Chapter 9
I couldn't stop pacing; it was morning, and I was restless. I had hardly slept. It was so frustrating—it was like Alpha Jeremiah had invaded my dreams, even my thoughts. His dimples, his smirk, and those blue eyes were haunting me. I took a hot bath and tried to relax, but there he was again in my head. My cheeks felt hot as I felt a tingling sensation down there. My hand slowly traveled down, and my fingers slowly rubbed my clit. With the heat in my bathroom and the heat down there, I found myself rubbing faster. My mind was uncontrollable; all I could imagine was him having me his way. Worse, him inside me and his tongue tasting me. I moaned as I reached my climax.
I breathed hard. This was bad, and I mean very bad. I couldn't be having crazy thoughts like this about that man. He was bad, and I knew better, but my body was going crazy. I widened my eyes. Why was I feeling this way? Was this man really my mate? I groaned. This is the time I needed my wolf to show up already before things got out of hand. Today I decided to do my own hair and pick my own dress. I was old enough to do these things without my aunt or my mother showing up every time, which is why I also woke up earlier.
I wore a white dress with silver lines on the bodice. I decided to unbraid my hair and let it flow in wavy curls. I was going to avoid my parents and Alpha Jeremiah at all costs today. That was my goal—maybe even avoid them forever. I do not know what hole I was going to crawl into today, but that was the plan.
I decided to go to my favorite spot, the place where nobody ever went. Only my aunt Amara knew I usually spent most of my time reading there, and she had promised not to tell anyone. I loved it because it was a bit further away from home, and I absolutely adored watching the river flow. The sound of the water and the birds singing was so peaceful. This was where I read most of my books for hours without anyone disturbing me.
Today, I had brought my current favorite book, "Stars Aligned," another romance novel I was obsessed with. I smiled as I managed to distract myself from any thoughts of Alpha Jeremiah. I hated that he was all I could think about ever since I met him. He was bad for me and bad for my father's pack.
I giggled as I read a funny chapter. Arnold was my favorite character in the book because he was both funny and romantic. I managed to read 18 chapters, and I knew hours must have passed, but I didn't care. I was too engrossed in the story.
Then, suddenly, I felt a presence. My ears went on high alert. Someone was there, but because my wolf was still dormant, I couldn't tell who it was. I scanned the trees, trying to find the intruder, but I couldn’t trace them. I wanted to stay, but I decided it was time to hide back in my room. I took my bag, stood up, and took a few steps forward.
My body froze as I heard a voice right behind me. My cheeks burned as his body pressed against mine. I could feel him. His body brushed against my ass as he spoke, his warm breath tickling my ear.
"Why are you hiding from me?" he asked, his voice low and teasing. He laughed softly, a sarcastic tone in his voice. "Even if you were halfway across the world, I would find my mate."
He grabbed my waist, and his hand traveled right underneath my breast. I could feel my nipples getting hard and pressing against my dress. I wanted to turn around and slap him hard. I wanted to scream at him and tell him to stay away from me, but the only thing that escaped my lips was a loud moan. I could feel my panties getting wet. He licked my neck and reminded me that I was his.
It was like I was in a haze. His touch, his smell, everything about him was intoxicating. But I broke out of it when I felt his sharp teeth graze against the skin on my neck. Males only did that when they were about to mark their females. I pushed him away hard and sprinted off. I didn't dare look back because if I did, the Moon Goddess only knows what could happen. My body was out of control, even my mind.
I was glad Alpha Jeremiah didn't follow me because I knew if he did, he would catch me in a second. My heart pounded as I ran, my mind racing with thoughts of what had just happened. How could I be so weak? How could I let him get to me like that?
When I finally reached my room, I slammed the door shut and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and desire. I couldn't stop thinking about the way his hands had felt on my body, the way his breath had tickled my ear.
This was bad. Very bad. I couldn't afford to have these kinds of thoughts about Alpha Jeremiah. He was dangerous, and I knew better than to get involved with someone like him. But my body was betraying me. Every time I thought about him, I felt a surge of heat between my legs, a craving I couldn't control.
I threw myself onto my bed and buried my face in my pillow, trying to drown out the thoughts. But they kept coming back, over and over. His voice, his touch, his smell. It was driving me crazy.
I didn't know how long I lay there, trying to calm myself down. It felt like hours. Finally, I sat up and took a deep breath. I needed to get a grip. I needed to stay away from him.
But deep down, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. He was in my head, and no matter how much I tried to deny it, my body recognized him. And that was the scariest part of all.
I decided to distract myself by reading again. I picked up "Stars Aligned" and tried to focus on the words, but my mind kept drifting back to Alpha Jeremiah. I wondered what it would be like to be with him, to feel his hands on my body again, to give in to the desire that was burning inside me.
I shook my head, trying to push those thoughts away. This was not who I was. I was strong, independent, and I didn't need a man to make me feel complete. Especially not a man like him.
But even as I told myself that, I knew it was a lie. Because no matter how much I tried to deny it, the truth was that I wanted him. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything in my life.
