Chapter Fourteen

I ignore her completely and just as I go to walk past her, she reaches out and grabs my forearm gently, halting me in my steps. I raise an eyebrow at her as I look at the spot where her hand is gripping my arm.

She quickly let's go as if burnt, saying what must have taken a lot of courage for someone like her to say. "Luna Gia, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but I want to apologize for how I have been acting. I have had time to think about my actions, and I realize that I am in the wrong. I… I don't have many friends and to be honest, I was jealous. Alpha Edric was the only one who didn't treat me like I was only good for what was between my legs."
I furrow my eyebrows, doubting every word coming from her mouth. She looks down shyly before continuing,

"I didn't want you to steal him away from me and I got angry and acted childish. I hope you can forgive me and one day we can become friends despite how we met. I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, but eventually, I would like to be your friend."

She looks forward and her eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets. She clears her throat, looks down to the floor whispering, "please give me a chance to show you I can be a great friend," and swiftly leaves the clubhouse.

Edric is standing closely behind me. "What did she want?"

"To be honest? I don't have a clue, but she is up to something." I leave him there confused as I continue my way upstairs to get into the steaming shower, needing to relax my tight muscles.

I'm not going to tell Edric everything Valerie said. He doesn't need to worry about what she is planning on top of everything else going on, so I will just have to be wary of her with the help of my new friends.

Stripping out of my clothes as soon as I enter the bedroom, I grab a towel and turn on the taps for the water to get to my desired temperature. I stand staring in the mirror, wondering about the three sixty that Valerie is trying to pull. What is she planning? She cannot honestly think I'm stupid enough to believe she was sincere. Two can play this acting game, but she won't be the one to win in the end.

The steam from the running water has fogged the mirror, telling me to get my tired ass in and get clean. I step under the spray and relax my tense shoulders, needing to loosen up before going to sleep as tomorrow is going to be a long day as well.

I wash my body quickly and thoroughly before washing and conditioning my hair. I stand under the water for a little while longer, just letting the pressure from the spray massage my upper body. Exhaling slowly once I realize the hot water is starting to get chilly, I shut the taps off and wrap myself in the towel that is hanging right outside the tub.
I smirk to myself knowing that Edric will need a shower as well and there is no more hot water. Chuckling at my thoughts, I figure he will need the cold water anyway.

I blow dry my hair and exit the bathroom to see Edric sitting on the couch, leaning back with his eyes closed and hands behind his head. Mentally sighing at the image before me, I scan his body slowly, starting at his sock clad feet and make my way up.

I stop at the obvious bulge in his jeans, swallowing the saliva that has pooled in my mouth. I continue the appraisal of my mate and when I reach his scruffy face, I see the knowing smirk on his sexy lips. 

The bastard caught me red handed and he knows what he does to me as well. He inhales deeply and a heady sound rumbles from his chest. I take a deep breath, close my eyes and turn away from him to head into the walk in closet.

I hear him stand up before mumbling that he is going to have a shower as I catch the sound of the bathroom door clicking shut. I smile to myself as the taps get turned on and a yelp leaves from where Edric is. He must have gone to stand in the shower, realizing too late that the water won't be hot.
