Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

I couldn‘t sleep. I knew my body was tired, but my mind wouldn‘t shut down. I kept thinking about my mate. I swear, while he was showing me around the pack house, I couldn‘t keep myself from yawning and I felt like I would fall asleep already and that was why Riley insisted that we head up so I could sleep. I was hoping he would invite me to his room, but he didn‘t. I wouldn‘t deny that I was disappointed, but what could I do? 

So here I was, alone in this room, trying to console myself by smelling his scent on the shirt I was wearing and hoping for sleep to take over. 

But the moment he left my room, I couldn‘t relax anymore and sleep never came. I guessed having him around was calming for me and my wolf. And now that I couldn‘t smell him, I found it hard to sleep in an unfamiliar place. 

Or perhaps it was because I had no idea what we were to each other at this point. 

We didn‘t talk about it. So I didn‘t know if the two–month deal was off or if it was still in place. 

Although he told me he didn‘t leave me on purpose at the cave, it still didn‘t mean that he wanted me. So I have to guard my heart. I couldn‘t fall for him if I had to leave after two months. 

But who was I kidding? I didn‘t even spend 24 hours with him, and yet, I didn‘t want to be far away from him already. Would I be able to survive if, after two months, he asked me to leave? 

Or maybe I could try? Make him fall for me within the next two months. 

But it seemed impossible. I’m just me. And he‘s Riley What‘s to like about me? I‘m no one. Even my own family didn‘t want me. I wonder if my mother survived childbirth, would she end up liking me? 

My eyes watered as I closed my eyes, clutching the blanket against my chest as I coiled my body.

‘‘Stop Nadia! You‘ve been through this torture for years, and I thought we were moving on?‘’ My wolf, Arrow, snarled at me. 

She hated it when I wallowed in self–pity. But she would never understand, she‘s so beautiful and I‘m just me, 

‘‘Stop or I will leave you alone.’’ She threatened me, but I knew she would never dare leave me. 

I shoved the blanket off and rose from my bed, I knew sleep would be impossible right now. I had better do something else to occupy my mind, because with my mate in my thoughts, I was sure I would never be able to sleep tonight. Riley told me he would take me tomorrow to the center of the territory where we could shop  

for some basic clothing that I could use. But then what would I wear tomorrow when we go to the center? Definitely not his clothes! 

I wondered why she didn‘t come to let me borrow her clothes. Maybe she didn‘t like me or to share her things. I wouldn‘t blame her. I was basically a stranger
