Chapter 104: Chapter 104
He was as handsome as I remembered except now he seemed more mature. His innocence was still there but hidden, he was bigger too, his shoulders broader with muscles.
But his beautiful green eyes stared at me, as if they could see right through me. Disbelief, anger and sadness swirled in them and I found myself speechless as I felt electric shocks go through my body at his touch.
"Anne" He said in a deep, hoarse voice "God, this can’t be a dream" He caressed my face as if I would disappear "You’ve changed. Your hair’s brown and you’re not wearing glasses."
I finally found the courage to speak and avoided his eyes "You have the wrong person" I said stepping away and I instantly felt cold and longed to be back in his arms. "I’m Nate Tatum, not Anne or...whoever"
"What? You’re Anne, Anne Terrance"
"No I’m Nate Tatum" I said acting irritated; please believe me’ I chanted in my head. "I’m interviewing for a job here, that’s all"
"A job you got" Lily added with a smile "The children seem to love you, you can start tomorrow" I nodded, not knowing if I was going to take the job because of Adrian but I had to, I needed to keep my apartment.
"I have to go, it’s getting dark" I said and went towards the front door. For a minute Adrian stepped right in front of me, his eyes staring into mine before he took a deep breath and nodded, letting me pass. "I’ll see you tomorrow"
"I’ll give you a ride-" Lily started but I interrupted her
"Its okay, my friend will pick me up" I said as I got out of the house and started walking away from it. I called Patrick and told him to pick me up as I waited outside. Millions of thoughts were running through my mind but one was the loudest of them all.
Adrian Morgan was back in my life.
*****
Adrian’s P.O.V.
"WHY DIDN’T YOU LET ME GO AFTER HER?!" I yelled angrily at Ethan. I wanted to go after her but Ethan commanded me through the pack link not to.
"because I told him to" Lily said and I snapped, I glared at her, My wolf was taking control and I could feel it clawing to get out
"Why?" I said taking a few steps towards her "That’s my mate. Do you know how long I’ve waited to see her? To smell her scent?" I grabbed her by the "You of all people should know that"
"I do" she said calmly "That’s why I did it. It was for the best."
I growled at that "For the best?" I shook her "Why is for the best that I let my mate slip away again? Tell me why damn it "
Ethan growled at me "Take your hands off her Adrian or I swear to god I’ll kill you" His warning snapped me back to reality and my wolf backed down. I let go of Lily and winced at seeing the red marks where my fingers were.
Ethan looked at the marks and growled in a second he was in front of me, his eyes piercing black. Lily laid a hand on his shoulder and he tensed before relaxing. "I’m fine" she said and made him turn to her. She smile and pecked him on the lips before she walked and stood in front of me. I avoided her gaze, How the hell could I hurt her?
"Adrian it’s okay I swear" She said "Your wolf was in control you weren’t sane" she placed her hand on my arm "now look at me"
I finally looked at her and sh sighed "I told Ethan to command you because your wolf was taking control you would have lost it with her and scared her away. Do you really want that?" she smiled "plus I have her a job so she’ll have to come back"
I sighed "i guess you’re right it’s just...seeing her again, smelling her scent so strong it drove me mad." I shook my head "And then when she said she wasn’t Anne I...I almost lost it."
"I know." She frowned "I wonder why she lied to you then" She grinned "I guess we’ll have to find out huh?"
"Oh no" Ethan said "I’d know that grin anywhere what are you planning?"
"Nothing" Lily said "I’m just gonna get in touch with an old friend who happens to know how to gather information"
"Max?" I asked rolling my eyes. Max was one of Lily’s close friends he was the first one to help her design her own bullet and he’s the perfect computer hacker he can get any information you could ask for
"Yup" she picked up her phone and grinned. I glanced at Ethan and he just smirked at his mate and shook his head with a smile on his face. I could see how much he loved her just from that look.
"Hey Max" Lily said walking away from us "I need a favor" She walked out of the room leaving me and Ethan alone. Ethan glared at me
