Semua Bab Alpha's Tension: Bab 121 - Bab 125

DaliahIt is not long after we mark each other that I feel the difference in my power. We had gone several rounds with each other, but when we were finally exhausted from our activities, I felt the change in the shower. It was the need to run, fight, and hunt. Every primal instinct a wolf has, amplified. "Are you all right?" Ben asks, noticing the dilation in my eyes that sends the world into a vibrant red and yellow vision. My hands feel as though they are vibrating when I reach for the black fluffy towel on the rack, nodding my head slowly. I pat my hair dry with the towel with stiff movements, attempting to bury the energy coursing through me. The attempt turns futile when the muscles in my arms strain, and I hold the towel against me tightly. My jaw clenches down with force, and Ben's hands immediately land on the side of my arms in comfort. "Daliah, what is it? I can feel your excitement, like you're being electrocuted or something," Ben says, and I take in a sharp breath bef

Daliah"Are you fucking kidding me?" The words fall from my mouth the moment I hear Kyle say that the vampires want to relocate Carter.

Ben laughs when he speaks, and I look at his shining eyes with affection. "I can't believe it took so long for a trial date. Criminal trial is so much better," I say with a roll to my eyes. Ben chuckles at my reaction just as Kyle and Bethany burst through the door. "Hey, ma's watchin' Lilly for the night and thought you might wanna join us for dinner?" Lilly is their daughter, born exactly nine months after their bonding ceremony last winter. Ben looks at me with a questioning glance, and I nod my head before he responds. "What are the plans?" "Movie and dinner, nothing special," Bethany says with a shrug of her shoulders. Ben and I agree, and within the hour, we ar
