Chapter 14 - The Market (2) (1/2)

Adrianna reached the market before the brother and sister duo. After parking her motorcycle, she walked towards the shop where they were supposed to meet. She wasn't into shopping, but she loved hanging out at human establishments, and the town market was one of them.

When she reached the shop, she picked up a familiar scent. Her wolf growled as she stepped inside. As if in a trance, she started walking in the direction of the smell when someone called her from behind, breaking her reverie. ”Adrianna!”

Adrianna snapped out of it and turned around to find the person who had called her. Finding it had come from Okashi, she smiled at her friend and said, ”Okashi!”

With Niiya following them, they headed into the store. Niiya sauntered off to the men's section while Adrianna instinctively walked to the section where jeans and shirts were being displayed. Okashi had to drag her out of there to bring her to the dresses section.

”Adrianna, you should wear a dress that accentuates your figure,” said Okashi, bringing her to a section with red dresses.

”Okashi, I am never going to wear that color,” said Adrianna, distastefully.

”Fine, let's see the blue ones,” she held Adrianna's hand as they walked over to the shelves where there were various blue colored dresses neatly piled up.

Okashi picked one up and held it up in front of Adrianna. After a short moment, she shook her head and placed it back. After about ten dresses, Okashi finally managed to find a dark blue dress with black and white motifs that she liked.

”No, that is way to flamboyant!” said Adrianna, trying to persuade her from buying it.

”Oh it looks beautiful. Go to the fitting room and try it on. We will see after you put it on,” coaxed Okashi.

It was indeed an arduous task to convince Adrianna. Okashi literally had to drag Adrianna to the fitting room. ”You try this one first. I am going to get another one.” She quickly said that and stashed Adrianna into the last fitting room.

”Phew!” Adrianna blew air and went in the room. She tied her hair up in a bun, took off her jeans, and looked at herself in the mirror. Even though she hadn't gone shopping willingly, she was still enjoying the girls time out.

She had just removed her shirt just when she picked up the smell again. Her wolf wanted to open the door and rush out to see the source. She grabbed her dress and hastily wore it before quickly opening the door. She froze at the sight of him. He was standing at the entrance of the fitting rooms. Their gaze met. Her hand clutched the doorknob as if it was her life support. Her wolf wanted to be with him, embraced within those muscular arms.

Looking fierce and aggressive, he was extremely attractive. His arctic-blue eyes stared into hers, and she refused to turn away from that sharp gaze. Her wolf and her body were going against her better judgment. The primal l.u.s.t was so dominating that she felt pained not being with him. She was startled at her reaction to him. This was third time in a row. What was happening to her?

He had just parted his lips to say something, when the door to the room right in front of her opened up, blocking her view. She heard the occupant of the room say, ”Hey! How does this one look?”

Adrianna was smacked back to the present and she closed the door. Her wolf growled in protest. She held her jeans and her shirt tightly in her hands and sat down in an effort to calm down. Her patience was thinning by the second. How could a girl like her lose her self-control so quickly? She found herself a little thrown and she was very unhappy about it.
