Chapter 159
“Hey I’m on your side but he is still my brother p>
Drying myself off I about turned slipping my pj shorts on before I dropped the towel. Pulling the shirt over my head I faced her. “What do you want me to say Rylee?”. “It’s sad that it’s came down to this. He’s lost the best thing he’ll ever have”. She pulled out her phone.
“Yes and he’s to blame. I have no part in this, I’m not at fault here p>
“Can you at least talk to him?”. She was typing away on her phone. “Even let him explain p>
“Has West arrived yet?”. That caught her attention, her head snapping up in my direction.
“He’s staying at my moms p>
“Why haven’t you accepted him?”. Why didn’t she want to be mated?
Her features changed, her frown evident. “Because he did to me what Jake did to you. Only he did much worse. I was young, I was fourteen when I first met him”. “So the whole giving up your freedom was bullshit?”. I asked.
“West is 4 years older than me. I was a stupid, spotty, fat kid. He was next in line to be Alpha, he couldn’t be seen with the likes of me p>
“You’re mates an Alpha p>
“From the neighbouring pack”. She smiled. “No one knew but Jake, he’s my twin so of course he knew. He didn’t reject me and I didn’t reject him but he didn’t want me either”. She shrugged. “No wonder you haven’t accepted him. I wouldn’t either”. Poor Rylee.
“He graduated from high school and left for college. The day I graduated high school was the day he returned p>
I was so engrossed in her story. I didn’t like that she had been hurt but I loved that she was a strong, independent woman.
“He just up and left?”. I frowned.
“He didn’t need me when he was getting it from everywhere else. I learned to live without him. After all I was just a kid”. “What happened at graduation p>
“He was coming back to take his place, his dad stepping down. My dad and his were old friends, they grew up together p>
“Go on p>
She laughed as I sat on the end of my bed. “I didn’t know he was back home. I wasn’t the same kid I was when he left. I had blossomed everywhere possible, I was 18 p>
“What did he do when he saw you p>
“He showed up to my graduation party with a pretty little blond on his arm p>
“He didn’t?”. I gasped.
“Oh he did and Jake being Jake flipped his lid. West wasn’t aware that anyone knew we were mates but I didn’t keep anything from Jake. It was pointless, he always knew when something was wrong”. “What happened p>
“Everyone found out who my mate was. It wasn’t a pleasant night. The next again day I packed up my stuff and left without looking back. He’s been after me ever since p>
“He’s been chasing you for 6 years p>
“Not exactly”. She grinned. “I’ve seen him here and there but I still hold a little grudge p>
“You’ve known who you mate is for ten years and you’re still not mated. How do you do it p>
“With great difficulty. He’s becoming impatient now, wants me to finally submit and settle down”. “Has he been faithful p>
“I waited so long for him to finally want me. For him to finally see that I was a woman and not a stupid child. He let me move, let me graduate university but the minute I turned 21 he was on my case”. “Wow p>
“I couldn’t date, couldn’t have a sex life, barely had a life. He was everywhere and if it wasn’t him it was someone from his pack”. “Really p>
“Yes really and now he’s staying at my moms and I’ve been avoiding him since Sunday morning p>
“Don’t you want him p>
“Want him?”. She laughed. “I fucking love the prick but I’m too stubborn for my own good. I’m making him wait that little bit longer.

I was blown away by her story.
“So you haven’t slept with anyone p>
“I couldn’t”. She shrugged. “It didn’t feel right p>
“Buts he done it p>
“He’s a man they would have s*x with a hole in the floor”. A laugh fell from my lips. She was right about that one.
“You’re amazing”. I grinned. “Thank you for coming over p>
“Whatever happens I’m only a phone call away. I know he’s a prick and he’s done wrong but just think real hard before you make any drastic decisions”. “I’ll try p>
“My moms asking to see you. Can I tell her you’ll drop by tomorrow p>
“I don’t know Rylee”. I don’t think I could handle his mom if she were to get upset.
“She missed you at dinner today p>
“You’re making me feel really bad p>
“I’m sorry just take the time you need but remember we’re family now. Don’t be a stranger p>
As soon as Rylee left I locked the doors and went straight to bed. Tomorrow was another day. The only good thing being my gran coming home.
It was hot, too hot.
Blinking my eyes open I froze at the weight of his arm wrapped around my waist. I was snug against him, my back to his chest.
No!
Was I dreaming?
No he wasn’t getting to do this. Removing his arm from my waist I turned around nudging his shoulder. He wasn’t staying here. I didn’t want him here. How did he get in?
A groan fell from his lips his arm searching the bed for me. I moved so fast I almost fell over my feet. He wasn’t getting away with this so easily. I wasn’t just going to forgive him.
“I know you’re awake”. I crossed my arms over my chest.
“Get back in this bed now”. He grumbled.
“Get out of my house Jake. You shouldn’t be here”. I hissed.
“You want me here princess p>
“I’m serious Jake. Get out of my house now p>
His eyes snapped open, he moved so fast, his hands firmly gripping my hips. I swallowed the lump that had appeared in my throat. I didn’t want to see him. “Please leave”. I whispered turning my head so I didn’t have to look at him.
“Not until we sort this and fucking look at me when I’m talking to you p>
I grit my teeth. How dare he think this was okay? Turning my head my eyes locked with his. “There’s nothing to fix especially not tonight. I need for you to leave p>
How could he still act like this when he was the one that was in the wrong. He didn’t have a right to be angry. “Just leave me alone please. I can’t bare to be near you right now”. It was to much. I didn’t realise how I would feel around him. It was unbearable and I was finding it hard to stay mad at him.
“Babe p>
“Please it’s all I ask”. I chewed the inside of my cheek begging myself not to cry.
“I’m so sorry baby p>
“Please just go”. I moved slightly putting some space between us. I couldn’t look at him any longer. Turning my back on him the tears fell from my eyes.
“Baby p>
“Please”. I couldn’t hold it in any longer. A sob fell from my lips, my body shaking.
“I don’t want to leave you like this”. He whispered.
“I-Im fine”. I croaked. “Just leave, get out”. Still I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.
He left and as soon as he did a cry fell from my lips. I hated that he did this to me. He broke the trust that we had and for what a quick fix?
Crawling into bed I wrapped my covers up and around my neck. My heart hurt, my body hurt and I was physically and emotionally drained. Jake Taylor had broke my heart.
