Chapter 320I was sat staring into space when Jake got home. Too busy thinking about Carter and playing scenarios over in my head before they had even happened. Jake wasn’t alone he had brought Alanna with him.”Hey girl”. She sat herself beside me.”You do realise the tv is on mute right?”.”You have to go with him. You can’tlet him do this on his own”. My eyes landed on hers.”It’s not fair and you know it”.”I’m thinking about it. I have untilMonday”.I made a face. He was her mate, her life, they shared a bond. Was there much to think about. I could feel my heart racing. Carter was my family, myblood and right now he was pulling the short straw.He wanted to make everyone happy but if she decided not to go it will ruin him.”What would you say if I was in thissituation with Jake?”. I got off the sofa l felt the need to create some space. “You’d beg me to go right?”.”Leah I-…”.”He’s your fucking mate and youhave to think about whether you want to go be with him or not?”. I was getting worked up, too worked up for something that was nothing to do with me, but I was pissed off.”Hey what’s going on?”. Jake was infront of me taking my hands in his.w𝓌𝑤.𝓝𝕠𝗩ℯ𝓛𝓌𝓞⒭⒨.𝘤𝕠⒨”Let go of me”. I pulled them backand moved away from him.”He’s trying to make everyone happy, but he can’t. He has to go home because it’s the right thing to do. The least you can do is support him”. It wasn’t until I tasted the saltiness of my tears that I realised I was crying.
Angry tears, tears of frustration because she didn’t have the balls to move away from her family. Carter was her family too.”I’m sorry I didn’t mean-…”.”Get out of my house”. I yelled angrilywiping at my cheeks. I was shaking on the inside, and I could feel her. My wolf had woken within me and was scratching at the surface to get out.I couldn’t control it, nor did I want to. I closed my eyes took a deep breath and when I opened them,I was staring outof the eyes of my wolf.Hackles up, teeth bared I snarled before darting through the house and going straight through the patio doors. I ran for the woods and didn’t stop until I was being pinned to the ground his teeth sinking into my neck.A how l fell from my lips followed by a cry before my body went limp. He wanted submission so that’s what I gave him. My intention wasn’t to shift,I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but I was angry.Alanna was a hypocrite and Carter was getting the shit end of the stick. If the roles were reversed and I was in this situation I know she would be telling me to go. Filling my head with the whole I wouldn’t be able to live without my mate.Pot kettle black.He shifted in front of me shorts strapped to his ankle like always but the minute he got close I growled. I wasn’t angry at him, but I was angry, and I couldn’t seem to let it go. All he would tell me was it was none of my business, but it was when it came to my family.𝘄𝕨𝕨.𝓃ó𝘃𝔢𝕝𝓌𝗢r𝑚.𝗖𝕠𝗺He was doing the same thing with Alanna. Telling her she didn’t need to go if she didn’t want to. Someone had to fight for Carter and that was me.He took a step back and was surprisingly calm. Watching him I turned my head to the side and whined before laying my head on my paws.”Are you in control?”. He spoke.
