Never Submit to My Mate Chap 80
Allison's POVI was in the library, in the old section. The musty smells of the books surrounded me. I had come in here a while ago to see if I could somehow distract myself and get a break from all my disturbed thoughts. Books usually fascinated me, but they held no attraction for me today. My mind kept straying to Dante, wondering what he was doing, how he was coping, and how he was feeling now. I thought about all that had happened in the last few days. With a concentrated effort, I shifted in my chair and squinted at the book I was holding. The words seemed to waver and run together. I found myself reading a paragraph more than ten times which I couldn't even make sense of. Giving up on the futile exercise, I pushed the book away from me and glanced at the door of the library. Lucius stood there, his arms folded across his chest with his back almost turned to me. By his rigid posture, I knew he was attuned to every move I made. With the run-ins we had in the past and the times I

Allison's POVI watched his face tighten at my declaration and knew I was going to have a lot of talking to do in order to convince him to open up to me. It was going to be a long, hard battle but I was determined to win. I peered at him in the dim light. All the blinds in the room had been drawn and the only light came from the half-open bathroom door. My eyes took in Dante's appearance. I had never known him to look so worn out even when he was under an enormous amount of stress. The threats to his life from the traitors a while ago had not been able to do this to him. After all Lucius had told me, I now saw Dante in a whole new light. I could see how he presented such a tough exterior to the world, just like me. But inside, there was a man who wanted badly to be understood. He was staring at the door with a frown on his face as though wishing someone would come in and take me away. Without turning, I shut the door gently and turned the key in the lock. He further straightened

Dante's POVUnable to help myself, I captured Allison's lips with mine. I had never tasted anything so luscious, so inviting. I moaned deep down in the throat and I felt her shiver of pleasure. Kissing my mate was like coming home. I kissed her urgently, feverishly, channeling all my frustrations and pent-up desires into the kiss. She responded in kind. I ran my fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp as my eyes drifted closed of their own volition. I had wanted to utter more protests concerning all she had said to me but the first brush of her lips on mine effectively drove all considerations from my mind. For now, I couldn't tell if she was kissing me because she missed me, or if she just wanted me to get out of my head for a minute. Whatever her reasons were, it was working. Allison's lips parted and the first brush of her lips against mine fired my blood. I grabbed her waist and without breaking the kiss slowly pulled her down from the table so she could sit on my lap. I

Allison's POV The next morning, I was woken up by the twittering of a bird right outside the window. I blinked sleepily and rubbed my eyes so I could see clearly. Strong sunlight streamed in from the open window, an indication that it was probably mid-morning. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was a few minutes past 10. Damn! I had slept in. I could not remember the last time I had woken up this late. Remembering all that had happened last night, I turned to the other side of the bed. Dante was not there. He was nowhere in the room. There was just the indentation of his body on the sheets and of his head on the pillow. He had probably gone to attend to some other things hours ago while I slept. I stretched out a hand and touched the spot where he lay, fancying I still felt the warmth of his body. I yawned, stretched, and sat up. At the movement, I winced. I was suddenly conscious of a slight pain in my abdomen and my lower limbs. But the majority of the pain was centered ar

Allison's POV Things were beginning to get better at the pack. It was admittedly unreasonable to expect everyone to get back to normal after losing an important member of the pack. I hadn't gotten back to normal yet. It spoke of how much happiness and light Madison had brought to Dante's house when I noticed how gloomy it tended to be these days. It had been two weeks since Madison passed and we all were trying desperately to adjust to her absence. Dante had taken my advice. He had taken a lot of his responsibilities off Maddox's shoulders. I could see that he was making an effort to be the leader everyone wanted. But I could also see that he was struggling. A sign that he had not totally healed was the disruption of our morning routine. Ever since I came to Dante's pack, I had almost always had breakfast in the dining room with Dante and Maddox. That has changed now. Once, a few days after Madison's burial, I had braced myself and gone into the dining room to find it empty.

Allison's POV I nodded at Dante's words. His words evoked a lot of memories. There was a time right before the attacks on Dante's pack began when Madison and I were having breakfast together. I had concentrated on my food and Madison had been chattering about the kinds of clothes she liked, her favorite colors, and a lot of things I was barely paying attention to. Then she had stopped abruptly and asked, "What flower do you like most? I absolutely love roses- red ones in particular." she had added after I didn't respond to her question. Her hands had unconsciously touched the sleeve of the flower-patterned blouse she was wearing. I had made an impatient gesture. "I do not like flowers at all," I had said. "Flowers are childish and I definitely wouldn't waste a thought on them." I chuckled sadly at the memory. Perhaps the memory of that day had been floating around in my subconscious. That was why I had gotten the exact flowers she liked. Dante heard me chuckle. I noticed the

Allison's POV I looked from Dante at Maddox and back again, hardly able to believe the evidence of my ears. My mind whirled as I fought to grasp the implications of what I had just heard. I wondered how the hell Darius could be in the same house with me without my knowledge. Had he been here for hours? days? Weeks? What room had he been staying in and why had I not run into him? Then I considered Maddox's manner. He was obviously being secretive about the whole issue and that made me very suspicious. To make it worse, he had said Darius's body had been contaminated with silver! Maddox would not have been waiting for Dante if Darius's condition was not critical. Dante had a worried frown on his face and seemed at a loss for words at the moment, so I turned to Maddox. I was about to speak when Dante broke in. "Are you quite sure of what you are say-" Maddox cut in. "I am. I would not have bothered you about it if I wasn't very sure." Maddox shifted his weight from one foot to

Dante's POV Repeatedly, I ran my fingers through my hair as my mind darted like a trapped animal in a dozen different directions. I stared at Allison whose face was now as still and as immobile as a statue. She looked at me the way she had done when she first came here- suspiciously and distrustfully. Her earlier relaxed expression had disappeared the way a fist does when the palm opens. I fought with myself, forcing myself to assume an unreadable expression at least. Allison could not know of the turmoil I was going through inside. I surveyed the area, staring at Lucius's departing figure. At the moment I wished I was him and did not have to face Allison's fury. I would not mind much if I had the explanations she wanted. But I had nothing at the moment and that pissed me off. To buy time, I jerked my chin in the direction of the house. "Let us go in," I said quietly. She bared her teeth and growled. A muscle jumped in her jaw. "You can say whatever it is you have to say ri
