"Dad’s been cheating our whole lives" I said through clenched teeth "Don’t believe him Gracie."
"B-but Nate I love him" She started crying "I don’t want us to split up"
"I know honey I know" I said "But you’re still young believe you’ll find soone better okay?"
"I-I got to go" She said "Mom just got back and wants to talk to "
"Look Grace you’ll find soone better okay?" I said desperately, scared of what my mom was going to tell her.
"Yeah sure" Grace said and then hung up. I sighed and sat on the chair, put my elbows on the table and my head in my hands.
"You alright?" Pat’s voice disrupted my thought, I had forgotten he was there.
"Yeah i’m just worried about her" I said "She’s too influenced by my parents’ opinions"
"it’s her life Nate" Patrick said "You can’t keep trying to solve everyone’s problems, you’ve got your own"
"I don’t try to-" I started to say but shut up from the look he gave "Whatever"
"How about I relieve you of so stress eh?" He winked at and I laughed
"Patrick you know too well"
Adrian’s P.O.V.
I stood behind her door, my hands clenched as I used my hearing to hear what’s going on inside.
"Harder Patrick" I heard Nate moan "More to the left, yes that’s it" I felt my eyes darken as I tried to control my wolf. The sounds made it clear what she was doing with that guy and it raged us both to no ends.
"God Patrick you’re amazing" he said again and that was the final straw. I busted the door open ready to kick the guy’s ass but was surprised when I saw two clothed bodies. Nate was sitting on a chair with a guy behind her, his hands on her shoulders. I guess my assumptions weren’t so accurate.
"Adrian?" Nate asked looking confused "Why are you here? I don’t have to go to work for at least three hours"
"I know" I said still glaring at the guy’s hands on her shoulder "Just thought I’d stop by" Nate noticed my glare at the guy
"Oh Patrick this is Adrian Morgan, he lives at the house I work in. Adrian this is Patrick my best friend" she said and I nodded at him while he looked at suspiciously, neither one of us making a move. "Okay" Nate added awkwardly "What did you want Adrian?"
I snapped my gaze from Patrick to Nate and my expression imdiately softened, she looked tired. "I thought we’d go to lunch we have a lot of" I glanced at Patrick for a second "Things to talk about"
Nate stiffened "No we don’t" she said "I’m sorry Adrian I’m already having lunch with patrick so..."
"Oh he can join us" Patrick said, his eyes never leaving "I’d love to know who you’re working for Nate and you know you always cook more so I can have a midnight snack" I glared at the guy, he obviously had sothing planned and I wasn’t about to cower in front of him.
"I-I’m sure Adrian can’t he..."
"No actually that sounds like a good idea" I said "I’d love to join you" I looked at Nate with a soft smile "If you don’t mind of course"
Nate looked hesitant but smiled "Okay" she said "Co on let’s head to Patrick’s apartnt"
"why patrick’s apartnt?" I asked trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice but i was sure Patrick noticed since he smirked
"We’ve been eating there for a few days, Nate’s kitchen wasn’t in the best shape" he winked at Nate "Just fixed it up for her"
"Right" Nate said looking uncomfortable "He fixed up my place for " she smiled gratefully at Patrick and I couldn’t help the jealousy rising within .
We went to his apartnt and Nate imdiately started cooking. The way she moved so comfortably in the kitchen made her look like she belonged there and I couldn’t help but smile.
I knew she felt watching her. Her stance was stiff and her movents were calculated
"So Adrian" Patrick said "How old are you?"
"Eighteen" I said "Just graduated a few months ago, sa as Nate over there" just as her na ca out of my lips I heard her hiss a breath vegetables
"Damn it" She said putting the knife she was using to chop the vegetables and put her finger under the sink water. I was beside her in a second.
"You okay?" I said grabbing her hand gently, I looked at the finger that had a small cut on the side and gently brought it to my lips ignoring the sweet taste of her blood, the sa blood that I would taste once I mark her. The image brought my wolf howling but I reigned him in.
Suddenly Nate snatched her finger away "I’m fine" she said in a hoarse voice. I saw her eyes and the desire she tried to hide "I’ll be right back" she rushed to another room
"What’s going on between you two?" Patrick’s voice ca from behind and I turned to him "I’m sure you aren’t together so what’s the deal"
"No we’re not together" I said looking at the towards the door Nate had closed behind her "Not yet" the words ca out without conscious or thought but I knew they were true, I wasn’t going to let her get away from again
"Better give up now pal" Patrick said and I could hear a protective edge in his voice "Nate is off limits"
"Why?" I asked, trying to sound casual "Is she...involved with soone?" the thought of it sent and my wolf crazy but I kept my face neutral.
