Chapter 34: Unwrap My Heart

Adeline’s POV

I spent the rest of that day reliving the moment of Zale’s lips pressed to my hand in front of everyone. I felt the jealous heat and slight childishness behind his action. Did he know that he was toying with my emotions? One day hot, next day cold. One day he needs me and the next, pretending he doesn’t even know me.

It was enough to drive any woman mad.

But that kiss, soft, hot, tender all at once for all it may have looked like a light flirtation from the alpha, Adeline knew the possessive intentions in the message between them. I was his no matter where we were.

When I thought about it later that night while I lay next to him all but drained as he and his wolf slept peacefully, I pressed my lips to the back of my hand and fell asleep wanting and wishing for so much more.

“No offense, but your friend really scares me.”

I laughed as we exited the building after my class and Deluna had waved us off.
