Forgetting The Painful Effort

Chapter 40

Darrick's POV

"Tell me, or I will ask Darrick to tell me, but then I'm sure that you will be in way more trouble." Devonte says.

I look at the doorway, and I can see that Lewis is standing there with an unimpressed expression.

I don't even notice that he's here until now.

I gesture for him to sit next to me, but he shakes his head.

"Wren." Devonte says sternly, but Wren refuses to say anything.

He has a guilty expression on his face now, and he doesn't even want to look at Devonte.

"You have half of a minute to tell me, or I will get angry." Devonte says, and then he stays quiet for about half of a minute, before he turns to me.

"What were you talking about?" Devonte asks me, so I decide to explain.

"Lewis and I overheard Wren and Tareek's conversation. They agreed that they will..." I say, but Wren interrupts me before I can finish.

"I will tell him. Go away." Wren says with a glare.

"Don't glare at him." Devonte scolds him.

"You had a chance to tell me what's going on, and you didn't, so stay quiet now." Devonte says, before he looks at me again.

"They agreed that they will convince the doctor to remove Tareek's womb." I say.

Devonte looks at Wren, to see if he has something to say, and it's silent for a long while, before Wren stand up and he tries to leave the room.

"Don't let him." Devonte says to Lewis, so my mate tries to stop Wren from leaving.

He's not strong enough to do it, but this gives Devonte enough time to stand up and grab Wren's hand.

"Don't touch me." Wren says, and Devonte growls at him.

"Where is Tareek?" Devonte asked him angrily.

"Nowhere." Wren says.

"We might be brothers and share a mate, but I won't hesitate to lock you in the cellars for this, if you won't tell me where Tareek is." Devonte says.

I don't think that I ever saw him when he was this angry, not even after Logan hurt Tareek.

"He's in the pack hospital, and he's either getting ready for the surgery, or he's already having one." Lewis says, when he realised that Wren won't say anything.

He's most likely hoping that Devonte will forget that he said it for Wren, and that he won't be angry at his brother.

Devonte doesn't even ask him how he knows it, before he pulls Wren with him harshly, leading him towards the front door.

When they're gone, Lewis and I look at each other, and the both for us look annoyed.

I'm annoyed, because he didn't tell me that he was helping Wren and Tareek, and he's most likely annoyed because I decided to tell Devonte everything.

"Are you happy now?" He asks me, and I frown slightly.

"I had to tell him about it." I say, and he shakes his head.

"I don't want to talk with you for now." He says, before he leaves the house too.
