Thirty-one

CHAPTER 31

GLENN

So I made my way home in silence and all alone, my hands were in my pocket as I kicked the earth in an unladylike manner.

I felt foolish, lost and filled with disdain all I could imagine was how I would have treated the whole scenario differently.

Had he meant what he said?

The fact that I might not hear him utter those words again, the thought that he had been ridiculed by my actions flashed across my mind as I was stuck in a phase.

Should I just turn back and apologize?

I turned around to see that I had walked a long distance and it was too late to turn at this moment, dimming my eyes I let the sound of the evening drown in my thoughts.

The sub shone a warm glow against my skin, but it couldn’t thaw the feeling I had running through my soul… All I felt was coldness that had slid into my stomach throughout the whole while of walking.

The next minute was filled with me running my mind through what I wanted, , listening to the sound that came from my own breath and debating what I would do if he decides to go all rampart after what I had done.

For my conscience, for my sanity, I knew the best would be to stay away from him as soon as he got home, at that moment engaging him was not an option.

At that moment, I wished I was a different person, one who could put it past me and

forget, just so I didn’t have to ruin the small amount of trust he had in me.

Still it looked like there wasn't much I could do about it, I just had to wait to see where all of this led to.

Just one thought filled my mind as I made my way home and that was how pissed he would be. One part of me Wanted to let him into all of my secrets but there was more attached to it than was possible.

I thought about what was in line if I did, the thought that he wouldn't want me anymore if he knew the dark secrets that filled my soul.

As it seemed at that moment, it wasn't one I could keep for so long, at least not when the full moon was two night's away.

Already, I could feel my body reacting already as the day neared—

My hormones have been on a whole different level, and I was wondering how he hadn't noticed it yet seeing that he was a doctor.

Already, I had everything I wanted to do planned in my head to make sure my secrets are still hidden.

I would give a good excuse so I could get away just before the moon would come up—

There and them in the woods I would transition and take my wolf on a run to burn out every bit of energy that was left behind before heading back home.

It was all planned out and now with this recent occurrence, I hoped to myself that it wasn't ruined.

****

As soon as I got home, I shut the door with a quiet click behind me. Awareness brushed my skin and I could feel it from my head to my toes as I walked the distance discarding my dress and stepping past them to the shower.

I bypassed the mirror, not flicking a gaze on my way as I didn't want to see how I looked .

Soon the sound of water from the faucet filled the room as I let it down every part of me hoping in some way that it cleansed me from every toxic thought.

For the next moment I was thoughtful, as if I had a lot on my mind—or maybe I was just meticulous about my feelings.

The tension in my shoulders eased just as I thought, My frustration had faded with the

hours of the day, as I made my way out of the showers.

Walking back out I found him right there in the bedroom—my bedroom

"Didn't realize you were back." I muttered though, burying the burning feeling in my lungs.

"Was just checking up on you."

His gaze touched my skin, but I didn’t look in his direction.

What if he saw everything I was thinking?

When I stole a quick look, he was handling his with his thumb brushing his cheekbone.

“Guess, I will be resuming work earlier than I thought ?” He muttered as he leaned against the door.

In a way there was still a bit of tension , more of it coming from the fact that I was still feeling the toll of the day all at once.

A smile came to my lips. "That is good news isn't it?" I asked.

" Yeah, it is—a perfect one at that ”he drawled.

“Uh-huh.” I was forced out of me, feeling strange so suddenly .

In a way I thought of how he would react if he got to know that I was responsible for why his office was sealed, or that I had revisited that same room in my wolf form night's ago.

It was as though the guilt I felt wasn’t a price enough to pay for my actions and held no earing on my decision.

In a way I'd didn't expect this conversation was easy, relaxed, though I couldn’t help but notice his movements were slightly tense from what ahd happened earlier.

I hoped deep down that he didn't pick it up as I chewed my lip, padding into the bathroom again after I grabbed a dress from the wardrobe.

I acted like I didn’t care about his

presence when In reality, my spine tingled with a violent awareness each time he moved.

While trying to think of something to say, my attention caught a light mark on his knuckles—Something heavy sank in my chest.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I asked.

“Did you get into a fight? "

He looked down to his knuckles and swallowed.
