Chapter 16 - Ready To Apologize?

 Hayden's POV

It's been three days since the last time I spoke to Zara, and she's been giving her undivided attention to everyone else. I mean, we were all having a group discussion the other day, and I gave my input in it but she just nodded and then turned to Lilly and started a whole new conversation. She just ignored me! Just like that.

  Right now, she was in the lounge playing Sleeping Dogs with the guys. Conner kept glancing at me confused that Zara was just bluntly ignoring me but I just glared at the wall. I don't know what's the big deal about what I said. She's just being a spoilt, stubborn, sexy brat...sexy--really Hayden? That's the best you could do with an insult? I mentally growled in annoyance with myself and went to sit on the couch, beside Zara. She froze then cleared her throat.

"Guys, I'm gonna go...get some more popcorn," she said getting up.

"We don't need popcorn," I protested. She glared at me and then went to the kitchen. I groaned and put my head in my heads.

"Dude, why the hell is she ignoring you like a vegetarian ignores meat?" Logan asked. Everyone looked at him weirdly at his way of comparing but he just shrugged his shoulders. I rolled my eyes and looked at James.

 "Well...why is she ignoring you?" he asked impatiently. I sighed.

 "Last week we had this little argument---" I started but Conner me off when he raised his finger and said something to Abigale in her ear. She nodded and then looked at Lilly and Jenna then they all went to the kitchen.

 "What was that about?" I asked him. He shook his head and signaled me to continue.

 "Don't worry about it, just continue," he stated and I raised my eyebrow curiously at him but continued nonetheless.

 "Anyways, well we had an argument. It started when I asked her to be in my pack and when she said no I was shocked and then angry. My wolf desperately wanted her to be in the pack and when she said no, it was hell. Then I started shouting at her, saying some things about her and her past and her family. Then when I insulted her brother that drew the line and she just slapped me in the face and said that he wasn't the worthless one, I was," I finished. I looked up and saw James and Conner glancing and each other and before I knew it, both of them slapped me at the back of my head.

"What the hell was that for?!" I growled at them. Conner shook his head in disapproval.

 "One, you never insult your girl. It only leads to you not getting anything," James started.

 "Two, you've only known the girl for...let's just say barely for about two weeks. Why the hell would you go and insult her family? You don't even know them," Conner stated.

 "Yeah, why the hell would you do that, you ass?" James asked. I growled at him warningly, my wolf not liking the 'ass' comment. James just rolled his eyes and kicked back in the couch. I narrowed my eyes at him then turned to Conner.

 "What else did you say?" he asked. I shrugged at him.

 "That's basically it; I don't know what's the big deal,"

 "I want real words Hayden. What did you say in words? Give me some of the words that you said about her," he demanded. I sighed.

 "What, about insulting her?" I asked and he nodded, "uhh...I said that rogues were just worthless, disrespectful and I think I said something about them being a disgrace to our kind," I said then watched as James slapped the palm of his hand on his forehead.
