My Alpha, My Curse 20
Rhea’s POVI walk next to him through the long hallway silently.The hallway ends with a glamorous living room full of comfortable-looking, huge, dark brown couches, a very big TV hanging from the wall, and beautiful, elegant chandeliers. It also had a whole wall-size view of the territory on one side.There were two doors in this room besides the hallway we just came from.He heads into one of them and opens the door, walking inside while I follow behind him.It was the dining room. Of course it was just as elegant looking as the rest of this place.A long table filled with so much food, my mouth automatically started watering on its own, and the smell! Goddess, the smell almost brought a moan I barely contained from escaping.I forced my eyes to focus on the people that were already sitting around the table.Alec smiled at me warmly when our eyes met. He looked so much better than the last time I saw him. I smiled back but refrained from saying anything because he wasn’t the only on
My Alpha, My Curse 21
Adrian’s POVI was holding my hand out for her, waiting patiently.She was afraid of me.It was clear as day in her eyes and in her little flinch earlier. She was trying her best to hide it, to act brave, but her body doesn’t know how to lie as well as her words do.I could see her struggle to decide whether to trust me not to hurt her or not.Slowly, her hand reached for mine. I could almost see her changing her mind at the last second before our skin touched and pulling her hand back just an inch before she pushed herself and placed her palm in mine.Tingles spread out through my whole body instantly. Good kind of tingles. Her skin was soft, delicate in mine. Lennox was ecstatic at the physical contact.I tugged her forward abruptly and turned her around. She fell straight into my lap with a loud, scared gasp from her mouth. Her body tensed up and her eyes went wide as she looked at me in surprise. Our faces were so close to each other. If I move just an inch, our lips could be touc
My Alpha, My Curse 22
Rhea’s POVGoddess, why does it feel so good to sit in his lap? To be surrounded by his arms? Why does it give me so much warmth and safety? I don’t even know anything about this man except how much he hates that I turned out to be his mate. He hated me at first sight, yet, he didn’t let me leave the dining room hungry and starving. He didn’t embarrass me in front of the others by pointing out the obvious. He fed me himself. He took care of me without judging me. He even seemed to like my presence in his arms almost as much as I did.He was confusing me a lot. Can that much hatred and disgust change in an instant?Was he hiding them in front of me to honor our deal and the chance we decided to give each other, or were they really gone?The food was mind blowing. I loved every single thing he put in my mouth. I had to resist my moans so hard every time I tasted something new and every new food that turned out to be tastier than the one before it.No one at the table spoke or said anyth
My Alpha, My Curse 23
Rhea’s POVThe tension coming off Adrian was scary. One second he’s sweet and gentle, and the next he has a glare that could drop someone dead. And it was directed at his brother of all people.I felt bad and responsible for that reaction. Even though I didn’t do anything, but I still felt that way because I was the reason.Alec maintained his relaxed posture, not the least bit affected by the scary aura coming off Adrian or the dark glare in his eyes.He raised his hands and said sarcastically “Fine, buzz killer. We’ll stay inside till you get back”He doesn’t want me to see the territory with his brother.Was it because he still thinks I’m too dangerous around his pack? Especially when he’s not around? Or was there another reason he didn’t want Alec to show me around?Adrian turns to me and I stiffen because he still had that scary look in his eyes. When he noticed my slight reaction, his face relaxed completely and he took a few, slow steps in my direction.“It’s still too early fo
My Alpha, My Curse 24
Rhea’s POVHe knew I was trying to change the subject and he humored me instead of pressing more on the matter.“I was thinking we could watch a move or a tv series. Or I could teach you a game of cards” he said thoughtfully.Both of those things sound interesting, so I shrug and leave it up to him.“You pick whatever you feel like. Both of those are totally new to me” I said shyly.Admitting how much I lack in knowing many simple things is a little embarrassing, but with Alec I don’t find it so hard to admit out loud.He doesn’t give me pity eyes but he does look at me with little empathy and warmth before he says excitedly “Well, what I wouldn’t give to see my favorite movies as if I’m watching them for the first time. Trust me, it feels amazing and the awe that fills you when you enjoy watching something so much for the first time is indescribable. I can’t wait to have you experience that great feeling. Come with me”He made it sound so awesome, I found myself getting excited for t
My Alpha, My Curse 25
Adrian’s POVI sighed in relief as we stepped out of the coffee shop where we were meeting with possible investors for a new project. We’ve been in there for four hours and it was taking everything in me not to cut it short and get back to the pack house.We were still fresh out of war, alpha Victor might have already met with other rogue packs trying to gain back his strength and could be plotting his way to take us out. I didn’t want to be away from the pack for that long in case something happens.“Away from the pack or away from our mate?” mused Lennox in my head.I groaned internally. To say Rhea didn’t cross my mind more than once during this time would be a total lie. She crossed it many, many times in the span of four hours. Too many. I found myself spacing out in the middle of our boring business conversation and going back to when she sat in my lap trustfully and allowed me to feed her myself. The way her face glowed when she tasted food or her eyes glistened when she gazed
My Alpha, My Curse 26
Adrian’s POVThere was no way I crossed her mind even once the whole time I was gone.I bet she didn’t even feel the four and a half hours in the company of my brother the way I felt them pass excruciatingly slow.I was in a hurry I admit to myself because I missed her scent, and those green eyes that contain so many things hiding in them, so many secrets and battles.But as I stood there watching them sitting so close and content, as I saw her tense up and change her whole demeanor upon my entrance, I felt like I was intruding rather than joining. And it made the jealousy I never knew or felt before her explode like a damn volcano inside me. I hated it, I even hated her for stirring that feeling towards my one and only brother. I knew she personally did nothing to stir up that feeling, but her mere existence was reason enough.I shouldn’t be feeling this way. I barely know her. I barely talked to her. But it bothers me that despite that, I believe I have the right to be jealous.“Hey
My Alpha, My Curse 27
Adrian’s POVI allowed myself to hold her by wrapping my arms around her delicately, resting one hand on her waist and the other on the side of her hip.Again, I had that intense feeling that I was now complete and whole.I looked into her eyes and saw her gazing at me with an intensity that sent shivers into my heart. Like she was trying really hard to see and read into the depth of my soul.I waited for her to say something, anything. I could see she had so much on her mind. So much to ask and say about herself. But she didn’t say a thing. And after a while, I realized that she won’t.I cut off the connection between us by shifting my eyes to the filled plate in front of us and removed my hands from her body.While still looking at the plate, I asked firmly “Which is your dominant hand?”“The left one” she answered quietly.“If you’re using both the knife and the fork to cut into something, the dominant hand will be holding the knife and the fork will be held in the other hand.
