Chapter 13:
With Sin around everything seemed so Overwhelming, I couldn't Get myself To think Straight, The mate Bond seemed to get stronger, and the more I could see my anger diminishing.
Caitlin's words still echoed in my head. Elliot. Would he find us again? Would he disturb my life again? Would he destroy Caitlin's? I shook my head trying not to think about it but it just kept occupying my mind. I walked out of Caitlin's room down the hallway. Jayden stood in the corner and looked at me a smile colouring my face.
"Isabelle." He said. I looked towards him slapping a smile on my face.
"Jayden, how long has it been? How's your mate, Eliza?" I questioned him. A dark expression seemed to lure over his face as he shook it away smiling at me.
"She cheated on me and ran off with an alpha male." he laughed silently.
"I'm... Sorry, I didn't mean to be insensitive and inconsiderate, I-" he cut me off, by waving his hands.
"it's not your fault, you didn't know. Anyway changing the subject, let's talk about you, why is it you come back to the Palace? I thought Sin did you wrong." he said reminding me.
"Turns out everything was a misunderstanding and we are trying to sort things out." I partly lied. I was most definitely still angry with Sin, but I had partly forgiven him.
"and I see you bared his child?" he said expressionlessly.
Hesitantly I replied, "yes. Caitlin is our daughter. I do kind of feel bad for hiding Caitlin from him but at the same time I don't feel guilty, but rather a bit relieved." I smiled.
"Well, you did the right thing. By leaving Sin you became the beautiful Isabelle you once were, well you've become even more beautiful than before if I must flatter you." he joked.
I laughed alongside him but I could feel my thoughts about the last three years come back to me. My smile faltered as my heartbeat paced up.
"Isabelle? Are you okay? I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." Jayden said worriedly.
"Don't worry about me Jay, I'm just a bit tired and I have a bit of a headache. I think I'm going to lie down for a bit to get all the overwhelming stress off me." I said.
Jayden studied my face as he nodded. "well then I'll see you around later." he said. I nodded and waved at him awkwardly and made my way down the hall towards Sin and I's bedroom.
My thoughts kept jumbling around. Sins voice echoed out of our bedroom As I stepped in. He seemed frustrated stroking his hair wildly, His tie loosely tied around his shirt collar.
"That's not possible!" he raised his voice. He was beginning to get angry and the anger began intimidating even me as his mate. "do whatever you have to, to ensure that the job gets done." he barked, then instantly cut the call.
He growled and threw the phone into the bed, glaring at whatever came into view. I walked behind him rubbing his soothingly as he took calm breaths. He turned towards me with a smile, making me more suspicious and curious.
"Who was it in the phone and what's got you so worked up?" I asked him as he shook his head smiling at me.
