Her Brutal Alpha novel Chapter 73

Adrian and I sniggered while Blaine rolled his eyes. "Let's just hope she's not crazy." Liam added, but quickly moved before Lena could smack him again making us all laugh.

After dinner, Adrian told Blaine that they both needed to make a start on some paperwork and other documents that they had both been ignoring for the past few weeks.

The paperwork related to the prisoners we have and so they both left to complete the work in the pack prison office.

On the way, Blaine had dropped me off at Diego's house, which was literally a five minute walk from our home.

It was no longer awkward or uncomfortable with Blaine and Bryson, the wolves he attacked had survived and since they were willing to accept his apology, Blaine agreed to leave it as that.

It had been a while since I had chilled with Diego, Bryson and Tilly but I was happy to be able to be in their company and watch movies. It was keeping me occupied while Blaine was dealing with running our pack.

He had informed me that he would be home late and to go bed without him, he had shut out our mind link since he really needed to concentrate as I kept distracting him.

I could see it was getting dark outside, and I was beginning to feel shattered. I turned to look at the clock and it was already 10pm. I had been here for at least 3 hours.

Diego, Bryson and Tilly kept insisting on taking me home but I declined, I could literally see my home in the distance and they agreed that they would at least watch me walk home, I rolled my eyes but agreed.

I walked across the clearing, it was very dark out and the wind was fierce, blowing my hair into my face as I tucked it behind my ears.

I pulled my coat tighter across my body. To my left I could see our woodlands, it was strangely quiet compared to the normal Friday night as usually young wolves would be racing through the forest.

As I walked up the steps to my house, I noticed that all the lights were out, I hummed in question, and bit the bottom of my lip.

When I opened the front door, I put one foot in and looked around. It was eerily quiet and I felt uncomfortable but when I heard a creak upstairs, my worry washed away as I assumed Lena or Liam was here, but probably asleep.

I walked further in, shutting the door and turning on a small lamp that sat next to the front door. Hearing another creak, I frowned and looked in the direction of where the sound came from.
