------------------------
*Annabelle's POV*

Who knew that Adam could get even more clingy.

As soon as the alcohol kicked in for him, he pulled me into his lap. I didn't mind of course, Adam was nice and warm and his presence made me relaxed. He was constantly giving my neck soft kisses as we continued talking. Everyone had been quite surprised by Adam's sudden drunkenness, as Jasper and Will were only tipsy at this point.

I suppose Adam did have a lot more shots than the other two, as Robin always gave Adam one extra.

When everyone wanted to go and dance Adam refused to let me go. He even went as far as to growl at Robin when she tried to pull me away from him. So, Adam and I ended up being the only ones left on the couch.

I turned to him and he looked at me with dazed eyes, "I didn't think the absinthe would hit you that hard."

Adam grumbled, "It's all Cade's fault."

"Why?" I asked him.

"He's refusing to help me process it." He spoke in a slight slur. I raised an eyebrow at him in confusion and he managed to explain, "Our wolves are the reason we heal so fast. However, the wolf has to actually put in effort to heal that extra amount, it doesn't just happen. So if Cade refuses to help me I'm basically human."

I frowned, "Why does Cade not want to heal you?"

Adan shrugged, "He doesn't like it when I drink."

I hummed in response. I wonder why? "Will you be ok? Do I have to ask Robin to tone it down on the shots?" When Adam had visibly started to show the effects of alcohol Robin already toned it down for him, but he was still taking shots.

"Are you concerned, mate?" Adam asked with a lopsided grin.

"Cade wouldn't let you die of alcohol poisoning right?" I asked.

Adam frowned for a moment, probably trying to talk to Cade. "He won't respond to me right now. Probably not." He spoke with a chuckle.

I smiled, "Cade, I know you can hear me. Please don't die."

Adam's eyes twinkled as he gave me a breathtaking smile. "He says he'll start helping out again."

I beamed, "Thank you Cade!" I gave Adam a hug, hoping that Cade would feel it as well. Adam quickly returned the hug and placed his head in the crook of my neck.

He breathed in my scent, "You smell so good." He then nuzzled my neck, "And you're soft." He mumbled.

I chuckled as I started to play with his hair. He let out a silent groan, "I love you so much Anna." He spoke softly.

My eyes widened, that's the first time Adam has told me that. I broke the hug and looked him in the eye. He looked slightly dazed still, until realization seemed to hit him, "Shit, sorry. I shouldn't have told you that while drunk."

I felt my eyes soften, "It's ok. I don't mind."

"It's not too fast?" Adam asked. He suddenly looked so vulnerable. Like he was afraid I'd get angry at him.

I shook my head, "No, Adam. It's not too fast." After all, I love you too.

I decided not to add those words yet. I didn't want him to forget tomorrow, and right now didn't seem like the right time.

This entire week I have been thinking about my feelings for Adam, and in the end I could only conclude that I did indeed love him. There was no other emotion I could describe these feelings with.
