#Chapter 69: Mixed Emotions

I hear Ryan pass by my door. Or rather pause outside of it. I know I’m paranoid, but I feel like I have a good reason to be. I know werewolves have a crazy sense of smell and that Ryan can probably tell where I am. Maybe even knew I was in the hall just a few seconds ago.

I wait several minutes before I crack the door open. The hall is dark and empty; I don’t see any lights streaming out from under doors.

I creep back to the living room, quiet as I can, and peek around the doorway.

Alex is lying on the couch wide awake, staring up at the ceiling.

“Hey,” I whisper.

His head snaps toward the door.

“Goodnight.”

Alex sits up. “Come here,” he whispers back.

I walk over to the couch and sit on the spot Alex vacated when he sat up.

I keep my voice low so no one can hear me. “Are you okay now?”

“I do feel better. I don’t know what that was about.”

“I heard Ryan,” I admit. It’s time to stop ignoring the topic. “It isss Rita? Your mate?”

Now, this question is two–fold because I already know it’s Rita. I want Alex to come out and confirm it, which he hasn’t done. I also need to know what he was sating about me.

Alex looks shocked. “To be honest, I don’t know. I feel something around you, too.”

“Me?”

“I mean, it was intense yesterday…when I saw her. But since then, I don’t know what my body is feeling. It’s so confusing.”

“But me?”

“Yeah…I think.” He sighs. “Hell, I don’t know.”

I don’t say anything because…what can I say?

“Will you just lay with me for a bit?”

“Of course.”

Alex slides back down, on his side, and pulls me toward him. He wraps his arms around me, and I can feel his warmth. I can feel his sold mass at my back as we spoon.

I could stay here forever.

While we lie cuddling, I think about everything that’s happened in the past twenty–four hours. Alex to loves me that he may even have a mate attraction to me. That would explain why my every cell wants to touch him when he’s nearby. I don’t know if this is what lust feels like, but, if so, then I’m overly responsive to it!

But how would he even mate with me? I mean, is his wolf attracted to me? Can that happen when I’m not a werewolf? From what little I know, werewolves are only fated to mate with other werewolves, which only makes

sense.

Is it possible Alex could be confusing his emotional feelings for me with the physical attraction he’s experiencing toward Rita? Maybe now that he’s found her, his body won rest until the wolf inside is satisfied. Isn’t that how Rita put it?

I need to be careful with that line of thought. My body is humming in sync with his. It wants him to calm the chaos, to put it at rest. Now I can’t trust my own flesh any more than I can trust my own heart.

Or my own mind. Surely, he didn’t mean what he hitted at earlier: I can’t be a potential mate.

I must have heard wrong.

I don’t know what’s going on with me, but something is definitely wrong

I’ve never known pain like that before, and I really don’t know what brought it on. Is it being here, or maybe my body’s response to all the crazy shit I’m dealing with?
