One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 36

Hailey's POV

I won't lie, the farewell breakfast took way too long and it hurt my heart to see Jaxon laughing and enjoying his time with his friends surrounding him when we were not on speaking terms. I was not laughing or acting silly, my heart was aching for him. I was sitting with my pack but he was in my line of sight and I did not miss a thing, from the whispers in to Azuri's ear, to jokes and laughs with everyone else.

My wolf missed him... even though I could still feel his wolf calling out to mine, he remained stubborn to the core and ignored me. I did the same and decided we will be childish together. I mean, I almost lost my life, he should not have left me and yet he did.. I actually can't believe he did.

I see Cayden get up to leave and I follow him out, we walk to the car and he turns to face me, his eyebrow raised at me. Cayden was growing on me and I was hoping that he would forgive me for snapping at him and offloading my mood swings on him because Jaxon decided to be an ass,.

"I wanted to apologize." I say, toying with my fingers nervously.

Cayden, for some reason, awakened something in me since being here... I seem to always want him close to me and with us being at odds because of me, I had to fix things before my heart explodes at me for ruining such a wonderful friendship. Cayden, did not blame me for not being able to defend myself but because Jaxon planted this seed that I was an embarrassment for not being able to defend myself, I could not look him in the eyes out of fear of seeing the same disappointment in his eyes.

Cayden pulls me in for a quick hug before looking back in to my eyes.

"I can handle mood swings and there was no need to apologize, I can see female mood swings from a distance.. I have a sister remember? I was just waiting for word that you were over that little hurdle you call a mate and that I was in the clear. I am your beta and you are my alpha, we will have much bigger problems in the future... besides, I owe you one after questioning your ability to shift." Cayden says to me and I smile, relieve flooding my body.

I pull him in for a hug, squeezing him tight before I begin to question his words in my head, making me pull away from him.

"We are much more than just alpha and beta! Aren't we?" I ask and Cayden's eyes bulge out, feeling a presence behind me.

I turn around to see Jaxon standing behind me with my father and his father, the alpha. He tightens his jaw when we lock eyes but I pay him no mind, my father breaking the awkwardness with a few words goodbye.

"Thank you for taking care of us during our stay. I can't say we are completely satisfied with everything but maybe a break away is necessary." My father says to Jaxon's dad, who nods in agreement.
