With my arms folded across, I watched a shirtless Brian stroll down the stairs in his pajamas and slippers. He glanced at me but looked away immediately I was sitting on the couch like I had been doing for the last three hours since I arrived here..This wasn’t my first time being here, but his annoying silent treatment made me feel like a guest in my boyfriend’s house. Pulling his phone out, he began to speak to someone on a call. “What’s up, son?”He walked to the kitchen, conversing with the person and ignoring me once again. “What's with him??” I frowned. As much as I wanted to be mad, I was hesitant to talk to him because I know I had made him mad. “She did what?” He said loudly. “Dude, why?” He burst into laughter. "Okay, sorry for laughing…. That's sad." He said sarcastically. I waited again and the next thirty minutes passed: an infuriating, boring thirty minutes. “I can’t deal with this.” Jumping to my feet, I went to the kitchen and he was taking out his ingredients with
"Hold on, I can explain. I promise." I said. "Explain what? He's literally standing outside, expecting me to bring you to him. Plus, he looks super mad. What have you done?" She said at once. “I’ve done nothing. Tell him I’m not home and make him leave.” I frowned, my fists clenching. Why would he want to visit me?“YOu sure?’“Yes!” “Then where are you? Why did you lie about where you’re at?”“Can you please just chase Blade, then I’ll.. talk about it.” “OKay…” She trailed off, her tone rang with skepticism. I heard muffled sounds then mumble-like sounds of her conversing with Blade, then she exchanged conversation with Blade.“When will she be back?” I heard him ask. “I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know when she does come back.” She said.“Okay, please let her knowI miss her and love her a lot.” He said and I rolled my eyes. Brian lifted a brow at me, but I shook my head, signaling for him to not bother. After his nonsense cheesy talk, I heard the door shut.Raina yelled, “W
I sucked in a deep breath and suddenly forgot how to exhale. No words could make sense at the moment, so I just splurted again, “Why are you here?”“She already mentioned that we're here on a date. Why are you here? And who the hell is this idiot?" He stepped between me and Brian, his shoulders squaring up. “T-Tone, calm down, calm down.” I let out a harsh, painful breath, my heart overworking itself.“Don’t tell me to–” "Chill, dude." Brian laughed. HOw could he seem so calm in a situation like this? This was the first time we had ever been caught in person, and he was smiling? Whereas, I had my heart going a million beats per minute. "I'm your uncle." He reiterated. “YOu’re not.”"Yes, he's Dad's brother." I quickly added and Tone's shoulder dropped, his brows still furrowed. "How do you know? We've never had anything to do with Dad's side of the family. How can you be so sure he’s related to Dad?" He drew his eyes in askance. “He is.” “That explains nothing. How did you find
"Why mom, why? Why exactly do you always call me just to give me sad news at the worst times?" I groaned. "First, you sign me up to an agency and you didn't bother to call me, but thikk about me, and just abandoned me to our misfortune, then you call me for the first time after that to deliver the worst news. "What do you expect me to do with this? How do you expect me to remain happy knowing that I could transform to a crazy monster in the next minute?"it's okay, Lyic. just calm down. I just wanted to tell you, so you're prepared, but don't worry baby we'll work it out together." Her voice was its usual raspy form ."I don't want to talk to you." I admitted. "Good night, Mom." I hung up on her, letting out a deep, harsh breath. My head felt tight. I didn't know wjat to do with the nonsense she just said. Gosh this woman knows nothing about timing. After taking a few more deep breaths, I calmed myself down and stormed back to the restaurant. Staring at the food made me lose int
He twisted the man’s hands till he fell to the floor, groaning. “Dude, what the hell? Let go!” The man groaned while Roger kept effortlessly twisting his hand beyond normal rotation. “Get your damn hands off a woman when she tells you she has a boyfriend.” He said in a low growl, pushing the man from his hold till he fell butt flat.“Darn it, what's with you?” The man spat before scuttling away, holding his wrist as he ran. Roger, smiling, turned to me. “Hey, sweetie.” My face scrunched up at that phrase. “Why are you here?”“Did you think I was kidding when I said I wanted you?” He had an annoying playful smile that made my stomach feel uneasy. “Your mate has taken my position as Alpha, not to mention what you stole from my previous pack that tagged me as a traitor, You messed up all my choices, so now I want my only desire…” He smirked, sitting on the bar stool across the counter. “You won’t ask what it is?”Deep down, I wanted to know what it was, but I huffed. “I don’t need t
"Fired?!" I knew he was mad, but was it that deep? "You can't fire me." My trembling body became more evident. A frown formed on Josh's face. "Why can't I fire you? Who the hell are you? Is that why you had the audacity to hit a customer?!" "I'm really sorry, I mean it." I pleaded, joining my quivering palms together in prayer form. "You should've been sorry before hitting my customer!" His voice was so loud, hence,he was drawing so much attention to us. Turning to Roger, his brows curled upwards. "I'm so sorry. I apologize on her behalf. It'll never happen again." "Yes, get rid of her. Your service is horrible with workers like this." Roger chose to add salt to my burning wound. I shot him a death glare and from the smirk he had on , I could tell he was trying to sabotage me on purpose. Turning to Josh, I held his hands together. "Please, I'm literally begging you. This man is my ex and is just seeking my downfall. Please, I really need this job, you know that.""I will file a
My thoughts kept racing to the she wolf at the forest. Who could it be? It was clearly someone that lived around Dentville , or someone that went to school with me. That thought sent a shudder down my spine, as I began to steal glances out my dorm window, looking around for any suspicious-looking female. It was hard to figure out who it could be, and I knew it wasn’t going to be a quick thing to know. Sighing, I stepped away to wear my shoes and dialed Brian’s phone. “Hey.”“Hey, I need to talk to you after class today.” I said to Brian immediately he answered the phone, forcing my feet into my shoes. “About what?” His voice was raspy, confirming that he either just woke up or was lacking sleep.I remained silent, my heart beginning to pound heavier than normal. Where do I start from? There was a lot to say, especially how Blade had hugged me and comforted me, then there was Roger, Emily, and she wolf, but the major news I wanted him to know about was Blade and to clear any misu
“What the heck, Bri? It was you?” I frowned. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She stuttered, her hands shaking as she quickly yanked the jacket from me, throwing it over her body again. “Oh, cut the crap. You definitely know what I mean!” I snapped and her body started to move in more obvious trembles.“I don’t–”“Girls,” our professor called, stealing the attention as we both watched him, his bag hung up to his shoulder. “It’s time to leave. I’ve gotta lock the classroom.” He stated, flashing a smile at us, one that went against the atmosphere around us. “Okay, sir.” she said and started sprinting out. I grabbed my back and hung it over my shoulder, scuttling to catch up with her. Once I stepped out, I called, “Bri!” but she pretended to not hear me and ran faster than I had ever seen her move, bumping into people on her way. Our professor walked out, flashing a smile at me as he walked past me.Forcing a smile at him, I watched Bri again and she had disappeared from m
