Chapter 33

I mumbled the lyrics softly to myself of the song “Castle Of Glass By

Linkin Park’ as I rummaged through my closet for an outfit for my date

with Kaden tonight. Earlier, I had mentioned to him that I wanted him

to come to back to my pack afterwards to clear up a few questions that

I still have if there was time.

A light knock came on my door and when I realized who it was, I shook

my head with a smile and went to open it."Just dropping by?" I asked

Aiden as gave me a brief nod and grin. I moved to the side to let him in

and he sat on a chair near the corner of my room, "I kinda need help

choosing an outfit.""Let me see your options.” He said but the lack of

usual enthusiasm in his voice had me raising a brow."Uh Oh. What's

wrong?" I laid down the 3 dresses in my hand on the bed and stood

near him with my hand on my hip.He gave me a dry chuckle and ran a

hand down his face, "That obvious?"I nodded and gestured for him to

speak and he sighed and sunk down into the chair."Adrianna’s been

distant in a way. She's close as fuck one day then the next she barely

wants to be around me. I brought her to meet my parents last night

and my mom hated her. Like literally hated her. As soon as Adrianna

came through the door it was like Bam! Mom stopped smiling, she

looked super creeped out and just left the room." swear I was raising

my eyebrows so high they must be touching my forehead. "Racheal got

freaked out? By what force?""That's what I'm saying! She does the

creeping out, not the other way around.”l crossed my arms and

wrinkled my nose a little, "Did your mom say why?"Aiden shrugged, "All

she said afterwards was that something wasn't right about her. I didn't

wanna think much of it but everyone in the pack who's seen her have

that same freaked out look on their face.""I didn't though when I met

her. Although she is a bit...off." I admitted, causing him to slap his palm

on his forehead."You know what," Aiden said as he stood up and

cracked his neck,"We can talk about this another time. Do you still need

help?"~s~"There we go. He'll love you." Aiden said as he finished my

makeup."l didn't know you could do makeup.” I looked up at him with a

smirk.He laid down my makeup kit on my vanity and flexed his muscles,

"I'm the full package."l rolled my eyes playfully and admired myself in

the mirror. Aiden gave me a smoky eye look, complimented with a very

light blush and lip gloss(Y'all Imao, don't even comment nun about the

makeup. I don't know shit about this stuff, I'm trying.) to go with my

outfit(Look In The MM)"Danica. Are you ready?" Kaden's voice rang in

my head and I replied back a moment later."Yeah, I'm ready.""Well I

better leave before he shows up here. He's still a little mad at me."

Aiden said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"That might be best. Call me later?""Definitely.” He replied and gave me

a brief wave before quickly leaving the room.My mind wondered back

to what he told me about Adrianna and his mother. It's just too unusual

and Racheal can be a lot of things from what I've seen but not that kind

of unusual. I made a mental note to ask Kaden what he thought about

Adrianna but maybe not tonight.~«~Aiden's POV"Adri, can you please

tell me what's wrong?" I begged as I leaned my head against her door

in frustration. After I left Danica's a few hours ago I ran in wolf form to

the nearest human town, where Adrianna lived in an apartment

building. Some things about her I just don't get. She isn't a part of a

pack, but she isn't a rogue because she doesn't smell like one. I'm

trying to take things slow and gradually work my way up too asking her

about it but she's like a damn switch and that makes it more difficult

because of her sudden mood changes."Please Aiden. I just want to be

alone right now. I'll call you later tonight." She replied behind her

door.See what I mean?"Adrianna, please. You need to talk to me. If it

was my mother then-"The door was suddenly pulled open, almost

making me fall flat on my face since I was still leaning against it but I

caught myself in time.

I looked at her and her hand was covering her mouth."Are you..""Bad

toothache.” She replied before I could finish, "Please Aiden. We'll talk

tomorrow."Sighing in defeat, I nodded slowly and she shut the door.As

I left the apartment building, I couldn't help but just think of almost

every possible reason as to why she was acting like this.And 1 only

hoped...it wasn't the reason I think it might be.
