CHP-11

Dawn's POV

"Are we there yet?" I wanted to see this forest, it has animals. The Cloud mountains do have animals but so far I have seen, leopards, cats, elephants, and foxes. So in this forest, Adam told me that there are even tigers, monkeys, ducks, rabbits adorable little things. Sitara never let me keep an animal.

."For the 70th time no it will take about 10min more. You going to have to be patient or I throw you out of my car". So irritating, but I don't mind it. I got to know a lot about him. His favorite color is blue-grey, his favorite animal is a horse, he studied in North America, he has one sister she's 13 and when I asked about his family, he went silent;

"It's been me and dad for a long time until my sister Emily came, she's adopted But she is always gonna be my little sister "I didn't push him, if he wants to tell me, I will listen. So I talked about my self and the tension decreased.

"Hey we never asked how old you are "Adam turned his head towards me, I didn't know how old he was either. I know I am on the young side being a teenager and all but he didn't look above 25 either.

"Well am 19. What about you?", he looked slightly shocked, "now I feel old, I am 21. You looked at least 22, plus your height is unusually tall and the way you command people, reminds me of my mother"He was smiling until the word mother came out.

He looked like he was in pain, and it was only increasing. I saw the muscles tighten around his arms and chest, I didn't like seeing him in pain, I hated seeing anyone in pain.

"Stop the car, STOP THE CAR!"; the car hauled to a break because driving with anger or pain in you is never a good choice, he didn't look at me."I don't want to talk about it, I am fine"

He didn't look fine, not one bit."I don't want you to talk about it, I know I am not much help but this is the least I can do."I removed my seatbelt and reached towards him; I hugged him and held him tightly, it was such a weird position, my back stung, the only thing I could hug was his shoulder and ran my hands through his hair, he first tensed under my touch then relaxed.No matter how much I despise skin on skin and people touching me, he was in pain and I would do whatever was possible even if I could take a bit away.

Damn you! Stupid mate instincts!!

After two minutes I pulled away, cause or else I won't be able to walk, my back hurt like a bitch, as I pulled my arms from his shoulder, he reached for a wrist and pulled me towards him, which made me land on his lap.

I was inches away from his face. Intense blue eyes locked with my boring ones," Thankyou, it did help" his hands snaked around my waist and pulled me towards his chest, I was stunned by this action. Normally I would have bitch slapped whoever dare touched me.

I would have felt like there were bugs and dirt on my body, but him. I knew that I don't have to be worried about him holding me. After a minute or two of I felt warm, no seriously his body temperature is so warm and cozy, as much as I preferred cold overheat, his heat which was radiating to me it was nice. I pulled away and looked at him.

His hand moved from my waist to my hair and slowly pulled the rubber band that held my loose braids together. His big hands slowly undid te loose braids all while staring at me, his eyes were like a whirlpool that hypnotized me and I couldn't look away. My curly hair laid near my waist and across my chest; how long has it been since someone saw my red hair. He stared at my hair and I got more and more worried, I knew I should have tied it properly"Why do you hide it, your hair?.It's beautiful, red and wild".....I knew the answer.

I didn't want him or anyone else to know. I am a coward, I am so afraid to let my own hair be open the way I like it just cause it reminded me of what people would do to me and my hair was just an advantage for them. I couldn't lie looking at him. I fiddled with my fingers until I just decided that I don't have to explain to him"Adam, I have reasons for it, pls respect it and don't ask me about it. Also don't ever touch my hair again"Lie. It was a lie, I wanted his hands on my hair, It felt so great to just know that he found my hair pretty I wanted to let a huge identity of mine to be shown, my forgotten unruly wild red hair. But I couldn't, I could never.

I waited for an answer, I looked up to meet his eyes"Okay. Whenever you're ready to show me, I will accept.Until then, I won't do anything your uncomfortable with; don't worry".He hugged me again, tighter this time. Now he pulled away and when I got to see his face again, he smiled, I could see the pearly white straight teeth, and how it caused lines to reach his eyes.

Oh shit what have I done, I let a bit of my guard down within 2 days of meeting him. My conscience kicked in; my wolf was in control now "You haven't trusted your life long relatives or friends yet here you are hugging this man. Get your ass off his lap."Okay okay, calm down Ophelia

"Umm..it would be better if we just headed to your home- castle, I'll let my wolf out some other time" I murmured, where the fuck did my stern ordering voice go!!?, Adam what have you done to me.

I made a mental note, not to ever mention me hugging him or touching him or him seeing my hair the next time I see him. I wish I could see him every day.

For the-deal.Yes, that's why. Since we made a deal. I knew how hard it was for me to become Alpha, so I am not taking his position away. Yet. Who knows my mood might change

Now, right now. For 2 months I will just have to bear with him. Don't fall in love that's all, how hard can that be? Piece of cake.
