His Trouble Maker

Chapter 119

JESSICA

I don’t fucking know their plans.

It’s been a day since I’ve bitten Theo and Grayson is still not doing anything except stare out the cabin window like he’s expecting them to come crashing through the trees any minute. My gums ache with the memory of breaking skin, of tasting Theo’s blood.

“Are we not going to find him?”

“You’ve really fucked us this time,” Pierce says, tossing another log onto the fire. The cabin smells like pine and blood and fear. “Rogues don’t last long out here. Not when you’ve pissed off an entire pack.”

Grayson crosses the room in three strides, grabbing my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. I can feel my pupils dilating. “I fucking told you. Why are you choosing to believe in him rather than me?”

My wolf rises to the surface, hackles raised. I shove him away with strength I didn’t know I had, my nails extending into claws that leave thin red lines across his chest.
