CHAPTER 20

Cammy stared between the two people as she felt her throat dry up. She felt a wave of anger come over her. She couldn't believe that she wasn't having any say in the matter at hand.

She huffed in frustration as she looked between Rachel and River. “So i truly do not get any say in what happens from now on. You are just going to force me to go with him”. She called out in frustration. She watched as Rachel remained quiet as they didn't dare to meet her in that way. She knew that she would tell her something about how she was only doing it for her own benefit and that she would understand her matter a bit . How could she even begin to understand.

None of it made sense to her and it frustrated her to no end to see that they weren't allowing her to have a say or put in her word into what went on in her own life. In the end she was also a human being just like them and this was her life.

“Don't say it like that . You know that things would be different if we could have it Any other way but we both know that he will protect you no matter what comes your way. You have to understand that he is someone who is an alpha and even after everything that has happened he is still your mate. You can't truly expect for him to sit here and allow us to take you away from him yet again.`` She said to her.

She wanted to he angry at them. In Fact she wanted to be so upset with them at that moment but she couldn't find it in herself to be. She knew that in a sense they were right.

She turned towards River who had a bright triumphant smirk on his face. He was well aware of the fact that he had already won and that was why he kept the smig look on his face.

“Fine then. Let's go.” She muttered. She didn't dare to turn to look at her friends. She didn't want to end up saying something that she was almost certain she would regret.

"this is for the best, I assure you. That everything is going to be alright in the end we are going to pull through. And you are going to thank me later”. Rachel called out to her. But she wasn't listening at that point as she was too focused on the large man tjaf seemed to almost hover over her.

He was close to her. far too close and her body shuddered at the closeness of his proximity towards her. She felt his hand go down to her lower back and she couldn't help but flinch instantly.

She winced as she pushed away from him and turned towards him with a glare. “Don't touch me”. She hissed and she watched as he raised his hands up at her in surrender.

He lead her towards his car that was parked out front and she admired it for a moment. It was a maybach. She took in the sight of its sleek black exterior and she felt her mouth widened into an O shape.

She heard the sound of him chuckling from beside her and she couldn't help but scoff as she rolled her eyes at him.

“I knew that you would appreciate it. That's why I brought it with me. It's weird because Jackson had the same fascination with cars.” He muttered as he pulled the door open for her.

She was quiet as she gave him a tight lipped smile before accepting his offer and allowing herself to slip into the car. She felt her mood faul slightly at the thought of Jackson. She still had so many questions that she desperately needed to ask the man beside her.

And yet when he sat down their close proximity left her tongue tied. She couldn't help but let a blush come over her cheeks at the melory pf what had happened to her the last time that she had been in a car alone with him.

“What is on your mind?” He asked her with a smirk. She was quiet as she bit down on her lip and she had to refrain herSElf from shooting him a deep scowl. She knew that he was doing it on purpose and he was well aware of what she was thinking about but she wasn't about to allow him to get the upper hand.

“Come on indulge me. Are you really going to give me the silent treatment forever? Maybe you are just like Jackson.” He muttered as he began to drive off. She felt something deep inside of her tick at his words.

"why do you keep bringing up your son do you not see what this is doing to me." she called out to him. She watched as he tensed up for a moment.

He took a moment to breathe in deeply before he exhaled. “Why do you hate him? He is the sweetest kid. Full of joy and laughter and he has done nothing wrong to you. He sees you as a superhero. You are like a role model to him. You should be flattered to know that there is someone out there who looks up to you”. He tried to tell her.

“Are you really asking me why I wouldn't be open to talking to your son? The same one that you had with Alice. Do you remember her as the girl that you cheated on me with? The same girl who is the reason that you threw me out of your pack. I can't believe that you would even suggest any form of chivalry between us. I think I have made it clear a long time ago that I don't want anything to do with you. Or to do with all of your pack members”. she fired back at him.

She watched as he bit down on his lip. As he turned to loom away from her. It was clear that there were things on his mind which he wished to say. He huffed in frustration as he blew out hot air. But she was somewhat relieved when he didn't say anything to her.

“How long”. She said to him after they had been stuck in the car together for several minutes. “Just for a few days until i can track down who is behind all of this". He said to her lowly.

She hummed and the rest of the ride was silent until they soon came to a stop in front of a tall apartment building. It had full glass walls and was at least thirty stories high. As she made her way out of the car she felt her mouth form into an o as she took in the grandeur of the structure that was before her.

“Come on.” She heard him mutter behind her. They made their way inside together as he led her towards the elevator and he helped her to the penthouse floor.

She was nervous about being here with them and she didn't miss the pang in her chest when she heard giggles coming from the other side of the door.

She was quiet as she tried to be brave before sucking in a deep breath and turning the handle. She looked down only to come face to face with a toothy grinned Jackson.

“Hi.”
