Chapter 85
Alpha’s White Lie
Chapter 85
The ride back to Mariners Bay was very quiet . It was I am by the time we got home and I was shivering . I didn’t know if it was from the cold or from the stress of everything I had just learnt . Blake was keeping a close eye on me and I could see he was trying his best to keep his distance .
Once we got back to the apartment , I darted for my room . I shut my door and headed for the shower . The solution to many of my problems came from a hot shower . The hot water running down my naked body , relaxing all my muscles and sending a soothing sensation through my nerves was exactly what I needed right now .
I stripped off my clothes and got under the hot water , letting it soak my hair as well . The water felt so good against my skin and somewhere in the back of my mind , I wished Blake was in there with me . It sounded crazy to want him so close to me but everything right now was crazy . I knew I wanted him , my body wanted him but a werewolf ?
I had only read about supernatural things in storybooks and seen the hunky Jacob Black in Twilight . We’re all these things real ? My mind went back to Dwayne’s words “ There is a possibility that your father could have been a werewolf ”
All these years I had never thought of him . I had never asked or spoken about him but somehow this man that didn’t even know my existence was becoming part of my present . There must be some mistake . I mean I would have felt something or seen something that made me believe I was one of them but up till now , there was nothing . I was human and I was sure of it .
The question remained , did I want to learn about Blake’s lifestyle ? Did I still want to be part of his supernatural world ?
I turned off the shower and wrapped my towel around me . I patted myself semi – dry and walked back into my bedroom . My throat was parched . I felt so dehydrated and drained from my hot shower . I looked around my room but my water bottles were empty .
It was 2:30 am now , Blake would have gone to sleep right ? I slowly opened my bedroom door and peeked down the corridor . It was dark which meant Blake had gone upstairs . I quickly and quietly walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water . The cold air hits exposed skin sending a shiver through me . I closed the fridge and turned to head back to my room.
“ Why exactly are you walking around in a towel ? ”
I jumped in panic . My heart was racing . Blake was sitting on the stairs , blending into the dark .
“ What the hell ! Can you please not scare me like that ?! ” I held on to my towel tightly .
Blake got up and walked down the stairs , flicking on the soft stairs lights . The lights reflected off Blake’s bare chest . He was wearing pyjama pants that sat low around his waist .
“ I’m sorry . I didn’t realise you were still awake . Are you okay ? ” I gould see him scanning me .
I was very aware that beneath my towel , I had nothing on . I clenched my bottle with one hand and my towel with the other . My dirty mind really just wanted to let go of the towel and see what Blake did .
“ Yeah , I’m okay . Just needed some water . ” I held up the bottle .
“ Right . Okay , well , have a goodnight ” he gave me a tight smile and started walking back up the stairs .
“ Blake ”
He turned to look at me .
“ Can we talk after I get dressed ? ”
“ Sure . Let me go get a t – shirt ” he started to climb the stairs again .
Damn it . He looked good without one .
Once he disappeared up the stairs , I rushed into my room to pull on my pyjamas . I braided my hair and drowned the bottle of water like a fish out of the sea . When I got back to the living area , Blake was sitting on the floor near the fireplace . He had lit it up and was watching the orange and red flames dance together .

A blanket and pillow were sitting on the floor next to him . He looked up at me as I got closer and patted the blanket . He brought those for me.
