Chapter 138 Burn

• Adea
• I hear my mates knuckles crack across the table in front of me, but don’t show signs of hearing. Still, I show no reaction, I don’t so much as breathe until he drops his hand from my face to his side. He turns to the conversation at hand an I take in a slow steadying breath. I refuse to show how much I don’t want to do that. I don’t think I could stomach him seeing that in me. I don’t want him to know, but now that he’s heard what Alpha said, I know he does.
• I refuse to hide from him, or show him that I’m scared. I look at him, our eyes lock as we stare at each other. The promise there is clear and the letter feels as if it is burning a hole in my pocket. My mate stares at me so intensely, he doesn’t blink, doesn’t look away. I feel as if all of the air has been sucked out of the room. It’s replaced with a passion I haven’t felt in so long, unsaid words, gentle kisses and electricity. Lots of electricity. It feels as if the current whips through the air. It burns so hot, I swear it could burn the world to the ground.
