Chapter 140
Taking the pickle from my burger I shoved it into my mouth. We hadn’t spoken about what happened earlier. I had never seen him like that before. He had been pissed, angry but today was something else. But still I wasn’t afraid of him. If anything it only made me want him more. He was dangerous and I liked it. Running my fingers over my neck a shiver ran through my body at how sensitive it made me feel. “That’s just a taste baby p>
“Huh?”. I didn’t realise he was watching me.
“Once you wear my mark you’ll see p>
“Is everyone going to be there tonight?”. A pack meeting was being held and I had to attend.
“She’s still part of our pack Leah but I heard you put her in her place”. He smirked.
I liked that he said our pack.
“I did”. Taking a sip of my coke I could feel his stare. He wanted to know exactly what happened. “I found her in your bed p>
“What?”. His teeth clenched.
“I did what I did and I don’t regret it. She’s lucky I didn’t throttle her”. A laugh fell from his lips as he started the car. “I’m pretty sure you’d have done much worse if you found someone in my bed”. “They’d be dead Leah p>
See much worse.
“Can I say something and promise you won’t get mad?”. He nodded his head for me to continue. “I don’t think Rocco is a threat p>
“Rocco?”. His grip tightened. “You’re on first term names with a rogue”. He spat.
“You promised you wouldn’t get mad p>
“I lied now stay the f**k away from him p>
That was that.
The rest of the car ride home was quiet. I knew he was still pissed, he hadn’t looked at me since we left the beach. Taking a sip of my coke I finished off my fries.
“Are you going to hurt them?”. I asked as we pulled into his driveway.
“If they are a threat to my family, a threat to you then I’ll do more than hurt them”. The car came to a stop. How was he going to find out if they were a threat? The hadn’t done anything wrong. “If he wanted to hurt me he would have”. Unclipping my seatbelt he grabbed a hold of my hand.
“Until I know you stay away from him. Am I clear p>
“Crystal”. Taking my hand back I opened the door and got out. Alanna and Carter pulled in behind us.
“Hey girl”. Alanna grinned.
“Bear”. Carter nodded.
“Hi”. I wasn’t really sure why they were here. The pack meeting wasn’t until tonight. Carter was talking with Jake, Alanna slipped her arm through mine as we walked up the path. “We need a night out”. She whispered.
I doubt he would let me out of his sight right now. “Good luck convincing him”. Alanna put her key in the lock and opened the door.
“I’m feeling a little bit of tension. You guys arguing again?”. We entered the house walking through the living room and into the kitchen. “What makes you think that?”. I rolled my eyes. “We’re not arguing we just have different opinions p>
“You need to fuck p>
“Alanna p>
“It’s true. F**k all that tension away, you need an o m. When was the last time you had one?”. She opened the fridge pulling out two beers.
“It’s been a while”. I took the beer from her. “I’m not sure I remember what it feels like”. I laughed. We had been so close but every time we tried to fool around someone interrupted us and killed the mood. “You need to get laid”. She smirked.
“I could walk in front of him naked and he still wouldn’t fuck me. What’s so special about the full moon?”. Taking a sip of my beer she shook her head giving me the look.
I knew now to shut my mouth.
“I hear you got your dress”. She grinned as Jake and Carter walked in. Oh she was good but it wouldn’t surprise me if he already heard what I said.
“Everyone will be here around 7. 30. I need you here with me just in case”. He bypassed us and headed towards his office. Carter following behind him.
He was completely focused on tonight.
“He really likes Carter”. Alanna’s voice knocked me out my thoughts. “And you’ve no idea how happy I am about that p>
“Doesn’t really have a choice though does he?”. I said. Carter was my family, if Jake didn’t like him that wouldn’t really go down so well. “Mated to his sister, cousins with his mate p>
“Yeah that wouldn’t matter to Jake”. Of course it wouldn’t. The king pin doesn’t seem to like anyone.
“So what happens at these meeting p>
“We haven’t had one in a while, we haven’t needed to. Just show up, pretend you’re listening, nod your head a few times and it’ll be over before you know it”. “Great p>
