"Nothing has changed," Dominic said icily "We aren’t friends I have always tolerated you for Jade’s sake only I can see through you, Jeff You only want her to know because you want her to hate Aidanto hate you when she finds out what you are and what you’ve done"
Jeff bolted up from the bed Red rushed to his cheeks and he balled his fists "I haven’t done anything!"
Dominic slid off the desk and stretched lazily before he closed the distance between them "I watched you do it," he snarled and then hauled off and punched Jeff Jeff grunted and he dropped back onto the bed, out cold
CHAPTER 21
~ JADE ~
I’ since I heard Aidan drive away Marcy was sitting on the couch looking at me as if I was a nut case, and well, I probably was This wasn’t really so a olf, well, it was just funny in a sick kind of way
Once Aidan left, Marcy had proet cleaned up and then she hadaround with souys, but I wasn’t sure if I believed him When he’d said it, his heart rate had picked up, and the scent that pulsed froy and salty and it just didn’t feel … true But whether he was lying or not, didn’t really matter
I sat in Dad’s recliner, feet up, ar My sto I figured it was a for like shock
"Jade, what the hell did helike sex?" Marcy blurted out She was clasping and unclasping her hands nervously as she watched hter died fast, and my cheeks burned "Um … well … dammit, Mac, if you hadn’t shown up …" I let my words fall short, and heat flushed over my skin I didn’t want to ad in the rooht then
"You want him?" she asked, and her eyebrows shot up "After the coffee shop, you still want hiainstto chew its way out "More than ever, and I hate it He le"
"Maybe it’s part of the change," she offered I thought she was trying to be helpful but she wasn’t There was so ust in her voice that I felt sick for even considering hie, but it is norlanced at round and made his way over to sit with Marcy He had scrubbed the dried blood off his face and had replaced his torn sweater with one of my dad’s zip-up hoodies
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Marcy shouted
"Mac, I’ve had a bad day," Trevor snapped "Don’t push me" He went to put his arm around her and she s up fro down at hi after soht to treat oddamn selfish, Trevor, and answer h I wanted to juot ht And for her to finally tell off Trevor, well, I had never thought it would happen Her petite frame was all puffed out, and she balled her fists She looked as if she was ready to haul off and punch hiet a bit crazy," Trevor said, looking up at her with barely concealed rage He held her stare for a moment before he shifted it toto hi," Marcy said with a noisy huff She dropped down beside Trevor again, and this time when he tried to pull her into his arms, she let him, but then that was Marcy She didn’t kno to stay mad, and Trevor knew it I was a bit disappointed
"Why did Erika come after me and why did she call me her alpha?" I asked, once they were settled Marcy cuddled into his side and rested her cheek on his chest as if she hadn’t just blown up at him
"She did?" Trevor asked, as if his brain couldn’t understand what I was saying
"Yeah, and Aidan kind of freaked out about it He said I wasn’t an alpha and I needed to learn ot to be kidding roan Aidan, threatened? I didn’t believe it Not for a second
Trevor shook his head and chuckled again "You don’t get it You make him nervous You make all of us nervous Even before you were bitten, you’ve always projected power You’ve always been dominant It’s why you’ve never been recruited Ray didn’t want someone ould stand up to hied, you’d make your way into the alpha pair"
