Chapter 16

Adrian’s Pov

As soon as those words, that question passed her lips I felt myself go pale as my blood ran cold at the realisation that I would have to come clean with her. It wasn’t that I didn’t want her as my mate so wanted to hide it from her, far from it actually since I was so bloody thankful that she had been chosen for me. I was terrified of how she would respond; would she freak out or accept it? One could only hope that it was in deed the latter.

When Lisa had entered the pack house and started to jog up the stairs I wanted to murder the woman when I saw un-comfort and fear cross my mates incredibly soft features, the previously relaxed and smiling mood having been shattered when it was clear she wasn’t ready to meet new people. It made my wolf snarl in protection over her, the fear in my mates eyes triggering the alpha wolf in me as Lisa had literally ran from the house when she had seen my face when I had gone down the first flight of stairs to get rid of her. Stupid woman.

I knew that I really shouldn’t blame the woman, it wasn’t exactly her fault since she didn’t know, but when my wolf was out each and every pack member wanted to flee. It was a natural reaction from their wolves, whether they were close friends or not didn’t matter since my wolf instilled fear in each and every one of them. My wolf loved it, the fear he brought out in his pack mates and while I found it slightly off-putting at how much he took pleasure in it I let him be. He was a wolf, an alpha, meaning he loved power. Now he had a mate though I knew the pack would always be a second priority; she would always be first and I saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. I could like without my pack, I couldn’t live without her.

I couldn’t help but run a hand through my hair as I tried to calm myself, fighting the urge to start pacing again as I stared at my mates half hidden form as she held the door as if it was a protective shield. I felt my heart clench when I realised she was trying to protect herself from me, my previously violent wolf actually whimpering at the thought of her fearing us. I didn’t like it, and neither did he.

I knew it would take time for her to trust me, but the thought of coming clean with her now and telling her that I was in fact her mate scared the shit out of me. I didn’t know how she would react, how she would take the news and for that reason I found my body stilling in fear as I seemed to freeze as I stared into her bright amber eyes which were swirling with nervousness and concern.

I couldn’t help but smile at the concern present in her gaze, the fact it proved that she cared for me warming both me and my wolf giving me a feeling that I found myself soon craving. It had shot a bolt of warmth through me, a feeling I wanted to literally purr at as I continued to gaze at my mate, feeling my defences crumbling as I looked into those entrancing eyes of hers.

“I don’t want you to freak out” I admitted as I ran my hand through my hair again, my smile widening slightly when I saw her eyes follow the action as she had a soft look in her eyes. I always tended to do it when I was either frustrated or nervous; in this case I was more than a little nervous.
