PRIMAL Chapter 30
Adam and I slept in the next morning, which I didn't think he could do seeing as he was leading the werewolf population of three continents.When I woke up, my back was pressed against his chest, legs tangled with his. His arm was still around my waist, the other stretched out under my pillow.I yawned and sighed contently, having slept the best that night than all the other nights I had been there.I sat up slightly and my eye caught a glimpse of the time from the clock next to the bed.Alarmed at the time, I shook Adam slightly."What?" He mumbled, his voice was husky and deep. His eyes remained closed as he pulled me back down to lay next to him."No, you need to get up!" I whispered frantically. "It's late. Don't you have to work?"Adam sighed as he peeked one eye open."It's Saturday, love," he said."You take the weekends off?"He smiled at this. "I'm not a machine.""I mean, I know, but-""Shh," Adam said, closing his eyes and pulling me close to him.I sighed and laid down b

"She's very forgiving," he said, gesturing towards me. "But, if this happens again, I won't be."Well shit.I was certainly at a loss for words in that moment, but Vega nodded understandingly."I'm so sorry," she said again, looking at me.I sighed and opened my arms, embracing her in a hug.Vega hugged me tightly and pulled away."I've got to get going," she said. "Dad's getting blood transfusions done today and Mom wants me there."Blood transfusions?"Why?" I asked her.She shrugged. "I don't know. They hadn't even found a properdonor yesterday, so I don't know if they'll even go through with it.""What blood type are they looking for?" I asked.She shrugged."You could come along and ask?" I nodded."Is that okay?" I asked Adam. I didn't want to cancel plans on him, but I wanted to help Mr. Chandler too."I'll come," Adam said nodding.We followed Vega down the hallway and walked a few floors down until we were in the hospital ward.The smell of disinfectant was prominent and

"Ouch!"I pulled my finger from underneath the flower backdrop and looked at the puncture the rose's thorn had left."Be careful," Liu said, tucking a yellow rose into thick bushel of baby's breath.I looked at the blood drawing to the skin."Too late."I got down from the ladder and looked at the elaborate arch of flowers over the large doorway."I'm glad you talked me into adding in the genesta and the chinamum," I commented, seeing how all the flowers blended nicely together."The yellow roses were a good call too," she said, getting down from the step stool."You sound like a bunch of seventy-vear-old women." Tyler said.I looked over to see him staring at us."You're supposed to be dusting."He narrowed his eyes at me and began to sweep the feather duster over the gold candelabra that sat on the mantel, all the while not breaking eye contact."Don't you have maids for this?" He asked me."You haven't helped do anything else," I said. "You're earning your room and board by clean

My dresses arrived later that night, not long after Liu and I had finished putting the finishing touches on everything for the Gala of Arrival.After Adam and I had returned from dinner, I saw them hanging up in dust bags on a clothes rack that had been pushed into his bedroom."They're here!" I said excitedly, walking over to them.I opened the dust cover on the first dress and gasped.It was a mauve-colored silk gown that had a crystal-beaded bodice and cinched waist. It was paired with a matching sheer duster that had long bell sleeves and was beaded with crystals along the bottom."Do you like it?" He asked."Like it? I love it!"Adam laughed. "I'm glad."I opened the rest of the dresses, each one breathtakingly stunning."I'm actually really excited for this week now," I said, putting them back on the rack."Were you not before?" He asked me as he unbuttoned his shirt."I was just stressed out about it," I said."Well, don't be," he said taking off his shirt. "You've done a gre

Unknown P.O.V."It begins today," he said. "The Centennial which marks the end of an era."She smiled. "Have you reached out to your contacts yet? Will they be able to get us in?"He nodded. "All we have to do now is wait."Evelyn's P.O.V."If you do this, you will not get my help!""I don't need your help, I just need you to trust me."Adam was not happy with his father.That morning, someone brought up the plans Adam had for Europe to his father and it was clear that Malcom did not approve."They are our biggest ally! What will you do if a war comes and you no longer have them on your side?" Victoria asked. "You could lose everything!"I rolled my eyes.No one invited you.In fact, she had invited herself into the office, yet again, to hear the argument that would ensue."I'm not asking for permission," Adam said to her.I could tell he was angry. Both because his father had strolled into his office, unannounced and without warning, and because Malcom was trying to argue with him.

After being assured by Liu that the planning was finished and there was nothing left to do but wait until people began to arrive, I went upstairs to get ready.I took a long shower. After that, I did my makeup and curled my hair. Once I was satisfied with how I looked, I walked out into the bedroom in a towel to find a dress to wear.I walked over to the clothes rack full of hanging dresses and browsed through them.I got to the pink dress and stopped."I like that one the best."I screamed and turned around to see Adam standing directly behind me, laughing. "You scared me, you jerk!"I swatted at him and he caught my wrist."You're cute."I rolled my eyes. "I didn't even hear you come in.""I'm very stealthy," he said, winking. "You look beautiful by the way."He lifted my hand up to his mouth and kissed the inside of my palm."Thanks," I said, pulling my hand away.I turned back to look at the dresses and was considering the pink one when his arms slid around my waist."I can hel

I felt like I was going to pass out.As soon as Adam and I entered the room, everyone's heads turned.Adam didn't seem to notice and he walked right in and began to greet people. I stood close by him, my hand still resting in the crook of his arm.He walked over to a man who was wearing a black and gold dashiki with matching pants. The man smiled as he saw Adam approaching him."Ndewo," he greeted."Hello, Nwabueze," Adam said, shaking his hand."It has been too long," Nwabueze said."Indeed. This is my mate, Evelyn," Adam said, introducing me."It's a pleasure to meet you," I said, holding out my hand.He took my hand and kissed the back of it."The pleasure is mine, Evelyn.""Where is your father?" Adam asked."I have no doubt he is wandering around somewhere,"Nwabueze said, laughing.Adam laughed. "I think I'll go find him. Enjoy yourself tonight."I smiled at Nwabueze as Adam and I walked away."Who was that?" I asked."Nwabueze Oghojafor," Adam replied."He's the Beta Superior o

I turned to see Adam and Diedrick walking over to us and I found myself under Diedrick's intense stare once again."Dinner is about to start," Adam said."Would you like to come sit down?"I looked back at Liu."You can ask me later," she said smiling.I nodded at her and turned to see Adam holding out his hand for me to grab.Weaving my fingers through his, I followed him as he led me over to the long tables where we would be sitting.Adam pulled out my chair and I sat down."How did that go? What did he want?"I spoke in hushed tones as he sat down next to me."I'Il tell you later," he said winking.I nodded and looked across the table to see Alpha Superior Chen sit down. Beside him sat a young man-or at least he looked young--that was probably Adam's age.He had high cheekbones and jet-black hair that was combed back."Who is that?" I asked Adam."That's Zhao Chen," he said."He's Alpha Chen's son as well as the Beta Superior over the Asian packs."I nodded."He's very quiet," Adam
