Chapter 5

I woke up and nearly had a heart attack when I realized Carter is banging the door.

The events from last night came rushing at me as I turned to see Adam sprawled out on the bed beside me.

The poor boy had been nothing but nice to me and I appreciated it more than anything. I'm glad I met him since Willow left last night without even saying goodbye. She never even left me a text which was quite hurtful.

I lay back down on the bed not wanting to leave just yet since I was so comfy here.

I lay there for only a few minutes before I heard a loud, thunderous knock on my door causing me to shoot up from the bed alertly.

I turned my head to see the door handle being rattled as if someone was trying desperately to get in and I soon heard the one thing I was dreading to hear... Carter 's voice.

"Open up the door! Leoni. If you don't open the door, then I will come in by myself " I heard Carter ’s voice come from the other side of the door. He was not speaking in a bad tone. But my heart is about to stop beating with hearing his voice.

Oh no oh no oh no oh no!!

I didn't think twice before I began to shake Adam violently, loudly whispering for him to wake up. To my great luck, he was a very heavy sleeper but after about fifteen seconds he suddenly shot up from the bed and went tumbling down towards the floor.

If Carter wasn't on the other side of that door right now then this would have been hilarious but as of now, I have no time to laugh!

"Woah! Leoni ! What the hell is wrong with you?" He groaned as he got up from the floor rubbing his head.

I didn't need to reply to him however as Carter beat me to it- "How can there be a man's voice in your room? Who is in your room?"

"Oh shit!" Adam said as he rushed around the room trying to think of a plan.

The door handle was rattling furiously now and I could feel the tears coming on. I'm so thankful that he locked that door last night!

I'm about to cry...not because of what Carter will do to me but because he might hurt Adam and Adam is so sweet and innocent in all of this.

"The window! Adam jumps out of that window and run around to your room! This is the fifth floor anyway so you can easily just climb out with your wolf form" I loudly whispered to him as I shoved the window open.

“Where is your exaggerated idea of my ability come from? We are on the fifth floor. I don’t want break my leg.” He shakes his head in disbelief.

Carter suddenly banged open the door. He was stunned when he saw Adam in my room. So did I. Immediately, his veins flared with his fangs out his mouth, and grabbed Adam by the collar.

“Who are you? What are you fucking doing in my mate’s room?” Carter barked

"Did you sleep with my fucking mate last night pup!" Carter bares his pointy teeth in a vicious snarl, realizing I was standing behind Adam.

"Chill out bro! We are just friends. You think I'm dumb enough to sleep with the Alphas daughter and your mate? " Adam said, laughing him off, sounding extremely bored.

“I swear I will chop you into piece of shit, if slept with her!” Carter yelled at Adam.

“Clam down man. The Alpha King is my cousin. I have hordes of women throwing themselves at me. If I get hurt, the king will not let you go easily.” Adam treats back.

Carter suddenly released Adam and looked down at me in undisguised disgust.

“What are you doing standing beside him? Come here!” He turned angry at me.

“Watch your mouth! She is my friend, that is, the king’s friend. I will tell the Alpha King, if you dare to harm her!”

“The king didn't even know her. Even if the king knew her, the king would not waste time on such an inferior.” Carter smirks.

“Have you seen the king? Do you know the king? But I know, I am the closest person to him. He always listens to me, whatever I say.” Aiden stared into his eyes and threatened to return calmly.

“You worry too much. How could I hurt my mate? No one loves her more than I do. Could you leave my mate's room now? We need some personal space.” Carter returned to his normal face.

Adam seems successfully squelched the flurry of Carter ’s bad arrogance.

Adam gave me an encouraging look, then left my room.

Carter stared at me and kept silence until Adam’s step finally died away.

“Now, your protector is gone.” He looked at me with an evil leer.

His voice makes my heart sink.
