“And here is your room. You’re welcome to stay as long as you want.”
It was even better than the room she had with the vampires. It had the same layout, but everything seemed more...luxurious. The sheets were made from a silkier material, the walls had a more welcoming appearance because of the murals of fields that covered them. I stood in awe for a moment until Cian’s voice made me jump.
“Sorry. I didn’t notice you were in a daze. I was saying that if you’re hungry the kitchen is always open. You do remember how to get there, don’t you?”
Sure, along with the other ten thousand locations we passed by on the way here...
I shook my head bashfully. I really didn’t want to get lost in a house full of werewolves, even if they felt comfortable around me, I was still a little wary of meeting something like the thing that I had seen two nights ago.
Cian chuckled and wove his arm around my waist again. “It’s okay. I still get lost around this place. If I had my way I would live in a smaller place.”
“But I thought you were their leader...” I slapped my hand over my mouth and stopped walking along with Cian.
Oh sh*t...I wasn’t supposed to know that...oh sh*t!!!
I shook as I stared at Cian’s profile. When I had stopped walking he had taken a half step in front of me. I couldn’t see his eyes. Only a diagonal view of the backside of his right side. Hey, you kinda remember the details of the moment when you almost piss your pants in fear.
I had just spilled some information that Nate had fed me. I was supposed to be the girl who was ditched at a place my friend had told me to go to. I was supposed to be naive...Now I was waiting for the reaction of the effing leader of the werewolves who could rip my head off if he wanted to.
“How did you know that?” he asked in a hushed tone. I started to shake and willed myself to stay on my feet, for my knees not to give out. Without wanting them, tears of terror fell from my eyes.
I took my hand away from my mouth and stared, wide-eyed at the floor. My hand balled up and stayed near my chin, my other hand wrapped itself around my waist as I tried to make myself feel safer.
“Th-the w-way the oth-ers acted wh-when we went on-onto the dance floor. I just thought– If I’m n-ot supposed to know I-I won’t tell anyone. I swear...” I hiccuped through the sobs that were wracking my body. I couldn’t stop. I was terrified. I was going to die, I knew it. This was it. Who do I have to say good-bye to. No one knew where I was and I doubt if they even cared. So- good-bye car? God, I'm pathetic.
I closed my eyes, squeezing the tears out and blocking out my vision.
I stood there for a minute, two minutes– was he deciding on a torture that was perfect for me. Oh, God, now I'm imagining it. My body shook harder. Three minutes, four...Is he playing with me, enjoying my terror? Five minutes, six. What the hell? I opened one eye and looked up at Cian.
He was staring at me with utter surprise on his face. My eyes were probably puffy and red, my make-up probably streaked with tears, but no mascara streaks.
Gotta love the water-proof stuff...
His hand slowly raised and came closer to my face. I flinched and took a step back, tripping over my own feet.
Crap, I broke my a** again...
Not that it mattered... He crouched down and I squeezed my eyes shut again. Then I felt his hand cup my face, his thumb wiped away the tears that continued to fall. My eyes opened in surprise and I stared into a pair of sad grey eyes in front of me.
Cian was kneeling before me, his eyes full of hurt and sadness. He moved his hand from my cheek to the back of my head the other pulled my body to his. His hand gently guided my head to his chest as he embraced me.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for my tone to come out that way. I just– I’m not used to people figuring it out so soon. I don’t like the way they treat me when they know that I am the leader...”
“I just want you to think of me as just another guy.” his grip around my waist tightened as he left no space between us. He sounded so...depressed...my heart felt like it would burst...
I guess Nate could be right about being in a relationship with this guy. He already made me feel so deeply for him...
Don’t get too attached...
I almost jumped at the sound of Nate’s voice. I had almost forgot that I was on a mission to destroy these people. It was just so confusing at that particular moment. ‘Cause you know how it is when you have a hot werewolf pack leader holding you, making you feel a whole bunch of butterflies, while in the back of your mind you’re screaming at yourself that this is just supposed to be an act. No? Well, I guess I’m the only one then...
I brought my thoughts back the guy holding me and wrapped my arms around him. It was like we fit like puzzle pieces, sappy I know, but that was my thought at the moment and little did I know that, that was what Cian was thinking too.
We stayed like that until my tears dried, then he pulled back and I didn’t resist the urge stoke his face with the back of my hand. He closed his eyes and shuttered making me giggle. He smiled and grabbed my hand.
His forehead leaned on mine as we fell into laughter. Footsteps approached us and Cian scooped me into his arms walking quickly down the hall to my room.
“It wouldn’t be very good for anyone to see me near a crying girl. It just isn’t a good scene for me to be at.”
I laughed a little, “Obviously,”
He looked down at me, a smile on his lips. “Well, you seem to be fairing well for someone who had been scared to death a few minutes ago.”
“Well, that was before the leader of the werewolves had gotten on his knees and apologized very sincerely...” I added thoughtfully. He set me down outside my room and just stood before me. I shifted uneasily, not sure what to do. I mean, what is a girl to do? A super hot werewolf king was obviously flirting with me, a normal, plain-Jane girl who had just been introduced to the world of the night 48 hours ago. Would you know what to do? ...Exactly.
But he made the first move when he placed his hand under my chin and tilted my head up to face his. Almost agonizingly slow, he inched closer before he crashed his lips onto mine. I gasped before kissing back and feeling him smile into the kiss then he broke it off slowly too.
Cian then smiled at me and turned around, heading down the hallway, leaving me standing there with my heart beating against my ribs.
