Chapter 30 - Will You Come With Me?
Ever since he had seen Adrianna, his wolf had become restless to the point of going crazy.
He felt weird about his illogical presence in front of her house, so he hid himself until it was dark and Ed had left. It was late in the night when he sat on the floor near her. He gazed at her face and held her fragile hand in his.
So this was the girl who had killed so many from his army? He wanted to hate her, but all he felt was an intense attraction towards her. He wanted to tame and possess her.
He had spent the night with her, sitting in the same position in fear of disturbing her rest, The next day, he had his beta, Nate, send a message to her father, asking for her hand in marriage, and threatening another attack if not. He wanted to trap her in a way that she had nowhere to run but to him.
From then on, he had started watching over her. He had become her stalker.
That day when she had run away from home, he had gone to her house to see her, but she wasn't there. He had to run away as Ed came out to investigate. He had also gone to see her when she had been deeply wounded. He had sat down on the floor the entire night, caressing her, because he couldn't bear to see her so badly injured. He had reluctantly left just before the break of dawn.
After that, he would visit her whenever he had time. He would watch her sleeping in her room. One day, when she wasn't able to sleep well and was clearly disturbed, he couldn't resist, and went to lie down beside her. He had embraced her, and watched her fall asleep peacefully in his arms.
He would continue watching her beautiful face and stroking her hair even after she was asleep. He had visited her three nights in a row now. It was becoming impossible for him to sleep anywhere else. His primal attraction was clouding his judgment. He had tried to stay away from her for two days, but by the end of it, he had become irritable and unbalanced, and had even attacked his beta, Nate.
Yes, he was going crazy.
He had joined the college to keep a watch on her, to protect her, and to be with her. But he wasn't sure whether Adrianna was his real mate or not, whether she liked him or not, and whether she felt the same about him as he did about her? All those questions needed an answer.
That day when he saw her with Niiya at the creek, he had wanted to kill Niiya. Had it not been for Keisha, he would have done so.
He wanted to take his chances with Adrianna. Otherwise, he would become akin to a wild animal.
He had to express himself properly. Otherwise, Niiya might win. Thinking of that possibility made a shiver run down his spine.
That night, as he embraced her in his arms, he smelled her neck and thought to himself that tomorrow, he would apologize to her and ask her out. Her smell was intoxicating. He wanted to bathe in it. "Be mine Adrianna," he whispered. Slowly, he slumbered off.
Adrianna woke up the next morning only to find that Ed had already left. She became sad, and after dressing up, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for herself.
When she got to the kitchen, she found a note stuck to the fridge.
"There is a lot of food in the refrigerator. Warm it up before eating.
- Ed."
She smiled, and her mood lifted. Her grandfather had made food for her so that she wouldn't starve.
Adrianna reached the college ten minutes before her first class, and skipped into the lecture hall happily. She saw Niiya sitting in their usual place, and she approached him with confidence.
"You look happy Adri," he said, feeling a little sad.
"Yes I am," she replied as she took out her notebook and a pencil from her bag.
She looked at him again, and using the pencil to trace his forehead and his nose, she pressed it against his cheek saying, "Why are you so sad Niiya?"
"I don't want you to go near that new fellow who has just joined the college," he said gruffly.
"I don't want to anyways," she replied as if that was a ridiculous option.
Niiya's mood lifted and he continued. "Adri?"
"Hmm?" She looked at him.
His nerves rose and his knees became jelly, but he somehow garnered enough courage and asked her, "Adri, I would like to take you out for coffee in the evening. Will you come with me?"
