All Chapters of Awakening - Eve Of Eden: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

“Simon, this is…” I start to diffuse the situation, but Kaelin silences me with his growl.“No one you should be concerned with. And Eden is with me right now. We’re busy…she said so. Maybe you should leave.” Kaelin moves in front of me, letting go of my wrist and stepping in so he makes a barrier between us. Full-on aggression oozes from every pore, and I see Simon struggle not to recoil and run like the little bitch he usually is. Probably sensing that dark aura Kaelin wears at all times, and becoming a little intimidated by it. I forgot about the death air and frosty that come with Kaelin’s presence, as my body is now immune to it, and I no longer feel it.I have to admit, at this moment, I find it sexy.Normally, I’m the one to jump to Simon's defense in all scenarios. I've never had my homme jump in first and cause the drama before. All that straight back, strong, wide body, and bulky muscles blocking

“Stop dragging me.” I stumble for the third time and yank my wrist out of Kaelin's grasp. “You don’t even know where you’re going, and you’re walking the wrong way.” I manage to quick-step in front of him to cut off his direction, spin, and push both hands into his abdomen to get him to halt. Marching angrily and seemingly raging about Simon still, he gives me that familiar glaring frown and does actually stop walking, though.“So, point.” Short, snappy, very obviously simmering.“You said you didn’t do that anymore? He didn’t deserve that.” As much as Simon is a shithead, I wouldn’t want anyone to experience what I just witnessed. I have a right to be pissed, too.“So…. You have feelings for him then?” Kaelin only hears what he wants; tone taking a death dive, and he grows a tad scarier in mood and posture. I guess that’s why he’s acting like this

“I want you…I need you….. I just don’t know how to be what you need me to be. As a mate, with a pack…I don’t know if I can do it even if you’re the reason. It goes against everything inside of me…but…” Kaelin's raw words, the tremble in his voice, and the unguarded fear in his eyes tell me everything I need to know. He’s asking for time to see if he can adapt and make this work before he commits to me. He wants it, he just doesn’t know if he can do it. He can’t let me go as easily as he told himself he could.His cold manner, his weirdness now all make sense. He didn’t want me to know why he came here or see him struggling in case he couldn’t do it and left again. He didn’t want me to know I'm why he’s here. Or to give me f

I guess it comes from a passionate place of love for my sister and hatred for a pack that did that to Kaelin. Tearing up, emotional and angry, and unable to hold it all in as my mom's gentle touch pulls me back from the edge of the space we stand. I wasn't aware I had marched forward.  Toya pats me on the back and helps guide me between them, where both take my arms in theirs, and I jump with a voice behind me.“You were just a step before me, blowing my shit.” Aunt Meadow leans in and rubs my head, and I realize that behind us is half my family, standing back in the shadows and all present for this. It calms me down knowing they would never allow us to forget Eve this way and leave her there. They will always have our backs.“We weren’t saying that, Luna, ma'am.. Alpha. The pack is afraid. We apologize if that’s what it sounds like.” Some kind-hearted wolf tries to diffuse the heated energy, and I catch my dad sighing, eyes on

The absolute disrespect and bitch tone is nothing I have not encountered in my whole life. The veiled, subtle ‘you are less because you are not a wolf’ is coming through loud and clear.It stirs a little welt of insecurity in me, borne from years of these girls looking down their noses at me, and I’d be lying if it didn’t hit a tiny nerve. A little nudge that, after being alone all his life, maybe I was just convenient and the first girl not to run screaming from him. Maybe once he settles here, he might see or meet a femme that he likes more and realizes you really can’t fall in love that fast, though I did. I had a wealth of hommes here my whole life, and Kaelin just swept me off my feet without trying.“What are you asking?” Kaelin cuts in, sounding unfriendly and irritated, and pulls me back slightly. Nestling right behind my shoulder, so I end up leaning into him.“Nothing…she’s being a brazen hoe
