Novel Drama Chapter 22
Chapter 22
«Fraction)
I sit on the floor with my back to the door. for the seventh night in a row I’m listening to Anna sob to
herself in the shower. I know what’s happening in her dreams, she doesn’t realise it, but she talks in her
sleep. I listen as her father beats her, as John attacks her and dumps her in a cage, tonight I listened
as I tormented her. Each time she speaks in her sleep it kills something inside of me. Since that first
night we haven’t spoken about being mates, I haven’t touched her or even spoken. to her intimately.
She hasn’t left my bedroom, not once. I bring her food: she pushes it around her plate, and we sit in
silence. I want to be there for her but I’m running out of ways to help. Her safe place is the bathroom,
any time I try to talk to her she runs into there and hides for hours on end.
‘What can we do Leo?‘ I reach out to my wolf for advice.
‘Are you Alpha?‘ Leo responds
‘What a stupid question, of course I am.”

(Anna)
I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting in the shower, long enough for my shower to change from cold
to hot and back to cold. My tears have mixed with the water, I’m not even sure I’m crying anymore. I
should get up, I can hear Winter willing me to get up, she’s lending me her strength, but I don’t want it. I
want my sadness to weigh me down. I’m carrying it around me like a shroud, like a bubble. I’m using it
to protect myself.
It’s like an explosion goes off in the bathroom, the door splintering shocks a scream out of me. Fraction
is standing in front of me, he’s wearing the basketball shorts he fell asleep in, his beard is full and wild
like he’s been running his hands through it. His hair is standing on end, which makes him look adorable
and young. His eyes are switching between green and yellow, his chest is puffing in and out from his
deep breathing. He walks towards me as his eyes settle on green. He carefully opens the shower door
and leans down to pick me up. My n*ked wet b*dy collides with his chest. I’m not sure if I jump into his
arms or if he picks me up. I’m enveloped in a fluffy white towel as he sits me on the counter between
the two sinks.
“This has to stop Anna; I can’t help if you don’t talk to me.” He says in a low voice as he pushes the wet
hair out of my face. “You need to start talking or at least stop running from me. I won’t hurt you Anna,
not ever.” As he talks my eyes are drawn to his mouth, I don’t know why I do it, I’m like a moth to the
flame. I lean in and land a feather light k*ss on his l*ps. He doesn’t k*ss me back, so I go in for another,
this time I hold my l*ps to his. I’m just about to pull away when he slants his l*ps over mine, I feel his
tongue caress my l*ps and I gasp in

surprise. As his tongue blends with mine fireworks go off in my head, it’s like Christmas, fresh cookies
and sunny days all rolled into one giant ball of goodness. I moan into his mouth and pull him closer with
my hands in his hair. I can’t get enough of his taste. I try to bring my leg up to his hip as he pushes me
away and holds me in place with his hands.
“Damn it, Anna. That’s not what I meant!” He sounds mad, the weapon I feel pressing between my
thighs says he’s anything but mad.
“I need you.” I say as I try to reach his mouth again, damn his immovable arms. “I’m your mate and I
need you!”
“No!” He moves to stand near the bath out of arms reach, I pull the towel further around me.
“You don’t want me?” I’m starting to cry, Goddess when will I run out of tears?
“Does it look like I don’t want you?” He points to his crotch, “Of course I want you. I just don’t want you
to regret it. When I finally have you, I want you to want me as much as I do you. I want you to feel loved
and cared for.”
“Then you’re going to be waiting a long time.” I sound bitter and angry. I jump down from the counter
and head back to the bed. I curl up under the sheets and start crying all over again. I hear Fraction take
his usual spot in the chair next to the bed.
