Chapter 43

Mia's Pov

I flicked the lights on only to find Christian sitting on his recliner in his full glory as he continued to observe my every move carefully. I stayed quiet, not answering for a while, which had him getting up and close the distance between us.

I stared down at my feet, feeling like a child caught stealing chocolates from the fridge in the middle of the night. If only that was the case, it would have been easier to explain.

“Where were you, Mia?” He asks after cupping my cheek and lifting my face to meet his eyes.

“I …told you didn't I? I wanted to roam around the pack house and explore it,” I answered, mustering up a pleasing short smile.
