New Wolf novel Chapter 85

I quickly made a left and headed straight for Toby's playhouse. I sat there in the tiny little box, squinting to see in the dimness. I pulled my knees up to my chest and nested my head in the space it created. I was so lonely. Everyone went to train in the woods but they prohibit me from coming. Sage stayed behind saying he had some 'business' the take care of, though I knew it was to watch me. But it hardly feels like I'm being watched when he's caged up in that office all day. If I knew it was gonna be like this if we mated, then I would have been against it. We were better as a couple, and not mates.

There was a knock on the plastic door but I didn't answer. I was wondering what took him so long too. I soon felt the wind whip against my skin and it was then I realized he had removed the house from around me. I still didn't look up at him, but he didn't say anything either as he scooped me up and carried me into the house.

I crossed my arms and leg as I sat in the chair in his office, just glaring at him. Apparently, I cannot be trusted on my own, so he's decided to watch me in here.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked, his eyes trained on the desk below him. "You keep staring."

"Yes," I hissed. "there is something wrong. What did I do?"

He dropped the pen and looked up at me, his red eyes boring into my being. "She wants to know what she did." He laughed humorlessly. "She wants to know what she did?" He whispered this time. "You wanna know what you did?"

"Obviously." I snorted but regretted so cause that might have ruined the chances of him telling me. I felt as if I was reverting to my old self, the less soft, confused and vulnerable one. It felt good. But judging by Sage's current transformation, having two bigheaded, stubborn and ignorant people in the same room was a bad idea.

He rose from his seat and threw the chair behind him. He was advancing towards me, but I pushed from my chair to meet him, letting in know I was ready to duke it out if necessary. I knew Sage'd kill himself before he ever hit me so I tested the waters. I wanted him to know I wasn't about to back down, and that I wasn't afraid of him.

"I am your Alpha," he gritted out. "and you will not disrespect me."

"I am Hanna, and you can't tell me what to do. I'm not a wolf, so there's nothing you can do about it. "

"So you know how it felt to be backed in a corner!" He yelled and I almost jumped.

"What are you talking about?"

"You were gone! And I felt like failed you! Again! I was going out of my mind when you disappeared! I thought they took you right in front of us, and no one even noticed. At first, I thought you were with your friends, but when they started to ask where you were, the panic set in. Everyone searched day in and out and we couldn't find anything. Not even a scent, a trace, and I couldn't even feel the bond anymore! It was like you were... dead. I-I thought you were dead. Jason might have saved you for long but from what I gathered, these guys wouldn't spare a child. After day five, I told them to look for a body. It was the last thing I thought I'd ever hear myself say and it hurt every waking moment I realized I was never going to see you again. I wanted to die too, but I knew you wouldn't want that for me. So I took the Alpha position. It was out of anger and sadness because I wanted to avenge you, and the title provided me with everything I needed. But," he then seethed. "you turned up, alive too, and I just didn't know what to feel. I wanted to comfort you when you're mother died but I couldn't. You made me think you died and I went through hell and back, trying to convince myself to not lose myself in vengeance. That there was something left to live for. But I knew that was a lie. And for you to just come back and pretend like you never left pissed me off. I fucking hated you, Hanna. And I want to hate you right now."

"Then why don't you?" I locked my jaw, trying to blink away my tears. "Humans do it all the time."
