Chapter 5. Adam And I

• •• • Eve Elite Edward's POV • ••
• The next day...
• "Eve Elite Edward!."
• Maryline shouts as she barges into my room and opens my window blinds as usual.
• The early morning sunrays as usual hit my face and I wake up groaning as I stretch. "I'm tired Maryline, I need to rest!."
• I'm not the early morning type. I hate waking up early in the morning. And you know I here when you open the curtains harshly like that.
• "Adams will soon be here... so.... you need to get ready!."
• She smiles not because she is pleased by Adams's coming. She simply smiles to camouflage her worries and to make me relax.
• However, that isn't what I'm observing. All I see is an excited mum ready to give out her daughter for marriage. Unfortunately for me, I don't share the same joy. I'm just disappointed in her. She doesn't even lift a finger to save me out of this marriage, she hasn't even asked my opinion, hasn't ask me what I want, getting the right questions from the wrong people hurts more.
• "Why the hell is he coming this early?. Whatever! I don't care! and I want to sleep!." I cry as I plug my head into my pillow yelling at the top of my voice.
• "Elite, get down of that bed!. You have a busy schedule today!. So... you ought to waste no time!."
• She jerks me out of bed, pulling me to the bathroom. She remains at the bathroom door till I finish bathing.
• It's not like she didn't attempt to bath me. She didn't bath me because I shoved her off. She doesn't realize that I have passed that age and that I'm growing. Any time I remind her, she is like "You will forever remain my little baby!." in Maryline's voice, I recall and it makes me chuckle under the shower.
• When I get out of the bathroom, she has already selected the dresses I'm to put on.
• "Juggins?!..."
• I exclaim as I find the dress on my bed.
• "Eve, be fast!." I hesitate...
• She picks the dresses from the bed and she begins to dress me up. "Maryline, I'm a grown-up!." I cry...
• "Beautiful!." she exclaims once she gets done and she drags me downstairs. We stop at the kitchen.
• "You need a heavy breakfast!." She murmurs.
• "Why a heavy breakfast?." I wonder.
• "Eve!!!..." she hits her hand on her face in dismay. "Have you forgotten that you are starting your training with Adams today?. That's why you need much energy!. "She tells while placing the breakfast in front of me.
• "Ourrrrrrr...!." I cry as she cut a piece of bread and she plugs it into my mouth. "Be fast!." she adds. I spontaneously chew it.
• Then she strolls around the kitchen helping the other maids and she adds...
• "After you train the tailor will pass by and take the measurements for your wedding gown!." She gaily proclaims. She isn't staring at me but I can feel the joy in her voice.
• "Like seriously!." This spoils my mood.
• "What about the tailor sowing me a gown for the mate festival?!." I furiously retort.
• "Eve, you know that's impossible, right?!. I understand your frustration but Adams will never agree with you going there!." She moves closer to me and she tries to hold my hands but I flinch. She struts by me with her sorry gaze.
• "Adams, Adams and always Adams. Just when the moon god delivers me from Edward's bondage... Now, Adams appears as the new master of my life!. OMG! When will all this be over?... I just wish he also dies like Edward!... Maybe then I will have some peace of mind!." I murmur with so much bitterness as I stroll round the big table found in the middle of the kitchen.
• "How dare you say such a thing?!. It's uncalled for!." she gets horrified by my thinking...
• "Who cares about what i think?... Anyway, Adams gave me permission to go!." I inform her.
• "That's great!." she gaily exclaims.
• "I just wanted you to know since you are so fun of him... Like I said his opinion doesn't matter... I'm going to the mate festival!. With or without his approval."
• With that said I leave brutally picking a piece of bread out with me.
• I walk out of the kitchen to the compound. To my greatest surprise, I find Adams strutting not far away from the kitchen. I first quiver when I perceive him.
• "Someone wants me dead!." I whisper. I act like I didn't hear him. He gently follows me as I keep ambling away.
• "Damn it!." I whimper deep down. He was just by the door and he overheard me. Now, he will think I'm a crazy person. Worse, what if he decides to kill me before I do!. No! he can't kill me before I make him the king...
• "Yea, if that's the price for my freedom!."
• I carelessly retort to his query.
• "So you seriously want me dead?."
• He move faster and stands in front of me obstructing my path. For a second I thought my words moved him. I was right, my words did move him but not as I imagined though. Instead, my bad side excites him. Weird...
• I stand frozen and every part of me trembles as he fixes his terrifying gaze on me. I bend my face down and I stay speechless.
• "Answer me!."
• He gently lift up my face to meet his. My gaze fall on his strong handsome face yet intimidating.
• My mind goes blank as I get lost in his glance and that weird urge in-between my laps start again. I didn't expect to be this vulnerable in his presence.
• We are gradually shifting towards each other without releasing it. My mouth gets wetter and my lips are quivering. He softly veers his hand to my face and he carefully shifts the hair covering the left side of my face behind my ears. He gently caresses my jaws as he withdraw his hands to my lips. Yeah, to my lips. I slightly twitch. I wasn't expecting that either.
• He rubs his finger on my lips, fluffily caressing my lower lips then my upper lips. Then he sends his fingers into my mouth and I promptly receive it like a baby receiving his mama's nipple. This renders me weak and heated like every part of me desires him in a way I can't even explain. I don't understand, why?...
• "Eve!." At the mention of my name I immediately get back to earth. Maryline kills the fun with her call.
• I shudder at the sound of her voice walking a step away from Adams. While he remains apathetic like nothing had happened.
• "Sorry, sir!. I didn't know you were around!."
• Maryline gets agitated when she sees Adams who is fixing her with his cold glance which slightly displaces some hints of anger. And she walks away.
• I move towards her but she discreetly waves me off. "It's fine Eve, we will discuss later!." as she attempt moving away, Adam whispers something into her ears...
• "I hate disturbance!." he whispers then she rapidly moves away.
• "What did you tell her!." I ask. "Never mind!." he tells me.
• Before I can offer another word, he speaks...
• "Are you ready for your training?."
• Adams avoids my question.
• I don't insist because I'm still overwhelmed with what just happened and I'm also worried Maryline might have seen it.
• "Yes!."
• I simply node at Adams.
• Then he takes me to the back of the house where people hardly trespass and it happens to be my favourite spot of the house. Where I use to hide, is this some sort of coincidence?? What's going on here?
• "Let's start with the basics!. You need to control your wolf if not it will control you!. You should be able to decide when to shift or not!. Also never forget to take off your clothes to keep them somewhere safe before shifting!. Okay?."
• "Yes!." I node.
• "Now, shift!."
• He keeps his stare on me. This embarrasses me.
• So all these cloths Maryline got me is useless since I have to destroy them or remove them at every transformation. Oouurr!... I don't think I have ever hated to be a wolf like I do now.
• Wait, so this means he's going to see me naked every time I shift back to my human form?. Shit!...
• "I'm waiting!."
• He insists with his emotionless glance fixed on me.
• "Sorry!. I can't!." I retort after all my thinking..
• "You have to!. You have to get over these reckless thought and focus!. Younger wolves like you shift naturally, why should you make an exception!." He exclaims. This embarrasses me because he is right. At this age, I can't shift whenever I want to. This is a disgrace... My dad was right!.
• "I can't!. I can't stand naked in front of you!."
• Words escape my mouth and I think it's the best excuse to stop this humiliation guise in the name of training.
• "That's part of being a wolf, little girl!. You have to get used to this!." He begins to undress himself.
• "What're you doing?." I howl as he takes his trousers down.
• "Here no one can see us!." He retorts.
• "Just watch, me do!." He instructs. He only leaves his pant on. Then he shifts into his wolf. The pant gashes pieces and falls on the ground!.
• "Aaawww...!."
• He groans and then he shifts back to human naked. He struts naked in front of me and he is not shy. Instead, I'm actually shy, for him. I cover my eyes with my hands. His body can slay...
• "This is part of being a wolf and you have to learn how to deal with it!." He opens his suitcase and removes a pant and he puts it on. He also puts on his trousers back but not his shirt. I guess he did all that to make me feel comfortable. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
• "Now it's your turn!. Let the wolf in you out!. Control it!."
• He wails prompting me to shift.
• "Okay!. Let me try!." I whisper to myself.
• "Don't try, do it!." He raises his voice as he over hears me.
• I try to shift in vain.
• "Canalise all your emotions. Be it happy or a sad one. Just use it!." He wanders around where he is struts. OMG! He's so sexy with his well carved abs and this doesn't ease things up...
• "I can't!." I cry as my eyes changes to blue then back to normal.
• "You are just a stupid little brat. No one loves you!." He utters as he slowly walks towards me.
• "Even your father didn't love you!. Yes, nobody loves you and nobody will ever love you!."
• "Stop it!." I beg. His words hurt... It revival's the sorrowful memories which were buried deep down in my mind and this makes me sob like a tot.
• "No one loves you this is why you are handed to me as a worthless token!. Something I never asked. Out of pity for your little poor soul I end up abiding."
• His words flew with all sincerity...
• "You're a bastard!. I don't know what you are trying to do right now but you have to stop it!." I scream at the top of my voice.
• Suddenly i shift into my wolf. My clothes get destroyed into pieces. "Aaawwww!!!." I groan. I ride into his direction to slash him. Most especially to shut his mouth.
• "Good!." he exclaims as I plunge on him and we both fall on the ground with me on to of him. "Now try to be calm!." he softly whispers into my ears. "Don't shift back!. Control your wolf, don't shift back!." he caresses my furs. We are still on the ground and I'm still on him.
• I try hard not to shift back into my human form as he says. I succeed only for a few seconds. After I shift back and I fall naked into his arms. He keeps caressing my hairs whispering "That wasn't bad!. But I think you can do better!."...
• "What was all that!." I really want to slap him right now but I'm too scared. I immediately get off him. I seize his shirt and I put it on.
• I step back. "Don't you ever speak to me in that manner again!." I try shifting back into my wolf again. The colour of my eyes change and my fangs carve out then I suddenly stop the shifting...
• "I'm done for today!."
