The Werewolf's Chapter 39: Caught in a lie

Chapter 39: Caught in a lie

Beau.

The funeral ended with so many emotions and I don’t know how to handle them all at once. Lanis has been acting weird and I know that sothing is up. he is trying to hide this from —his worry but I see right through him. We are at the rec centre in the community. It is customary to eat together as a pack after a funeral. For the rest of the night we all of have be together in the sa enclosed place. I just want to get away and be with Lanis, I will be okay once I can lay in his arms and hold him tight.

"How are you holding up baby?" Bells cos up to us with a compassionate smile.

I manage to return her smile back to her and she moves even closer. Lanis is watching us and I can sense jealousy emanating from him. He hasn’t said anything but I know he doesn’t like how close we are. I know he wont say anything because that’s just the kind of person he is.

"Today went well," she says as she sits on my lap. She doesn’t seem to care that my mate is right next to . I have seen this sa jealousy from Justin her mate. Before I t Lanis, I didn’t think too much about it but now that he is in my life, I think it is a little too much for him to handle.

I grab her waist and place her on the seat next to , putting

in the middle of the two of them. Lanis is picking at the food on his plate and I know he isn’t hungry.

"As good as a funeral can go."

She nods not upset that I moved her away from . I look at everyone in the room and the tension is obvious, no one is calm. Everyone is panicking, I don’t bla them, we cant really be thinking about anything but the fact that any one could be hurt at anyti. We have soone hunting us and I don’t know what to do about it, how do I even catch him?

"You should eat," Bells points to my plate which is still full.

I nod "I will," I tell her even though I know I am not really interested in food right now.

Rex joins us on the table and his mood is the sa as everyone. I hate this bumr mood. I hate everything that is happening. I hate that I have to be the adult. If father was alive, I wouldn’t be this serious, I would’ve probably snuck away with Lanis.

I lean closer to him and he manages a smile "Are you okay?" I ask him worriedly.

He smiles and kisses

softly on my lips, I deepen the kiss because contact with him is the only thing that is making

feel good. I feel numb to everything that is happening and he is my only escape. See why I need him in my life? He gives

the balance that I need. He is the only person that can get

through this.

I want to mate with him imdiately after there is a full moon. I spoke to Alby and he explained all I will need to do. It will be for a night. We will have to be alone, with no interruptions. Once the moon is full I will take my full form and then I will mark him. He will be mine once the mark is embedded and we could beco one.

I cannot wait to be one with him.

"Do you need blood?" I ask him because he is looking a little paler than usual.

He shakes his head "I had so at ho."

I raise a brow because I sense sothing, I don’t know what it is but he needs to talk to . I have to be aware of whatever is bothering him; I want to take care of him. I want him to be comfortable with , around . Comfortable enough to talk to

about anything. He hasn’t ntioned anything that happened at ho. I don’t know what he discussed with his father and I also know now is not a good ti to talk about it.

"Do you wanna escape for a minute?" I ask, maybe if I can get him away from here, he will talk to .

"Is that possible?"

I smile "We can go sowhere quiet, but just for a second," I tell him because I know eventually soone will look for .

He nods eagerly and I smile at how cute he is right now. I lead him out of the rec centre and once outside I exhale deeply for the first ti today. The fresh air hits

and I close my eyes for a second, taking it all in. The stress of the day is heavy on my chest and I need a release. Sohow, I know I won’t get that anyti soon because we still have problems at hand.

"How are you feeling after today?" he speaks up so suddenly that I almost forgot he was here. There is a smile on his face as he watches

curiously.

"Glad you were here with

through it all," I move closer to him and he wraps his arms around my waist pulling

even closer. we look into each other’s eyes and nothing feels weird about it.

"What did your dad say?" I rember that his father could have more information on Cassius. I will take anything I can get right now because I need to find him before he does more harm to my people. This is a man that has successfully wiped out a whole town of wolves. He ans business and I won’t let him win this. I will fight him till the end.

"We should talk about that later, how about we stay like this for a while without saying anything," he rests his chin on my shoulder and I hold him tighter.

He is being evasive, probably bad news and he thinks I can’t handle it. i just lost my father, I can handle anything right now, except losing him. As long as I don’t lose him, I will be fine.

"I love you," I remind him. This is my way of letting him know that I will always love him no matter what. This is

telling him that he has nothing to worry about, he can trust that I will be by his side, no matter what.

*******************

Lanis jumps on my king size bed and the sheets rumple beneath him "Ho at last," he mutters and my heart swells at his words.

He is calling my ho his ho. That ans the world to , I can’t believe he feels that way, it makes

feel great.

I walk until I am on the edge of the bed and he smiles stretching his arms out for

"Co on lover, co to papa."

I lie down on top of him and his weight welcos . One of the good things about being with the sa sex is this. I don’t have to worry about crushing him with my weight. He can handle all of .

"You did good today," he exclaims proudly.

I release a sigh of relief because hearing that from him ans a lot to . He stretches his neck and kisses my forehead softly; I close my eyes as the resistance that I have is wearing thin. I can’t keep taking less from him, I want all of him and I am losing patience. The animal in

is craving him desperately. He feels the desperation from the hardening of my mber and giggles.

"You should go take a cold shower," he winks and I push him off

playfully. This makes him laugh even harder. I stand up from the bed and adjust my jeans.

"Are you going to join ?"

He shakes his head "You go first, I need to go out for so fresh air. He looks out the window and I furrow my brows. Is this so code for vampire business?

"Nothing like you’re thinking, just five minutes," he waves his hands in the air and I laugh.

"Fine, but be back soon and don’t talk to anyone. People are still wary of you. We have to let them accept you without causing any more problems," I warn him with a peck.

"Alright."

I go into the bathroom and I hear the door of my room close loudly. I don’t know what is going on with him but I know sothing Is wrong. I walk out of the bathroom to follow him. I just need to know what he is thinking. He isn’t talking to , so being a creepy stalker is the only thing I can do. I watch him as he walks in the direction that leads to Rex’s room. He said he was going outside; this is not the way outside. Why is he going to my best friends’ room?

He knocks on the door quietly and Rex opens it up. The expression on his face tells

that he didn’t know about this. He is confused as to why my mate would be in front of his door.

"I need to talk to you," he says.

Rex furrows his brows "What is wrong?"

Lanis turns around and I jump to cover myself. He doesn’t see . He sighs and I watch him run his hands through his hair "Can I co in?"

Rex manages a nod and opens the door wider. Lanis walks in and he closes it behind him.

What is going on?
