Semua Bab Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?: Bab 31 - Bab 35

The weak girl had taken me back to my room. In her bid to be the overly polite she-wolf she appeared to be, she continued to try to fill the awkward silence by pointing out various features of the packhouse which were en-route. And, in doing so, I do not know if she realized that she had allowed me to build some knowledge within my mind of how to get around her packhouse. Or at least I was able to save the route from my room to the Alpha office. Information now all stored within my memory, and in my mind, that was all I needed.The moment we found ourselves standing awkwardly outside my room, with her eyes looking everywhere but at me, like she was questioning what she should do now, as I refused to head back inside, Mari suggested that we see if Hudson and Sonny would like some coffee. She said she would take us to their lounge area where we could relax and watch TV, or play the games consoles that they had set up there.

And the chores are not completed.” He snarled angrily, as he approached. I quickly moved to make a step away from the doorway. I simply nodded, knowing better than to argue with him.The moment I made that move to step by him, he gripped my arm. Intoxicated or not, he still had his rapid reactions, and he was not about to let me walk away from him. He clearly

Beta Kian had stalked away without so much as a second glance in my direction after he had given me my warning. A warning that still made little sense. And having watched his back disappear into the distance, I found myself loitering. Unsure where to go and what to do next. An unease had settled over me. And over my wolf...I already did not particularly like the Alpha and Beta of Eldermoon Pack, and had only ever agreed to a business agreement for the potential benefit of the contacts they held. But, there was something about the way that man spoke that made me suspicious. He was dishonest. There was a darkness about him that I could not put my finger upon; and coming from me, a man whom many would consider of great darkness, I had a feeling it was a serious judgement for me to make.We had already been suspicious. That was what had brought us back here to begin with, but Beta Kian's words had only added to it now. Were the two instances linked? That I would not like to say; but ther
