Chapter 17 - 017
Tristan stiffened as happiness bubbled within him as the pair of black eyes landed on him with mild intensity.
"You are awake," Gale’s voice interrupted everyone’s thought.
The silence in the room was heavy and tense.
He had a lot to say and wanted to ask the Alpha some urgent questions but with the way his eyes lingered on the Omega he had no choice but to leave quietly after the maid slipped out.
"I need to go," Tristan murmured with a hint of awkwardness and rose from the ground.
He had sat close to the bed because he wanted to be closer to him but he wasn’t expecting him to wake up suddenly and stared at him from such close proximity.
It was like he was staring into his soul and could see what’s in his mind. That made him feel exposed and naked under his gaze. It was as if what had happened between them yesterday was a vivid dream as he could not hold his gaze for a fleeting second.
He hadn’t risen fully to his feet when he was suddenly pulled forward by the hand and he fell onto the bed with a muffled scream when his face met with the rigid wall of the Alpha’s chest.
He was too stunned to scream in shock or yell and he could only lay down stiffly as his heart beat wildly against his ribcage.
"Are you going to keep ignoring me?" Alpha Mitch asked in a hoarse voice as he wrapped his arms around his small frame. Burying his whole body in his embrace. His nose finds its way to his hair and he takes an addictive sniff. The sweet scent of the Omega suddenly filled him with sudden need that surprised him. Even if they were pressed against each other in an embrace, he could feel an invisible wall between them and he would give anything to crush the wall and also his resolve.
Tristan’s wildly beating heart picked it race, he had spent yesterday thinking the Alpha was done with him and ready to discard him but now he was safely tucked in his arms. His thoughts turned wild and his skin was growing warmer from the overwhelming closeness and the pheromone of the Alpha that circled him like a big bubble.
