Chapter 0153
I know my mind has had me doubting myself, with how my head has been all over the place, but there is no denying it. My suspicions were right. My logic had led me to the right thoughts. It had just been my doubts making me question it all. It had to be him. I clench my fist in anger, and while I can feel Zion’s temper rippling, his voice is suddenly there within my mind. Take her to bed. She may not forgive you for looking at her phone.’
And I realize he is right. This was compromising her privacy. I dropped the keys and her phone into the pocket of my trousers. Leaning forward to scoop her from where she is sitting, and she still doesn’t stir. She slipped slightly in my grip, as I adjusted my arm position, to allow her to lean against me, and she snuggled her head in against my chest, still not waking. She must be tired.
I looked down at her bag on the floor and her paperwork, and decided I would come back to collect it for her once I had her settled in her room. I held her close to me, finding the warmth of her body oddly comforting, and Zion had suddenly quietened. He felt oddly content, which I find oddly unsettling. He seemed to like the company of this she-wolf. He liked having her close. Yet, he went through times of liking his own space like I did…
I walked out of the library, and through the halls of the packhouse with Bailey within my arms. She was still sleeping soundly, her head resting comfortably against my chest, as I looked down to check on her with a small smile.
Suddenly she seemed to snuggle in a little deeper into my embrace, a smile upon her face, before a small purring noise hit my ears. I paused momentarily as we reached the bottom of the stairway.
‘Did she just purr?’ Zion asked me incredulously.
My heart was pounding at the thought. ‘Well, I would assume that would be her wolf, but I think so. I am pretty certain that is what it sounded like.’ I told him in shock. Did that mean her wolf liked my company?
Out of the blue, Bailey shifted again in my arms, and her big brown eyes were now looking up at me. What are you doing? she demanded. And, I have to say she did not sound too impressed with me…
I felt like I was frozen. As I looked down at her. “Erm…
Why are you carrying me? she asked, her voice a little shaky. Can you put me down please, Asher?
I gently placed her upon her feet,
instantly missing the warmth of her body against mine. While Bailey was now looking up at me, both hands upon her hips, looking awfully
irritated. ‘I think we angered the little bad wolf in her.’ Zion said with a chuckle.
“Erm…….” I began, my palms suddenly sweaty. Look, Bailey…
She stood staring me out, her eyebrows raised like she was challenging me. I don’t think she was too impressed with me right now… Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findnøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
You had fallen asleep in the library. I tried waking you, and you wouldn’t. I didn’t want you waking in pain, so I thought it would be better to carry you to your room. I explained, and I momentarily saw her face soften a little, as her eyes dropped to the floor guiltily. Maybe she felt bad for shouting at me now she could see I had good intentions…
Then her eyes darted back to mine looking fiery again. And how the hell did you plan to get me to bed? Or into my room? she demanded, her voice angry once more.
Zion was chuckling. ‘Good luck.’ He told me.
‘What do I say?’ I asked my wolf, with no clue why I had asked for his help.
‘Kiss her. That will shut her up…’ he suggested. Pushing me forward.
