Chapter 138: She was trying to protect you… from getting hurt
Selene POV
I was having a sweet dream... you know the kind where the feeling is out of this world and almost real that you could almost feel it in the physical when the soft rap at my door lulled me from the dream world into reality. Blinking groggily, I stretched like a cat, loving the way my bones cracked... they were all resetting from the run I had last night.
It had been Xavier’s idea and I was so glad I did. My wolf, Bea has since matured and become even more stronger than the last time I transformed. Since Xavier couldn’t run with me, he stayed and waited until I had run to my heart’s contention but it did me a lot of good. Connecting with nature in my wolf form was an underrated healing. All my senses were activated... the leaves smelt differently; the night air soothed my troubled heart... but by the time I changed back to my human form... I was so tired.
It was Xavier who aided me home. The knock came again, so I assumed it was one of the maids coming to draw the curtains and tidy my room. "Come in," I called out, my voice still husky with sleep.
Instead of dainty, small steps which is common to most of the maids since they were Omegas, I heard the footsteps of someone striding purposefully towards me. cracking my eyes a bit, I arched a brow in surprise as I saw Noah coming towards my bedside, his expression unreadable. I felt my breath catch in my throat as the ray from the morning sun, captured one part of his face, giving him a dangerous yet attractive look. Instinctively, I pulled the bed covers over my chest. My nightgown was revealing... in this state, he could pounce on me.
"Noah?" I called out "What are you doing here? I wasn’t expecting to see you in my room so early this morning. Did something happen? Are you unwell?"
He stopped at the foot of the bed, his eyes straying first to the bed covers I held firmly in my hands before they met with my eyes. He seemed to chide himself for staring. I watched as he gathered himself, clasping his hands behind his back as he regarded me coolly. "I wanted to know what you intend to do,".
I cocked my head in confusion as I regarded him "About what?"
"Please, Selene! Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about," he stated flatly shifting his feet impatiently "You haven’t said a single word to me about... Brooke. About what transpired between us. I need to know your next line of action and prepare myself for it also,".
