CHAPTER 26

“Hi. I was wondering where you were. I went to your mother’s house earlier but no one was there.” Ethan explained.

“I’ve been staying here. Mom and I aren’t exactly on the best of terms right now.” I say leaning on the kitchen island in the

middle of the room.

“How do you two know each other?”

Jackson asked taking a step closer. But he

wasn’t fooling me. He stepped between

me and Ethan so that we weren’t directly

in front of each other.

“Ethan was the head warrior at

Richmond Pack while I was there. Taught me everything I know.” I say with a hint of undertone to make Jackson question

what Ethan had taught me.

“That scent. I knew I recognised your

scent.” Jackson says looking at Ethan, and not in a nice way. I could hear a slight growl coming up from his throat and

Ethan looked at me in confusion and a little fear. He was clueless to the whole

situation.

I couldn’t believe that Jackson was reacting like that when he was meant to be my mate but wouldn’t acknowledge me as his mate just yet. It was completely ridiculous to me and I just rolled my eyes

behind his back.

“He’s the one that you went to go and see before I took you from that pack. He’s the one that you were sleeping with in Richmond Pack.” Jackson growled out.

“Yes. He was. Until I left the pack and I

tried to call him numerous time and he

ignored me.” I say taking the food to the counter and I started making dinner.

“I left the pack the day after you did. I got

accepted for that training camp. I wasn’t allowed a phone.” Ethan says. And I

stopped what I was doing and I turned to

look at him.

“What?” I asked confused.

“I told you about that intense training program that I applied for. I got in, I just didn’t know how to tell you. But then you came to me that night and told me that

you were leaving so there was no point. But while I was there, none of us were

allowed phones. That was one of the main

rules. We needed to keep focused on what

we were doing. I saw all your missed calls when I left there.” Ethan explained. And I

didn’t know how to respond to that.

All this time I thought he was being an

arsehole but now I know it’s because he

didn’t have access to his phone. And I felt like a bitch for thinking all those bad things about him. But I had to remind

myself that we couldn’t get into anything

here. We couldn’t get back into our old relationship here. Not while Jackson and I

are mated and hadn’t rejected each other

at least.

“Well, I’m sorry I called you a using

miserable son of a bitch.” I say.

“What?” He asked.
