PRIMAL Chapter 8
Three cups of tea and countless pages of parchment later, my head was swimming with information.It had been hours.I'd watched the sun start to set in the window across from where I sat."How are we doing?" Xavier asked, walking into the room."Good, I think," I said, peeling my eyes from the pages of the book. "I'm still on the same book I started with, though."He smiled. "Don't be disappointed, you're more than welcome to take the books to read on your own time.""Thank you," I said.I only planned on reading a page or two more before I came across a very interesting subject."What is Heat?" I asked Xavier."Heat?" He asked.I nodded."Well, I don't know the exact science behind it," he said. "But I believe it has something to do with the pheromones put out by your wolf on certain nights when the moon is full. There's a science behind it, I'm sure. I just never bothered to learn it.""What does it do?" I asked."Well, the way I understand it, Heat is your wolf's way of basically m

I paced back and forth on the carpet, nervously watching the clock beside the bed.It had only been thirty minutes. Thirty minutes since the sun had completely gone down. I didn't know what it was when I felt it the first time. I thought Iwas just hot.But as I changed into shorts and a t-shirt and found no relief, I realized what was happening. My entire body felt like it was trapped in a fire pit. This bedroom quickly began to feel like a kiln.I went to the French doors and opened them up to reveal a balcony. The layer of snow on the balcony was almost up to my knees, but it felt amazing. I threw myself on the ground and began to do snow angels.This was only momentary relief. I felt as if my skin was melting the snow.I stood up, my shirt and shorts soaked to the skin, and began to peel off the layers of clothing I never thought I would find myself completely naked, standing in almost a foot of snow, and yet somehow completely feverish, but there I was.I ran back inside, leaving

Unknown P.O.V."This is the time..."The fire in the hearth cracked and popped, offering the only source of light in the room. The two individuals sat next to each other, both of them gazing into the flames."I agree, she's here and he is distracted. It's what we've been waiting for," he smiled."So why haven't you done anything yet?" She asked. "Our window of opportunity will close soon.""Don't worry... I've already made my move."Soon, they both thought. Soon this will all be over.Evelyn's P.O.V.A soft moan escaped my lips. His mouth moved down the curve of my spine, hot breath fanning against the naked skin. Chill bumps erupted across my entire body.Adam's hands moved down my arms and interlocked with mine. I felt his body climb over mine as he gently moved my hands over my head and pinned them to the mattress. The fact that his body was so closely pressed against mine made my stomach doflips an Olympic gymnast would be impressed by.He flipped me over to face him, making sur

After Adam left, I traveled up to visit Xavier in his library. When I walked in, he was standing over several open books that laid out before him on the table.Upon seeing me enter the room, he looked up and smiled brightly."Evelyn, how are you today?" He asked.I smiled. "I'm fine. How are you?""Just splendid."Xavier left his spot behind the table and walked across the room to meet me there. He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes deeply."How are you feeling?"I was taken back by the forwardness of the question, but I knew what he was referring to."It was miserable," I confessed. My shoulders slumped as I made this remark, but I felt relieved to be able to talk about it."I never want to go into Heat again," I sighed. Xavier gave me a grim smile. "I do not wish to make you feel forced into an uncomfortable situation, but I would like to stress the importance of makingsure you are aware of what you have to do to prevent another cycle of Heat," he warned.I

I could do nothing but sit and listen to her sobs through the phone. Tears had welled up in my own eyes listening to Vega's pitiful cries."Adam's working on seeing what he can do," I said hopefully.I heard her stop and sniffle."If he had done his job in the first place, this wouldn't have happened. The council thinks it was a rogue attack-probably the same one your boyfriend neglected to find," she spat bitterly. I felt my jaw clench."He left men there to investigate. If anyone is to be blamed, it's them and Adam will deal with that. He's looking into it, so don't make any rash conclusions before you have actual facts, Vega. That's extremely unfair.""Are you actually defending him?" She asked incredulously.I took a deep breath. "Yes."I heard Vega let out a breathy laugh. "Well, that didn't take long.""What?" I asked."You getting used to the high and mighty life. God, I knew this would happen to you! You used to be so strong-willed and stubborn and now that you're mated to an

The ringing of the phone startled me out of slumber.I got out of the bed in a hurry and answered the phone."Hello?""Alpha Superior Devereaux wishes for you to join him in his study at the top of the hour," a high-shrill voice said. I looked over to the clock. That was in six minutes. She hung up and so did I.Why on earth they got someone with such an annoying tone of voice to be a telephone operator, I didn't have a clue.I changed out of my t-shirt and jeans into a dress. I walked into the bathroom and tried to comb my hair.I stared at myself in the mirror. Well, this is as good as it is going to get.I was trying to look as nice as possible. I thought maybe Adam would have an easier time forgiving me if I did.As I left the room a voice in the back of my head scoffed. Why on earth would you think this will impress him? Since when do you need his affirmation? And why on earth are you searching for forgiveness from someone who has done worse things to you and never apologized f

What have I done?I sat in a hot bath with the bathroom lights dimmed, but I couldn't relax. Every muscle in my body was tense. I laid my head back against the tub and stared at the bubbles floating across the steaming surface of the water.I wanted to go home. .I was worried about Vega. I had no clue where her father was or where my own father was. I had a headache from turning each problem over and over again in my mind and I still couldn't comprehend it.My heart ached at the thought of my mom by herself. She was so fragile and dependent on my dad. I don't think she had gone a day without him up until that point. As much as I hated him, she needed him. That was the sole reason I actually cared to wonder where he was.Then there was Adam.God, what a man...I had never met anyone like him.Adam was a living oxymoron. He could be so sweet and gentle one moment, but so bitter and demanding the next. I fought my consciousness over whether to give him a chance to prove himself a worthy,

I stood in a conference room in Adam's sweatshirt and a pair of his sweatpants-which were both notably too large for me- as Jace showed him pictures that had been taken that day of my house as it burned to the ground."Oh my God," I whispered as I grabbed one of the photos and observed it. "Was there anyone in the house?"Jace shook his head. "No, one of our men ran in and couldn't find anyone. The fire department confirmed there was no one inside."I felt a rush of relief."How did it happen?" Adam asked, passing me another picture as he finished looking at it."They're doing an arson investigation, but the results could take up to a week to come back," Jace said.We all stood there in deep thought."Did someone see anyone trying to flee the scene?" Adam asked.Jace shook his head. "No, our men saw the smoke from a few miles away and they were the first on the scene. No one came out of the house after they got there and no one in the fire department saw anyone leave either.""No one
