Hard to Love a Wolf [BOOK 1]

Chapter Twenty-Two

*sorry about all the time skips, just trying to get some ideas and shit going on. Need time to pass quickly*

I gave my brother a side hug as our mother took another photo with him holding his Diploma in hand. As soon as the click stopped, I dropped my fake smile and clapped my brother on his back "Congrats, you barely graduated" I said with a smile as he hit me atop the head with the leather square, making me glare at him.

Sweetpea chuckled and wrapped an arm around my waist. "When are you heading out, baby" mom asked while grabbing his cheeks. "Tomorrow morning, you'll probably be gone for work already" "Don't forget, your mother and I have to go to Pennsylvania. Adelina, if you want to go speak now or forever hold your peace" "I'm staying" I tell my dad as I roll my eyes again. He had been very persistent, trying to get me to come with them. "Alright, let's get to the Den, there's cake for the graduates" mom says, pointing to the serpent graduates who let out a cheer. I rolled my eyes and Sweetpea and I made our way over to his bike, where he headed straight for the bar.

When we got to the bar, we sat outside for a bit. He leaned against his bike and I stood between his legs, head resting in his chest and his around my waist. We were swaying lightly, a thin fog of smoke and scent of whiskey danced around us. It was quiet between the two of us, the only noise was the bit of chatter from the serpents outside and the music through the walls.

"Adelina, you deserve so much better" I furrowed my brows together as I lifted my head to look at Sweetpea, who looked right back down at me. "What the hell are you talking about" I asked while gripping his shirt in my fists. "Look at us, Eli. You know you deserve something better then me, maybe you should be with Archie" I shook my head "I don't want to be with Archie, I want to be with you" "No you don't" "Yes, I do. I really do" I said as tears pricked my eyes.

He shook his head while standing up, grabbing my hands and holding them tightly in his. "Sweetpea, please" "I'm sorry, Adelina." "Pea, please. Don't leave me, don't you fucking dare" I cried as I pressed my face against his chest. "It's what's best for you" "No! What's best for me is you" "I have to go, Adelina" he whispered before pressing a kiss to my temple. He lingered for a minute before he let me go and climbed on his bike. I grabbed his arm "Sweetpea, please. I can fix whatever I did wrong" "You didn't do anything wrong, I promise" I shook my head as he pushed me back a bit before he took off down the alley.

I felt like I was going to choke. My heart was in my throat and hands started to sweat, and my body shook with a violent whimper. I felt someone put a hand on my back, and I turned my head to see Jughead giving me a confused look. I started to cry, and he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me against his chest, whispering that I would be okay. I shook violently in the leaders arms as I wept, and he just let me.
