Broken but still Alive novel Chapter 3

Chapter3

Adrain my other roommate was…..very private. His dark looks portrayed him as a bad boy and well he pulled it off really well but in a scary way. I admit I was scared he would kill me in my sleep the first week I lived here. I knew Adrain was a wolf though; he had no clue I was one too. I figured that was why he was so secretive. I never really got any alone time with him since Andy was always near

so I never was able to explain I was like him.

Truthfully I was terrified of my 18 birthday. I didn’t want to have my first shift alone. I had always planned to have Luke help me but……well you know. God just seeing him tonight made me heart ache. He looked so different; at least I knew he was alive. I felt a sob escape my lips. Had I really not been worth it to stay behind? Had he even thought about maybe bringing me with him?

I’d been giving him a lap dance for god sake! He must think I’m a slut. It didn’t matter I probably wouldn’t ever see him again. He was probably going to disown me now anyways. I gasped startled when I felt someone’s hand on my arm. I looked up to see Adrain’s concerned face. It was really weird seeing another emotion on his face instead of his trademark scowl.

“Emma what’s wrong? He asked sitting down beside me making the couch dip. Doing a very unEmma move I buried my face in his chest and cried like a whiny baby letting his warmth comfort me. After I finally calmed down I pulled away red faced. “I’m sorry you had to deal with that,” I whispered embarrassed. Great now he was going to act even weirder around me.

He smirked at me and ruffled my hair. “Don’t worry about it short stuff. You want to talk about it?” I blushed again and quickly shook my head “No….it’s nothing I can’t handle.” I mumbled mortified. He frowned. “I know I don’t act like it, but I care about you and well you can come to me with anything alright?” He said awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. “Your like a little sister to me.”

His face was slightly pink shocking me to the core. Adrain hadn’t spoken more than a sentence to me since I moved in and now he was blushing? Calling me his little sister?

Not knowing what to say I nodded “thank you.” I whispered. He smiled and stood up, but I grasped his arm halting him. “I wanted to ask you something.” He sat back down frowning slightly, his guard back up. “I wanted you to know that I know you’re a werewolf,” I started, but gasped as he suddenly stood up his eyes black. “Did the hunters send you?” he growled claws springing from his fingers as he digged them into my arm. I shook my head quickly not wanting to set his wolf off. “No! I’m a wolf too!”
