PRIMAL Chapter 41
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

Evelyn's P.O.V.It was the last night of the Centennial.Adam was right when he told me I would be sore from shifting. I laid in bed for the rest of the day, barely able to move.But I was determined to be at the gala that night. I had missed the night before last because of Heat and I had missed the previous night because Dr. Zusak didn't discharge me from the hospital ward until later in the evening.However, I wasn't going to miss that night for the world. I had saved the most beautiful gown for last and I smiled when I pulled it out of the dust cover that evening as I began to get ready.It was a crimson red ballgown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a corseted waist adorned with beaded lace appliqués.I put on red lipstick to match and pulled my hair back in a low, loose bun before I stood in front of the mirror. I admit that I twirled around a few times.I felt like a princess.Judging by the look on Adam's face as he walked through the bedroom door, I looked like one too."

I couldn't believe it. It had been three days since Adam made the announcement that he was officially the Alpha Superior of Europe, making me the Luna Superior of Europe.The Centennial had ended.Everyone had gone home-including the Germans, who left sulking. Diedrick had stayed behind, which I wasn't surprised by seeing as he had just been practically disowned by his father for his assistance in Adam's ploy for control.Nearly half a week had passed and I was still baffled by the scheme. I didn't understand how Adam had successfully taken over Europe without so much as lifting a finger."It's all in the tactic, darling," he said as he packed his suitcase."But I don't understand," I said."How on earth did you get him to just give you an entire continent?""I didn't." he said. "Diedrick did.""But how?"Adam stopped packing and looked up from his suitcase at me."I offered Diedrick a position as Beta under the condition that he could get his father to sign the papers and he accepted

I felt like I was going to pass out.My hands were shaking as I put them up to cover my mouth in shock."Evelyn Schubert, mate of mine and love of my life, I know it hasn't been one hundred days yet, but I'm an impatient man."I laughed as I felt tears welling up in my eyes."Would you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife and Luna?""Yes!"I had said it before Adam could even finish asking.I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as he sighed in relief and hugged me back. Adam kissed my lips with such passion that my mind went blank and he was the only thing I could focus on.He pulled away slowly, leaving his forehead to rest against mine as I caught my breath."We're forgetting something," he said smiling.I looked down at his hands where he was still holding the velvet ring box.Cushioned inside was a diamond ring that put them all to shame. It was a huge, pear cut diamond that was at least three carats. A halo of smaller diamonds surrounded it and cove

Unknown P.O.V."I tried!"The man grabbed a vase that perched near him on the mantel and threw it at Ludwig Schneider, whom it narrowly missed as he ducked at the last moment."You didn't try hard enough!"The man's eyes were filled with rage. It took everything inside of him not to kill the former Alpha Superior."I'm sorry!" Ludwig Schneider said."The letter was not supposed to be intercepted. I'm not sure how they found it."This was a lie.He knew giving it to the maid to deliver was a mistake.Originally, he had meant for Barret to leave the castle and deliver the forged invitation himself, however Alpha Superior Deveraux had restricted all access to and from the castle during the week they were there. Barret would never have been able to leave, so he had to improvise."That was my chance," the man growled."Because of you and your incompetence, it is gone."Ludwig Schneider gulped, suddenly fearing for his life."But you have other contacts inside the castle. Can't you still fi
