CHLOE

CHLOE CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND ADRIAN AND LEANED BACK AGAINST IT, SINKING TO THE GROUND IN

disbelief. Euphoria washed over her as she let out a sigh.

“Did that really just happen?”

The last twelve hours had made up for the awfully long month she’d endured. Everything was perfect … the bath, the sex, waking in Adrian’s arms, sharing a meal …

But in her mind, the part she’d remember the fondest was how Adrian opened up to her. The brave way in which he wore his heart on his sleeve and laid it all bare for Chloe to see clearly.

“I couldn’t have been more wrong about the man.” She chuckled.

She knew now why he stayed away for as long as he did.

“To think an almost immortal man like him has lived generations, only to end up falling in love with a girl like me.”

She giggled like a child, allowing herself to relish the feeling of being special. Surely, she had to be if Adrian called her his fated mate.

Tuning out the world around her, she closed her eyes and replayed everything from the moment Adrian showed up on her balcony. She wished she could go back, not to change anything but just to experience it twice.

Her jaw ached from how much she smiled. Then, her phone rang from her bedroom. She quickly got to her feet.

“Gayle,” she said aloud, reading the name on the screen.

“Hey!”

“Hey, Chloe, how’s the head?” Gayle chimed in an upbeat tone.

“All clear. I didn’t have anything to drink last night, so I’m fine. How about you?”

“I’m good. I just wanted to call and see how you were doing after last night.”

“Everything’s all right, thanks for asking.”

“Are you sure? I couldn’t stop thinking of how upset you were. I should have followed and looked after you. It’s my bad.”

“You’re fine, Gayle. Seriously, don’t worry about it. Besides, my man came over, and we hashed everything out.”

“Glad to … Wait, what?”

Chloe giggled at the sudden change in her friend’s tone. Just wait until she hears this next part, she thought to herself gleefully.

“Did you meet someone else on the way home or something?” Gayle asked almost immediately.

“No, no. Adrian swung by. He’s the man I’d been droning on about for the past month.”

Chloe waited for a response but nothing came. She took it as a cue to continue before the silence dragged any further.

“Just when I thought I was about to move on, he appeared almost out of the blue. We talked and figured it all out as one big misunderstanding, and he even stayed here for the night.”

“He what?”

“Don’t worry. I didn’t give in so easily. I made sure to let him know what I thought of him ghosting me. He took it pretty well and even apologized.”

“Just hold on a minute,” Gayle sighed with a strained voice. Chloe wondered if she was okay. She imagined Gayle pinching the bridge of her nose. “This Adrian guy, is he Adrian Dracos?”

“Yeah, that’s him. Why do you ask? Do you know him?” Chloe asked, half surprised.
