six."
"Okay. I should
be able get my homework done by then."
"Anything
happen?"
"In school?" He
nods. "No, it's school."
"Why don't you
have friends?" He asks. I shrug, Beta Holden must have told him. I
might not be good at making friends, but he made it impossible.
Most of the pack thinks he doesn’t want anyone interacting with me.
"Answer me." He says, pulling into my driveway.
"I'm not good at
making friends and with your rules not to talk or touch me, I think
most just wanted to avoid me all together and still do."
He growls. "You
were with those girls last Saturday."
"They're Marta's
friends."
"Things will
change. Now, that they know you’re mine."
"At least the
rumors about me and Liam will stop." I chuckle.
"Why would there
be rumors about the two of you?"
"Well, I made him
eat with me today. So, that got the rumor mill started." I explain,
rolling my eyes.
He stares at me.
"You shared a meal together?" He looks calm, but his question gets
my heart racing.
"Yeah."
"You shared a
meal with my beta and called him Liam." He states.
"Yes." I reply,
cautiously. Not really thinking it was a question.
"Are you trying
to piss me off?"
"No! I just told
you why. I don't have any friends. I just didn't want to sit
alone."
He closes his
eyes trying to calm himself down. I guess I can't talk or sit with
anyone. Is this what my life is going to be like? Walking on egg
shells.
"Did you see
Tom?"
I tense up. "I
saw him when I was leaving school."
"Did you speak to
him?"
"I told him hi
and said sorry for his neck."
"Sorry, for his
neck?" He growls.
I gulp. "Yes, it
looked like it really hurt." I say, quietly. I see my answer hasn't
calmed him down. Why does he make me feel like I should know
better? That talking to Liam was unacceptable and talking to Tom
was inconceivable in his mind.
"Stay away from
the both of them."
I feel the tears
well in my eyes. It's not that I'm hurt, but I'm so frustrated. I
feel like I'm constantly doing something wrong. I turn away from
him and open the truck door. He tells me to wait but I don't
listen. I'm afraid my tears will fall. I keep my head down as he
steps beside me.
"Did you not hear
me?"
"I heard you." I
answer, still walking. His hands stops me from walking further. "I
have a lot of homework." I mutter.
"I'll be here at
six." He reminds me. I nod and walk around him. I walk in the house
and close the door, running up the stairs to my room
What an
Asshole
Alpha Lennox
Hall
I'm such a
fucking asshole! I think to myself throwing open the doors of my
office. I keep screwing everything up. My temper and jealousy are
at an all-time high. A very deadly mix. I want Jocelyn to make
friends, I just rather it be with other she-wolves. I'm not used to
her sweetness. She's so good and pure, she doesn't know what other
men think of her. I don't know what it is but it's like she doesn't
think of herself as attractive, that she's lacking. I know her
father has something to do with it. I haven't heard him say
anything offensive to her since the first day we met.
I can't hold back
my wolf with her. I feel even more possessive since last night. I
thought about her all day, I could barely concentrate on work. I
know I can't keep her from talking to other people but damn it! Did
she have to talk to the mother fucker I almost killed? She felt bad
for him! He should have kept his mouth shut! He disrespected me as
his Alpha. What did she expect me to do?
I know I owe her
an apology. I don't mind her talking to Liam. I did at first
because if he was sitting with her at lunch that means he wasn't
watching for any threats. I want him to avoid any possible danger,
not be with her if anything happens. I need to put an Enforcer on
her. Liam can be her friend but not if he's going to stop doing his
job.
I upset her by
getting mad, she didn't seem scared. More like she was irritated
with me. Of course she had every reason to be. I'll make it up to
her. I just need her to realize that until
