Chapter 69
“Come spend the night with me?” He finally spoke again after a few seconds,
Everything in me wanted to nod my head and agree to do exactly that, but I couldn’t.
I was scared Emilia or someone else would try to enter into my mom again and plant in something. Or that Jessy would wake up alone and spend the entire day mad at me again.
“I can’t.” I whispered back to the Alpha, thankful that my voice actually worked with me, but my response made him frown.
“Why not?”
“Jessy. I don’t want her waking up all alone.”
His eyes moved towards the bed at the mention of my daughter and I watched as they softened. He seemed to think through some things but eventually his eyes returned to.amine and he was nodding his head in response.
With one last look at Jessy’s sleeping frame on the bed and at me, he opened the door and left the room and it felt as though
hole had appeared in my chest.
I went back to bed and held Jessy closely in my arms, shutting my eyes tight and praying to whoever was listening to send me sleep.
But my tingling body and heated thoughts did not allow for me to find any rest.
Sitting up in bed, I let out a frustrated sigh and slipped out, putting my hair into a ponytail to prevent it from entering my
slippers. eyes and then slipping my feet into my
I dug around for the keys that Zoe had showed me on my first night here, before picking Jessy in my arms and taking along the sheets that were wrapped around her.
Taking a deep breath, I moved out of the door, locking it firmly behind me and then I walked in the direction of Christie’s room and when I knocked gently on her door, I silently prayed that it was her that responded to the door and not her
roommate.
Luck seemed to be on my side because a sleepy Christie opened the door and for a moment guilt tugged at my heart at the fact that I was ruining her sleep.
“Freya? Is everything okay?” She asked sleepily, eyeing Jessy in my arms.
“Umm yes. 1-1 just can’t sleep and I was thinking of going out to the garden t–to get some fresh air. I’m hoping that would help but I don’t want to leave Jess alone. I bit my lips hard.
This was a world record of lows that I was currently hitting. Everything in me, including my wolf was judging me but I couldn’t take it back now. The words were out and I just needed to follow through with it.
“Oh sure. Let me have her. I think she should spend the night here, if she keeps moving she might wake up and that is bye bye sleep for the rest of the night.” Christie said withPa chuckle.
But the sickening feeling in my stomach thd not allow me return her smile. I placed Jessy carefully in her arms, murmuring my thanks to the maid.
Make yourself some tea Freya I think it’ll help.” Christie advised and I nodded my head distractingly.

- AG.
“Okay Goodnight then. See you tomorrow.” Christie said, shutting the door the moment I wished her a Goodnight too.
I took several deep breaths to calm my racing heart and also to gather a semblance of organization before making my way out of the quarters and up the stairs.
I knocked softly on the Alpha’s door and my stomach churned softly in anticipation. What if he had gone to bed or maybe Changed his mind?
I pressed my ears against the door, trying to pick out any sounds from within the room and then I raised my hands to knock on the door again with my ears still pressed against the mahogany but before my hands could make contact with the door, it was being pulled open.
I stumbled into the room but warm, strong arms wrapped around my frame saving my face from coming in contact with the floor.
When I was stable on my feet, I caught the amusement dancing in the Alpha’s eyes and I blushed as a result, averting my eyes immediately.
His fingers touched my chin and the warmth of the single movement caused me to shiver in pleasure:
“Why were you pressed against the door?” He asked and I blushed again.
“I was trying to listen for any sounds.” I said softly and he chuckled.
This was the second chuckle I ever heard him produce and I still wasn’t used to the sound at all.
“Did you leave Jessy by herself?” He suddenly asked, his brows furrowed.
“No. I left her with Christie.”
I watched as different emotions flashed through his eyes at my words but soon his eyes cleared again and it was back to the cold grey that I was used to know.
His eyes fell upon my hair and he frowned at it, then he hooked his fingers into the hair band that held my hair in place and pulled it free then he began running his fingers through my loc Smiling in what looked like satisfaction.
“I’m not sure what I’ve started but I don’t think I want to stop. He whispered softly.
I remained quiet because I was scared to say the wrong things but as he leaned down to connect his lips with mine, all of those thoughts went out the window.
I was sure I didn’t want to stop this too.
