Will Rejection Hold? novel Chapter 42

"Tucker really, you don't have to sleep on the floor!" I sat on his bed in a t-shirt and sofee shorts.

We had gone and gotten my things from Chase and I'd room earlier without problem. Chase wasn't there making it an easy deal.

"I'm fine Lexi, I promise! I don't want to make this weird for you!" He insisted, adjusting his pillow to avoid eye contact.

"Get in the bed Tucker." I demanded scooching over to one side so that he had room.

Tucker looked up at me. "Get in bed Tucker!" I demanded him again.

"Fine." He muttered grabbing his pillow and crawling into bed.

"Thank you." I rolled my eyes shutting off the bedside lamp.

We layer there in silence for awhile, I was pretty sure he wasn't asleep either. I think both of our minds were just running wild. So much has happened within the last few days. My head is just a jumble of things.

Suddenly a piercing pain shot into my gut. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed out in pain tears ran down my face already. This hurt worse that my first shift. My heart ached, my body burned, I couldn't see or hear anything. My breath was ripped away from me. My body shook with sobs, as I was silently aching.

I finally caught enough breath to talk. "Tucker, help me." I begged so confused as to what's going on. It felt like I was burning alive. Suddenly I felt a tear, and I felt free. The fire dispersed. My heart wasn't heavy anymore, I didn't feel the constant unhappiness of my wolf from not being with Alex.

"Tucker what just happened?" I begged him, clinging to him for dear life. I lay there a sweaty mess with dried tears handing from my chin.

"I think Alex remated with someone else." He whispered running his fingers gently through my hair.

I just curled into him further, "Good, I'm glad he's happy." I breathed out, still catching my breath.

I am really glad for him. I mean it was pretty fast, but at least I don't have to worry anymore. Now he has someone be love and live with. Maybe they will help him to be the man I know he can become.

TUCKER'S POV

I felt her breath fan across my neck, a small shiver ran through my body as I held her in my arms. I had never had a sister before. It made me giddy with joy, I loved her.
