Will Rejection Hold? novel Chapter 29

"No." I groaned, leaning back against the box behind me.

"Come on! You'll be fine!" He chuckled at my distraught state. I however was not amused. I was absolutely freaking out.

"Hey! This isn't funny! It's hard! Alex doesn't even know I'm coming!" I whined like a five year old. I basically sat there pouting. Honestly though I feel like I'm entitled to be freaking out. I have more than just Alex to worry about.

"You have me, though." Chase sing-songed walking into the room. He walked over to me, and pulled me off the boxes. But he didn't pull me into a hug. Nope, instead he pulled me out of the way, and grabbed the boxes. My jaw fell slack, shocked at his lack of sympathy.

"Thanks for the comfort." I snarked, but I smiled. Just his presence made me feel at least a little better. And I knew he didn't mean it. We'd talked about it a hindered times since I admitted everything to him. I knew he was there for me.

"What? We're on a schedule!" He walked out of the room with two boxes in his arms.

Tucker came over to me, flicking my nose. "He's just so loving!" Tucker teased me.

"Whatever." I groaned, holding my hands out for him to pick me up.

"What do I do with that?" He gave a pointed look to my hands.

"Very funny. Now help me up." I waved my hands around.

"That was pretty funny, wasn't it?" He spoke proud of himself, finally latching onto my hands and pulling me up. I turned around a zipped up my suitcase, pulling it behind me.

"Let's just get on the road." I made my way down the stairs, and into the mix of people in the crowded pack house.

"I can't do this." I said for the thousandth time in the car. I watched speed signs fly past us, as we got closer and closer to my living hell. We could at the very least slow down to prolong this. There really was no need for speeding, I don't want to get there any faster than necessary. I huffed loudly.

"We've been over this Lexi! You'll be fine! I'm here with you." Chase tried to keep his voice calm, but I knew he was starting to get frustrated. After all I was the one who agreed it would work. And it will. This is what has to happen for the pack's sake. I can deal with whatever happens. I have a family now, I'm stronger than before.

Regardless of my new confidence, I couldn't help but feel my hands start to sweat and cheeks feel hot. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I work to steady my breath.

'Do you want me to rip his throat out?' My wolf growled. She was just as angry as I was about all of this.

' No...' I responded reluctantly.

As nice as that sounds, that's not a good way to handle things. We need to okay nice in order to stay on their land. We need their warriors to help if the hunters come back.

Chase pulled his truck to a stop in front of the house, only us and few other higher ranks were staying at the pack house. Everyone else was staying in the guest homes at the back of the property. Apparently we weren't lucky enough to have arrived at the same time as everyone else. Thanks for the driving, speed racer. If we all would've gotten here at once maybe I could've hid back.

"Let's get on with it." I muttered as Chase opened the door for me.

"You've got it babe." He slipped his arm around my waist, pulling me close to his side. "Head high." He kissed my head as we walked.
