"I was addressing Nevaeh." He replied simply and exited the kitchen before I could speak up again.

"Woah," Jaxon stated after a moment of silence, filled with a shocked expression from Marcus.

"'Woah' is an understatement," Marcus mumbled and picked up his plate, then picked up Jaxon's before he could finish.

"Do I look done?" Jaxon asked him and Marcus brushed him off, taking the plate from him and walking over to the sink.

"What got sucked up his ass?" Marcus asked, directing it at me.

"Your guess is as good as mine," I sighed and sat down on the kitchen stools, rubbing my eyes in exhaustion.

"I don't understand how things escalated like that," He continued and began washing the dishes in front of me.

"Yeah, the dude was on his period - most definitely." Jaxon snorted and walked over to the couch and laid out with his legs over the arm.

"He shouldn't have spoken to you like that," Marcus replied and I nodded, trying to contain my raging wolf. "Your his Luna, he needs to know his place."

Regardless of werewolf status in a Pack, Enzo just wasn't a very nice person - he said whatever he wanted - just like our Mate. But with Enzo it was different, it was like every word that came out felt like ten knives stabbed into my chest. - an unwelcomed exaggeration but the concept still holds.

"But Enzo had a point though," Jaxon mumbled, loud enough for me to hear. I shot my head towards his direction, squinting my eyes at the back of the couch.

"She's staring at me right now, isn't she." Jaxon said louder and poked his head up to face us. "Look, I just mean that Enzo was there during all the alleged shit that went down with the past Luna,"

"So you condone his behavior?" I asked him, my tone warning.

"No, his delivery was completely wrong, and he owes you an apology for that." Jaxon said seriously and I let out a sigh,

"He's just so fucking irritating!" I bursted out in frustration. "It's like, everything I do or say is judged by him! He's literally my biggest critic! It's like Enzo is constantly waiting for me to fuck up!" I bursted out, my hands flying out in exaggeration.

Always waiting for me to fuck things up..

"Luna?" Madeline's raspy voice filled the room, and I turned around to face her.

"What?!" I spat and quickly caught myself, "I'm sorry, I'm just so-..what were you after Madeline?" I asked her, more calmly.

"Mrs Macy is here waiting for you." She replied and my eyes widened.

I wasn't expecting her today. We had scheduled our lesson for the next week.

"Thank you, Madeline." I replied and jumped off of the stool and walked out of the kitchen to the foyer, where I spotted Mrs Macy's round frame and beautiful curly black hair.

A smile was visible on her lips and she stepped towards me, arms spread out. I returned it, walking towards her and pulling her in for a hug.

The moment her arms wrapped around me, a let out an exasperated sigh and breathed in her scent.

"Honey, your energy is all off." She said sweetly and released me, placing her hands on my forearms, giving them a little squeeze. "What's going on?" She asked me and I shook my head.
