Chapter 27
JANE
John walked up to us and I glanced at Stanley for a while before turning back to look at him.
âYou didnât give me a reply, Jane,â he said again and I licked my lower lip.
âYou were eavesdropping on our conversation, John, âI uttered, trying to change the topic.
Donât try to wriggle your way out of this, Jane, answer the question,â he ordered.
âWhat do you want me to say? You have heard everything from Stanley, havenât you?â I snapped at him, getting furious. He wasnât supposed to hear what the both of us talked about, but there was nothing I could do about it anymore.
âI want to hear it directly from you. What exactly are you scared of?â He asked, but I said nothing, walking out of the kitchen to let Stanley continue cooking, but John followed me.
Jane! âHe yelled at me, causing me to stop abruptly. âWe need to talk,â he demanded before going upstairs, straight to his room.
I had no option than to follow him, he was my Alpha after all. I went to his room, closing the door behind me as soon as I was inside.
âHave I ever insulted you before?â He asked all of a sudden and I shook my head. âHave I ever looked down on you or mocked you?â He asked again, and I shook my head. âHave I ever raised my hand to hit you for once?â I shook my head.
Then, why the hell are you scared of me?â He raised his voice at me and I flinched instinctively.
âIâm not scared of you, John, Iâm scared of commiting to you, âI corrected.
âItâs the same thing, Jane. You are scared of commiting to me because you are scared of me,â he pressed on and I scoffed.
âIs that truly what you think? Of everyone in this house, you are well aware of what I went through because of Damienâs rejection. Do you still expect me to jump into another relationship after all that?â I questioned.

âIs this because of Damien? Do you still have lingering feelings for that asshole? It is more than five months now, donât you think itâs time to get over him?â He asked and I shook my head. He was getting me all wrong.
Donât change my words, John, you know thatâs not true. I have forgotten about him ever since the call five
months ago and you know that. But, if Damien, who was my mate, was able to reject me because of someone else, why should I be able to trust that the same wonât happen with you? There is not mate bond between the both of us, what we feel towards each other is something that can easily fade away,â I stated
âI canât believe youâre saying something like this, I thought we had agreed on this? Do we still need to discuss that topic again? Iâm getting tired, âhe lamented.
âAnd you think Iâm not? You keep complaining everytime that I have feelings for Damien, even though that isnât true. You think Iâm okay with it? âI retorted.
Thatâs because you keep making me doubtful. We cannot have a conversation without you including Damien. You
guys have been separated for five months and he is in his pack, but it feels like he is living with us here. Iâm. pretty sure I know him more than he even knows himself now,â he
argued further and a scoff left my lips.
âI canât believe you, âI muttered. âI only talked to you about him because I was trying to be free with you, you could have told me that it was annoying if that was what you really thought. Why did you make me look like a fool who could not keep things to herself?â I yelled at him, getting pissed off.
Because I didnât want to offend you orâ¦â¦.â He was explaining himself, but I was quick to shut him up.
âDonât you think youâre doing that right now? Do I look happy to you? You are clearly annoying me, if you are not aware, âI fired back, tears gathering in my eyes as I began to get emotional again.
Iâm sorry,
âhe apologized, lowering his head in shame and I snickered, not believing what I was hearing.
âYouâre sorry? John, if you were going to apologize, then you shouldnât have started the conversation in the first place. Why would you apologize after saying all that is in your mind? What do you want me to do with your fucking apology? âI cussed out.
Itâs so early for us to argue over petty things. Besides, I donât want to stress you more than necessary. You are at your peak and I canât risk anything,â he uttered and I snorted.
Donât make me laugh, John. Petty things? So early? If you cared about me so much, you would have waved off what
you heard when you were busy eavesdropping on my conversation with Stanley. You shouldnât have fueled up the topic by bringing up Damien, when you know Iâm trying very much to let go of the mate bond that was

still between us. You should have been more understanding, rather than letting your emotions control you, âI
insisted.

I wasnât going to let him get away this time around, he wasnât going to apologize and then, Iâll a was gone between us. The argument was long due and it was better we argued it now.
like everything
âYou donât understand my feelings for you because you are
1 by the scar you experienced. I promised to be the father of your children and to make you my Luna, how else do you want me to show my feelings for you? He started and that was exactly what I wanted.
You cannot express feelings by giving me material things, John. We argue every fucking time because of the same topic,â
âAnd is that my fault?â He snapped at me.
âIs it mine, then?â I retorted. âYou are jealous of someone who isnât here, who youâve never met, who doesnât even know you exist. Is it my fault then? âI asked and before I could register what was happening, he had placed his lips on mine, pulling me closer to him.
Okay! I definitely wasnât expecting that.
