Counterback of the Despised Luna

Chapter 14 They Started Bickering Again

Rosaline’s POV

The sunlight had already flooded the room when I woke up from the nightmare.

I absentmindedly looked around, trying to piece together how I had ended up here. Then my gaze met Caden’s, and the warmth of his hand in mine made me realize I had been holding onto him.

I quickly pulled my hand away and sat up. “What are you doing here?“.

Caden only stared at me instead of answering me. It only took a moment before the truth hit me.

It seemed that he had been the one to save me

Last night. I had been nearly overwhelmed by the effects of the wolfsbane, barely holding on to consciousness long enough to send him a message.

I didn’t trust anyone here, but despite all our tension, Caden was the only one from the Eclipse Pack I could

Tum to

Caden looked exhausted. His eyes were bloodshot with fatigue and I could see that he hadn’t rested.

I tried to recall what had happened while I was unconscious, feeling embarrassed. I smiled awkwardly.

“Thank you for bringing me back,” I said, but then my confusion set in again. “But why are you still in my room?”

If he had brought me here, he could have left once I was settled. There was no need to stay the night.

Caden’s expression shifted back to its usual coldness. “Who was it that wouldn’t let go of my hand last night, huh

I was speechless.

Well, I guess I owed him a debt of gratitude now.

“But… I wasn’t conscious. You were the one awake. You could’ve let go of me while I was asleep,” I retorted in embarrassment.

“So now I’m wrong for staying and watching over you all night?” he countered.

“I… I didn’t mean it like that.”

I couldn’t argue with him, though. His actions felt so out of character, so unlike the cold, distant Caden I was

used to.

Caden’s face tightened with frustration. I instinctively shrank back into a submissive position, trying to appear more like an Omega in his presence.

He probably regretted not leaving me alone sooner.

Then, he spoke again, his tone colder than before. “I’ll handle what happened last night. I owe you an explanation for your exposure to wolfsbane in the warehouse. Don’t get the wrong idea. The only reason 1 stayed was because I didn’t want anything else happening to you. I’m doing this for Grandpa, not for you.

I nodded, though his words were anything but comforting,

Once he returned to his usual cold self, I did too, I shot him a look of annoyance. “You’re the one overthinking. I don’t go around making moves on people”
