Chapter 30

Cassia pov

“ I saved her a very long time ago” he voiced, right before he shoves a fork full of food into his mouth, it was quite different from what I had expected, but then, it didn’t make it an easier, I was still worried about what had happened, why I feel so uncertain about her presence,what was so bad that required saving.

“ from what” I asked

“ she was being attacked by rogues, alisia is an orphan, her father fought alongside the reputable soldiers here in my park, died in a war between the howlers park, and the mother died alongside when she heard he won’t be coming back ”.

For a while he stopped and stared, like he had just taken a journey down memory lane, his brow bumped in a frown then he waved his head hurriedly, clearly dismissing his thought.

“ it was a really long time ago, why are you asking?”He said, my mind was buried in thoughts, what if she was trying to get back to him, like she did before, what if all this was to refresh his memory to how they met, my heart felt congested I couldn’t keep the possibilities at bay anymore, she wanted handrian she not sick she’s pretending…

“ cassia?”

“ cassia!”

Hadrian pulled my attention, I didn’t notice he had stood from his chair then beside me m, “ what are you thinking about?”, he asked, his voiced laced with worry, as he stared at me, utterly confused, I had no words to explain that I might be seeing things and worse of all, they seemed real.

“ Nothing,” I replied in a whisper, he pulled me up from my seat, his hands clasped around my waist as he brought me closer to his body, his lips synced with mine gently, melting the resentment I had built up all through the day.

“ It's a long day, let’s bathe together,” he said, then swept me off my feet before I could rebuff his words. He took me to the room.

He took me into the bathroom, gently bathing me with kisses, as he took my clothes off, bliss washed over me, but was soon cut short with the knock on the door, he lets out a deep groan then paused, for a second, his eyes held frustration as he looked at me

“ I would be back” he kissed my forehead then walked out of the room, frustration found its way back into my heart, how do I tell him how all this was affecting me, maybe if Becky was here, maybe just maybe I would be able to think properly.

I took my shower, then wrapped myself with the towel, while waiting for him to come back he didn't. I felt bored in the room, so I decided to go see Hadrian wherever he was.

The walls seemed to be noisy for a very weird reason and I wanted it to stop. I couldn't contend with myself anymore. I walked down the hallway, trying to track him down with his scent, assuming Ariel had called him earlier.

My heartbeat quickened in a panic as I walked down the hall. I had told Ariel about seeing Alicia's eyes open, what if he tells Hadrian and he becomes angry,I should have begged him not to tell Hadrian, how stupid could I possibly be.

Maybe I should check out his room, no I couldn’t do that, Hadrian would be angry with me, and I can’t have that, besides what if Ariel forgets, no one remembers those things right?.

Since I won't be seeing Ariel, I took it upon myself to see Alicia. Maybe I was too worried. I was seeing things, besides what's the worst that could happen.

Strolling down the hall I got there I perceive Hadrian intoxicating scent, he was here not quite long, panic found its way back to my heart, why would he come here, I stopped at the door taking his scent in, then peeked through, just to spit him beside her bed, I sagged back on the door frightened by the view my heart squeezed and for seconds very excruciating long seconds I contended with every emotion my mind got in touch with.

He went to see her?.

“ I know you are there,” he said.

Just as expected, I could barely hide from a lycan, not when I was breathing that high, I walked into the room shakenly, and patiently waiting for his wrath but instead he took me by my hands placing a kiss on my knuckles.

“ My park is being invaded and everything seems to be falling out of place” he said, his voice was a lower pitch than normal , that sadness could be noted from the way his voice sounded, which brought worries to my head as sadness loomed over me.

“ you are doing your best, trust me” taking him by his chin I made him look at me, he passed a weary smile at me, I leaned closer, then kissed him on his forehead, “you are doing your best” I whispered, he exhaled heavily, then clenched my fist.

“Always find a way to calm me down” he takes my hands kissing it all the way to my arms, then up to my lips, this time it felt more passionate and tender.

I felt my trouble wash away, his hands trailed down my gown. Soon it became even more intense. He pushed me backwards, he swept me off my feet, gently deepening the kiss.

He had my back against the wall, “ it’s hard resisting you” he whispered in my ears, “ soon” I replied, his lips took mine again, this time my arms around his neck.

“ I will have you for a whole day” a wide smile crept on his face, as he said those wishful voices, I wanted him so badly, and it was quite baffling seeing the most dangerous alpha having this much restraint on something that gives immense pleasure, all because he made a promise.

“Thank you”
