Chapter 37
I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I had been holding.
“What the hell was that?” I demanded when my heart rate slowed down, he raised an eyebrow since I raised my voice,
“Lower you’re voice” he warned a small amount of alpha coating his voice, I was mad he used that demanding tone with me, but I didn’t push him.
I took a deep breath and gritted my teeth “What was that?” I asked my soft tone forced.
“I’m tired of killing people because they don’t understand what’s mine, is mine, so now everyone knows” he said proudly.
“You could’ve told me, warned me, given me a small warning” I said, he took in a deep breath.
“I could have, you’re right” he answered almost daring me to mutter something about him being an
asshole under my breath, I looked up at him and he was already looking down at me. His forehead had
wrinkles in it, and I didn’t like the small pout that played on his lips. He turned on his heels and left, I stared in surprise for a minute before running to catch up with him.
“Do I get the pleasure of knowing where you’re going?” I asked grabbing onto his arm to stop him, his
muscles flexed under my fingertips, and a shock went up my arm, I jerked my hand back in surprise muttering a ‘sorry‘ for touching him.
“Why do you apologize every time you touch me?” he asked me turning around.
“I-” I paused realizing I didn’t have an answer
“You tense or push me away, I do it on impulse, I just thought you didn’t like people touching you” I explained looking at the ground.
“I don’t” he said in a clipped tone.
“Oh” was all I said, it was silent for a minute, it wasn’t awkward mostly because I spent the small moment of silence thinking over what I had just been told.
“I’m going to my office” he said motioning for me to follow, I let him lead me down the hallway, I looked at his hand in front of me, I felt my hand itch with the urge to reach out and take his. I wondered how he would react.
He stopped, causing me to almost run into his back, and let out some curse words,he stiffened, dropping his hand gently pushing me behind him, until Michael turned the corner and came into view. I peeked

Chapter 47,
out from behind Dez’s large broad back. Michael smiled when he saw me, I grinned back.
Dez’s low growl vibrated through my chest, and he gripped my waist pushing me further behind him. Michael stopped a good distance away, probably because of me, it was completely silent for a little while. and I noticed Dez’s back muscles tense, and then the veins in his arms did. I sighed knowing something had probably happened.
Dez turned around taking my hand dragging me down the hallway and then to his office. He sat me in my chair and then left as my guards walked in. He didn’t come back, eventually I was escorted back to his house, I took a shower and went to the couch. I tossed and turned all night, I didn’t get a wink of sleep. Eventually I gave up and just laid there.
It wasn’t until the morning did I start to worry. I checked all over the house, before realizing Dez hadn’t come home at all last night. I knew it was stupid to worry about him. Mostly because I doubt he gave me a second of a thought at any time during the time he was gone. Also I had learned very well my short time here that Dez could take care of himself, and pretty much enjoyed killing anything that moderately pissed him off. But I still worried.
“Brewer where’s Dez?” I asked finding him in kitchen.
“He temporarily left the territory”
“When’s he coming back?” I questioned.
“I don’t know Luna” I frowned, my worry increased by the minute, I moped around the house all day just sitting and drowning myself in thoughts.
I was so tired, I felt exhausted but I couldn’t sleep, plus I was freezing cold I felt so empty and useless.
I laid on the couch curling under a blanket. I hadn’t eaten, or slept, my mind was constantly making up scenarios in which I would never see Dez again. Eventually it started getting dark, I went to Dez’s room, I pulled on one of the shirts from his dirty hamper, I laid down in his bed and cuddled one of his pillows snuggling under is covers.
I couldn’t sleep, but I felt a little better with his scent. I curled into a ball and tried to sleep. Of course I didn’t sleep any, the fact I didn’t know where he was or what he was doing bothered me. The only thing that bothered me more than that was the realization that I didn’t actually have to know because Dez and I we weren’t together.
We were mates. Not by choice. And Dez seemed miserable every second of it.
He could be doing something dangerous, he could be injured right now. These thoughts made me shift uncomfortably. Finally I gave up like I did the night before and sat up seeing one of my guards standing in the doorway.
