Chapter 58
He thought about it for a moment, his brows creased.
“We were having a meeting about the rogue attacks and how he wants to form an alliance with the most elite Alphas and their packs,” Leo explained. “We ordered drinks and talked. Then our food came, and we ordered another round of drinks. Midway through our meal, he started to complain about how hot he was. He was getting irritable and angry whenever we said anything to him. His wolf started to come out and he couldn’t seem to control it. Then, Shirley suggested they go somewhere private to sit down and cool off and he lost his temper. He threw her hands off him and demanded that we bring you here right away. His wolf was pissed and kept demanding you. That’s when I called you p>
I furrowed my brows.
None of this was making any sense.
I wondered what could have happened from the time they arrived to the time they ate the food and this happened.
I ran my fingers down the side of his face and sighed. I quickly went into the bathroom and grabbed a washcloth, drenching it in cold water. I returned moments later and placed it on his forehead. His body relaxed some from the cold cloth and a smile tugged at my lips.
He looked innocent at this moment, and it tugged at my heart.
“Is there anything you need from us?” Beta Leo asked and I realized he and the Gamma were still in the room.
I shook my head and smiled.
“Thank you,” I told them. “I’ll stay with him for tonight. Just make sure you find out what happened this evening p>
They both nodded and then departed from the room.
I didn’t think Elliot would want to sleep in his suit, so I slowly undid his tie and then I undid the buttons on his shirt. His eyes remained closed, and his breathing remained level as I got his shirt off. I slowly undid his pants as well, ignoring the warm pool of desires between my legs. I slid his pants off and took off his shoes in the process. Seeing Elliot in only his boxers made my own skin warm.
I put the blanket over his body and grabbed the cloth off his forehead. He moaned with irritation from the lack of coldness on his head and I couldn’t help the smile on my lips. “I’ll be right back with this,” I assured his sleeping form.
I went into the bathroom and put the cloth under the cold water.
As I looked at myself in the mirror, I decided that if I was going to be staying here all night with him, I might as well be comfortable. I hated sleeping in day clothes.
Sighing I stripped off my shirt and jeans, leaving me in my bra and underpants. Then, I turned off the water, rang out the excess water in the cloth, and returned to the room.
I placed the cloth back on his forehead and he sighed contently again.
I chuckled at him, shaking my head.
“Silver I heard him whisper in a sleepy state. I paused to look at him, running my fingers across his chest.
“I’m here,” I whispered.
His eyes opened slightly, and he looked at me. Heat rose in my cheeks as our eyes locked. Then his eyes scanned my body briefly before he met my eyes again. I heard a low growl in the depths of his throat, and I swallowed the lump in my throat.
I went to turn off the lights, but he was way too quick.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bed, flipping himself so he was on top of me; the cold cloth falling to the ground. He let out a low growl again, his eyes blazing yellow as his wolf fought to take control. He pinned me beneath him, and my heart was racing wildly as I looked up at my crazed husband.
His teeth were elongated, and I feared what he might do; though, I knew he wouldn’t exactly hurt me. That didn’t mean he wouldn’t do other stuff.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling as my scent filled his nose. I stared at him, disbelieving.
When he opened his eyes, his wolf was gone from his gaze and his teeth were back to normal. But he still had a clouded look in his eyes; I knew he was still under the influence of whatever was happening to him.
“Elliot… you aren’t in your right mind,” I breathed.
“Oh, my mind is exactly where it needs to be,” he said in a growly tone before his lips crashed into mine.
