Alpha of the Shadows (Lucianna) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

My thoughts halted when the door suddenly open wide and Jacob was standing outside, holding it for me.

Did he just used his inhuman speed just to open the car door?

I looked up to his face and he was not meeting my eyes, he was looking somewhere, anywhere, but not to me.

He looked annoyed and my lips are still parted from being shock.

“What are you waiting for?” he said, rolling his eyes and looking at me. “Get out of the damned car.”

I pouted from how he sounded rude, hoping out of the car quickly. And here I was thinking that he looked cute and sweet for what he did.

“I need to go back to the Hall. I will just show you to your room.” he said as he closed the car door and started walking to the house.

“You mean, ‘our’ room, right?” I asked without thinking as I followed him.

I immediately realized what I just said when Jacob paused, stopped walking and turned to look at me with squinted eyes.

My eyes were wide and I couldn’t blink as I try to ease the atmosphere by laughing. And my fucking laugh came out awkwardly.

Damn it!

He just looked at me with a frown and I prayed hard to melt right here, right now!

I cleared my throat and looked away from his eyes, trying to distract him. “Oh! What a beautiful house!” I said, taking a step closer to the entrance. “It’s not that big, I won’t have a hard time cleaning thi-”

My body felt like flying and everything happened so quickly. Jacob was grabbing my waist with both of his hands, he pulled me up and my feet left the ground! As if I weigh like a feather, he held me until we reached the inside of his house.

All of his move was fast that I didn’t had the time to blink!

The sole of the heels I was wearing touched on the marbled floor the same time the door shut loudly.

Jacob pushed me hard to the closed door and I thought my back will slam hard on the hard wood but his arms were snaked on my back,

enough for support.

We were so close to each other that my breathe hitched. The warmth of his body immediately invaded mine, my chest flat on his, and I groaned when he pushed himself even closer to my body.

Like he wanted to be too close that even a thread wouldn’t slid between us.

Chapter 9

I was confused by why he acted this way but all I could think of was how my heart beat loudly as my core reacted from our position.

“Wha-”

My words were cut and I jumped when his other arm slammed on the door, just beside my head. His face was so close, too close to mine.

I couldn’t breathe. Damn, our closeness was enough to stop me from breathing but the way he looked at me with those eyes, made it

harder.

“I don’t want you.” he growled inwardly as he said those words in a rough voice.

My eyes widened and I felt something stingy in my chest–like hundreds of needles were poking in my heart.

He doesn’t want me?

Why?

“Why?” I voiced out that question in my head.

Jacob growled again, grinding his body closer to me, and I felt like I was flattened as I was grounded between him and the door.

“I don’t want you. I fucking don’t want you.”

My lips was trembling as it parted, ready to ask, ready to say a word, but no voice came out of my mouth.

All I want was a mate.

All I want was a family.

So why am I hearing him say this? Rejection was not an option to the mate bond, but it still hurts to think that my fated one were saying

these things.

I’m dying!!! my wolf crawled and cried inside me. I want to crawl and cry, too, but I was out of my mind right now.

“I don’t–” Jacob didn’t continue his words and his next move made my eyes pop out of its socket!

“Mmft!”

His lips slammed on mine in a sudden, claiming my lips for a rough kiss!

Jacob was kissing me! My mate was fucking kissing me in a hard way but what I felt was the electrifying sensation that comes to me the moment his lips touched mine!

I moaned when his tongue found its way inside my mouth and I heard Jacob groaned loudly, pushing himself closer to me!
