I’m Adriana Hidalgo, I’m not going to sit here and wallow. 1
Even if it’s hard to pretend to be ok.
I get up and walk to the window, scanning the grounds of the large mansion, gazing down as my heart skips a beat. I stare at the man who is running his fingers through his hair, clearly,he didn’t have a call to make…
He tenses and I see him turn sharply towards my window. It’s dark in here, but even if he can see me, I don’t care. I slowly back away from the window, not knowing what to do.
It’s a while later and there’s a knock on the door and I look up. I’ve already changed and I’m pacing the room, a thousand emotions coursing through me.
“Hey, I brought dinner…”
Valerie trails off as her eyes fall on the torn dress that I had tossed on the bed, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, did the dress- I mean I didn’t buy it for that reason, I just – I’m sorry. I didn’t mean you need to cover them. It was mo-“
“Hey, relax.”
I look at my arms, “No worries, I’m not offended. I don’t know why I did that. So, how are things going, what is our next step?”
She sits down, placing the tray down, and I know I’ve successfully shifted her attention from the dress when she sighs.
“Well, there’s a plan in place, but it’s not going to beeasy…”
She begins telling me about the details of the meeting and the plans they have. I nod slowly.
“I see…”
“Eat! It’s getting cold. I’m sorry you couldn’t join us today,”
she says, smiling apologetically.
I pick up my fork and shake my head, “Oh no, it’s fine. I wasn’t up to it. So, this is your brother’s pack. I haven’t met him yet, does he have a luna?”
I ask nonchalantly, biting into apotato.
“No…”
she says, forcing a smile.
I’m not one to pry but there’s a story there…
“But?”
“No buts.”
She smiles and I raise an eyebrow, feigning playful curiosity.
“There’s something there,”
I say, smiling at her as I drink my juice.
She looks down. “He… once was in love with someone and I don’t think he’s ready yet to settle down, although I wish he did. He isn’t getting any younger!”
It’s a conversation she doesn’t want to go into, and I don’t think I want to know either. Somehow it stings, and it really shouldn’t, I don’t even know him.
“I see… Umm, Valerie?”
“Yeah?”
“I know things are going to go down soon and I want to be out there helping with the mission. Think you could look after Ada?”
“Of course, she’s our pack member. But I don’t think anyone’s going to send you into the midst of danger. We will have a plan we’ll work on together.”
I nod. “Well then, I’m leaving tonight. I’ll stay with Anthony and Damien until I’m needed.”
Her face falls. “You heard the conversation,”
she states quietly.
1
She’s smart, that’s for sure.
“Maybe a little, but it’s no big deal. I don’t feel comfortable here anyway.”
I shrug, gulping down my juice. 2
She’s silent before she looks towards the door. “What are Zade’s thoughts on you leaving?”
“Do you really think he’ll stop me?”
I cock a brow, we both know Zade enough to know he doesn’t force people, anyone, to stay.
“No, I know, it’s just don’t take this personally. I can have you set up somewhere else if you prefer, I just-“
“I’m fine my dear Luna, but it’s probably my pride. I’m not staying where I’m not wanted, and I don’t want you saying anything to your brother. Please.”
She frowns, nodding, and we fall into silence. “I wanted to ask about your scars… how did you get them?”
she asks.
I smile wryly, looking at my arms. “In the caves when we were to attack, and Sebastian King brought them down. He had poison in the bomb. I protected my face but… Yeah, these are staying.”
“I’m so sorry…”
“Don’t be, I’m alive. That’s all that matters. Anyway, could you let Zade know I’m leaving? He knows how to contact me,”
I reply, knowing I’m being a little irrational, but I just need to get away from here.
“I will…”
she says. “Eat up.”
I force myself to eat the food, and although I know I won’t get such a good meal again in a while, I’m not able to stomach it. I make casual conversation with her until she takes thedishes and leaves.
The moment she’s gone, I begin grabbing my things; Zade has my laptop, although he had given me my bag, but I will get it from him some other time. Slipping on some boots, I slip out of my room and bid Ada goodbye for now.
I’ll see you soon Ad, soon.
I leave my room, walking down the hall when I stop and look back down the way I came, down the other side of the hall.
The urge to give him two cents of my mind tempts me and no matter how much I try to fight against it the urge only grows.
Turning, I follow his scent, thinking he can be a coward for all I care, but I am not going to make this easier for him. It’s not long before I sniff him out and try the handle on the door.
Locked. (2
I press my ear against the door, wondering if I should knock, but I can hear the faint soundof a shower running.
Frowning, I crouch down and open my bag, getting to work on the lock. Three minutes later,
I’m in.
Zipping up my bag, I shoulder it as I look towards the bathroom door. Glancing at the floor, I see the clothes he was wearing earlier tossed onto the chair.
Reaching for the bathroom door handle, I slowly turn it and this one opens, and I’m hit by adouse of steam.
There he is, butt-naked in the shower, and for a moment I find my gaze raking over the godin front of me.
At that very moment, he seems to realise he’s not alone and I don’t waste time. Dropping my bag, I yank open the glass door, making sure I don’t look down.
My heart is racing when I look into those sexy grey eyes, his wet hair falling over his forehead, looking too fucking hot.
Do not look down.
“I, Adriana Hidalgo, reject your sorry ass. I don’t do cowards,”
I say quietly, despite the harsh stab of pain in my chest.
There you go, do as you please. Even though I couldn’t bring myself to officially reject him, it’s enough to hurt.
He seems shocked but I guess he isn’t used to people barging in on him taking a shower.
“Listen-“
His eyes blaze green and I scoff, giving him a fake smirk as I turn, grabbing my bag and making a run for it out of the room.
I hear him curse, my heart thundering with every single step I take. Each step I take adds to the crushing pain in my chest…
