Chapter 41 Caden’s POV We’ve been staying in this house for a week and a few days. Alessia’s heat waves have stopped and it’s time for us to get back to reality and back to the pack house. For some reason, I’m dreading the inevitable. I always knew that this day was sure to come so why does it feel like a knife laced with wolfband is being pushed inside of me? I throw the last bag into the back seat of the car with a heavy sigh. Then I walk back into the house in search of Alessia where I find her putting on her shoe in the room. I lean on the doorway, watching her like a creep as she does the simple task of sliding on her shoes. Will it be weird if I pull her into my arms and place a kiss on those sinful lips? The answer to that question is a definite yes. Her heat has ended and though no words have been spoken about what comes next, we both know that everything is coming to an end now. “We should get going,” I say, straightening up and walking into the room. Alessia does the last knot on her shoe and stands up, dusting invisible dust off her clothes. “I’m ready.” A heavy sigh escapes her. “I don’t even want to know what people will say when we arrive together. The rumors are going to be crazy.” We could have chosen to arrive separately but at the end of the day what difference will it make? People are going to put two and two together and come up with whatever conclusion they choose. It would be stupi d to go out of our way to placate their irrational thought. Let them come up with whatever they want. “Just ignore them. It will eventually die off once a new topic comes their way.” Doubt enters my mind even as I say those words. The pack has always had something to say about Alessia and I relationship. Our going away together for a week is just going to serve as fuel for the hungry lions but it can’t be helped. “What am I going to tell Jake? I still need to apologize to him for what happened.” She’s biting her nails now with a faraway look on her face. “I hope he isn’t mad.” He may not be mad but I’m definitely furious right now. What does she mean by she’s going to need
to apologize to him? Is she planning to remain friends with him even after what occurred? “Are you still going to be talking with that jerk?” The words are out of my month before I can help it but I can’t find it in me to regret them. Maybe I should have chosen a better choice of words but I’m just calling it as I see it. Her eyes narrow as her forehead pinches together in what I can only call annoyance. “He wasn’t at fault.” I scoff, rolling my eyes and digging my grave digger. “He was going to kiss you when I came and I doubt that he would have stopped at that. My hands clenched into fists as my vision turned red. Imagining what could have happened if I had come a second later makes me want to find Jake and give him an extra dose of beating. He’s so lucky stopped when I did. 82% 12:33 Chapter 41 “He was the one who brought me up to my room. He was trying to help me,” she says, her eyes flashing. her annoyance shifting into anger. “Yeah, he was definitely trying to help, Lle would have been very helpful to you if I had walked in a second later.” Groaning. I run a hand across my face. This isn’t how I want our last day in this room to go. All this is because of that b a t a r d. Even when he isn’t around, he somehow finds a way to cause trouble. “The only reason why he was going to kiss me was because I basically begged him to,” she says exasperatedly, throwing her hands up in the air. 1 growl, digging my nails into my palms hard enough to draw blood. “Besides you said it yourself that unmated males are going to be drawn to a female in heat. It wasn’t his fault.” I’m not hearing a thing of what she’s saying, the blood rushing through my ears is all I can hear. “I don’t think you should be talking with him anymore. I don’t trust him with you.” She’s the one who scoff’s in disbelief this time. “I don’t care if you trust him or not. He’s the only friend I have in that pack house and I’m not going to lose him just because you don’t f u c k i n gThis is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
trust him.” “You have Scarlett!” I yell out, remembering the few times that she sat beside Scarlett at dinner and chatted away with her. “You don’t need him.” “Scarlett has moved out of the pack house in case you didn’t notice and yes, I do need him.” That’s the last words she throws my way before she pushes past me and heads out of the room. The moments we shared in this same house shattered to the floor. All because of f u c k i n g Jake. Why couldn’t she just listen to me? I close the front door harder than necessary, thanking the Moon goddess when it doesn’t pull off its hinges. I follow Alessia outside to the parked car and slide into the driver’s side. Alessia is gazing out the window with her arms crossed over her chest. The don’t f u c k with me aura around her has me keeping my lips shut for the duration of the ride back to the pack house. She flies out of the car as soon as I park in front of the pack house and is already swinging her bag over her shoulder and heading for the house before I can get any word out. F u c k i n g Jake. H
