Chapter Thirty Five.

I was back at my rogue's house and as soon as I walked through the door everyone froze. They could probably sense my anger, everyone waited for me to say something but I was more worried about Chuck than anything else.

"Is Chuck okay? Did he make it back here?" I said as I sank into one of the loveseats and draped my legs over the side.

"Chuck is in his room sleeping," Kyla replied, I sighed and closed my eyes and rested my head on the soft couch.

"I can't believe you all hid this from me, did you even fight for him?" I wasn't going to raise my voice. I didn't have the energy, I just wanted to run home to Ben and snuggle with him but I knew that he needed to know what he did was wrong.

"There was nothing to fight for, he knows he has a part in this," Graham said harshly, I looked over at him and glared.

"This wasn't his fault, this was really no one's fault," even though I may have told Ben otherwise. "Freak accidents happen and you can't turn on your friends because of it."

"Chuck got everything he deserved; he shouldn't have kissed you when you have a mate. Because of him everything got so fucked up, it was his fault. It was his fault you were taken for months and almost raped and had a miscarriage!" Graham shouted angrily, he stood up and I got to my feet and stared at him.

"It is no one's fault but Clayton's! He did all of that to me, not Chuck. All of you turned your back against him and he is like our family. We are like a family and we are supposed to be able to trust that all of us will have each other's back. What the fuck is wrong with you?" I was starting to get worked up, Graham was testing my patience.

"What is wrong with you? You had a miscarriage and you were kidnapped for months and Clayton almost raped you! You act as if nothing has happened but something has happened! You are not the same person we knew before you were taken. I don't like this new you, the miss I-don't-have-any-problems-even-though-I'm-sad-all-the-time." Graham went to walk out of the room but I grabbed his arm in surprise.

"What happened to the passive guy who was like my brother?" I asked, I was honestly wondering where he went. I missed the Graham that stuck by my side even when I was making bad choices.

"I'm not the one whose changed, you have," Graham said and shrugged out of my grip, he looked beyond pissed and it gave me an unsettling feeling.

"Break it up you two, Graham go cool off somewhere," Jacob said and then grabbed my arm and pushed me onto the couch.

"I'm sorry about him; he's been getting on everyone's nerves lately. Even mine, he's worried about little things that have no relevance anymore," Tatum said to me as she took a sip out of her piping hot mug.

"Why didn't you guys tell me? I asked you over and over again where the hell Chuck was and you all knew," I sounded tired and I knew the people in this room could tell I was exhausted.

"We didn't want to upset you, plus Ben said he would tell you in due time," Kyla responded, I rolled my eyes at them. I was still angry but I was not in the mood to fight.

"Ben was never going to tell me, would you have just let Chuck rot down there?" I asked, they all shook their heads but I knew the real answer. "I'm going to go check on him," I said and pulled myself off of the oh so soft couch, Kyla went to stop me but I shook out of their grip.

"Don't be so angry with us, you would have done the same thing," Jacob said, I turned to look at him. I'm sure the disbelief that I felt was showing on my face.
