Chapter 116 - 2.37

I looked to Jayden and saw how twisted his face was with anger.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Jayden!" Cam gasped, "what are you doing here?"

Jayden wrapped his arm around my ċhėst and squeezed me against him. "I came to get MY mate! Then I come to find you two flirting with him after getting him wasted!"

"We didn't do anything, Jayden." Sean hissed, "Will suddenly woke up and began flirting with us and kissed me."

I giggled and locked eyes with Cam, "baby," I insisted. "Is Ash not working tonight? That lazy ȧss. Call him to come get me."

"Will, you're not with Asher anymore."

I smirked, "who said we were together?! Ha, he wishes!" I yawned, "just call up lover boy. He knows how to take care of me." I snickered, "he knows how to take real good care of me." I was shocked out of my drunken state when Jayden's pheromones seeped out. My entire body trembled and I looked up to Jayden. He shut them off once he had my attention, probably so that he wouldn't cause more problems.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? Getting yourself shitfaced?! You're a parent for god's sake!"

I shoved him off me before glaring at him, "go home. I'll stay at their place tonight."

He grabbed my arm and drug me outside. To not cause a bigger scene, I followed him. When we got outside, I moved out of his grasp and paused when his phone rang. He growled under his breath before answering it.

I fought tears; screw this. I turned on my heels when he looked away and I went straight towards a male Beta that was near us.

"Hey baby," I said as I went toward him, "I must've left my pack at home." I got closer to him and gave a seductive smile, "could I buy one off ya?"

He chuckled as a wicked smile came around his cigarette and he pulled out his pack. "Just pay me back next time."

I giggled and took a cigarette out of his pack. As he went to get out his lighter, I touched his arm gently, "no need." I leaned in closely, placed the cigarette between my lips, and lit mine with the end of his. I caught a glimpse of Cam and Sean coming outside, so I winked towards the guy, "till next time, baby."

I took a drag and my body tingled. I met up with Cam as he rushed over toward me, "I thought you gave up smoking!"

I sighed and took another drag, "I had to stop while I was pregnant but now I'm free."

Jayden stormed over to me and tried to grab the cigarette out of my hand. I quickly jabbed him with my elbow and took another drag, "don't touch me." I smirked as the alcohol took over a bit more. "Call me in three days. Then we can talk."

"What has gotten into you, Will?!" He demanded as Sean came over to us. "I'm taking you home."

"Who said I want to go with you?!" I hissed as I got into his face. "I'm not worth your time, so don't expect it to be different the other way around!"

Jayden took my hand tightly, "stop acting like a kid. We're going home." He looked towards Cam and Sean, "goodnight."

Cam looked to me with a sad smile. "Go on home. I'll call you tomorrow."

Jayden dragged me to his sports car and put me into the passenger's seat. I decided not to resist and just rolled down the window after he shut the door. I took another drag and buckled my seatbelts as he got into the driver's seat.

When he began driving, I finished up the cigarette and threw it out the window before rolling it up. I leaned on it as my head ached and I felt Jayden's anger without having to look towards him.

"I was excited to come home and see everyone, especially you. I had been thinking about it all day. And then I come home and find out from Cora that you went out with Sean and Cam. Since when are you friends with them?" I huffed and refused to speak. "You really hurt me."

"HA!" I yelled, which seemed to startle him. "I hurt YOUR feelings?! Are you kidding me?!" I began crying and shook, "do you realize how much you hurt me?! I called you, bawling and begging for your help! I was beyond upset and needed support..." I choked, "I needed YOU!" I took a deep breath so that I would not begin screaming. "When you said you couldn't talk, it hurt but I understood. I fought through it, on my own, and put on an act in front of everyone! Even though it hurt, I waited for you to call me like you said you would! Hearing you called Ean and Cora hurt me, but I endured as I tried to understand! I cried myself to sleep because it hurt but I didn't want to hinder your work! I have been hurting ever since I called you days ago and you did NOTHING! So I don't give a shit if you're hurt because I didn't sit and patiently wait for your return! I had enough and needed an escape!"

Jayden became silent as I tried to lessen my crying, but we both we startled when my phone vibrated. I looked down to my phone and saw, 'Hope you had a good day. Just thinking about you.' Asher did always have good timing. I closed my phone and buried my face into my hands.

The alcohol began twisting my thoughts as my mind raced. Why did I choose Jayden?! Asher doesn't even know what happened, yet he comes to my rescue right when I need it. I made a mistake. Regardless of the destined partner crap, I knew he was the better choice. For the kids and for me, Asher would have been better! Now, I love Jayden, but maybe that's not enough anymore.

When we got home, I rushed out of the car and went quietly up the stairs. Jayden tried to follow, but I went into Addie's room and locked the door. I heard him try the door once before sighing, "we need to finish this discussion."

I came to the door and spoke quietly through it, "I'm done talking for tonight. Let me sleep near my baby."

I heard him quietly walk away and I went to the rocking chair in Addie's room.. I grabbed a blanket and did my best to get comfortable so that I could finally go to sleep.
