Chapter 102 You Tempted the Beast

Adam was as confused about things as Ann was.

As much as he tried to communicate with his wolf during and after the incident, his

wolf struggled to answer him… or maybe he didn’t want to answer him.

Title of the document

Whatever it was, Adam knew that he had gone too far. It had never reached a point

between them where Ann actually wanted to escape from him, usually, it was a l*stfilled back and forth between them both that consisted of her wanting to be dominated

and Adam showing her just how well he could please her.

He had meant for it to be a little rough, perhaps a little brutal too because she loved it

when it was rough, but he was genuinely worried that the sudden emergence of his

wolf and the brutality in which he took her was too much, even for Ann.

He was terrified that she would leave him…

That she would never look at him again with those beautiful eyes filled with l*st… the

gaze that would make him destroy everything in his path just to bury himself balls

deep in between her legs.

What if he had ruined everything between them?

Standing at the bathroom door he could hear the shower running, but there was no

other noise inside. He was grateful at least that he hadn’t reduced her to tears.

Adam ran his fingers through his hair in frustration with himself as he paced anxiously,

waiting for her to emerge.

Eventually, she did, opening the door abruptly and striding purposefully toward the

dressing room whilst ignoring his presence completely.

“Ann…” Adam pleaded quietly, his voice hoarse and cracking a little as he spoke her

name, “Let me explain II

“There’s no need, Adam. Wash up and get yourself to your meeting. I have things to

do as well.” Ann answered coolly, not even bothering to turn and look at him.

He stood uncertainly in place as he stared hopelessly at her rigid back, unsure

whether or not he should at least try to make her listen to him, or if he should leave

her alone.

Ann made that decision for him as she swept her hair up into a loose ponytail,

grabbed her handbag, keys, and purse from the side, and punched a series of

numbers into her phone.

Adam watched with mixed emotions as she swept past him without a second glance,

his eyes following her every movement as his heart sank.

“Hey, Lexi! I’m sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. I…yes I know, I’m sorry. Are

you free now?”

Ann paused at the doorway as she finally turned to look back at Adam, and the

hesitance and hurt in her eyes as she briefly locked eyes with him felt as though it

shattered his heart into a million pieces.

He had hurt her.

The last thing that he had ever wanted to do was to hurt her.

“Sure, let’s meet for coffee, I’ll head over now.” She spoke into her phone with a

forced smile before saying her goodbyes and hanging up.

“Ann, wait… please… I’m sorry.” Adam said hurriedly as he approached her and tried

to wrap his arms around her.

But Ann stepped back out of his reach quickly and put a hand on his chest to stop

him.

“I don’t want to talk about this right now Adam.” She spat angrily, “I’m going to see

Lexi and clear my head a little. You know you took it too far, whether it was your wolf

or you… he is as much a part of you as you are him. I need to process how I feel

about this.”

She could see the hurt in his eyes at her rejection of his affection and was flooded

with a sense of guilt, but she didn’t change her mind. She couldn’t.

“I’ll be back later. I’ll message you and let you know when.” She continued coolly as

she placed her phone in her handbag and stalked away leaving Adam alone in their

bedroom.

Ann made her way through the pack house, greeting people she passed as normal.

Whatever had happened between her and Adam, she was still their Luna and she

wouldn’t be the first woman that had been mistreated at the hands of the man they

loved.

She would never let it impact the way that she treated or regarded her pack members.

But it didn’t mean that Ann had to take the mistreatment lying down. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She had watched her own mother let things slide in the early days of her father’s

indiscretions, and she had done nothing to stop it.

Sure, she had been angry and hurt by it, but her mother had trusted that it would all

work out in the end, that it was a simple mistake and that the supposedly infallible

mate bond would prevail in the end…

Ann snorted to herself.

If even your goddess-blessed fated mate wasn’t devoted enough to safeguard your

well-being, then a contracted mate couldn’t possibly be any worse.

She considered herself lucky that she wouldn’t have to contend with the one-sided,

ever-understanding, and always-forgiving unfairness of the mate bond interfering with

the rational decision-making that she needed to do.

Ann inhaled the fresh air deeply as she stepped out of the front door and trotted down

the steps towards her car with Maeve whining softly in her head.

‘We’ll go for a run soon, Maeve. I know I’ve neglected you recently with that. It will do

us both good to run free for a little while.’

Maeve snorted lightly as the car door closed behind them and Ann settled into the

driver’s seat.

‘I’d much rather you try to understand what happened back there.’

‘I don’t need to understand anything, Maeve, I know exactly what happened back

there. I asked him to stop because it was too much and he continued regardless.’ Ann

snapped.

‘So you tempted the beast and didn’t like it when he answered?’ Maeve scoffed,

‘Really Ann, when did you revert back into the precious little princess that was

incapable of defending herself?’

‘I have NEVER been incapable of defending myself…’

‘You could have fooled me.’ Maeve snapped sarcastically.

‘Then what would you call this, Maeve? I’m not standing for being treated like that,

it’s…’
