Chapter 10
When we reached pack territory I was relieved to find that the pack was no longer waiting for us in the gathering room, which hopefully meant I was off the hook when it came to the claiming ceremony. Edward shifted to his human form and immediately began to head straight into the main house. I had other ideas, I didn't want to be around the pack right now. I knew they were supposed to be celebrating their new alpha female, but all I wanted was to go to my lodge and hide. I wanted to be alone so I could dwell on what had happened and to find a way out of this mess.
Clearly, Edward didn't feel like letting me go just yet. When I began to move away from the main house he stepped in front of me and shook his head. Of course, I could have tried to walk around him or tried to run again, but the look in his eyes warned me not to. So I followed him into the main house, through the lounge and up to his bedroom.
His bedroom was very masculine, lots of dark wooden beams, stag heads from previous hunts and a mahogany bedspread with matching accessories. He closed the door as soon as we were both inside, locking it, before he headed over to his bed and took a seat. "Change," he ordered, watching me.
I didn't particularly like being told what to do. It was bad enough that he had chosen me as his mate and claimed me against my will. I was not about to be subjected to more orders, so I ignored him. Instead, I walked over to a large log fire with a fur rug in front of it. I circled around the rug a few times before sinking down into the fur with a sigh. If he wanted me to change he was going to have to wait until I felt like it.
I must have fallen asleep with the heat of the flames and the comfort of the rug because next thing I knew I was being lifted from the floor onto the bed. That wasn't the surprising part. The surprising part was that I was now in human form. "How did-" I gasped, looking up at Edward.
He smiled down at me as he placed me on the bed. "I have my ways. Now, I think it' time we have a chat. Don't you?"
