Chapter 144

BOOK 2: CHAPTER 14

Harriette’s POV

The moment I walked into the breakfast hall and my eyes landed on Rowan, I froze. He had the exact same mark on his neck and the reason I could see it was because he was half naked.

I didn’t freeze just because of the mark but I froze because of his body too. Shamelessly at that.

I trained with male warriors back in our pack. Half of the time they were half–naked and I never got affected this much by their nakedness. The crazy thing was he only had his side turned to me.

“Stop staring, Harriette,” Ella hissed close to my ear.

I wanted to look away but it was too late, Rowan had turned towards the direction where we were standing and before I knew it, he was in front of

  • me.

His eyes moved down to the turtleneck I was wearing that barely covered up the mark or should I say bruise. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the room with him.

“Can you let me go?” I demanded.

He didn’t respond. He kept on dragging me to heaven knows where. His grip on my wrist was tight and it was beginning to hurt like a bitch.

“You’re hurting me,” I suddenly screamed and he finally let go of me. I looked around to see we were almost at the Alpha’s office building.

When I looked back at him, he was staring at my wrist.

I held it with my other hand and massaged it gently.

“What’s going on?” I asked. “Why are we here?” I added.

He stared at me with a hard glare on his face. I didn’t think I’d ever seen him smile since I came to his pack.

And that made me question a lot of things. Why should I care if he smiled or not? Shouldn’t I be more concerned about carrying out my mission successfully?

Must he die for Luke, my betrothed to live?

Couldn’t I take the ‘thing‘ from him and go my way? Must I also take his life?

I looked away when his gaze turned too intense for me to handle.
