Chapter 18
“What do you mean?” I ask
him as we walk towards the
field.
“I know I told you that you didn’t have to stay with me
but now I think that you
should,” Colt says.
“No. Why?” As we walk
towards Lauren, people
around us stare. I am sure
gossip has started.
“Because Cass…when Ezra
jumped at you in the war room, he was trying to mark
you.”
“What!?”
“And I don’t think he is going
to stop.”
I narrow my eyes at him. “Are you just saying this to get me to stay with you?”
“No. I am not. I am really
concerned.” I can see it on
his face. He is telling the
truth.
“What is going on?” Lauren
asks walking up to us.
“People are talking about you
two.”
I sigh. “A lot has happened.”
“Cass, I think I have to talk to
my dad again. Don’t go anywhere by yourself. Stay with your sister until I come
back.” Colt says.
“Okay, okay. Go.” I tell him.
“I mean it, Cass.”
I give him an irritated nod.
He is fussing a bit too much.
After he leaves, I tell Lauren
everything that happened.
“What the hell?! Now Ezra
wants you?! What a f**king prick!” she says.
I nod agreeing with her but
she looks at me with
concern. “How do you feel
about that?”
“I feel nothing other than anger. I told you. I have no feelings towards him. No good feelings anyway.”
“Are you sure? He is your
mate.”
“I am sure, Lauren. That ship has sailed. I want nothing
with him.”
“And with Colt?”
At that question, I pause. “I
don’t know.”
“You seem comfortable with
him right now.”
“I am…I think I am. I like
him but if I am honest, I am afraid. What if he changes
his mind, also I still don’t
understand why is he even
interested in me like that. He
wasn’t before all those years
ago.”
“Well, he had a mate then.”
“True…”
As we talk, two girls
whispering walk by us staring at me.
“Come on. Let’s go home
where we can talk in private. And I have some things I
want to show you.” She says
looking excited.
When we get home, Lauren
immediately gets out
something from a bag.
“Tada!”
“Oh! That’s so cute! Did you
make them?” I ask her.
She holds small knitted baby
booties.
“Yes! Obviously, we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy so I made them in yellow and
greens but look how cute
“And what if it’s a boy?” I ask.
“James.” She says and looks unamused. I laugh even
harder now.
“Yeah, I get to push the baby out and he thinks he is going
to name it? Nope.”
“Name what?” James asks
walking in.
“The baby,” I say and he
smiles.
“Princess and James!” He says
with a cheer.
“No! We have not decided on
this!” Lauren points a finger
at him.
I laugh.
He sprints toward her and
picks her up, twirling her
around. “We will see about
this, boss lady!”
I smile watching them. They are so in love. I always wanted something like they have but my own love story
turned out to be a bit
different. To have a loving
mate is all a werewolf
dreams about. My dreams
were shattered a long time
ago.
They start k*ssing and I know that is my queue. I get up and go to my room where I stare at my stuff and debate whether Colt is being too
rash. I don’t want to leave
yet. And even more, I don’t
want to just stay with him.
We have had a few nice
moments but I still don’t know the guy.
As I am thinking this, I hear a commotion in the living
room. I immediately come
out and see Ezra and Kaecy. They both look out of
breath.
“I couldn’t stop him,” Kaecy
says.
“Listen to me…” Ezra says.
I back away as he takes a step towards me.
“Stay away,” I say.
“Wait. Just, listen. Let me…let me…” We can all tell that he
doesn’t know what to say.
“What is going on?” James
asks, looking at all of us. He
is completely lost.
“Alpha Ezra, let’s sit and talk,”
Lauren says with a calm
voice. She looks at me. “We
can do that, right?” I can tell
that she is concerned and so
am I. If I say no, I feel like he might do something stupid.
I nod.
Kaecy holds Ezra’s shoulder
and takes him to sit next to him. Lauren and James sit on the sofa in front of his
and I do the same though I stay at the furthest side.
Ezra’s eyes are on me like a
hawk.
“So, what brings you here, Alpha Ezra?” Lauren asks.
He doesn’t say anything and
they turned out!”
I clap with excitement. “I
can’t wait till he or she is
here! How excited is James?”
“Oh my gosh! He won’t stop talking about it. He is already looking for names.”
I laugh. “What does he have
in mind?”
Oh, Goddess! Don’t get me
started. He wants to name
her princess if it’s a girl. Like
actually name her princess.”
I start laughing.
“It’s ridiculous!”
