Though she will cto hateeventually. Mallory creeps up the stairs towards me. Her lips pressed into a thin line that gradually crept up into a smile as she makes her way towards me. "Do. you think she will speak toif you are here?" She asks hopefully, glancing at the door.

I had already learned that about her. "And she is definitely not in the mood right now. If you go in there, she will probably kill you on the spot." "Oh," She leans against the wall next to me. "How am I supposed to get her to listen to me? "You don't. You keep your head down. You do everything that is asked of you. You be respectful to everyone here. And then, just maybe, she will see that you are trying and be willing to speak to you, but for now, she is pregnant and if she feels a threat, it will be gover for you." She sighs.
"I have told you it won't be easy. I thought you had trust issues, but the Alphas ability to trust is on a whole different level." She frowns at me. "She trusts you." "No she doesn't.

She givesa sad smile. "You have slotted right in here. Who would have thought you would like pack life?" "You just need time. Isn't that what you first toldwhen I found you? Mallory bobs her head. "True." "Go back to the house. There's no point in you standing here with me." I will see you later?” She asks “Sure.” "At least you and Jess like me." she mutters as she turns away.
I watch Mallory hurry back down the stairs, until ofice again I am alone.
