Thanks the goddess for that because it was headed to my face. 1 st a g g e r on my foot and nearly go crashing to the ground when Caden wraps his fingers around my upper arm to pulls me back up. “Focus on your footing,” he says, letting go of my arm. “What’s up with day? Gett the cloud, otherwise you’re going to get yourself killed.” head out of His words hit me and I hide a pout by turning my gaze to the ground. I have to admit that for the past few days, I’ve managed to suck so bad. Almost as bad as when I started training and that’s saying something because those days were terrible.
“Maybe you aren’t getting enough sleep,” he says pointedly, eyeing me with a knowing look in those green orbs. No, it’s impossible. There’s no way that he knows what I’ve been doing alone in the dark for the past few days. Absolutely no way. My mouth falls open and no words come out as I stutter. Does he know? He smirks at the look on my face, definitely enjoying seeing me squirm under his gaze. “I get enough sleep. I manage to push out the words that feel like chalk on my tongue, too scared to think of the possibility of him knowing. I won’t be able to live with myself if he does. How will be able to look. him in the face again if that happens to be the truth? “Is that so?” He arches his brow in question. “You don’t do anything that take up your time before going
to bed?” The question seems too specific for him to be going out on a limb here? Does he know? Did he hear something last night? That couldn’t be possible, I always make sure that my voice is low. There’s no way he heard it up in his room…unless he was standing directly outside my door. “That’s it for today,” Caden says, stopping my train of thought. “We’ll continue tomorrow. Hopefully, you’ll be well rested by then. I expect a better performance tomorrow.” He throws one last disapproving glance at me before walking away to meet f u c k i n g Julianna who’s waving her hand widely in the air to get his attention. Why does that bit c h always need his help? At this point, she might just be worse than me. I roll my eyes hard enough for it to get stuck behind my head as Caden wraps his arm around her to show her how to throw a punch at the punching bag in front of her. Isn’t that what she still wanted the previous day? MBGM Chapter 44 it I turn my gaze away from them to prevent myself from doing something I’ll regret. I wouldn’t put past my wolf to take control and rip the bit c h’s head off her neck, then parade it around the house like it’s a trophy. My wolf howls at that idea trying to get me to see the bright side of it. It seems Julianna brings out the violent side of my wolf. I shake my head and start making my way out of the training grounds to head to the pack house and take a much-needed cold bath to help loosen my sore muscles. In the pack house, a few people are roaming around but most of them are either still at the training grounds or in school. I passed through the house undetected with no one stopping me to ask where Caden and I had been in the previous weeks.
Those occurances have been happening far more than I like. I obviously knew that rumors were going to arise after our disappearance but I never expected it to get to the extent. And I thought for sure that it would have died out by this time. Instead, it seems to have intensified. I’m actually getting stopped by people that I’ve previously never exchanged a word with. Sneaking into my room, I close the door behind me and breathe out a sigh of relief at my successful escape. I walk into the middle of the room and grip the end of my skin-tight shirt to pull it over my head when something comes to mind. If Caden wasn’t standing outside my door then the only other way he would have figured out what I’ve been up to is if- My hands drop down, pulling my shirt back on as I look around the room with wide eyes. Did Caden bug my room? I glance around the room, looking for anything sticking out of a wiring or behind a picture frame. Basically anything suspicious or standing out of place. When I come up short with nothing, I shake my head, pushing away that idea out of my head. I would like to think that I would have noticed if I had been watched. I definitely would have…right? My paranoid mind doesn’t let me strip down in the room though. Instead, I go to the bathroom and get naked there with the door locked. I want to shake my head at my silly self but the question of ‘what if” hangs at the back of my head, hovering just out of reach. I soak up in the bathtub for what could have been hours and insanely, I wrap a towel around my body and walk into the room to pick out what to wear. Then I walk back into the bathroom to get dressed there. At dinner, I sit with Jake, and like usual, I try to ignore Caden’s gaze digging into the side of our head. By the time dinner is over and I’ve headed back up to my room, all thoughts of a hidden camera in my room. are gone.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
