My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 32

Elias didn't come around and I didn't know if I was upset or grateful about that. I got to meet the other children I missed last time. It was dark before Elias came to get me. I said goodbye to the kids before I left with Elias. We were both quiet the whole way back. Neither of us said anything until I was back in my room. I stood next to my bed and crossed my arms. I knew he wasn't going to leave without saying something first.

"I don't like it when you walk away from me," he said, breaking the silence.

"Then don't piss me off," I said, crossing my arms again. I sighed and stood. "I'm going to bed so you can leave now," I said quietly.

"Don't be upset with me, please. My wolf doesn't like it," he said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"You're so bipolar! One minute you're giving orders and the next, you're... I don't know. You know how I feel about Kendra and my feelings towards her are validated. Why would you keep her around after everything? You know how I feel about her," I asked, irritated.

"Nova..." Elias started.

"You know what, goodnight Elias," I said turning away from him.

"Goodnight, Novalyn," he sighed and left, closing the door behind him. Great, he used my whole name. I sighed and tried to push away my feelings of hurt and betrayal. I hated this. I hated fighting with him. I changed and got in the bed. I shut my eyes tight and prayed for sleep.

The next morning, Elias was already gone when I woke up. Darius took his place. I clicked mindlessly through the TV channels in the living room. Minnie came down and joined me after a while. I only sighed and leaned my hand against my head. Darius went to get something to eat, leaving me with Minnie.

"Don't take it personally," Minnie tried to comfort me. I only rolled my eyes and ran my hand through my copper red hair.

"How could I not?" I muttered. Of course, she heard me anyway.

"What's this; girl's day?" Kendra asked, coming into the living room.
