Dad couldn’t co because he had a winter presentation on the sa day as our winter gala. Dad apologized, but I told him it wasn’t a problem; he had important work to do.
Dad made sure I wouldn’t feel lonely, so Ryan and Sophia arrived on the evening of December 14th.
But that ant I had to return to my ho. As much as I hated the idea of living with Alpha, that day turned out to be one of the most joyful and pleasant of my life.
Long story short, I didn’t want to leave, but I had to stay for a few days while my brother and best friend were here.
As soon as we got to his office, I decided to talk to him about it. He tensed up at my words and asked desperately,
"Return?" His eyes clouded with grief, as if I were leaving him forever.
My angry wolf had started expressing his emotions so openly right in front of . "Yes!" I replied sadly. I suppose the feeling was mutual.
He muttered sothing about driving there himself after work, and suddenly grabbed with ardent desire.
His hands burned my skin as he looked at with a faint glimr of sadness. My hands fell on his frozen face.
Without warning, he kissed on the lips, as if I were forever drifting away from him; lowering back, he deepened the kiss, letting feel his need.
I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him toward , our lips intertwining, our tongues entwining.
My legs ached imdiately.
Who are we kidding?
Lately, every ti we touched, we kissed. The last few days had been incredibly intense, yet he still tried to hug at any mont, under any pretext.
Miranda’s request to enter the office finally made us freeze, and I pulled away from him, irritated.
Poor Miranda, she’ll be in trouble.
Out of breath, we clung to each other before pulling away, and he allowed Miranda in.
I stepped back, adjusting my jacket and hair. My cheeks were burning.
"Sir, we need your signatures." She approached with a folder in her hands, and Alpha headed for his desk.
Our eyes t again, and the air was feverishly heated by his hot, piercing gaze. The urge to simply go over and continue what we’d interrupted lodged itself deep in my heart.
No, I needed to leave and clear my head. This situation was becoming unbearable for .
I had no idea where his false self ended and his real self began, and I was tired of trying to figure it out. I took this as an opportunity to escape; the more I tried to be around him, the harder it was to resist.
I headed to the rehearsal room and imrsed myself in the final rehearsal. It was the only distraction, keeping occupied and from letting thoughts of him drift away.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work, and I was eagerly awaiting the next eting with him.
As soon as the reception ended, my heart started beating faster. My whole body ached to be near him. When he ca to pick up from the room, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
"Ready?" he asked quietly, as usual, placing his hand on my back, and I nodded slightly.
Alpha wrapped in my long winter coat, helping warm up. We started down the stairs, and Alpha said, "Tell Kasir whatever you need, and he’ll bring it, so you won’t have to worry about it."
Of course! He was always so thoughtful.
"I’ll do it."
After that, silence reigned, but my heart refused to slow down, and my eyes refused to steal a glance. We arrived at the parking lot, and as usual, he helped get settled before we set off.
Alpha was quieter than usual. His slender fingers drumd on his knee as he stared out the window, like a model posing for a photo.
My stupid heart just wanted to watch. I sneaked a glance at his watch, and a quote flashed on it that spoke volus about his mood.
"When the heart becos too heavy with pain, people don’t cry; they just beco quiet." Was he really that sad? His watch betrayed his inner state, and I instinctively reached out and touched his hand. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, just thinking about the event. It’s so close, and I hope everything goes smoothly." His jaw didn’t relax; that wasn’t the only thought on his mind. It shouldn’t have upset him, which, as the watch showed, it did.
"It’ll be wonderful. Don’t worry." I squeezed his hand, and he nodded, turning away.
Outside, the world was bathed in winter colors. The trees had shed their leaves, and people wandered around in large fur coats, scarves, and mittens.
Hot drinks had been consud in abundance. I was really craving soup, and I decided to make so as soon as I got to our pack.
When the car stopped in front of my house, Alpha asked Kaysir to first inspect the surroundings. Only after he gave the green light did Alpha help out of the car. My family was out of the house,
I felt his tension, his gaze scanning everything around him, as if searching for soone out of place. Cold December, the wind blew around , and I wrapped myself tighter in a coat.
Alpha didn’t relax until we were inside. Kaysir brought my luggage.
We soon reached the apartnt, and I opened the door with the key card.
"Let check first." Alpha went inside to inspect the premises and, satisfied, let in.
"Co in."
I was greeted by the faint scent of bamboo and pine. The scent of the air purifiers I used. The place seed spotlessly clean, yet sohow alien and unsettling.
Sohow, I didn’t want to stay here. Taking off my long coat, I tossed it and my scarf onto the sofa and turned on the heater.
My face must have betrayed my thoughts, because Alpha’s massive fra blocked my view as he spoke.
"Changing your mind?"
