Chapter 16

This week came off uneventful. But still better. Eli is still sharing sexual innuendos here and there. Getting lil bit touchy also, but it's not that I want to complain.

I actually liked it.

But he seems to be overprotective than he should be. Today I'm joining him again in his office. Me doing school works and him doing pack works.

Eli arranged my school schedule and made me a homeschooled enrollee til we fixed the problem with Jasen.

Jasen.. His mark is slowly fading. Though my wolf is still not talking nor giving her presence to me. Doctor Walters specifically told me that my wolf is probably using all her might and strength to reject the mark that's why it became a wound and is slowly healing by now.

My thoughts are interrupted by a loud snap of fingers in front of my face.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He said smirking at me.

I grin back at him. "Oh would you want to know" I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively, thing that I learned from him.

Our afternoon consists of joking around and letting each other know more about us.

To be honest. With in this week our relationship seems to go closer and closer each day. I cant help but feel scared. I'm feeling more than attached to Eli.

What if, a day will come and he will leave me? I should have been able to stand by my own and not rely on him right?

I heard knocks from my door revealing Eli with a formal attire walking towards me.

"Where are you going?"

"Lina? I will go meet few persons, are you going to be alright here by yourself?"

He asked kneeling in front of my sitting self and brushing his fingers on my arms.

"I'm fine Eli. I'm not a kid you know?"

I said stubbornly crossing my arms adding a little bit of pout for the effect.

I'm not a kid but I don't want you to leave either.

"If no I can send my friends to keep you company?"

"No Eli I'm fine, go now before you run late."

He looks at me one more time before heading out.

After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling, I become bored. Maybe watching few movies would ease my boredom.

Strolling in the kitchen I began to search for some nutella jar that Eli probably hid from me.

He is mad at me because I'm eating all his nutella without spreading them in a loaf of bread.

According to him, I quote, "Nutella is a chocolate spread therefore you should spread it".

I know I know. Lame ass. But that won't stop me from finding the nutella jar that he hides every time.

I found a jar of unopened nutella inside the big hollow figurine in the pack house's living room.

Seriously?! A figurine?!

Sitting on my bed I opened the nutella and began eating while some Disney films are playing in the TV.

Four movies later my eyes begin to droop. I already finished half of the chocolate goodness while I'm watching and set them aside.

I look at the clock hanging in the wall and it says 9:55 in the evening. Eli left about 4pm. He is gone for about six hours.

I grunted and debating on calling him. I don't want to be that clingy girlfriend but.. Wait... I'm not even close to that! What am I thinking. We are not even close to having a relationship!

I face palm myself while looking at his name on my contacts.

Should I call him? Or should I not?

Pressing the call button, I place my phone in my ear and listen to the silent ringing of it.

The phone stopped and I realised that he didn't answer. He declined the call. I tried calling him again. And this time by the second ring, he answered.

My nerves are all shaky as he answered the call. It automatically sent a grin in my face but that grin quickly wiped off when I heard his voice.

"What?!" He asked his tone is snappy and cold. A tone he never used on me.

"U-um" my voice is barely a whisper as I think what to say. Why did I even call him in the first place?! He may be in an important business meeting and here I am interfering! Big No No Lina!

He cleared his throat "Lina baby sorry. I didn't check the name."

I sighed in relief by that but quickly began worrying.

"Is everything okay? Wai- what are those noise?"

I practically heard tiredness in his voice when he answered.

"That must be the white pack, they invited me to dinner to seal things out I'm already tired." He finished with a sigh.

"Oh. The white packs? Wait, what time will you be returning home?"

"Why? You miss me already?" I could imagine the smirk in his lips.

"No! Ass!. I'm just wondering you know?" I said silently thanking the moon goddess he is not here to see me blushing.

"Heyy baby how long are you there come on"

I heard a squeaky girl voice on the background that is getting close on him. I gasped.

He is with a girl. He lied to me to be with a girl.

I swallowed the lump I'm my throat as I shakily talked again.

"O-oh you're busy, I-i gotta go sleep goodnight" I hurriedly said, ending the call.

What's wrong with him! One time he would be all cuddly and sweet and then now he left me because of some girl!

I debated on going for a run outside or staying here and mop all night. I'll probably can't sleep by what happened. But the feeling that Jasen might catch me again is creeping me.

I decided on locking my bedroom door and lay back on the bed staring at my ceiling.

I can't believe he did that.

My wolf finally cried.
