Chapter 209
The kids are all staying with Maria and Derek. He insisted on not getting involved because it would appear to show favoritism. I think he wants to sit back and hang out with my father–in–law. They’ve been really friendly with one another lately. It’s why the media is accusing us of influencing his court decisions, I think they’re both just like–minded assholes, along with Knight and Jonas.
After calling a meeting this morning, Ansley took over for Knight who hasn’t taken his eyes off her. He seems upset, and she’s completely ignoring him. I’ve been making assumptions all morning. I’m not sure how I would feel if they were true.
Midnight has been very quiet about it since I asked. That worries me because she usually doesn’t shut up when I ask her seemingly important things. She’s only calm when she doesn’t like to talk about things. Like her past lives and things that she’s shown me that have repeated themselves here with
“We should get moving,” Ansley says and walks toward her
“I’ll come with you,” I say and step forward.
“Why me?” she asks defensively. Knight growls at her.
“You’re the alpha. It makes more sense for us to present a united front than for me and the Rogue King. You’re the one who put him in the back.” I remind her and get into he passenger seat of her car.
-This is not going to end well, Angel.- Knight says in my head.
-This is the only chance I will ever give her.- I say quietly. I glance back
at him to see the worry fade into sadness. -It was never your place to tell me.-
He nods and walks toward the back of the convoy of SUVs. takes her a moment before she gets in the car. His reaction told me everything I needed to know. Midnight finally makes her presence known.
-You have to be prepared to accept what she’s going to say.- she whispers. -I’ve heard it many times. I know you’ve felt that sting as well. We have everything we need.-
How would it even work? The most obvious thing is that she is a woman. I’ve never been attracted to any woman. In fact, I never liked being around them. It started with my step–mother. We hated one another. She set an example for others. My teachers, doctors, and the girls at school all treated me the way they did because that’s what they knew.
Things have gotten worse since becoming a werewolf. Xo hurt me the most. I saw her as a mentor, someone who was helping me piece my shitty life together. She hurt my baby and turned away from me when I needed her. And it’s always been that way for me. That’s why I struggle to make friends. Allison was no different, apparently. So, yeah. I have felt that sting many times.
“I wanted to thank you for coming,” I break the silence. She stiffens, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
“My father calls and I follow orders,” she says stiffly. “You don’t have to thank me. Thank him.”
“I wanted to ask you something, if that’s okay with you,”
“What?” she glances at me.
“Why did you try to kill me when you thought I was sleeping with your dad?” I ask. Her gasp is audible. “You clearly don’t care about what either he does or your brother. It felt very personal. Your entire demeanor towards me does. If you have something to tell me. You should get it out now before we’re forced to work together.”
“You annoy me,” she shrugs. “And I do care what happens to my family. It’s one thing for them to take advantage of others, and it’s another for others to take advantage of them. After all, they are still men and the only thing they think with is their cock.”
“Is that why you can’t reject me to my face, because I annoy you?” Lask.
The car swerves to the right. The tires make a loud zip sound just before she rights the truck again. I laugh because this is one of those fucked up situations where I have nothing else but my nervous laughing.

“Did he tell you that?”
“No, but you make it obvious. My wolf likes staying away from you, which is odd to me because she always wants to know if someone is a friend of a
There still is, but I’ve learned to cope with the pace, snack. I didn’t pick up on it before because there was always so much going on.
“You can’t understand,” she huffs.
“What exactly? That it’s insane that your mate is a female?”
“I’ve had girlfriends,” she shakes her head.
“So, Knight is the problem. You don’t want to share with him.”
“Do you
know what you’re saying?” she asks.
