Chapter 17

Celine's POV

It took Scott explanation and him convincing Gaius that there was absolutely nothing going on between me and Jake.I could tell that Gaius didn't believe but just decided to let it be.

"You don't have a special relationship with Jake right?" Scott asked while driving.

"Of course not!" I exclaimed.

"I know considering the fact that he just brought you." He affirmed.

"How's your leg?"

"It hurts." I pouted.

"How did you break your leg in the first place?"

I blinked for some minutes thinking of what to tell him.

"I fell!"

"You fell?"

"Yes."

"From where?"

"From the kitchen,I was trying to take something from the cabinet then my leg slipped." I concluded.

"Too bad,now you'll have to walk on crutches for a few days now." He shook his head in pity.

"Yeah." I rested my head on the chair and looked at the beautiful trees on our way home.

"Hey." I felt a light tap on my shoulder.

"We're here." I opened my eyes. I didn't know when I slept off.

"Let's go." Scott smiled before opening the door.

He came out of the car and came to my own side of the car. He opened the door, helped me with my seatbelt and offered to carry me.

"What no!" I disagreed.

We were in the pack house and eyes were everywhere, people were starting to doubt my relationship with the Lycans.

"Let me just use the crutches please." I pleaded.

"Let me carry you,in a twinkle of an eye we'll be inside." He objected and scooped me up in a bridal style.

"Scott!" I wiggled in his arms.

"Ouch!!" The pain hit me. I had forgotten that I broke my legs.

"Sorry…just stay still." He laughed.

I hid my face in his chest and tried my best not to inhale his scent…which I later found myself doing, don't blame me, blame his scent.

Scott entered the main house and a wide range of gasps could be heard…I really don't want to get bullied, most of the pack girls have eyes for Scott. Steel is mated so they have only Scott.

"And what do you think you both are doing!" An irritated Jake stopped Scott from going further.

I could probably die of embarrassment,I peaked through and saw him. I hid my face back.. oh goddess help me!

"Nothing as you can see she's injured. I'm taking her to her room."

"Since when?" Jake questioned.

Was he worried about me?

"I don't know, Chloe called this morning and asked me to come take her to Gaius." He replied.

Scott lifted me properly. I'm sure his hands were hurting now,I shouldn't have added some weight.

"What I meant was who gave you the permission to come and go and do as you please holding a pack maid like that in broad daylight?" 

"Man she's hurt."

"I don't care!"

Have they forgotten that I'm here,Jake had gone far this time around,why was he acting all grumpy this morning. It was because of him I broke my legs. I wish I could say that out loud.

"Let them be Jake, what's your problem?" Chloe walked in,the noise probably woke her up.

"Thank you,you should get an ice cream for your brother." 

"I'm not a child." Jake growled.

"Then stop acting like one." Scott and Chloe said together.

"Whatever, see me in my study in the next 10 minutes."

"Yes Alpha." Scott replied and took me to my room.

"Thank you Scott,if not for you I would still be in a difficult position." I smiled at him when he helped me sit down.

"Anything for you." He winked at me.

"Knock Knock." Chloe came in.

"Okay I'll go get your crutches from the car." Scott said.

"Don't you have to see the Alpha first?" I asked.

I didn't want Jake to come here and drag him out in anger.

"Yes,you should probably see Jake." Chloe suggested.

"It's not 10 minutes yet." He looked at his wristwatch.

"Okay then." Chloe replied.

"I'll be right back." He said and dashed out.

"So?" Chloe eyed me.

"How's things with Steel?" I averted her questions. I knew she was going to say something funny about Scott and I.

"Come on, he's handsome." She whined and came to sit down beside me.

"I know." 

"Then?" She looked at me with anticipation.

"We're just friends." I smiled at her cuteness.

"I doubt that, you guys look like a couple just now." She pouted.

"What's your definition of a couple?" I laughed at her conclusion.

"So don't tell me you don't have eyes for Scott?" Chloe tried to tickle me.

"No!" I denied.

"Really?" 

"Yes."

"Do you perhaps have a mate?" Chloe asked.

I wanted to tell her I did and In fact it was her brother.

"Do you?"

"No,I don't have one."

"Then that's settled." She stood up and dusted her palm I could tell she was up to no good.

"What's settled?" Scott came in with the crutches.

"I'm going to have you paired up with Scott." Chloe clapped in victory.

"What don't be ridiculous!" My face was all red.

"She's not.. what's wrong with being paired together." Scott winked at me.

"What!" My eyes widened.

"Yes I don't mind us being together,I could change for you." He knelt beside me.

"What's with the weird line?" My eyes were all teary from laughter.

"I'm sorry but I'll pass." I waved in disapproval.

"Why?" The both of them asked.

"Wait are you guys serious about this?" I looked at their facial reactions.

"Yes." They both nodded.

"Seriously?" My stomach was hurting from the laughter.

Scott's phone rang and he went outside to pick it.

"So,what do you think?" Chloe asked.

"I think nothing girl." I lifted my hands.

"Think about it please." Chloe shook me.

"Why are you bent on the both of us being together?" 

"Because?"

"Because what?"

"So we can be friends."

"But we are friends."

"Not like that." She sighed in frustration.

"If you and Scott gets together we get to go for double date,chat about how naughty out man are you know stuffs like that." She explained.

I smiled at her words I wanted to Know how it feels too but I wasn't fated to I guess.
