Alexa Weinstein and The Blood Unravel

Chapter 16

Alexa

Next day, she had woken up to find that Michael has gone declaring that he had some pack business to take care of. She was seated in the kitchen with Sofia and Jake, telling them what happened to her mother and the diary she found.

“What did she look like?” Sofia asked, softly touching Alexa’s hand.

The seat beside her felt cold, empty without Michael. After the kiss, something had sparked between them, as they kept on looking at each other. Then as soon as it happened, Michael had got up and left telling that he’d better go before something she regrets happened. What could possibly happen between them that she’d regret unless.... her face grew warm as realization settled in.

“Earth to Alexa,” said Jake, eyes glimmering with amusement, “thinking about our son again.”

“How’d you know?” Alexa said, face growing much redder by the second under his watchful gaze.

“Honey, werewolves can sense what the other is feeling,” Sofia said.

“Does that mean Michael can sense what I-”

“That you’ll have to ask from him yourself. See, it’s different with mates and you been a vampire and all, I honestly don’t know,” Jake said. “You still didn’t answer our question seeing that you were preoccupied with warm thoughts and all,” he said, grinning, while Sofia pinched his hand telling him to shut up. But unfortunately, it only made his grin wider. So that’s where it came to Michael, she thought.

“She was pale, as if all the life was sucked out of her,” she said, softly, her world darkening again.

There was a heavy silence until Jake stood up so fast that his chair toppled over causing them to jump.

“Jake Greymund!” Sofia snapped.

“Sorry babe, it’s just. I am so furious. Firstly, those blood sucking parasites take my father away from me and now my loving sister making my niece an orphan. I am going to rip them by my own hands, no need of going wolf,” he said, the veins in his arms, pulsing.

“Hey, calm down darling,” said Sofia, getting up and hugging him till his breathing calmed.

“I want to avenge my mother’s death. I want to take revenge. Maybe I am a mere human, a nobody, just a half vamp and all but they are going to get it,” Alexa said which made them look at her proudly.

“Don’t think that we’ll let you go alone. We’re in,” said Jake.

“Thank you,” she said, gratefully and went to do her normal chores.

“Hey Michael,” she said as he came after meeting in the Pack House, which she still hasn’t seen.

Soon after the kiss they hadn’t met together yet but Michael just nodded his head, acknowledging that he heard and went upstairs directly without even bothering to look at her. What’s up with him? Did I do something wrong? Does he regret the kiss? she thought as her chest began to hurt, please not again, he’s the one who started it and now.
