* I had learned a long time ago how to still my features so no one could read me. Right now, though I looked calm as could be on the outside, on the inside I was shaking with fear. I have never seen Beck so upset. He was normally the level headed Alpha, the one who could get his point across with just a talk. But tonight was a different story, tonight he was in pure pissed off Alpha mode and I wasn't sure any of us were going to come out of this standing. I gave +Cole Ross one look and wished that I hadn't. I had never seen so much anger pointed at me. After watching Beck manhandle Mia and treat Rae like she was a rag doll. I hoped that Cole couldn't be so harsh with me. Though if he was, I couldn't deny that I didn't deserve it. I watched as Cole slowly walked over to me and he sighed. * "Tell me that you didn't have anything to do with this." * I shook my head no and felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes. * It would be a lie, if I did. * "Jesus, Jules. What were you thinking? * He spoke to me quietly, he wasn't overly rude. * "Get your ass to the pickup." * I nodded, turned on my heels, and headed out the doors of the bar and into a very uncertain fate. *

* I drove us home in silence. Jules was upset, hell everyone in our inner circle of friends and family was upset. Pulling into our driveway, I parked and shut off the engine before turning to my mate.* We'll go inside and talk. I want the full story,Jules. * I wasn't going to manhandle her or scream at her. She did something wrong and someone could have been hurt but, I know my girl and she isn't evil. We got out and headed inside. Jules hung her coat up while I slung mine over the arm of the couch. Jules sat down, tears streaking her face. I started a fire and stood there watching it to compose myself. Taking a deep breath, I turned to my mate, one hand on the fireplace mantle, the other in my pocket. Jules stiffened when I looked at her.* Tell me Jules. What were you ladies thinking? And if you're worried I'm angry, I'm beyond angry so, tell me your side of this. Then we will discuss your punishment.
ReplyDelete* Cole's anger was palpable, I could see it in his face, his posture and the way he looked at me. * "Tell me Jules. What were you ladies thinking? And if you're worried I'm angry, I'm beyond angry so, tell me your side of this. Then we will discuss your punishment." * I wiped at my tears and took a deep breath. How did you explain something so stupid and try to justify it? * I don't know what to say. Honestly. We acted like spoiled brats and set in motion this foolish plan. Chloe and Meg were just tired of being held prisoner inside their homes. So R....I hatched the plan to get them out. It was all me Cole. This is my fault.
ReplyDelete* I listened but, I didnt fully believe her. I knew she was covering for someone. Was it my sister, Rea? I arched a brow at her and shook my head.* Jules, sweetheart. You don't have to cover for Rea. She's in a lot of trouble too, so you trying to take them blame won't change that. Understand? * I went to her and, knelt in front of her. Taking her hands in mine, I looked her in the eye.* Just tell me, Jules. Beck has to deal with her. I won't be overly angry at her. I just want the truth before I decide what to do. Okay?
ReplyDelete* I looked down at our joined hands and wondered how long it would be before he ever touched me so gently again. * The truth is, is that I thought of this plan and implemented it. Yes, Rae went along with it, but it was initially me who thought it out. I know that Mia can be a little sketchy, so the minute she felt like one of us, she offered the sedative to help us get Chloe and Meg out of the house. * Cole dropped my hands and my heart fell into my belly. * This is on me, Cole. I could tell you that the years of being sheltered and not allowed out of the house was my reasoning, but truly there is no excuse for my actions. I was foolish, reckless and caused a lot of heartache. I'm so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI know you are. But, sorry won't fix it. I stood up and paced in front of the fire, thinking about how to punish my mate. I hated even having to think about this but, I couldn't let it go or she might think she could get away with anything. Stopping, I looked at her. Her face was red and tear streaked, I knew she felt bad , plus she had to see Beck in the morning. Sighing, I moved to stand in front of her.* Jules. Beck will want to talk to you. * Her eyes widened.* There's nothing I can do about that, or what he deems necessary. I will tell you this, I won't leave you. The thought never crossed my mind. Now, for me punishing you. This is what will happen. You will write a letter to Beck, Ian and Vincent to apologize. And, I am going to tan your backside. Understand?
ReplyDelete* All I could do is nod. I was ashamed of my actions and deserved more punishment. I was sure that I would get that in the morning when I faced Beck. Cole sighed. * "It's late, let's go to bed Jules. I don't know what's going to happen in the morning, but you're going to need your rest." * I looked up at Cole surprised. He held his hand out to me and I slid mine in to his his. Standing, I looked into his eyes, trying to read him. * "Jules, this could have turned out really bad. Possibly with someone dead. You will never do anything this careless or harmful again." * I shook my head. * I promise. * He kissed my forehead. * "Good, go wash up and get ready for bed. I'll close up and be there in a minute."
