All Chapters of FROSTBOUND : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

My feet made it sharply down the stairs. Without looking back, without wasting a second, I dashed towards the kitchen area and inside the kitchen. I felt a great relief wash over me noticing he didn't follow. My hands flew to my hair as I instantly let the strands loose.It's my fault I let him see that. What if he had..."Good lord," I hissed, cutting short my thoughts. This is not the time to think about what Adrian would have done seeing that bite on me! What was I thinking, that it made him remember that night and he suddenly wanted me again?Stupid.Quickly sliding the thought aside. Not letting it linger any second, I hurried to the refrigerator and reached for the coldest bottle of water.I knew there was water in the dispenser in the room, but I needed this one here just so I could get away from Adrian. After the first and second long gulps, I could feel my temperature cooling down. And for a minute, I stood silent, my brain going numb. Standing alone in the silent, barel

~Adrian~'Adrian, let her be already,' Lucrian bit in my mind, stopping me before I could get to her.'Can't you just listen to me for once? Anger isn't going to solve your problem.' Lucrian was getting paranoid and I couldn't afford to provoke him to trash against me. 'Fine.' I retreated, 'I'm only stepping back because of you.' He was right. I shouldn't let her get to me, or I might end up doing something I might regret.But something wasn't letting me be. Her scent was there—every minute, every second, right from the very moment she first entered this room.I tried to ignore it thinking that my anger could rid off any stupid thoughts. But here I was still wanting more of it.The more I ignored it, the more it grew intoxicating and I swear this was driving me insane. 'I need to get out of here. I shouldn't be close to her.' I spoke to Lucrian afraid of the consequences of staying any longer, but he ignored me, keeping silent.'Let's get out of here, Lucrian. I can't afford to lose

~Odessa~I didn't know that I would be here right now kissing him this way, kissing him like a woman starved for sex.After what happened between us days ago, I should have learned my lesson for what followed. This very man had warned me to take my life if I dared come close to him. He had made it clear that he was only here to pretend to be a good husband. I knew his patience with me might snap at any moment and he would come at me. But here I was, not only close, but also kissing the lips that had threatened to kill me.A while ago, I had been afraid, doing my best to stay away when I returned to the room, praying not to get his attention and provoke him again. But it turned the other way round. All efforts to ignore him came against me. He didn't stop until I said something that seemed to ignite his anger. And when I thought he was about to pounce on me again, he stopped, went silent, and suddenly groaned like he was tormented, as if something or someone was torturing him from d

~Odessa~ Adrian had transformed into a monster... a beast right before my eyes. He stood on all fours, midnight-black fur spreading across his body like a living shadow. On his forehead, silver-white fur flowed in two distinct streaks, like twin rivers converging at a single point. His eyes burned with a bright golden light, still fixed dangerously on my neck. Yes—my neck. His gaze remained locked there, as though something hidden beneath my skin had become the only thing he could see. "No, stop. Don't come close to me!" I yelled with all the strength left in me, beads of sweat pouring down my forehead. My feet gave way, tangled in the sheets as I rolled onto the floor in my attempt to get away. He kept advancing towards me. "No, stay away from me!" My chest rose and fell, everything seemed to blur into horror displaying before me. I lay sprawled on the floor, scrambling to get away, but couldn't make a single move. He moved. Slowly— like he needed all the time in the world t

~Adrian~By the time I returned to the pack house, I met Mother pacing back and forth in the living room, her footsteps heavy and frantic."Adrian," She echoed the moment she saw me, rushing to my side. "Mother," I caught her gaze, wide and glassy eyes darting around."Come with me," Without wasting a second, her hand stiff and cold, clapped around mine, pulling me until we got to the nearest room on the grand floor, locking the door and facing me."Adrian, how could you not have thought of the damage you could have done with what you did by revealing your true self to her?" She questioned, her voice sharp and hushed. "Tell me, Son, what really happened in there some hours ago? How did you two end up like this after promising not to hurt her?" She demanded, and the anger I thought had subsided a while ago came resurfacing again. "Really, Mother?" My teeth gritted. "Are you asking me that question now? Do you really want to know what happened in there?" My chest tightened, breath kn
