Adelina’s POV
For the rest of the day I stayed in my room, avoiding the Big Bad Alpha! And no it’s not because I’m scared of him, I’m just avoiding another confrontation. Next time I won’t back down. Sure my wolf wouldn’t like it but, I don’t give a figgy pudding anymore. I will not be disrespected especially by my mate. Alpha or not!
It was about time for my date, I changed into a black dress with spaghetti straps, it had a jewel encrusted belt around the waist and it stopped just above my knees. I matched it with a pair of black flats. I had my hair up in a simple ponytail and I resorted to minimal make up. I looked good if I do say so myself. I was actually excited about my time out of the house. Darren is so calm and collective that he brings me a sense of security.
I still had a half hour before our date, so I sat on my bed, playing with the bangles around my wrists. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts. Wanna guess what I was thinking about. Or who? Yup you got that right. I would really like to say that I don’t understand why I’m thinking about him so much, but I can’t. The stupid connection I feel towards him, make his very presence occupy most of my thoughts. It’s not fair how I can’t seem to get him out of my mind. Sure I’ not in love with him, but I just want to be wanted, I want to feel like I belonged somewhere.
There was a light knock on my door which brought me back to reality.
“Come in” I said quietly. The bedroom door opened slowly to reveal a stressed out looking Alpha Grayson. He entered the room, refusing to look at me. “Can I help you Alpha Grayson?” I asked coldly.
He looked up into my eyes and I felt myself being sucked into his beautiful brown eyes. Looking into his eyes make me feel so warm. My blood began to boil as he stared at me intently, not removing his eyes off me. “You look beautiful” he said raking his eyes over my body once before settling to my eyes again.
“Thanks, I guess?” I said, making it sound like a question.
“Look Adelina I’m really sorry about what happened this morning. I just lost it. I let my wolf get the better of me. I know this is really hard for you, and I’m really sorry for putting you through this”
I stood there with my mouth agape not really knowing what to say. Did he really just apologize? I opened my mouth to say something, but he held up one finger “I’m not finished yet” he said walking towards me “I really just want you to be happy, but you can never have that from me. I can never make you happy” his hand stroked my cheek gently, and the way he looked at me almost make me believed what he said. Almost.
“And do you think I’m happy about you rejecting me?” I raised my eyebrow at him. “You know what Alpha Grayson just forget it. Good luck with Rosie” I said rising up from my bed walking towards the door.
He grabbed my wrist spinning me around. “Please Adelina” he pleaded, looking at me with his smoldering eyes. “Can we at least try to be friends?” he asked, looking sincere as possible.
I passed my thumb over his lip once, watching how he shivered under my touch “I’m sorry Peter, but we weren’t meant to be friends” with that I turned and walked down the stairs. Just in time there was a knocked on the front door. I opened it and Darren stood there in a black button up shirt, he left a couple of buttons undone showing off his define chest, the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, enhancing his well-developed arms. His jeans were tight, and hung low off his waist.
“Hey.” I greeted him with a smile on my face.
“Hi, Adelina you look-” he trailed off his eyes raking over my body, lingering on my legs. “Wow” was all he said still looking at my legs.
“My eyes are up here pervert” I said, playfully punching his arm.
“Right, well let’s go” he said holding his hand out to me, I held unto hi as he led me to a black Audi TT. It was absolutely stunning, but I miss my bike. He steered me to the passenger side, opening the door for me.
“Wow Darren, what a gentleman” I said
“Well I do have mad skills when it comes to romancing the ladies” he said, cockily.
“You say that like it’s a lot”
“Well I don’t want to brag about it but…” he trailed off.
“Womanizer” I muttered
“I’m not a womanizer” he defended “I like to think of myself as god’s gift to the ladies”
“Well when your mate comes you’re in for a hell of a ride” I said laughing.
“Speaking of mates, why aren’t you with yours?” he asked. I stiffened, and began to play with the bangles around my wrist.
“I don’t have one” I said through clenched teeth
“Adelina you don’t have to lie to me baby doll. While I was on patrol last night I heard you and Peter arguing about it” fuck! I clenched and unclenched my fist trying to think of something to say. “I can’t help but wonder why you agreed to go on this date with me if you already found your mate” he said confused.
“Darren please just drop it” I practically begged
“Please just help me understand” he said reaching over to take my hand in his. “Please”
“It’s because he doesn’t want me!” I shouted, feeling the anger I felt since I met him come to the fore front “He doesn’t fucking want me. He rather stay with his fucking slut than accept me. I’m not good enough for him Darren that why I fucking agreed to this fucking date. I can’t just wait around for him. What? He fucks the hell out of Rosie then comes crawling to me. I don’t think so. I’m not a toy he can use conveniently. I’m his fucking mate” after my rant, I was breathing heavily, my entire body was convulsing violently, I had no control whatsoever.
I so wanna kill Rosie right now. I said to my wolf, who’s been quiet all day
Finally, I know you’d come around. She encouraged
“Adelina, baby doll calm down” my entire body was throbbing; anger running through my veins making Darren's voice sound like a whisper.
“Shhh don’t cry baby doll. It’s okay. I’m here for you” he cooed. It was only then I realized I was crying. Great I chose my first date night ever to break down and cry. Fun! I violently wiped the tears away, holding unto Darren for dear life, he had pulled across unto his lap, where he rocked my back and forth, trying to calm me down. “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have pushed you into telling me. I didn’t know you were hurting so badly”
“I’m sorry” I said in a husky voice “I just overreacted; I should’ve have more self-control than that”
“It’s understandable, if I was in your situation that guy would’ve been dead” he said seriously
“It just hurts, knowing that I had no one else to count on, and he out right rejected my, without reason”
“You have me now” he said reassuringly “Don’t you worry, one day he’ll be on his knees begging for you to take him back” he said with a smile on his face “And I’ll be there with a camera to document the entire thing”
“Come on play boy let’s go” I said. He restarted the car and we were on our way.
We decided to watch some sappy love story. But we didn’t watch it at all, we talked through the entire movie, he made me laugh and forget about my previous heart ache. Currently we were in a diner, enjoying dinner, playing truth and dare.
“Truth or dare Darren?”
“Dare” he said like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. I tapped my chin thinking about something good.
“Ooooo I got one, I dare you to go seduce that elderly woman over there” I said pointing to an old woman sitting by a table alone.
“Piece of cake” he said getting up and walking over to her. If I weren’t a werewolf I wouldn’t have heard anything but I heard his conversation.
“Excuse me ma’am I couldn’t help but notice you sitting here all alone. Did you come by yourself” Darren asked the confused woman.
“No my husband went to the bathroom” she said in her fragile voice
Darren nodded “Well how about you leave your husband, and we can go have some fun” he said waggling his eyebrows.
“Sorry young man, that impossible”
“C’mon, he doesn’t have to know. I can do things he can’t do anymore. I’ll make you feel like you’re sixteen again”
“Young man I’ll have to ask you to leave me alone” he said getting agitated
“Please baby, we can go to the bathroom now and have a quickie, I’ll teach you some new tricks” he said
The lady gripped her purse and started to hit his head with it. I burst out laughing. That was hilarious. Her husband came back. I saw granny explaining to him what Darren told her and he begun to beat him with his walking stick. I laughed even harder. My sides started to hurt, I laughed so hard I had tears trickling down my face
“That was hilarious” I said to him when he returned to the table.
“Well I’m glad you had fun on my account” he said. “Your turn” he sang “Truth or dare?”
“Dare”
“Well seeing as the manager is on his way here to kick us out, seduce him”
I turned around to see this really fat guy, with sweaty armpits walking our way. I groaned loudly. Great. He was balding in the middle of his head and he stunk of onions and sweat.
“Work your magic” Darren said
The man approached us “Excuse me, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave” he said sternly
“But why?” I asked innocently
“Ma’am this is a public place, you kids are being rowdy”
“Bill” I said looking at his name tag, dragging my hands across his arm “Wow you’re so strong, do you work out?” I asked
That’s just disgusting. My wolf said
Tell me about it.
“Ma’am you gonna have to leave” he said, his resolve wavering because I was stroking his arm
I moaned loudly, biting my lips “I just love the way you call me ma’am. It’s super sexy” I said huskily, dragging my hand discreetly over my breasts, causing him to look down. “How about you give me your number, so we can meet up and you can call me ma’am as much as you want” I said breathily.
He gulped loudly, nodding. He wrote his number down on a napkin “I’d definitely be looking forward for that call” he said trying to sound sexy. He definitely didn’t pull it off, he sounded like a drowning cat. Epic fail!
“Bye Bill” I said winking at him. He turned and walked away. I turned to Darren who had a clouded expression on his face “Hook, line and sinker” I said chuckling.
He joined in “That was too sexy. He’s gonna be having wet dreams about you tonight” he said “Wanna go?” he asked. I nodded and grabbed his outstretched hand. We drove back in comfortable silence, occasionally talking about the events of our date. We arrived back at the main house at around nine; he walked me to the door.
“I had a really great time, thank you for making me feel better” I said pulling him into a bone crushing hug.
“I had fun too” he said
“Well good night” I said
“Good night baby doll” he said kissing my cheek, before walking away. I opened the door, walking into the house trying to be as quiet as possible.
“Had fun?” a voice in the darkness asked.
