ARTEMIS' POV:-　　I was quietly staring into his eyes. I was supposed to be afraid of him. Instead of being terrified of that strange man, I was staring into his eyes. His eyes were different. They looked cold. But for some reason, I felt comfortable while staring into his eyes. I felt that warmth while around him that I had forgotten years ago. I was barely breathing while around him. My heart was hammering my rib cage to break free. There was something inside my stomach. It was tickling the insides of my stomach. He leaned closer and I closed my eyes. I was not sure what he was doing. But I was shocked that I didn't even flinch. Although I had never been this close to any men in my life.　　My father has been strict with me since mom left. Or I thought that he was strict. He never allowed me to be around boys. I was never allowed to date. I was never even allowed to be friends or talk with the boys. I never understood why my father would be so strict about keeping me away from boys.

　　ELIJAH'S POV:-　　I opened my eyes as I heard someone moan. It was a similar moan. I looked down at my own body. My crotch was standing hard under the pyjamas I was wearing. I didn't want to make her more uncomfortable than she already was. So instead of sleeping naked, as I always did, I wore the PJs I bought a long time ago. I was surprised that they fit me well even after about half a decade. I looked through the space between the cushion wall as I heard the same moan again. I found Artemis lying on her side in the foetal position. Her arms were wrapped around her. She was shivering in the cold. The comforter she had was lying on the ground.　　Artemis was moaning because she was cold. I hopped off of the bed and walked towards her. I grabbed the comforter from the ground and covered her with the comforter. Then I grabbed my own comforter. I added another comforter to warm her up. I sat down on the edge of the bed. I leaned in and pecked her forehead gently. I had no idea what I was

　　ELIJAH'S POV:-　　After I was done telling everything to Lauren and Gregory, I heaved a sigh of relief. After telling them everything, u felt a little light. It felt like a heavy burden was lifted off of my chest. When I looked back at their faces, a confused frown appeared on my face. "I know I crossed a line and I told you I have no idea why I did that. You can't say anything to anyone else. I came here because I knew you both would keep my secret safe. You can't even tell Uncle Grey what I just shared with you." I pleaded again as I saw their shocked faces. They were staring at me with this unusual emotion in their eyes. Something that I had never seen before in their eyes.　　As soon as they heard me pleading again, they turned their heads to look at each other. Then they turned their heads back towards me. "No, Alpha! You got it wrong. We are not staring at you because of what you think is the reason. You trusted us with your secret. It is our duty to bury this secret of yours for

　　ELIJAH'S POV:-　　Once I left her in the bathroom, I stepped out of the bedroom. As expected, everyone was waiting for me. Uncle Grey had this concerned look on his face. Emma looked horrified as soon as she sensed my presence. As for Kevin and Nichole, they were nowhere to be found. As if they just ran off. I was still too angry to deal with them. I was not ready for that. Without sparing a single glance at them, I walked towards the elevator to grab all the bags from the elevator. The elevator door opened before I could even touch the button. I was not surprised to see Gregory and Lauren standing in front of me. They stepped out of the elevator and I got the chance to grab the shopping bags.　　I gathered all the bags and decided to go back to the bedroom. Dean was actually acting crazy ever since we saw Artemis in such a miserable state. He was blaming me for not being careful. And I knew that he was right. I should never have left her alone in my apartment like that. "Elijah! We ne

　　ELIJAH'S POV:-　　Artemis was sitting on a chair next to the kitchen counter. She looked adorable in that dress code. The chair was way taller for her. I had to help her get on that chair. She paired her clothes with pink kitten heels. She looked like an adorable baby. I had to put up my tough face so she would stay away from me. If she came near me, I knew I would end up doing something to her that I would regret later. I needed her to feel the same way I was feeling. I didn't want to jump on her like a horny bastard. Although ever since she came back to me, I felt an urge to pin her with bed and fuck her senselessly.　　Maybe her adorable face made me control myself. Or maybe the way she blindly trusted me, that was the reason I was keeping myself away from her. I didn't want to be rude to her. I didn't want to be mean to her. But I didn't have a choice. That smile she gave me in the morning, gave me a hard-on yet again. Due to the anger and concerns about her, I totally forgot about
