Chapter 569: Chapter 72 : I Can Find Him

*Lena*

Adrian made himself at home, much to my annoyance. He was messy, and he tended to come into the cottage and leave a trail of clothing items behind him, as well as walking away from half-empty mugs of tea. He’d gone through all the books I’d unpacked, leaving them in random places around the cottage, and every morning when I left for the schoolhouse, I’d find him standing in the kitchen drinking coffee in nothing but MY robe, which barely covered his thighs.

He was unphased by my presence. He was fixated solely on locating his Alpha, and complained frequently about the fact that I could only spare so many hours a day trying to activate the bond between us. Mind-linking with Xander had failed, and the mark on my chest was dormant, nothing but a smooth, half-moon scar.

Four days had passed since the night Adrian arrived. I had no friends in Cedar Hollow, so no one seemed to notice anything odd about Adrian hanging around the village or walking back to my cottage.
