NovelUpdateChapter 0511 - Cleo - "Then she suits Jace after all because he's done exactly the same." Jaxon laughs out, but in no way is his comment meant as playful banter.
He's not even trying to hide the snide remark laced within his words.
Nobody can help themselves, all eyes snapping towards him, then back to Jace.
An unsteady energy settles across the table as Jace stands, his chair violently bouncing on the floor behind him. An eery growl emitting from him towards his brother.
It manages to shaketo my core; the way he loves her, the way he will protect her.
Even against his own family, and hers.
Both brothers glare daggers at one another, both standing at full height...their spines stretching and their chests puffing out.
One sudden movement and any one of them will lunge for the other.
I've never seen them like this...never. I glance to Josie who is just as perplexed by her brother's behaviour towards one another.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnox making the protective move to pull her back away from the table and place an arm over the back of her chair...nesting her into his side.
I wasn't there during the fight between Josie and Kaia, the hunters, and the attacking pack.
Ares and I were placed safely in hiding with all the rest of the underage wolves, and those too old to fight.
But from what I've been told, Josie and Kaia would be quite capable of pulling both males apart.
"Jace." Callie's hand snakes around Jace's, her calming voice calling out to him.
The only thing that seems to calm him and it works. His eyes linger down upon her for what feels like an eternity before he sits back down...his eyes lifting up slowly towards me.
I search his eyes for any emotion, any feeling towardsthat he can't say out loud, not in front of her... but all I receive back is a cold stare.
He has no remorse for what he has done to me.
All he needs to do is listen, listen to my heart to hear there is another. That's all it would take, but with the glare that seems only reserved for me...do I want him around my child. Do I want him to be a part of our future, this hateful eyes looking atevery the comes to visit.
"I think I had better serve the starter... Josie?" Kaia breaks the tension by heading towards the kitchen, calling upon Josie for assistance.
If my legs allowed me, I would help, without even being asked. But I don't think I can.
"Coming Mum." Josie moves towards the kitchen, but not before shooting both brothers a scathing look. "So...Cleo, tellabout your plans?" Alpha Bill's voice pulls my eyes down the length of the table, near towards where Jaxon was sitting. "My plans?" I repeat, my eyes finally focusing on the Alpha.
Callie looks so much like him, from her deliciously tanned skin to her silky black hair.
"Do you plan to stay at your pack or go elsewhere?" "Well that would all depend on whether she finds her mate Bill." Luna Louise answers on my behalf, taking a slow sip on her wine glass.
I watch her for a moment before answering...I don't really know how to answer. Any future plans are not on hold for the foreseeable future.
"Cleo has no plans to leave, she is staying with us for as long as I can keep her." Dad responds for me, leaning forward to givea reassuring smile from his seat.
en "Ah, a daddy's girl I see." "You better believe it." SW swr I manage to keep down the starter, which consisted of a mixture of platters, thankfully it allowedto help myself.
But with no appetite I ended up nibbling on a breadstick; not helping myself too much.
When it was tfor the main meal, Callie walks out towards the kitchen to join Kaia and Josie.
I watch her leave, catching Jaxon's eyes on me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer walk is so confident, she's so comfortable just walking into their kitchen...like she's lived here her entire life.
I move when Maya nudges next to me, turning to look at her she points her head towards Jace, who is watching Jaxon intently, who continues to watch me.
"Here it is...Beef Wellington!" Callie announces carrying a tray which she places down in the middle of the table, in front of her and Jace. It was like a wedding banquet and them, the two love birds, together on the top table.
"Erm plates Mum?" Josie calls out as she walks in with further platters of roast potatoes and vegetables.
"Ah yes, coming. They are in the oven to keep them warm." Kaia
responds only to return moments later carrying hot plates with ease in her bare hands. She passes each plate out, to each person sitting at the table...each one taking their plate within their bare hands. Because they are werewolves and cannot feel the hotness of the plates...if I wasn't pregnant I would be doing exactly the sthing.
I'm praying for her to skip me, internally willing her to not pass it over the table but to plate it in front of me.
No such luck.
Kaia reaches through Jace and Callie, a smile upon her face as she passes a plate to me.
I freeze, as soon as I take it I know my fingers will burn. I'm a werewolf, such a thing shouldn't happen to me, it will open up to questioning.
