Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 291

“GRAPES? OH, THE GRAPES My wolf was startled, then let out a mournful howl. “HELP! I HATE GRAPES!”

I frantically went to open the door.

Halfway there, I realized I was only wearing a camisole and quickly went back to put on a shirt. Running back and forth, combined with anxiety, I was breathless and sweating by the time I opened the door.

“Were you jogging? Xander asked, raising an eyebrow a my sweaty state.

Yeah, jogging, I said smoothly. This is a good start for a delicate omega, right?.”

Then, my eyes fell on the bag in his hand. I bent down to take it. “Give me the grapes. Thank you for bringing them, Mr. Shaw. You can go back now.”

Kander:…

His wolf dramatically rolled his eyes, ‘REALLY? AGAIN?”

My hand was about to touch the bag when he switched hands, leaving me hanging. “Is this how Secretary Wells treats someone who went to the trouble of delivering grapes?”

choked.

That remark prevented me from sending him away.

Please come in,” I stepped aside, politely inviting him inside.

Kander strolled in, handing me the grapes. “Liam said they taste better chilled.”

My wolf was afraid of grapes,”… KEEP THOSE DELICIOUS GRAPES FOR YOURSELVES! PLEASE!”

smiled, said okay, took the bag, and gestured for him to sit down before heading to the kitchen.

Once inside, my smile vanished, replaced by panic.

‘DON’T PANIC, DON’T PANIC, JUST TREAT HIM AS A NORMAL FRIEND VISITING.” My wolf soothed me.

But he’s my boss, and we’ve had several… intimate encounters! Another long night… I couldn’t help but argue with my

wolf.

A male fox bringing sour grapes to a single woman’s door… a woman whose estrogen levels were soaring…

My hand holding the bag was clammy and hot.

Just like my heart.

Five minutes later.

I brought out a glass of water with ice cubes and mint leaves.

“Mr. Shaw, some water I placed it in front of him.

Xander looked at the mint iced water.”…Secretary Wells, I’m not that hot.”

My wolf was losing it, ‘JUST DRINK IT ALREADY, NO MORE WHINING!”

On the surface, I smiled gently.”Shall I get you a hot drink instead?”

“No, this will do.”

He waved his hand, noticing I was still standing. “Aren’t you going to sit?”

I sat down.

I only had a sofa and a recliner, and the recliner was on the balcony.

Kander seemed to prefer the center, and wherever I sat-left or right-I was close… I never expected this situation.

I started inaking conversation.

We talked about the recent weather, seasonal fruits, delved into the topic of Liam’s sour grapes, analyzing them from a culinary >erspective, a health perspective, even an artistic one…

Even my high school English teacher would be impressed.

By the end, my throat was sore.

Kander leisurely sipped his mint iced water.

He smiled without speaking, his deep eyes fixed on me, listening intently, occasionally responding with a word or two.

He was holding back the aura of a future alpha. I couldn’t sense any of that dominant vibe coming off him at all.

seemed relaxed and chatty, but inside my wolf was close to tears, “WHEN IS HE GOING TO LEAVE?! I CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!”

Fifi.”

le suddenly called me, his voice soft and tender.

My voice trailed off.

felt like an electric shock, a tingling sensation, as if the softest feather brushed against my already sensitive and agitated nerves. HE… HE CALLED ME WHAT?! FIFI?!” My wolf’s legs were aching, I was almost drowning in his gentle embrace.

Cander handed me his water glass, leaning closer, his lips near mine, his voice even more magnetic and alluring, “You must be hirsty after all that talking. Here, drink some water.”

held my breath. He had drunk from this glass…

1 the quiet air, ambiguity crept in, invading like a hallucinogenic drug.
