ALPHA'S ENDLESS REGRET: After The Barren Luna's Leave novel Chapter 94

The thought of it sent a new wave of hope through me but I knew I had to remain calm. I couldn't keep being so enthusiastic. There was always the chance of things going south. I had t prepare myself should it ever lead to that.

We eventually reached a small attic. Froste opened the door for me and lead me inside.

"This place holds the working notes of all the Elders." He explained, helping me to the ladder so I could climb high enough to see the journals sprawled over the place.

I felt a wave of excitement as I run through me as I ran my hands through the journals. Wave after wave of knowledge and I would have access to all of it.

Just the thought of it filled me with so much happiness. I wanted to scream for joy. I'd been so happy about seeing the journals that I forgot I had to be careful with my footing.

I tried to climb higher in a bid to get to some more journals but I ended up missing me my footing.

Just when I thought I'd hit the ground, strong arms broke my fall with ease. Froste had caught me before I fell to the floor.

This was the first time in a while that I was in Froste arms. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to have his arms around me, to feel the warmth of his touch.

"I've got you." He smiled

With my face this close, I could feel the heat of his body and muscles. The whole room seemed to have warmed up a little. I shifted a bit in his arms. That small action made his throat slid up and down.

"Giselle." His voice seemed huskier than it had been before.

I felt a bit odd about the whole shift in the vibe between us. I wanted to leave here, try to get my thoughts gathered in some way.

Just then, the door to the attic flung open and Askhan walked in, an unknown man in tow.

Shit.

I held my breath, my heart beating faster with each passing second. It thudded so loud that the only thing I could hear was its loud pounding.

He hadn't seen us just yet with how he was moving around. We were most likely in his blind spot so he must have not noticed us just yet.

Askhan turned to the attendant following him around. "Where is Giselle?"

"I—I don't know, sir." The attendant stumbled over his words.

"Why are you here? What did you come here for?" He stared intently at me.

His eyes held millions of questions and equally an expectation of answers for all the questions. Just as I was about to answer, his gaze flickered away from me.

I turned to see Froste walking into the room, his wolf slowly following him. Askhan's eyes were still narrowed on him.

The royal prince had never been fond of him. Things were bound to escalate from now. The attendant had slowly taken a step back, his whole body trembling in fear of incurring Askhan's wrath.

Askhan turned to me briefly. "Did he hurt you?"

I shook my head. "No, he didn't. We—"

Askhan barely let me finish as he turned back to Froste, his eyes set into a glare. "You've been messing with her, aren't you?"

"No, I've done no such thing." Froste replied, his tone strangely clipped.

The two men were staring each other down with so much intensity that I wanted to just leave the place. The tension would sky-rocket to the room if things didn't stop soon.
