Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POVAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

What made me speak the way I did, I don’t know.

I regretted it, of course, knowing she had been waiting for me. Yet all I did to reward her patience was a cold greeting, one colder than the wind with the rain outside.

I continued walking towards the wardrobe, to get a change of clothes as she watched me from behind in silence.

I wish I could give her the attention she needed right now but various thoughts were swirling around my head like a tornado and my mind wasn’t at rest.

The face of the dead man whom I had questioned earlier kept popping before me like a holographic screen.

His final words before he gave up, the ghost continued ringing in my head like a broken siren, giving rise to an unrelenting migraine, sworn to see my end.

That was not the first time someone died before me. I am the Alpha King, for crying out loud, I’ve seen many deaths. What made this particular one special, so much that it disturbed me, remains a mystery.

I picked up a long, black, flowing robe and disappeared into the bathroom, avoiding Lilith’s gaze. I’m not ready for an encounter tonight.

Not like she would take my odd behavior personal and rant, but it was best to keep the matters at hand to myself, for now.

I sat in the bathtub and turned the shower on. Cold water blasted from it, hitting my body with full force, but it didn’t help my situation.

I had hoped to wash away my worries with the water but, eventually, I got tired of sitting in the bathtub and got out.

I cleaned up, wore the black robe, and opened the bathroom door.

Immediately I entered the room, I saw Lilith, still standing at the exact spot I left her. She was now staring at me with a concerned look, sketched all over her face.

“You left in the middle of our intimate moment, the first since our wedding. I understood because it had to do with matters concerning the well-being of the pack. You promised to come back before dinner. I waited, but you didn’t show up. I understood because I know you had your reasons. You come back sad and tired, probably angry. I asked what was wrong, but you insisted I go to my room, ignoring me after it like I didn’t exist. If I didn’t love you or cared for you, I wouldn’t bother about these things. So please Adams, tell me what is wrong. I’m worried about you-and for us.”

She concentrated fully on me and began to walk slowly towards me. Each step she took made my heart beat harder. She was hurt, and I knew it, yet I couldn’t stand the pain in her voice or the tensed feeling around us.

“There was a time I lost hope and thought I would never smile again, but you gave me a reason to look alive and bring out the best in me. It seemed as though my life would end, but you gave me a reason to keep living.

If you truly love me as you claim to do, then you should be able to tell me what it is that is in your mind. Where is the man that left me a few hours ago? I need him. Talk to me now, my love. Let me lighten the burdens which rest on your shoulders.”

I heard her voice loud and clear, but I wasn’t concentrating on anything she was saying. She was now very close to me with only a few steps standing between us.

“Leave the room! Now!” It came out as a roar, the opposite of what I wanted it to be. Now she would see me as a crazy person and might never trust me again.

She froze as the words hit her like a million bricks thrown from the sky. Her opened mouth, frozen in time and space, her widened eyes, red with veins clearly visible all around it, her facial expressions said it all.

A deeper look into her eyes made me realize something was also wrong with her, like she had been crying.

Shock.

A sigh.

Her eyes closed as tears welled around them with her head nodding slowly, before she turned around to go out.

“Lilith wait…” I stretched my hands to hold her back, but it was too late. The door slammed into its wooden frame, making dust particles fall from the roof.

I stood there, angry with myself. She was long gone. How long I was transfixed to the spot I didn’t know, but it sure seemed like a long time.

Now I knew I was in a lot of trouble, I had just sent away the only person that truly loved and cared for me.

In haste, I ran after her and went out into the dark passage. I almost couldn’t see anything at first, but my eyesight became clearer due to my wolf abilities even without the help of the dimly lit candles which aligned the surrounding path.

“Lilith!” I yelled her name, but there was no response. I walked slowly till I got to the entrance of her room and froze at who I saw.

Those pair of green eyes were too familiar to not be recognized even in the dark.

He was looking through the keyhole of the door to her room as if spying on her, and it got me enraged. Who gave him the right to do so?

Suddenly, I ran towards him, and sent him a kick under his belly. He fell to the ground and began to cough. He definitely didn’t expect an attack.

He stood up immediately and launched himself at me, but I was quick, and I threw him with a swing to the back. He was now enraged as I didn’t let him see my face yet and charged towards me with so much strength, but I kicked him in the belly and he fell down.

He struggled to see, still holding his belly where I had kicked him. The moment he saw my face, he frowned.

“Adams.”

“Raoul!”
