Alpha Eric’s POVThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I couldn’t stand her

The more I stay with her, the more I possess the urge to kiss her one more time, and it annoys me. I decided to go to the woods and calm myself down. Maybe all this was just because I mated with her. I left the room and went downstairs. I was about to leave the house, but I couldn’t, I just couldn’t leave her alone.

Most werewolf usually stay in bed all night, after mating with their mates, but I just couldn’t. Sighing heavily, I opened the door and left the house, but then I remembered that it wasn’t proper to leave her all alone after all we did. Groaning angrily, I went back to the house, climbed the stairs and went back to my room.

The moment I opened the door of my room, I made eyes with Victoria, but then something else caught my attention. She was about to pull out my drawer, and in that drawer I had my masks, my chains, rope, and blindfolds. I basically have all my BDSM stuffs in there.

I groaned in anger and rushed to the drawer. Out of impulse, I yanked her away from the drawer. ” What did hell did you just do.” My wolf growled angrily at me.

“How dare you go through my things.” I uttered in anger while staring at her with hate.

She looked at me, shocked and confused at my reaction. Seeing her reaction, I realized she hadn’t seen the stuffs, which made me suck in a soft breath in relief and roughly ran my fingers through my hair.

“I’m sorry if I invaded your privacy, I just wanted to get some warmer wear, but I couldn’t see any in your closet, so I thought you might have kept them here.” she mumbled those words in a low soft voice that instantly killed all the anger in me, and I hated myself for reacting that way.

She stood to her feet and sat on the bed with her arms wrapped around her body. I stared at her and noticed she was a bit cold. Groaning, I moved away from the drawer and sat on the couch with my gaze on her. “I don’t have a body warmer.” I spoke firmly and got a shocked and confused glare from her. “Who wouldn’t have a body warmer in this part of the country?” She spoke in disbelief, it was obvious she thought I was lying. “I don’t need those things because my temperature is different from yours, so I see no need for them.” I added, while she eyed me for a while and looked away.

“You should get some sleep.” I told her and saw her hesitate for a while, but she climbed on the bed and pulled the blanket over her body. I noticed she tried closing her eyes, but she couldn’t, rather she stared at me like she was trying to read through me.

Not able to withstand her gaze, I stood on my feet and stood by the window, staring at the full moon. I have gotten what I wanted, I have mated with her, and yet, I wasn’t at peace, rather it felt like something was missing and wrong.

I stared back at her and realized she was shivering despite the blanket on her. I moved away from the window and sat on the couch. While staring at her, I checked the time and saw that it was a few minutes past 4am.

Inhaling deeply, I relaxed on the couch and tried getting some sleep, but I couldn’t. My attention was drowned to her and I couldn’t resist it. I watched her shiver and pulled the blanket more on herself, but it wasn’t helping. I knew what was wrong with her, she needed me, but I just couldn’t let her sleep in my arms, something I wouldn’t do for Sophie.

I sat there and tried to get my gaze away from her, but I just couldn’t, she kept dragging my attention to her and I couldn’t resist it.

Not able to hold myself any longer, I stood on my feet and strode over to the bed and lay beside her. I roughly ran my fingers through my hair and stared at her sleeping peacefully, not discovering my presence in the bed. I took a deep breath before getting inside the blanket.

I got inside the blanket with her and gently placed my hand on her shoulder. The moment my hand touched her, she made a s ft sound of relief in her sleep.

I moved closer to her and pulled her into my arms, while she released a sound of comfort and comfortably rested her head on my chest. I stared at her sleeping peacefully on me and for a strange reason I felt so comfortable, like I was used to her in my arms.

A soft groan left my lips and I had to look away. This wasn’t part of the plan, this is ridiculous, and I have to stop it.

Few minutes later, I heard her murmuring things in her sleep that I couldn’t understand. She kept on babbling in her sleep, and it felt like she was in fear.

She kept on shuddering despite being in my arms and forcefully shoved away from my grip. I stood up from the bed and touched her head. She was burning with fever and I became frightened. “Wake up.” I patted her softly, but got no response from her,

“Please get my aunt out.” she murmured those words in her sleep and I notice tears dropping on her cheek, despite her eyes being closed.

Whatever dream she was having was really hurting her and I needed to wake her up from it. “Victoria.” I roughly patted her on the shoulder, and this time she slowly opened her eyes.

Firstly, she moved her gaze around the room with tears soaked eyes before locking eyes with me. She stared at me for a while like she was trying to process the surroundings she was, before she closed her eyes for a bit and opened them. Hurriedly, she left the bed and took in a deep breath before going for her bag.

I watched her hurriedly put two tablets in her mouth and swallow them. “Are you okay?” I asked, not knowing when that left my mouth.

“None of your business.” she muttered out those words in an angry tone. Watching her, it felt like she was a different person. “Don’t you dare talk to me in that way.” I spoke in annoyed.

With a scoff, she turned around, eyed me with anger and strode closer to me with no atom of fear in her eyes.

“And if I do, what will you do?”
