Chapter 41

"What the hell were you thinking attacking my sisters?" Caleb demanded, stalking towards Callie who cowered in a corner. Spencer slumped into a chair, glowering at his former girlfriend.

"I was defending myself because Anna attacked me and-"

Spencer interrupted her. "That's because you attacked Elsa!"

"Quiet!" Caleb barked. "Let Callie tell her side and then you can tell yours. Otherwise, be silent."

I'd never seen my mate so irate. I almost believed that if Elsa hadn't told her brother to let Callie go, he might have killed her. Caleb was a relatively easy-going alpha, a jokester even in the right circumstances, but then I reminded myself he was still a Laroche whether he lived with them or not, and the Laroche pack was terrifying, both in their number and in their strength. They were the last pack anyone ever wanted to cross. Somehow we had and we'd survived, but I knew that was because Spencer had saved Ren's life. Arya pardoned us for that reason and that reason only. I never intended to cross her again because as stubborn and as strong as I was, I had nothing on Arya Laroche.

"Elsa told me that she and Spencer never had anything go on between them but she lied. Her scent was all over him and she told me that he told her loved her. Yes, I insulted Elsa but Anna attacked me first."

"Spencer, tell me what happened," Caleb ordered, turning around to face his second.

"Callie accused me of screwing Elsa because she automatically assumed that because I smelled like Elsa, we'd been screwing each other. I told her we'd been practicing our dance routine because it'd been awhile since we'd done it and we needed to remember the steps before the party. She lost her head, saying I was screwing her over and she stormed off. Elsa went after her to try and smooth things over. She explained that she and I had gotten close because we'd both been through similar things and everything we've told Callie over and over again. Elsa even admitted we'd flirted for fun but that it never went farther than that because it didn't. Hear that Callie? It didn't."

"Hey, back on track," Caleb told his second firmly.

"Anyway, then Callie got pissed that I danced ballroom with Elsa but hated it with her. And Elsa was right when she said that maybe Callie and I weren't good partners. I was great with Elsa, not with Callie. What really pissed me off was when Callie told Elsa that she was rebound girl, that I didn't love her, insinuated that Elsa was acting desperate and throwing herself at me and saying she kissed me first, which is true but means nothing, and had great pleasure in pointing out that she was my first time in everything: first girlfriend, first kiss, first time. She ended that with saying that I loved her, not Elsa, and that the only reason I was with Elsa was because I didn't, and I quote, want to break her fragile heart."

"Callie, I told you everything that happened. Why are you still so upset about this?" I asked.

"Because how could he get over me in a year? We dated for seven years!" she cried.
