บททั้งหมดของ IN BED WITH THE CHOSEN ONE: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The shorts I decided to wear were similarly way too close to the colour of Alex's eyes. I frowned and pulled them on my legs, reminding myself I was just overthinking things. I wondered what top I'll wear and a brilliant idea came into my mind. I put on matching socks and sneakers, and opened the door to my room. Looking down the empty hallways, I darted quickly to Alex's room. I pushed the door, praying the hinges made no sounds as I sliooed inside the room. It smelt heavily like him. Cinnamon, sugar and man. Way too much testerone. I opened his wardrobe and saw my target. A huge liming of black T-shirts and I grabbed one from the hanger. It went down, passing the length of the shorts so I stuck the back into my sports bra and left the front completely covered. Afterwards, I stood in front of his mirror, pleased with my results. Next to his boots, Alex has a drawer and when I opened it, it was different keys stored in little spaces to separate them. Neat and conviently saving me

Alex's POV“How far have we gone?” I ask George. “We're in the middle of the lands now, where they call the whispering harrows.”It had been six day, every night I shifted and announced my presence in the Lucid lands, a sign of peace. The alpha ignored me.He didn't come out, didn't send an emissary. Straight up no answers. This part wasn't a safe place for people that are not familiar and we knew first hand. A spider bite had killed one of us already, slowing is down for a full day.“Does he want me to fight him?” I ask, talking really to myself. My pack members are exhausted, the heave sun and rains making them lethargic.“Maybe you should. I don't know why that's not your first instinct.” Previously, I would have just hunted them out. I was almost always the most dominant wolf wherever I went. This time though, I wanted to try another tatic. My aim wasn't dominance, it was a treaty.“I'll make a call tonight again. If no response, we'll homoir his wishes and go away. Hopefully Yo

Clarissa POV “Alex and the pack have been gone for a week now, do you think you can contact them?” A girl was asking Cassie. I came down to have dinner and I hoped my friends will be there. None of them was but I couldn't resist the scent of meat so I decided to just suck it up up yet, although Donae kept reassuring me she was fine and responding to treatment, the fact she had not opened her eyes yet still bothered me. The triplets were in some trance when I walked in. The held hands, eyes closed and I was tempted to disturb their trance. “Clarissa, child. I wanted to see you.” The shaman looked good, she put her hair in some type of braids and it made her look like Donae, with her own runes dull on her skin. “Alex has connected with the Brown wolves clan,” she informed me. “How do you know, mother?” I said, cutting another piece of meat and putting it in my mouth. That made her frown. “I have told you not to eat here child. Also, Sukihana sent me a message.” “Who's that

EIGHTClarissa’s POVThe days went by slowly. All I did was train, train harder. I went to see my mum.a few times.but she still wasn't talking to me.Daia was relentless in her combat skills, and I was improving daily.I missed the Alpha. It made me hiss to even think so, but I guess what I missed the most was our banter. The back and forth. The feel of his lips on my skin, his rough hands pressed against my body, pulling me tight against him. I missed his fingers inside my body.“How long will they be gone?”I whined. “Girl please. You're acting like you're in heat.”Daia replied to me. We were sat at the edge of the cliff, after our daily run.I hadn't shifted or spoken to my wolf in a while, but I could feel her asleep in me. Sometimes it felt very surreal, to be able to be aware of a beast inside of you, hear it's heart breat—in perfect tandem with yours. “They'll be back soon. Alex is probably having to convince the Alpha there.”“Daia” a shout came from the bottom of the cliff. “

Alex POVWhere was I?My head hurts badly. Like I had been knocked hard on a floor multiple times. Or punched, rapidly.Where the fuck was I?It smelt like smoke and ashes. Who burnt down the village?My hands were tied behind my back. It was a strong knot. Someone moved close to me and I held my breath. They didn't need to know I was awake.“The Alpha fell into the trap easily. Yomen would be pleased,”said a voice.“You did well,” another voice I recognized to be the witch said. “What will you do with him?” the first voice asked.“None of your business. You've shown your allegiance to Yomen. Your village will be spared.” the witch replied. I heard grunts come from the other party and then silence again. I had to think fast. I struggled against the bonds, noticing the rope had silver twines. That would scar but it didn't seem enough to cut it off.“Do you think he's awake?” a woman asks the witch. “He shouldn't be,” came her reply. Then I heard her come closer to me.I counted deepl
