Three's A Crowd のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

~Akia~It was still dark outside when we left for the pack, but I didn’t want to wait too long. I want to spend as much time there as I can, and maybe Matt won’t cross my mind. The lack of communication between us had me tossing and turning all night.I love the little trips that I take with Esme from time to time. We enjoy blasting music and singing at the top of our lungs. Esme is a great friend whom I’m so glad to have met. It makes me miss Serena, but I know that I can’t reach out to her. I can’t let him find me.We pull in front of my family’s home in the late morning to find my aunt and uncle standing outside, waiting for us. I rush out of the car and am engulfed in their arms. I really needed this, and I didn’t even know it. “We are so glad to see you, babygirl. Why don’t you come inside and eat some food, hmm?” My uncle lets me go and walks to the car to get our bags. Esme and I follow Auntie Kyla into the house.The familiar scent of the home wraps around me, making me smile.

~Unknown/Adolf~Seriously?! Why would you give her my name and not yours?You know why! We can have this discussion later. I block Adolf and focus on my little flower. I didn’t give her my name yet, but I will at some point.The fact of the matter is that I don’t know how much she knows, so I have to be careful. I need to get her to accept me and our bond before she finds out everything about me. It will take time, but I’m not worried about that.I take in her features, so much more mature now that she’s older. Her hair is cute, though I prefer a natural look as opposed to braids. I will make sure she takes them out, and I will pay to get her hair styled. She has pierced ears, but she needs better earrings. Perhaps I should pick her up some diamond studs. I will take her to get some lashes. I like them long, and they will go with her natural hair.She’s gorgeous no matter what, so these will just be little tweaks, nothing major. I watched her walk in, and I love her shape. I don’t lov

~Unknown/Adolf~We continue the night, sampling all of the food I brought for us. We make small talk, getting to know each other. The truth is that I already know a lot about her, but she can’t know that yet. I’m being sure to watch what I say about myself, not wanting too much information to spill.The moon grows in the sky as she settles against me. My arm is wrapped around her, pulling her tighter into my body. Let’s mark her now. We need to tie her to us. And we will, Adolf. I don’t plan on letting her go. I cut the link and focus on the beauty in my arms.I’ve envisioned this moment for so many years. Though I’ve been trying to figure out how to get us here, I never really thought through how it would feel to actually experience this. My emotions are all over the place, and I’m having trouble focusing on one over another.I want to do and say everything all at once, but I know that I have to take my time with this. “What are you thinking?” I look down at the top of her head and s

~Apollo~I lift the bar once more, pushing myself to finish this set. My muscles are screaming at me, begging me to be finished. I’m probably pushing myself too hard, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve been busy training hard, trying to get my body right.Werewolves are strong creatures, naturally fit. That doesn’t mean we don’t exercise and stay active. I’ve seen a few not-so-fit wolves, believe it or not. They really stick out like a sore thumb.I bring the bar down, ignoring the tremor in my arms. I place the bar on the rack and let my arms fall to the sides. “Good set, though, maybe you want to drop your weight about 10 pounds.” I look up, seeing his eyes on mine and shake my head.“Whatever. I had no trouble with that weight. I’ve just been training hard lately.”“Mmmhmm.” I sit up and lean over with my elbows on my knees. He tosses a towel at me, covering my head with it. I pull it down and over my face, wiping it dry. “Are you ready for school to start?” I shrug my shoulders.“What’s

We meet in the middle of campus with a few other people we know. The bar we are going to is pretty close, within walking distance. My stomach keeps clenching with the thought that Adolf is probably calling me, and my phone is in my room. I know that Esme made good points, and she’s right, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’m essentially ignoring my fated mate, and I have no idea what’s going to come of that. “Everything okay?” I look up into the concerned face of my best friend. I plaster a smile on my face, though I’m sure it looks fake.“Everything is fine. Let’s get going.” She wraps an arm around me and pulls me in close.“Everything will be okay, I swear.” I nod, and we follow the group to the bar.The building is fairly populated, although not fully occupied. There are people at the bar and many at the tables. The music is pumping, and there’s a horrible singer at the mic right now. I feel good being here, though I’m also feeling anxious.Esme made me leave my phone, and it’s
