THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Emma dusted invincible dust particles from her crazy denim jeans as she stood upright from the bed, causing Maya to jerk up her head from its bowing position; she had been ruminating on a whole lot of events even as she sat down at the tail end of the bed, testing and trying, wanting to know her next step of action tomorrow.

“Where are you going?” She asked Emma, standing up too, wanting to be with the redhead at all times, to prevent a repeat of what had happened earlier, and to prevent incurring her cousin’s anger over her inability to protect his mate in his absence. Although she couldn’t believe that she, an Alpha’s daughter, was guarding a human, a mere human; she still didn’t want to risk putting the redhead in danger. Her heart wont even let her escape from it.

“Home.” Emma replied, staring at her like she had just asked a very weird question, as if, it should be obvious to her that she was going home.

“Oh, okay.” She stated, running her right fingers along her hair scalp. They had to wait for Derek first, and the other issue. She thought, biting her lips.

“Any problem with that?” Emma asked, standing at akimbo now, staring at her with curious eyes. She wondered what could be going on the human’s mind; perhaps questions about what their deal really was, the whole lot of people in the pack.

“Not really.” She finally replied, looking away from the human to the window. It was dark already. The time should be the same too; perhaps some minutes past seven. She thought.

“But you sounded like there was..” Emma mentioned, causing her to go back at exchanging glances with her again. She discovered that the human was staring at her with daring eyes, eyes daring her to deny the statement.

‘Too intelligent.’ She thought. ‘Too intelligent and observant.’

“There isn’t.” She stated. “Just that I thought that we should wait for Derek before going.” She added with a shrug, before taking up her biker jacket which she had kept on the cupboard some hours earlier when she had come into the room, while Emma still slept.

‘But if you insist.. Let’s go then.” She said, wearing the jacket and moving towards the entrance to the room.

“No, wait!” Emma beckoned her to stop, which she did. “You are right. I don’t think he would be happy to know that I left without letting him know.” She said, going back to the bed and sitting down on it.

Maya smiled as she heard Emma’s statement. It did the trick. She thought, knowing that there was no way she could tell her friend the real reason though, the truth, on why she was still here, and why she wouldn’t be going home tonight. The redhead really loved her cousin, despite the fact that she had been giving him attitudes since last night.

‘Oh my gender..’ she murmured with a smile, before turning away from the entrance, to face Emma who was sitting with her fingers crossed, on the bed.

“When do you think he would be done with the meeting with his father?” Emma asked, looking up at her friend who seemed to be smiling for no reason apparent to her. Earlier, she had thought that her new best friend had been planning to keep her here for the night for some weird reason she hadn’t been able to pinpoint out; but now, she was relieved that it was because of Derek.

Although she was still pissed at him, at them all, for lying to her, for not trusting her; she unabashedly wanted to see him again before leaving; not because of the normal courtesy or whatever, she just wanted to se him. To behold his face again, his wondrous lips and to hear his voice which was like music to her ears. As she let her thoughts wander, she thought on their last make out session in the room before the witch had come. She discovered that she wanted his lips again. His lips so…..

“Emma!” She heard Maya call, and instantly broke up with her vain thoughts.

‘I shouldn’t be thinking of that lying boyfriend like this now.’ She muttered, rubbing her forehead tiredly, a bit angry and frustrated with her heart. It just didn’t seem to listen to the reality in front of her. Despite the fact that her handsome devil was and had been lying to her, it didn’t care. It still wanted her to patch her lips to his in a slow sensual motion, and then afterwards, wrap her legs around his waist.

‘Betrayer.’ She thought, before finally glancing at her friend who was looking at her curiously.

“Are you okay?” Maya asked, coming closer to her. “For a moment, you looked like you were lost.” She added, before sitting on the bed. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah.” Emma replied. She couldn’t tell her boyfriend’s cousin that her own thoughts were consumed with bedding her cousin, even though they were friends. It seemed weird to her. And so she thought of something else to say.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was just thinking about my family.” She said, before jerking her head more higher, if possible, as a painful realization dawned on her. She hadn’t communicated with her sister for close to two weeks now. The last time they had spoken was when Derek had dropped in for the second time that first week to pick her up for school, that time when his car’s horn had disrupted their conversation over the phone.

“Oh God..” She muttered. Amelia was going to kill her. She thought, as she realized another shaking thought. She hadn’t been in school for close to two weeks!

“What the hell!” She said out loud, as she wondered what the hell was really happening. She hadn’t been in school for two weeks, hadn’t spoken to her sister either; all because of..

“Because of them.’ She mentioned, before turning her face and glaring at Maya. They all had caused this. Were they trying to deprive her of her life?

“Them? Who are the them?” Maya asked, staring blankly at Emma. Sometimes, she doesn’t just get the human. She thought. Her mood was unstable like water; liquid and still this minute, ice the other minute, then gas.

“You guys.” Emma stated vehemently, ignoring the voice in her head which was telling her that it was not a good idea to approach the matter this way, that her thinking was even wrong to begin with.
