Gentle Predator

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed and a cold room. The memories of last night instantly came back to my head causing my cheeks to burn red and hot. I have never seen Noah like this. Not even when we did it the first time was he so... So tender and gentle. He took his time and really showed me that he cared for me. My cheeks went hot again at the thought before I quickly shook my head to rid myself of it.

With a deep sigh, I rolled on my back before sitting up straight. A gasped left my lips as I saw Noah sitting on a chair right in front of me. His eyes were fixed on me, and the moment that smirk formed on his face I knew what he was looking at. My eyes trailed down to notice my exposed chest. With another gasp, I pulled the covers to my neck then looked back at Noah to glare at him. He gave a slight chuckle before rolling his eyes at me. Even though he laughed, I knew there was something wrong with him. Just by the way he sat there I could tell there was something a bit off about him today. For one thing, he was fully dressed. He looked like he has been out, but where would he go so early in the morning? It could be that he went for a run, but why would he just dress himself and sit there just to watch me.

It was confusing but I didn't wanted to press anything. Instead I took a deep breath before running my fingers through my hair with my free hand. We looked at each other in silence. It didn't feel weird or awkward, but yet I still couldn't help but feeling that there was something wrong with him. He was keeping something from me. Before I could open my mouth and ask my questions, he beat me to it.

"How do you feel?" He asked calmly. My cheeks went hot again as I looked away from.

"I feel fine." I muttered before clearing my throat. It's too embarrassing to talk about it with him right now. Noah soon opened his mouth to talk again.

"You're gonna spend the day at Dawn's house again?"

I turned my gaze back to him. His eyes burned into me as a serious look just suddenly washed on his face. "I don't know. I mean, I want to but I much rather spend the rest of the day with you." I mumbled the last part unable to get my true feelings out. After last night I should not be shy around him but I can't help but blush even more because of it. Ugh what has gotten into me?

After saying that I stared back at him and expected to see a smile but I received nothin but a blank expression. There was no way of reading what was on his mind and that scared me. What has gotten into him? I have a small frown before letting out a long puff of air.

"I think you should spend the day with her instead."

"Why?"

"I just think that you should. You're learning about your past and I think being with her just fits."

"Are you trying to get rid of me, Noah?" I asked frowning at my own words.

This time he looked away from me and just kept quiet. I knew something was wrong with him and I couldn't help but feel hurt. This was just like the last time. After everything he would just get up and leave me. The first time I may have understood but not after last night. He's just so damn frustrating. Just when you think our relationship is normal and in a good place, he goes and does this bullshit. I didn't expect to be so upset this early in the morning. I hummed looking away from him this time.

"Where are you going?" I asked harsher than I wanted to but he deserves it. Noah sighed before running his hands though his hair a few times.

"Back to the pack."

My eyes widened at his words. I quickly turned back to him. "What?"

"They need me back at the pack. Things are going out of control and Dylan needs the help."
