Chapter 145

I sat in the bed feeling angry as hell, I didn’t follow Ethan and Xavier to the cells because I wanted nothing more than to hit Ethan. And I would’ve so I just went back to our room. The door opened and Ethan walked in, looking tense and angry. I forced myself not to soften, I was angry too. Ethan got in bed and sighed, looking up at the ceiling “let it out”
“You didn’t even listen to me” I immediately snapped at him “I told you to calm down so we can asess the situation and you didn’t even bother. For god’s sake Ethan the girl looked scared out ofher mind.”
“She’s a rogue”
“She is harmless.” I said “I know after everything we’ve suffered from rogues you hate them and I do too but Ethan she couldn’t hurt me even if she tried and no rogue in his or her right mind would go into a pack house alone”
“What did you want me to do, huh?” he looked angry now as he sat up “just let her go? So she could give other rogues whatever information she was here for?or maybe give her a room at the pack house so she’d be comfortable.” he was shaking with anger, his eyes darkening “I’m the apha of this pack and I have to protect it and everyone in it.”
“I’m alpha too and I know my duties but you completely ignored what I had to say on the matter, Ethan. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have told you to put her in the cells because I would’ve. But you were too rough, the girl looked like she would pass out at any moment.” I told him, knowing he didn’t just act the way he did because of his alpha duties but because of what happened to me with the rogues. “Not everything is black and white, Ethan. She seems harmless.”
“Just like Melissa seemed harmless, right? And you were so right about that” I blinked at him, not believing he had said that. That was a low blow and he knew it. I laid back down on the bed and turned my back to him.
“Lily I-”
“I want to sleep, Ethan”
Ethan sighed, knowing he wouldn’t be talking to me anytime tonight and I felt the bed shift as he laid down. “Goodnight, Lily.” I could tell he felt bad and wanted to say something but he knew me too well and knew it would get him nowhere.
I laid there seething just wanting to hit him, he could be such an idiot at times and I know he only reacted so harshly was because he was scared, because he blamed himself for what happened before and that made me angrier because it was just so idiotic that he’d think that. I closed my eyes with a sigh, knowing that tomorrow would be an interesting day.

Ethan
“Look who’s back!” I said as Jacob, the twins, Keith, and Adrian walked in the pack house. “How was the meeting?”
The group had been on an update meeting with Alpha Kyle. Our packs had an alliance and we needed to get together at lease once every few months for updates in case any of the pack was in need. I couldn’t go this time because there was an issue in the pack Lily and I needed to fix.
“it was good, their pack is as good as ever. Alpha Kyle found his mate” Keith said throwing himself on the couch
“Oh that’s good” Lily said as she came down the stairs, she kissed all the boys’ cheeks “how is she?”
“Shy” Jacob answered with a shrug “She seemed more relaxed with her mate, of course. But I guess being human and finding out about werewolves and being an alpha’s mate is a factor in that shyness”
“Well I’m glad Kyle found someone” Lily said with a nod, she threw herself down on the couch and put her legs on Xavier’s lap where he sat next to Ren before adding nonchalantly “A rogue broke into the pack house yesterday night”
Immediately the mood turned from relaxed to tensed. I knew all of the guys were thinking back to the fight we had with the rogues a couple of years ago.
“found her in the kitchen when i went down to get a drink of water. She seemed harmless really and from what I got of her she just wanted to get an apple. Then Ethan came down and took her to the cells. We figured we’d wait for you guys before questioning her since it was the middle of the night.”
“She didn’t attack you? And what rogue with a sane mind would go in a pack house to get an apple. No way, I think she thought she could sneak up, maybe to do some damage or just to get some information” Jacob said standing up ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ.net
