18 Chapter 18

#Chapter 18 You're hurting me!

Alyson's POV

We returned back to the Starstream pack's territory. I was so pleased to see Donna again, but Ryan disappeared till later that night.

I wasn't sure how we would act now that we were back home after spending the night together, platonically. Especially with Donna around a lot.

Ryan returned to his cabin late. His clumsy big feet seemed to trip over a few items and crash around. I got out of my bed and crept into the main room.

The smelt of alcohol hit me first.

"You're drunk?" I said.

He grumbled.

I teased him, "You know, it's boring to drink alone. Next time, invite me to drink with you."

He turned very fast in my direction, also stepping back a bit to catch himself. I had never seen him like this. He came over to me, and before I could react further, one of his large hands came to my face. I expected gentleness, but gripped my head and pressed me firmly into his chest, a rather aggressive form of a hug.
