One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 35

Hailey's POV

Today was our last day here...

It has been a few days since I last saw or spoke to Jaxon, who left my room without a word or fight. Part of me blamed myself, that had I been less of a coward, maybe I would have put up a fight with my evil stepmother but I could never be brave enough. I am not there yet and even if my wolf is as brave as my alpha father, I am just not there yet.

Maybe the animal and human side has not connected yet, making me confident and fearless... maybe I listen more to my human side since it is all I have known all my life. I may never know...

Another part of me is angry. I am angry that Jaxon would think even after two minutes of training, I would stand a chance against a shera that has been a wolf all her life. The audacity to even say it out loud, the audacity of having such unrealistic expectations of me.... and to spend days not talking to me or coming to apologize for being so insulting.

He has continued to keep his distance from me...

I know he is spending time with Azuri because she has not come to bother me at all. She has also kept her distance, never bothering me and god knows I have tried to sniff her out around the pack house or anywhere near me and I could not get anything, not in the morning or at night and during the day...she has been away. My heart aches, I won't lie. It aches for Jaxon, I have to fight with myself not to look for him and apologize on his behalf just to have him close to me and not that damn parasite.. Something about being a shera and just completely acting a fool just to keep the peace.. this is when I can be glad to still be listening to my human side because I can also be stubborn as hell. Stubbornly a coward, a stubborn girl all around and I will proudly remain...

Cayden knocks on my door before walking in to drop off fresh clothes and walking right out. I have been cranky since Jaxon, since our little fight and Cayden was smart enough to keep away after I decided he deserved to get the short end of my very moody stick instead of Jaxon, who went awol so somebody had to get it... I felt bad but I could not help it.. Jaxon was not speaking to me because I could not protect my own life and the shame just goes past him and I clearly can't face anyone from my pack right now. I mean, how can I? because what if they thought the same thing? Their future alpha an open coward who admitted publicly that another shera saved her from doom and she failed to save herself, never mind the fact that as an alphas daughter, she is responsible for the protection of the lives of her people.

He walks out without saying a word, like Jaxon and I let him. Usually I would ask what is stuck up his ass and he would not answer but it is always worth a try.. just not today, today I let things go. If Jaxon wants nothing to do me then everyone else can follow him. Every one except for my father who is hell bent on teaching my lovely mate a lesson on appreciating mates while they are still alive and not being a complete ass to them when they need you the most.

I obviously cannot compare my mother to myself but my father hates the fact that Jaxon is letting his feelings win.. feelings he allows to cloud his judgement over the fact that I almost died get the better of him. My dad wants Jaxon to appreciate that he still has me, I am still alive and able to fulfill the prophesy with him.
