章 8: Chapter 8: Conflicted Feelings

Adrian’s POV

I’m in the middle of a meeting with Jean when I sense that something is wrong.

I feel a dull sensation in my gut, like a phantom pain. My wolf begins to pace and whine within me, growing more and more sad and agitated with each passing moment.

I sigh and nod. “I’m okay. I just feel a little uneasy.”

Michelle walks into the room with Alicia’s arm slung over her shoulder, cutting me off mid-sentence.
