Running from the Alpha, Cherrytop [digital ebook reader txt] 📗

had to make an attempt, if this was of course going anywhere, though my mind began to wonder back to how Markus’s arms must feel against my skin if he were replaced by Adrian. “We’ll have to go slower, this was just a one off,” I replied as I took a step towards the door and hopped into the room, praying Adrian would possibly leave me to understand the situation that was occurring right now.
“Absolutely,” Adrian replied as he sent me a massive toothy grin, it wasn’t that Adrian was an ugly wolf or anything, in fact he was quiet the opposite, a face that could only get away with breaking hearts, a predator to allure prays with the way his gorgeous blue eyes appeared over you, capturing many women’s hearts.
I smiled to myself, maybe starting a new relationship would perhaps help me to forget about my real mate, hopefully my feelings may become mutual. “Goodnight,” Adrian spoke through the darkness as he silently shut the doors before coming towards me and soothingly planting a kiss upon my cheek, a smile bending his lips in satisfactory as he exited the room, his footsteps could still be heard through the hall though.
My heart was thumping faster than a clock, now knowing that Adrian felt this way towards me, how could I become used to the proposal that forcing myself to try and return his feeling was not incorrect but in fact a superior way to deal with my heart that only belonged to Markus himself.
I ignored the pain that my wolf was whimpering; even the beast inside of me knew that trying to forget about the Alpha was almost impossible.

Running from the one you love is almost impossible.
Chapter 3

I woke up early following morning, the birds chirping and the whispering that echoed through the dainty cabin could be overheard, my head suddenly swirled with the memories and the physical contact I had been through with Adrian, my heart pounded rapidly, instantly regretting my actions, now not only did he believe that my feelings were also identical to him but we had kissed!
I took a long pause before I lifted my frail body from the bed, the wound on my leg was only a scar that remained, a smile creased upon my lips. Seemed everything was fine so far, but how was I going to explain to Adrian about yesterday incident? I must have felt wheezy and probably wasn’t thinking straight, but recapturing the way his face changed after I had dissatisfied him made my heart churn.
I edged towards the door, hearing the low whispering becoming a portion louder, just appropriate for my ears to capture the words they softly spoke. “So what are you going to do now?” I caught the minor voice of Chelsea.
“You heard Markus, we need to return to castle immediately otherwise we’ll die,” I suspected they were talking about the relationship between us, but as soon as the name Markus hit my ears, my body shook back, what did they mean by return?
I threw the bedroom door open, storming towards the stunned faces as they gasped at my occurrence. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I growled angrily, colliding a fist down onto the table with so much strength you could hear the wood cracking.
Adrian sighed, his eyes returning to his fingers as they picked dead skin inelegantly. “Markus’s men had arrived on our doorstep yesterday while you were asleep, it was a disbelief you hadn’t awoken,” Adrian grumbled as he shifted awkwardly. “They said that we must return in less than a week otherwise they’ll drag us back and kill every single one of us leisurely.”
My heart had frozen, the chilling speech that ran along my spine was unable to move, was the words he had just spoken true? Or was this an unpleasant joke they were playing on me? “You’re kidding right?” I laughed hysterically, trying to disregard the solemn expressions that were plastered on their faces. “So you’re going to give up? Just like that?”
Their faces seemed expressionless and my eyes caught the sign of packed luggage’s set by the door. “We have no other choice, Elisa,” Sam replied sternly, not meeting eye contact.
“We’ll keep running, they found us because we were located in one place, if we keep moving-“
I was vulgarly cut off by the irritated tone of Adrian. “We want to live Elisa and we are going back!” The silence regained consciousness as we all stood there cumbersomely, trying to find any explanation.
“I’m not going back,” I replied firmly. “You can go; I’m going to keep running.”
Adrian scowled at me, his eyes as black as midnight, his pupils had completely disappeared. “You are coming with us,” He snarled.
I stood my ground, though I was secretly frightened as I had never seen this side of Adrian before, an untamed beast. I gasped, of course it had been long enough that Adrian was slowly changing, he no longer obeyed any orders and so his form was becoming his own. “Look at yourself!” I shrieked “You’re not longer part of that pack, we decided this a while ago and running is no decision for us now! I yelled at him, throwing anything that was in my grasp.
Adrian ducked at my attempts, his claw like hand grabbed the table, instantly throwing it angrily at me, narrowly missing my head and smashing into smithereens against the wall. “Enough!” Chelsea bawled so loudly that it wounded our sensitive ears. “Elisa’s right, we’ve come too far to just give up now, we have to keep going,” Chelsea explained, her voice seemed tranquil and her eyes narrowed into slits directly at Adrian whose eyes returned to his usual colour.
“Taking sides?” Adrian mocked as he pushed a hand into his unruly hair, bringing himself to lean against the counter.
“Not at all, I’ve just decided to agree with Elisa, her opinion is much sturdier than yours,” Chelsea replied stubbornly.
Adrian pushed his eyes towards me, somehow fire licking at his pupils, the atmosphere between us was substantial and I felt uncertain of what he might do next. “Fine.” Was his simple reply as he stalked off into the living room and vanished.
We stayed soundless for a couple of hours, picking up the broken pieces we had shattered with rage, this was possibly ruthless as I knew that becoming a desolated wolf could cause a lot of exposures. But what other choice did I have? I asked myself as my eyes wondered over to the figure that stood in the doorway.
Adrian who regarded me with sympathy, had he supposedly returned to his usual self now? I cautiously asked myself as I stood and prudently walked over to him. “I want to apologize for the way I acted towards you, I…wasn’t myself,” He whispered, his eyes gleamed with something unknown.
Unconsciously my fingers gently grazed over his slightly stubble chin, feeling the roughness against the tips of my fingers, a smile fixed against my lips, as my eyes stared back at the reflection in Adrian’s eyes. “Apology accepted,” I mumbled.
Adrian leaned down, slowly grazing his lips against mine, though his eyes were cautious before he gently placed a kiss against my chin, mumbling sweet words into my ear, I had almost forgotten the presence of Chelsea and Sam as they gasped in repulsion at the scene.
I shot away from him, knocking over yet another glass that shattered against the floor. “It’s not what it looks like!” I stuttered as their eyes flickered between Adrian and me.
“Really? Then what exactly is it?” Chelsea pounced back, her eyes fiery as her lip curled.
I couldn’t utter a word, my mind was completely blank, why was she so upset? I hadn’t had a chance to speak to Chelsea about this, so it gave me a right to explain. “It happened yesterday,” Adrian interrupted our staring competition.
Chelsea’s cold eyes flickered towards him; her face softened a small amount. “And when were you going to tell us?”
My face instantly heated what must they have thought when they had seen us cuddling together, more the thought of why we had actually been cuddling together was beyond me. “And what about your mate Markus? He’s the Alpha and if he finds out that you two are hooking up together, lover boy will be dead in less than two seconds!” Chelsea hissed as she sent daggers across to Adrian.
“He won’t find out!” I returned. “We’ll be running and we’re not even mated so it’s none of his business.”
“What if he does find us, what if he does find out about you two?” Chelsea questioned. Tapping her foot impatiently as her lips turned into a thin line with antagonism.
“Why would he care anyway? I’m just his bodyguard!” I shouted angrily, my voice echoed against the walls as I stormed from the room and hurled my body against the comfortable mattress. Though I didn’t want to admit defeat, what if he did find out about us two? Though there should be nothing between us in the first place.
I needed to refresh my mind, try to stay calm even though my brain was thrashing with questions that were in need of answers. I quietly tiptoed across the room, trying to immerse the sound of my footsteps into the carpet, and extending my hand to reach the door.
Pulling the handle down and meeting the four inch high snow brought pleasure through my lonely body. I needed time to think and recapture why I was putting myself through all this discomfort.
I staggered through the dense substance, the snow was cold but It didn’t seem to affect me much as I walked barefoot across the land and into the trees where everything was as silent as a predator.
Though sun glazed down upon me, nothing seemed to awaken my rigid body as it stalked further into the woods, abandoning the cabin.
That’s when my eyes captured the glittery objects that fell silently from the sky, and gradually settling onto the mountain of snow. A thousand snowflakes began to drop, slowly sprinkling over the trees, blanketing the woods. Nature was divine and I felt impossibly free, then as I was about to reach down to pick up the soft substance a loud snap sounded from behind making me turn to meet forbidden eyes anyone would fear. Markus.
I took a deep breath as his scent lingered upon my nostrils, making me feel totally aroused by his presence, though my body screamed for me to run, run as fast as I possibly could, try and escape him and is captivating eyes that never seemed to leave mine. I couldn’t speak, meeting so unexpectedly was a shock and I knew leaving the cabin was a bad idea. “So we meet again,” His voice rumbled powerfully through the trees, the tender snowflakes landed gracefully in his hair, making him become even more
