CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

I went back into the bathroom and washed my face, to make me look better. I was looking like someone they kissed properly which they did. I went back in search of chandler and I met him still sitting at the bar where I left him. "Hey, you okay? You were gone for a long time" he said in concern "Yes, there was a line and I had to wait" I told him I felt bad for lying to him but I just couldn't tell him the truth that I was pinned against the wall and kissed by my ex mate. "Alright, still want to dance or you want to go catch up with the rest of the gang?" He asked me The second option was looking better than the first, I needed to talk to Camilla about this. "Let's go meet up with them" I said He led me through the mass of bodies till we found them huddled in corner. The only person missing was Rohan. Big surprise! "Hey, where have you two been?" Camilla was the first to question us. "We were just dancing and drinking at the bar" chandler was the one to talk Camilla looked at me with that curious eyes, she couldn't say anything in front of these people so she texted me with her phone. My phone vibrated immediately but I took my time because I didn't want it to be obvious that we were talking about something. The text read "your lips look swollen, anything you want to say?" I almost laughed out loud at her mother hen body language. She was staring at me with one raised brow and her hands pinned to her lips. "Your brother" I texted back. Those simple words were enough to get her into action. "Okay you guys, we have to get going. Avilla and I. We have some things to sort at her house" she said quickly. The boys shared their agreement into ending the party early. We said our goodbyes and Chandler kissed me on the cheek making Ben narrow his eyes at me but I couldn't care less. Camilla drove us both to my house, she said she had her overnight bag ready Just in case, apparently she always has it in her car when she is coming to my place. 'You never know what might prompt a sleepover" she said. We got to the house and I let us in with my key, we went straight up to my room. Flopping down on the bed, she said "start talking". . I sighed knowing this was coming. I narrated the whole ordeal starting from when he pulled me to him when I wanted to go dance to the part where he kissed me. I didn't leave out any detail from the story. 'how dare he?!" Camilla exclaimed "That was my exact thought" I told her "It is true werewolves are possessive but I didn't think he would still be feeling that way after he had rejected you" "Your brother is a jerk" I told her. "That much is true" she agreed with me. I was so angry that I wanted him and hated him at the same time for what he did to me. Laying claim to me when he flat out rejected me in the first place. I hated it!!! I wanted to ask Camilla for advice on how to get back at her brother but I didn't want her to be in the middle of this feud. It was clear he wanted to be with me but he couldn't because of the law, rejecting me was cruel of him. Why didn't he act more like his sister who hung out with her mate however she can without fearing for the consequences. I hated him for putting me in the position where I hate him for rejecting me and understanding why he did what he did. "How about we get back at him for what he did?" Camilla asked me I was taken aback by what she said, she was serious judging from the look on her face. I could not believe what she just said, she was willing to get back at her own brother just to make me happy. "What?!" I asked "Listen, we know the only thing capable of garnering a reaction from him is jealousy. So we are going to make you flirt with Ben or chandler, which ought to make him go crazy" she said with glee. This girl was an evil genius, this what a great idea. He was very possessive and it would help me drive him crazy. "Camilla, you crazy genius!" I called out She smirked "I know one or two things that can drive my brother crazy" We spent most of the time concocting a plan that would go well on Monday when I start school again. I was going to be dressed differently in a way that would make everyone notice me even Ben seeing as I was going to be in the same class as he was. My wolf smiled evilly, she was on board with the plan as much as it pained her to play games with our mate. When we concluded for the night and I had agreed to Camilla's plans and everything, she was going to sleepover on Sunday, so she could help me prepare the cold dish of revenge. She left a while later with a promise to return on Sunday for a sleepover, I saw her off to the door and stayed there till she drove off. I looked back to the house then towards the woods. I can choose to return and sleep or let my wolf out for a run. I went to the back of the tree and stripped my clothes, I haven't learnt how to shift without ripping my clothes so I take them off whenever, and I felt my bones cracking. It hurts but a little lesser than the first time. I let my wolf take control.
