**Tori’s POV
A long sigh escaped my lips as I put down the second book I had finished on the soft surface of my comforter. Day two of Cayden’s visitors being within the pack grounds, I was getting bored being cooped up in my room.
I shook my head – who did I think I was?
Jace told it was for my safety, but I knew he was just trying to be nice.
I was bought, and I only had one purpose for Alpha Cayden. Just because Jace tried his best to provide privacy didn’t an that I was much different from a prisoner - I had no right to question what was arranged for .
However, the more ti I spent here, the more I tended to forget that.
I craved communication with soone other than my own thoughts. Of course, Kas and Jace took turns checking on , but I wanted more –
Yes, I was hopelessly missing Cayden.
His intoxicating scent, the gentle caress of his hands...
God, I was being ridiculous. My face turned red, and I rolled my eyes at my internal dilemma.
I lay back on my bed and stared at the ceiling above, unsure what to do next.
I could hear sounds of music from below; it seed like the crowd was having fun.
Who would associate Black Shadow pack with the word ‘fun?’ At least, I wouldn’t have believed that until I had really gotten them.
I could hear young won’s giggles and laughter through my open window. Was Cayden being entertained by other won? And would he smile at them? He probably wouldn’t... but what if he would?
I had never seen his smile, and I couldn’t imagine that. What’s more, the thought that other won could make him smile really upset .
‘What’s wrong with you, Tori!’ I berated myself. ‘You’re a simple breeder. Know your place!’
However, scolding myself didn’t make feel any better. In fact, it made ... jealous to the point where I almost didn’t recognize the feeling.
The sun had long before set, and I could see the glorious bright full moon above. Tonight, they would shift and run in a group. It seed to be sothing Cayden and his pack did every full moon. It showed such unity between them, and I was delighted by the chance to witness it from a distance as they took off in a mass of fur while the sounds of their howls filled the night sky.
“I wish I was out there...” I whispered softly to myself, wrapping the cashre blanket around my arms tighter as I smiled up at the moon, thinking about Cayden.
I couldn’t help the soft sound of a song that rose from . The words softly left my lips as I looked out at the night. As I thought about everything that had transpired between him and , the feelings growing inside scared to my core.
I wasn’t upset by restricted freedom... Just lonely without him.
Suddenly, a sound from outside the window drew my attention.
I slid from the bed and moved towards the open window. The room I was in was three stories up, but still, the noise startled . I stared down, trying to see what was there, my long hair slipping over my shoulders in long waves as I peered into the darkness.
What was it? Was there soone watching?
The fear started to settle over when a small black cat darted from the space below toward the corner of the building.
A sigh of relief and a slight chuckle left my lips as I realized I had nothing to worry about.
“Goddess, kitty, you scared ,” I said. “Run off before the big bad wolves sll you out.”
What’s wrong with ? So skittish that I was startled by sothing as sweet as a cat. Tori, you have to be braver than that!
As I turned around and made my way towards my bed, however, the door to my room suddenly opened.
What was going on tonight?
Then my eyes widened as Cayden’s dark and lust-filled gaze swept over , causing to hold my breath.
Why was he here?
“Alpha.” I lowered my head to greet him.
Frozen to the spot, I watched him close the door behind him. I could hear my heart pounding louder and louder.
His steps were swift, and he closed the space between us quickly. Then, his lips upon my neck caused to moan softly as the blanket dropped to the ground.
The sll of whiskey upon his breath told he had been drinking, but even so, I had longed for this mont, for him to co and find and ravish like only he could do.
“Alpha...” I whispered as his hands pulled and tugged at the clothing upon my body.
He tossed up on the bed, and then a squeal left my mouth as he dragged to its edge and dipped his mouth to my core. My legs wrapped around his shoulders, and my back arched in pleasure.
“Cayden. Call Cayden!” he commanded.
I didn’t understand what had gotten into him, but his wild movents let know that he wouldn’t let go quietly tonight as I sated the ravenous hunger deep within him.
Over and over, he made cum with pleasure. Soft cries left and filled the space within the half-closed canopy.
He slid deep inside and hit with an animalistic passion I had never experienced.
As I left scratches down his back, so deep enough to spill blood, he knotted , and I called out “Cayden” as he ca, stilling deep within .
Both of us panted, out of breath, as he held close.
“What are you doing to ?” he mumbled, his brows furrowing.
My mind was still in a ss, and I didn’t understand his question.
As the swelling went down from the knot, he climbed over and laid down beside . His arms wrapped around my waist as I partially sat up against the headboard. He laid his head down upon my naked waist as he closed his eyes.
Did he... fall asleep...?!
I looked down at him, finding it unbelievable. He was still here, wrapped around – drunk, of course, but still here.
As the heat started to fade, I recollected my thoughts. What had just happened...?
I had waited for him to co to , and after two days, he finally did.
I knew it must be the alcohol that made him wild tonight, and he had only co to take until his physical needs were filled... but he had asked to call him by na.
Did that an that maybe, just maybe– he also desired as a woman?
I looked at him and could not get over how handso he was. With his eyes closed, he was no longer a fearso Alpha but just a charming man.
A wave of mixed emotions rushed through . He was my master, he ruined my future, but in so ways, he also saved .
His thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and his well-defined jawline, paired with his perfect nose and lips made him as graceful as a prince. However, even in his sleep, a crease still existed between his brows.
Was he bothered by sothing?
I wished I could help him in any way. I knew it was a silly thought– why would he need help from soone like ?
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but gently massage his temples, hoping to relieve whatever may be bothering him.
Um... his hair was surprisingly soft.
It didn’t take long until I heard a deep grunt fill the small space between us. He slowly began to move, then looked around with a confused look on his face. Then his eyes slowly rose to et my own.
He hesitated for a mont, as if he was trying to rember what had happened.
Then he quickly pulled away from with a sneer upon his face as he picked up his pants and slipped them on.
I pulled up the blanket to cover my bare body.
“Alpha... I’m sorry...” I apologized softly. I wasn’t sure whether it was acceptable for to touch him while he was asleep.
He spun around to look at with an irritated look on his face. Slowly, his eyes flickered up and down my body before he turned and stord out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
It was as if I could hear my heart shatter into pieces.
How foolish had I been to think that I might an sothing different to him?
I was wrong. I was lying to myself. It was all my illusion. I was still nothing but a job to him– a task to be completed.
He was never going to love or care about , and the more I kept pretending that wasn’t true, the more I was setting myself up for disappointnt.
I was hopelessly wishing things would change, but I knew they were never going to.
