Chapter 34

Danny POV

It’s been two weeks sense our fight and graduation and she hasn’t said one word to me sense that day. She was going to move out of our bedroom, but I refused to let her. Instead I had been sleeping on the couch in the main living room that the pack used. Let me tell you sleeping on a couch for two weeks sucks, although it wasn’t like I was getting much sleep anyways. Most of my nights were spent me pacing back and forth or when things were at their worse, I spent my time outside doing anything to take my head off of it, but there wasn’t anything that could. Seeing her everyday was lethal to not only my heart but my mind too. Nothing in the pack was getting done, mainly because I couldn’t think long enough to do anything. Both Brandon and Connor were stepping up big time; they were both practically running the pack. I had talked to them about stepping down as Alpha and letting the two of them step up, because it wasn’t like I was capable of completing the job any more, but they both refused. They told me they had no problem taking most of the work loud for the time being, but there was no way in hell they were going to let me loose my mate, my dream, and my pack. Connor told me to keep my head up and promised things would get better, although I couldn’t see that happening. The longer things went on the worse they felt like they were getting, yet each day I still woke up and held my head as I as I could manage.

 It felt impossible to keep my head high though. Her whole façade had change completely. It was a dramatic change for two weeks. She wasn’t smiling any more and her clothes weren’t as bright and happy anymore either. She looked exactly like Sioux. She was just getting more and more pregnant, but she wouldn’t even tell me anything about the baby either. Anything that I knew about the baby and pregnancy was because I forced her to let me to go to the doctor appointments or begged Ellisa and Mia to tell me if she said anything. Even though my grandfather left right after the gradation like I told him to, she was still in battle mode. Always fighting with everyone and everything that had a pulse. I tried to talk to her at least everyday, anything to get her to open up to me, but she refused to give me any type of time.

“You look like shit.” Andrew greeted me from where he stood leaning against the doorframe. I had been sitting on the couch at the time, running my hands through my grimy hair. “Thanks, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear.” I mumbled quietly not having enough energy to do or say anything else. He sighed heavily before walking into the room and sat down on the couch. “You fell for it.” He informed me without explaining what I fell for, nor did it bother me enough to ask him. “He won and neither of you can see that.” “Andrew get the hell away from me, I’m not in the fucking mood to decipherer riddles.” Andrew growled in the back of his throat both thundering to his feet. “It’s not fucking riddles Danny! He won, you let his mind games win and now he has the upper hand again!” “Andrew when are you people going to get it, I don’t fucking care who’s winning this! I just want everything back, not have to worry about my Grandfather attempting to destroy my life!” “Well Danny wake the hell up and look around! You’re loosing, because you’re sitting here like a lost puppy and have been for the last two weeks. You’re letting him destroy your life and you aren’t even putting up a dam fight!” “Andrew, you don’t under…” “Danny, don’t tell me I don’t understand! I better then anyone else understands what he is capable of doing. He almost destroyed my chance with Mia and you’re the one that saved it. I’m not going to let it happen to you.” I didn’t respond to him though and just walked out of the room.

It wasn’t like I wasn’t trying. I was trying and doing anything that I thought was going to hep. The problem was becoming that the more I tried the smaller the list was getting of new things to try. Nothing was seeming to work no matter what I did. I tried to talk to her, appoligize, explain to her what I met, right her notes. I was doing anything and everything, but each time it seemed easier to talk to a wall, at least the wall couldn’t move away from me when I was trying to talk.
