PRIMAL Chapter 37
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

Adam was gone the next morning when I woke up.I rolled over and put my hand on his empty pillow and sighed. I knew I needed to talk to Mrs. Chandler so I could convince her to let me out of the promise.Adam was short with me the night before when he came out of the bathroom and got into the bed. I knew he was frustrated-probably not as much as I was-but still, frustrated nonetheless.I was torn between feeling guilty for making the promise and feeling guilty for wanting to break it.I got out of the bed, noticing by the clock that it was still in the early morning.After showering, I changed into warm clothes and left the bedroom to find Mrs. Chandler. I tried to ignore the stares I received from the guards that were still lining Adam's hallway as I made my way to the stairs.The castle was quieter than I had ever heard it, despite there being over a hundred guests roaming around.Liu had told me that the meetings started early in the morning, then they took a break for lunch, and r

After my chat with Mrs. Chandler, I wasn't so convinced that the promise was a bad thing. I was, however, stuck with one lingering thought: Do I love Adam?I didn't have an answer, which solidified Mrs. Chandler's point further. I made my way to find Liu after I walked Mrs. Chandler back to the hospital ward.I found her pouring Victoria's tea in one of the many sitting rooms."Can I talk to you?" I asked her.Her eyes lit up when she saw me, while Victoria just glared. She set the teapot down and rushed out of the room to meet me in the hallway."I'm so glad you're here," she said excitingly."My brain has been frying itself pouring her tea all day. I kind of wish we could come up with some more planning to do, just so I wouldn't have to.''He laughed.It was a shame that someone like Liu wasted away her days pouring tea."I need your help tomorrow," I said."Anything.""I need to put together a birthday party for the Chandler twins,” I explained."I was wondering if you'd like to he

I was shocked.I knew what Tyler had been sent by the Europeans to do, I just never thought he would actually do it. Jace had followed me out of the ballroom-I assumed because he felt guilty about prying to Adam and I's relationship-and he growled when he laid eyes on Tyler and the Alpha Superior.Immediately, I saw Tyler's face turn pale at the sight of Jace.The German Alpha Superior looked over to Jace and I."Is there a problem?" He asked."You tell me," Jace said."Um-no! No problem here, Beta Superior Eaton," Tyler stuttered it out.Damn, he really was scared of Jace.I couldn't read the Alpha Superior's face. Did he know? Did he not know?"Tyler could you leave us for a moment?" I asked.Tyler swallowed hard and walked the long way around Jace to go back into the ballroom."You as well, Jace."His eyes narrowed at me as I said this.Throwing a suspicious glance at both myself and the German Alpha, he turned around slowly and left us standing in the hallway.My heart was beating

I awoke the next morning to an empty bed.It was late.I had no doubt that Adam had left hours earlier for his first meetings of the day. I rolled over and the sheet slipped off my bare shoulders. I shivered at the cold breeze.I sat up, holding the covers to my chest, and looked at the clock. A note sat there, leaning against it. I reached out from the sheer curtain and grabbed it.'Meet me for lunch.'I read the clock and my eyes widened. I only had ten minutes to get ready. I shot out of the bed, tripping over the tangled sheets.I went into the bathroom and began to brush my teeth. I gasped in horror seeing the love bites all over my stomach. I quickly checked my neck and sighed, thankful Adam hadn't left anymore in any noticeable places.My mind immediately flashed back to the night before.My promise was still intact, but it came close to breaking that night.After a few minutes of heated kisses and wandering hands and mouths, we both decided to stop. It wasn't an easy decision

Adam was still in bed with me when I woke up the next morning. I could hear his heavy breathing as I pulled his arms from around my waist.This was easier said than done.The man had a grip that would rival a toddler on their father's leg.I looked at the clock and noticed it was still early in the morning Adam's meetings wouldn't begin for a few more hours.Looking at him, I could tell he had gotten little sleep last night. He had dark circles around his eyes. In fact, he was in such an exhaustive state of sleep, he was nearly snoring.I felt a pang of guilt in my chest.I couldn't imagine the stress this probably put him under. He had so much to deal with already with the Centennial and Europe on the line. The added stress of the tulip's arrival was just the cherry on top.I got out of the bed quietly and changed into comfortable clothes before brushing my teeth.After doing so, I called and asked for breakfast to be sent up to the room. I had no sooner pulled the cart of food into

I knew the German boy had lied.The only post office in town was run by a widower and his three sons. There were no women working in that office.But, now I knew who had intended to send that letter. Barret's pathetic excuse was one that was made up on the spot to cover the tracks of the one who had really sent it: his father.I couldn't help my smile as Jace left the room.Europe would be mine by the end of the week, I was sure of this. Schneider had screwed up and I planned on taking full advantage of it. It was just a matter of time before I was given the go-ahead and Schneider wouldn't know what hit him.I left the conference room and walked to my office. I would have much rather had eaten lunch with my Evelyn, but I had more planning to do that wouldn't be able to wait.A few minutes went by before I heard Jace's footfalls in the hallway.I looked up to see him enter into the office."You found out who the letter was going to be sent to," I guessed.He shook his head and I narrow

Adam's P.O.V.She was right.I didn't make her stay in that foul-smelling hospital room that night. It was partly for her sake, but mostly for mine. I hadn't had a restful night's sleep in a while, and I knew I wouldn't sleep if she was several floors down alone by herself in a hospital cot.I did take precautionary measures, however.A glass of water was beside her on the bedside table if she needed it and I woke up nearly every hour to make sure her fever wasn't coming back.About the fourth time I did so, I began to get frustrated with myself. I had never been so concerned with anyone other than myself before.Evelyn had a way of keeping me on my toes. I found myself doing things just to please or impress her. She was slowly becoming someone I looked to for affirmation, which frightened me more than I cared to express as someone who had always been self-sufficient.I couldn't wait for the day that she fully stepped into her role as my Luna. I already knew she would be phenomenal at
