The Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 36: Call from Work

Mabel's pov

When he was done with his food, his phone rang and he stood up to his feet immediately after seeing the caller, I was puzzled, I didn't know who it was and I could only hope that Adam was not in any trouble because of me

He put the phone back on the table and sat down on the edge of his bed. "I'm sorry about that," he said. "I just don't feel like talking right now." He seemed distracted and preoccupied, but I decided not to push him for more information. I knew that he would tell me what was going on when he was ready. For now, I just wanted to make sure he was okay.

I stayed with him for a while, talking about nothing in particular. He seemed calmer now, and I was glad that I had been able to help him relax. But even though he seemed more at ease, I couldn't help but feel that there was something he wasn't telling me. I was dying to know what it was, but I knew I had to give him time to open up to me. Patience was a virtue, after all.

As I sat there with him, I couldn't help but feel a sense of connection with him. I felt like I could understand him, like I could see inside his heart and soul. It was a strange feeling, one that I had never experienced before. I wondered if he felt the same way if he felt as drawn to me as I was to him. But I didn't want to ask, I didn't want to ruin the moment

As we sat there in silence, his phone rang again. This time, it was a call from work. He hesitated before answering, and I could tell that he wasn't sure whether to take the call or not. "I need to take this," he said, getting up from the bed. I nodded, and he walked out into the hallway to take the call. I sat there, wondering what was going on and what it all meant.

After what seemed like an eternity, he walked back into the room. He looked at me, his face unreadable. "Everything okay?" I asked. He nodded. "I'm just not sure how to feel about everything," he said. I understood what he meant. It was a lot to process, and it would take time to sort through it all.

He continued, "I have to go to work now. I have a meeting that I can't miss." I nodded, feeling a pang of sadness at the thought of him leaving. But I understood that he had to go, that he had responsibilities outside of our connection. "I'll be back as soon as I can," he said. I nodded again, and he gave me a quick hug before he left the room.

As I sat there alone, I thought about everything that had happened. I had met Adam, someone who seemed to understand me in a way that no one else did. And yet, there was still so much that I didn't know about him. I wanted to understand him better, to learn more about who he was and what made him tick. But for now, I would just have to be patient and wait for him to come back.

As I sat there alone, thinking about Adam, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I had never been in a situation like this before. I was used to being independent, to being in control of my own life. But now, I was starting to feel a little bit out of my depth. What if I couldn't handle what was coming next? I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. I knew that I had to stay strong, to be brave. Whatever was going to happen, I had to be ready for it.

To take my mind off of my worries, I decided to pick up a book. Reading had always been a comfort to me, a way to escape into another world, even for just a little while. I went to my bookshelf and scanned the titles, trying to decide what to read. I finally settled on a book that I had been meaning to read for a while. I sat down on the couch and opened the book, the words on the page slowly coming into focus.

As I read, I found myself becoming absorbed in the story. I was transported to another place and time, the worries of my own life fading away. I could feel myself relaxing, my muscles unclenching, my breathing slowing. The story took me on a journey, and I was glad to have a break from my reality. I didn't know how long I had been reading.

I sat on the couch, lost in the pages of my book. I was completely immersed in the story, unaware of anything else. As I read, I found myself relaxing, my body and mind slowly sinking into a state of calm. But then, something pulled me out of my trance. I heard a sound, a faint noise that seemed to be coming from somewhere else in the house.

I heard the noise again, this time a little louder. It sounded like something was moving around, almost like someone was walking through the house. But I was home alone, so I knew it couldn't be anyone else. I put down my book and listened intently, trying to figure out what was making the noise. But as I listened, the sound stopped, and the house was silent once more.

I went back to my reading, my mind kept wandering back to Adam. I wondered what he was doing and if he was thinking about me too. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was different between us, that something had changed. But I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that the sun had started to set, and the room was getting dark.
