Chapter 16: Darkness Returns
*Ada*
I tried to lift my arms, but a weight pressed down upon me, making my body feel heavier than usual.
The pressure began to build up against my chest, and I tried to take in quick gasps of air to combat an overwhelming feeling of breathlessness.
My eyes opened and I couldn't tell the difference from when they were closed. Darkness surrounded me that was so deep not even a ray of light could penetrate it. My gasps of breath became more frequent as the anxiety within me grew.
A strange sense of deja vu came over me, but I wasn't quite sure where to place it. When I tried to think and hold onto lucid thoughts, they seemed to just flow through my brain like water in a colander: slipping away before I even had the chance to organize and understand them.
All I knew was that I wanted to escape the darkness…but no matter how I tried I couldn't get my body to work. Or maybe my body really was moving, but the darkness was so encompassing that it changed

*Bryson*I froze, completely shocked and clueless about what had just happened.It had been a day and a night already since I brought Ada to the infirmary, and I had forced myself to stay. I promised that I would stay until Ada could wake up and I could give her a proper goodbye.Apparently I had been in the wrong for assuming that Ada would be excited to see me.She had flinched away from my touch and screamed at me to let go of her. My hand stayed outreached, unsure of how to proceed. I wanted to respect her wishes, but my body and my wolf were begging for the endorphins and peace that her physical touch brought us.'She's afraid,' my wolf told me as I stayed frozen, trying to think what to do. 'I can feel it. She is afraid of us.'My feelings of angst grew at this observation from him.She was scared of me? How was that even possible?'Well, you did hurt her.'I growled internally at the reminder. I felt myself gettin
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 18: Longing and Leaving
*Ada*My body felt like it was on fire, but in a much better way than the nightmare I had weeks ago. Instead of anguish and despair, I was feeling arousal and desire.How could I not feel that with Bryson standing in front of me?In fact, I had never felt this way with anyone before. Kissing men before had been pleasant for sure, but nothing like the kissing with Bryson. Part of me was starting to wonder if what I had done before was even considered kissing after experiencing what I just had with Bryson.Kissing Bryson was other-worldly…and yet, for some reason he had just stopped."I'm sorry," Bryson said, and I noticed his eyes were closed. "We need to take a break, or I am afraid that I won't be able to stop.""What if I don't want you to?" I asked.His eyes came back to life and burned into my own. Even the intensity of his gaze made my breathing pick up its pace and I felt other parts of me burning for attention as well. His eyes
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 19: While She Was Out
*Bryson*My wolf howled and screamed inside of my mind, but I kept my jaw tightly clenched, preventing him from getting anything out or gaining control for even a moment.It was hard though when I was standing there, staring at the hurt on Ada's face that my words had caused. At least the hurt had finally stopped her arguing though. I didn't think it would be that hard to leave her, but she was fighting for me tooth and nail.And while part of me loved her devotion, the other part realized that this devotion could just spell more danger for her."Why would you say that?" Ada asked, her voice barely audible as she looked down.My chest tightened again, but I took another deep breath to gain control of my own emotions, my own anguish. There's no way I could justify my words, even if they were true."Get some rest," I said as gently as I could, allowing some of my own dejection into my tone. "I'll come back tomorrow."Ada didn't move or
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 20: Deception
*Bryson*Ada's wolf would cause endless calamity? Had I heard him right?"How?" I asked in a tight voice. "What's wrong with Ada? Or her wolf? Why do you say that?"As I expected, Ada's father was not interested in providing the information that I requested."The details don't matter," he said with a wave of his hand."But--""I was just telling you so that you will go back and do what's right," he interrupted me. "You don't need to ask questions: you need to leave."My wolf tried to growl again, but this time I kept control. He seemed to notice my internal struggle though."Some things are meant to stay in the past," he said a little softer.Then, before I had a chance to push for more questions he had turned and left, taking the dead body with him. I watched him walk away, still burning for answers, but I wouldn't leave Ada. I couldn't follow him.He knew that and used it to his advantage. Smart.I made m
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 21: Pain
*Bryson*My stepmom had been the one to poison me.Well…possibly. It still wasn't a sure thing, but the evidence was not pointing in her favor by any means. And even if she wasn't the one that poisoned me, I couldn't deny the fact that she had ordered those rogues to stop me.Even if it meant killing me."Ethan," I said, breaking out of my thoughts. "Head back to Grandmoon and scope out the Alpha mansion before I arrive there."My gaze fell back on the infirmary, despite my efforts to restrain myself, and I couldn't help but add, "And when you get there, secretly send some people back to protect this place."If I did leave her, I couldn't just leave her defenseless. Wait. What did I mean, 'if' I left her.I shook my head as if it would shake out the power that was drawing me to her. My wolf would never let that happen though, I was sure. It appeared that if I truly wanted to be free of her I would have to reject her.'DON'T YOU
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 22: Making Connections
*Ada*Bryson's breathing slowly calmed beneath me, and I realized that he had fallen asleep.Yet my fingers didn't stop their journey as they moved around, playing with the hair that I had been dying to touch since I had first laid eyes on him. Bryson didn't seem to mind my fingers though, and kept unconsciously moving even closer to me.My eyes took a quick sweep of his body, trying to check for any physical injuries or anything else that I needed to tend to. His knees looked a little scraped up, but they were nothing major. Definitely not something I would have to mend at the moment. Especially since his wolf would most likely be able to heal that in a matter of minutes, even without my aid.As I knelt there and stared at the man in front of me, the man that I had panicked seeing injured, I realized what I had been trying to push back. But what I was fighting wasn't ignorable any longer.I loved him. I loved Bryson. I wanted to be with him.
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 23: Visions
*Ada*Was this really happening?My breath was coming in pants as Bryson sat up to appease my shaking fingers and rip his shirt off over his head. I sat up with him, fumbling with my own shirt before his steady hands assisted me with that as well.He paused as he saw me laying there with just a bra on, his eyes even darker than I had seen them before, but I didn't hesitate at all. I wrapped my arms back up and around his neck, pulling him back to me.The skin on skin touch was just as good as I imagined it would be. His contact spots seemed to tingle with anticipation and a shiver passed over me as goosebumps covered my skin, making me even more sensitive to his hot hands.It felt so good that I didn't even notice the dirt and branches and leaves that were scratching along my bare back.I opened my eyes again as he pulled back slightly to give us room to breathe. My vision blurred as I looked up at Bryson and for a moment I thought I was cry
Whisper of the Alpha Chapter 24: Research Plans
*Ada*I rested my head against Bryson's chest again, just enjoying the comfort that came from his presence. It took me a minute of feeling the little tingles to remember that he was still shirtless."Oh, sorry," I said, leaning back. "Did you need your shirt back?"I started to hand it to him, but he shook his head quickly and pushed it back to me, averting his eyes."No, you can keep it," he said, his voice thick.I looked down in confusion and then remembered why I had his shirt in the first place. I had nothing but a bra on underneath. My cheeks burned as I wrapped it back around myself."Oh, right, thanks," I said, glancing around for my shirt. "Hold on one second."I hurried over to my shirt and threw it on before walking back over to Bryson and handing him his own shirt back. He was still trying to look the other way and be a gentleman, but I could see the tension in his body, and when I helped him up, I wasn't surprised to find
