NovelEnglishChapter 0576 "Everything alright?" "Not really no." He grunts back as he movestowards the car we arrived in to bring Freya to the hospital. I reach out to open the door myself but he is there before me, already opening the door for me...his hand stretching out to helpinside.
I suppress the desire to roll my eyes...I was pregnant, not incapable.
But things were still fresh between us, I wasn't tip toeing around him...but I still needed to appreciate that he had just given up everything for me...we needed sadjusting time. Stto get used to being just the two of us.
We were still very much finding our feet.
I didn't want to press him, I didn't want to demand that he tellsthings...not if he doesn't think I don't need to know.
I trust him wholly. However, I can't help the sinking feeling in my heart at the mention of Callie, of her parents.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI turn my head to hide my disappointment at the mention of her name, only for his hand to land upon my thigh...drawing my attention back to him.
"Callie's parents are refusing to leave, refusing to understand what has happened." "Happened...they must have been notified about Alora." I can't help the small scoff that escapes me, what else did they need to know.
We had lost somebody dear to us, the packs were in mourning...
"Why Callie is no longer going to be the Luna of the Clear Waters pack. Why my sister and her mate are taking on the leadership." Anger boils up within me, Alora had died. My mate, who they thought was Callie's mate, had been nearly killed by that sbullet and they were concerned about titles, about status.
"They refuse to leave until they see me, which means..." He cuts himself off with a growl, but I already know what he is about to say.
"You need to go to the Clear Waters early. I understand." Everything was still a mess, in disarray...it would take tto clear things up.
Not just internally...but externally with the wider shifter community.
"It's not ideal, but I owe it to Callie..." My jaw tenses at the mention of her name, at how protective he is of her...even still.
"I can stay, keep any eye on things and join you for the funeral." "No, you are coming with me...that is not up for discussion." "What of the pack?" "We will hold a pack meeting this afternoon. That should put their mind's at ease...hopefully." "This is such a mess." I sigh out as the alpha house comes into view.
"Maybe a few days away will do us sgood, we can get the house decorated in our absence. Cback to our house...how we want it." "Are you sure this is what you want?" I have to ask just this one time.
Doubt was such a dark demon as festers beneath the surface...he Sit .n chere to bringback. Not to take on a pack and all of its problems.
He slams the breaks on the car, his arm shooting out to stopfrom hitting the dashboard.
"I don't want you to ever askthat again.." He seethes out.
"Jace..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't ever want you to think that, do you hear me?" I can hear the anger in his voice, watch the way his chest h the way starts to move to move more rapidly, signally his wolf's rising anger. This wolf sendinga warning not to ask that question again. He starts the car again, continuing on the path that leads to the alpha house.
It was a fair question, and one I had to ask...even if just the one time.
couldn't see into his mind yet, couldn't feel his emotions...and now couldn't Callie's parents were demanding to see him.
What if they make him change his mind, what if.......
The car comes to a halt outside of the alpha house, I move to open the when he's passenger door when he is already ripping it open, reaching for my hand and movingout of the car. "Jace...what are you doing." I look behind, he hasn't even closed the car door as he continues to pushinto the alpha house.
"You need to feel me, you need to know this is all I've ever wanted."
"Jace..." I exasperate, confused by his rushed movement. Only for him to slam the front door behind me, lacking it his lips crashing into mine with a need, a desperation to claimas his. To makehis forever.
