The Beta's Daughter

Figure It Out

Chapter 14
Jace's pov

Why the fuck are you still just laying here?

I scrub my hand down my face and groan loudly. Ehron has been non-stop screaming in my head since yesterday morning.

That was the point in time when Micah let it slip that Azariah was having dinner with that prick Zane.

I'd say that when the news got delivered it was like a punch in the gut, but thats not even close. I've been punched plenty in my life and there is literally no comparison.

After the initial shock wore off i've been left with a numb feeling. That and a giant headache, named Ehron.

You need to fix this Jace. NOW

It's a good thing I have excellent control over my wolf, or Zane would have met his end last night.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I spied on her. I just can't figure out if I feel better or worse for doing it.

I hid across the street from her house, behind some bushes, and watched her leave. And like the loser I am I stayed there and waited for her to come home. Thankfully it was only just under three hours.

If Zane had of touched her, attempted to hold her hand or worse, kiss her I would have lost control of Ehron on the spot.

No matter how many times I tell him that she's not ours he doesn't get the message. Probably because even I don't believe my own lies.

Ehron's been pacing back and forth in my mind ever since I woke up. He's so agitated he keeps showing his teeth, and I have no doubt that if it was at all possible, he would tear me to pieces with them.

I've been staring at my phone for the last twenty minutes, contemplating calling her and saying that dinner with my family was a no go tonight. I'm not sure I can handle seeing her. My big mouth might give away how I feel about her little outing last night.

Problem is, Sunday dinner has never been canceled. And as much as I don't wanna see her, I do.

I toss my phone on the coffee table and get up from the couch. I need to find something to do till she gets here, to keep my mind busy.

Why don't you go fuck yourself. That should kill lots of time.

Yup, i'd definetly be a dead man if he was able to get at me.

I look around my small appartment, trying to decide what to do. I guess you couldn't really call it an appartment, it's a small space above my parents garage that we converted into a place for me so I could have some privacy.

The living room, kitchen, dinning room was one big open spaced area. There's a small bedroom and bathroom and very little closet space. It was perfect for just me tho.

I decide to put my baking skills to use and make some muffins. Blueberry ones. Azariah's favorite. So much for keeping my mind off of her.

I know i'm gonna have to make the hard choice sooner rather than later. Piss or get off the pot. Aka, tell her how I feel, or let her go. Ehron starts growling at that thought. It's gonna be damn near impossible to get him to accept my decision if I go the let her go route.
