “How did you..?”“You said so last night. Right before announcing your celibacy”. She laughs at that. “You really plan on milking that don’t you.” She shakes her head. “I was tipsy okay” “That doesn’t make it any less true” “Yeah whatever” she rolls her eyes at me and continues on the cone. The recollection makes me smile, she really is extra chatty when drunk but in a cute way. I liked listening to her speak, just watching her say what’s on her mind without restraint is admirable, even if it means she can get too harsh, like saying she wouldn’t want to sleep with me. I refuse to believe she actually meant that, her scent whenever I’m around says otherwise. I should punish her for that statement. The perfect way to do so involves her lying face down on my laps, I will

    THE WOLFShe’s avoiding me.I deserve it. I shouldn’t have left her at the bar that night without a word. I thought staying away would protect her. Clearly, that plan is failing. The worst part about this is that there are only eighteen days left till the lunar cycle is over. And I still haven’t gotten through to her, she still doesn’t seem ready.Perhaps she’s just not really interested in me.But there are other important issues to be bothered about right now. Like locating Eamon’s hideout. I know that scum wouldn’t want to get caught trying to sabotage the legitimacy of my rule or worse, harm a goddess chosen. As crazy as he may be, any Eldorian, especially a seasoned warrior like himself, knows that the council takes its rules seriously, and they’re not to be tampered with. If word gets out about his misconduct, he risks losing his chance at becoming Alpha too.It’s important I find him before he gets to her. Tarvin should have been here with the new information he discovered, but

    THE GIRLI avoid him. It’s the only reasonable option. All of this started since he showed up. Okay, my life was kind of a mess already but, it has gotten crazier since I met him. So for two whole days, I dodge every opportunity to run into khylon. I skip the elevator and add a few extra minutes to my shifts. And when he offered me a ride home yesterday, I casually lied about having a class. He’s not outside a lot himself. Mostly only during the day but at night he just stays indoors. His car never leaves the driveway after sunset, I know this because I’ve been going to bed late recently for a group project. THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE. It’s a stupid topic, but that’s what we ended up with, everyone wanted something simple and easy to google. Especially Liam. That’s why I’m not surprised when I see a text from him in the group chat. ‘Appreciate all the hard work guys. Drinks on me tonight! Who’s in?’Of course he wants to “celebrate our hard work” n

    THE GIRLIt’s the strangest feeling, not pain, peace, or something quite in between either.For a moment, I just lay there staring at the ceiling. Expecting to feel bruised or sore. But there’s nothing, no ache in any part of my body. Surprisingly, I feel fine.The memory of the dream is faint, but it’s still there. I remember being in the water. He was there again, but he didn’t touch me like before, not in that way.He just pressed my body close and washed my arms and legs with slow, careful movements. It wasn’t sexual. It felt different, like he was trying to take something away from me. Something heavy.I sit up on the couch and glance around. The soda can is still on the table. I must’ve fallen asleep here waiting for Brittany last night.As if on cue, the front door clicks and she steps in, carrying a grocery bag. She stops in the doorway and stares.“Lovie. You didn’t go to class? Or the library? I called, twice.”I blink. “Shit. I must’ve… sorry, I’m not feeling great.”She dr
