Chapter 70

I hear Derek curse as I rush down the hall. I contemplate why I’m so angry when I had wanted to do the same thing with Joseph. It feels hypocritical but I don't get a chance to think of it for long, because Derek grabs a hold of my arm and spins me to face him. I have never seen him so angry or hurt. I back up against the wall and he follows my movements, with his own, as he glares at me. I’m not sure what he is angry about. I told him that he didn’t do anything wrong. It’s true. He didn’t. So why is he mad at me? A paige runs down the hall and Derek grabs my upper arm and leads me back to my room.

"Derek, let me go!" I complain. My arm is starting to hurt. He’s never handled me like this before.

He still has a hold of me when we reach my bedroom. Now, I’m angry. I yank my arm out of his hand.
