The Tormented Soul

Darius POV

I went to my bed two hours ago and I was not able to fall asleep. I laid on my back above my duvet in my boxers and sweatpants. I have been tossing and turning the whole time. I’ve tried laying on my back, both of my sides, and my stomach but nothing worked. I was starting to grow restless.

I have been working my ass off me with a lot of paperwork since I left Alea's room trying to figure out what pack she belonged to and why the moonlit pack hunted her down and beat her, but I haven't been able to find out anything.

Every time I close my eyes my brain goes haywire trying to figure out why anyone would do that to her. I put my right arm over my eyes trying again. I breathed in a deep and calm breath trying to sleep when I heard an ear-piercing scream echo through my packhouse.

I moved my hand up to her cheek and deepened the kiss, even if this was not my intention. I just couldn't help myself, she tasted so amazing. I licked the bottom of her lip to ask

to grow in my sweatpants. I broke the kiss and I looked at Alea and I could see that she was now calm and her breath was back to normal. I just hope she will forgive me. I did

in shock. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying. I still had one of my hands on her cheek and the other on her lower back. I could see the fear on her face and the tears that threatened to escape her

forth. I could feel that she relaxed more and more in my arms. It was then I leaned down and kissed her on the top of the head. We sat like this for a while but when I started to notice that she was about to fall asleep leaning against me I put her head on the pillow and put the duvet over her body and tucked her in.
