Brent came sauntering into my office with a large grin on his face. I was upset about Jerome. Why did he storm away? Why does he hate his brother so much? Would he have really killed him if I hadn't intervened?

All these questions were swimming around in my head. Brent pulled me into him and kissed me. I was pissed. I pushed him back and glared at him. "What the hell." I whisper yelled at him.

He only smirked in response, "you weren't complaining last week when I took you against that tree." He growled as he bit his lip. As soon as the words left his lips, I heard a deep growl. I looked over to the door, my eyes widened as I saw Jerome standing there, his eyes gave away the pain he was feeling. But he soon covered it with anger. My stomach dropped and immense guilt flooded through me. I looked at the ground. He walked away, but I soon followed.

"Jerome. Wait!" I yelled after him. Brent caught my arms, a jealous look in his steel orbs.

"Why do you care about what that fool thinks?" Brent snapped his grip was becoming dangerously tight. I ripped my arms from his grasp.

"That 'fool' is my mate," I spat "and if you ever lay a hand on me like that again, I'll rip them off." I growled and ran in the direction that my mate stormed off in. I spent hours looking for him, but it was like he had completely disappeared and I was beginning to worry. He had to be somewhere.

I sighed as I pushed open the double doors that lead into the gym and I was shocked to see him standing there granted he was beating the life out of a punching bag, people were beginning to clear out but it looked like he was just getting started, I've never seen a gaze so angry and what hurts the most is that it was my fault. I had hurt him and for what a few hours of freedom. God, I am so stupid. I walked to where he was; I stood right behind him; I was about to speak when he did.

"You need to leave." He said lowly so others around us didn't hear us. His icy tone hurt.

"Jerome please, I... I just need to explain. What happened I- it meant nothing, I was confused and I shouldn't have done it." I pleaded. He laughed dryly before he turned to face me, his face void of any emotion.

"I was confused, I was just as shocked as you difference is I didn't jump into bed with anyone," He growled and I could see the anger seeping in. "Just leave me alone, I need to get my anger under control before I do something I regret. Please, just give me some space." He basically begged. I looked down and nodded before turning around and walked out of the gym.

Jerome's been ignoring me for weeks. He trains at different times; he locks himself in his room afterwards; he doesn't come to pack dinners, nor does he come to meetings. It was like he was content with not seeing me. I, on the other hand, was antsy all the time. I had become a real bitch. I was snapping at my pack and I couldn't even look at Brent, all I could think about was Jerome. I wanted to fix things. To make things right. I needed to.

I walked to his room, and I was about to knock, and then I hesitated. If he wanted to talk to me, he would have. But then again, I was in the wrong. I hurt him. I sighed turning on my feet I left and began walking until I was in my office where I slumped into my chair and put my head in my hands and shut my eyes trying to fight back the tears everything was such a mess I was such a mess.

I heard the door to my office open, but I didn't bother looking up, I already knew who it was.

"Bridget-" He started, but I growled, cutting him off I stood up and slammed my hands onto the desk.

"It's Alpha to you," I spat Brent's face dropped as soon as the words fell from my lips a pang of regret ran through me but I ignored it "do you need something?" I asked a little less harshly he nodded sheepishly.

"I need you to talk to me," he said surprising me I could only stare at him "I feel terrible, you're miserable because of Jerome and I feel like I should do something about it so please talk to me." He mumbled softly I had to hold back a scoff.

"I'm not miserable because of Jerome, I'm miserable because I hurt him." I hissed, causing Brent to frown.

"But you did nothing wrong." He said stupidly I rolled my eyes.

"I slept with you." I growled out. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes, and it wasn't the first time, it's not like we decided to fuck as soon as he arrived, we've been doing it for months." He grumbled I gripped the desk tightly and glared at him.

"And that is the problem! I should have never gotten involved with you in the first place Brenton it was unprofessional and now it's a problem." I snapped at him, my eyes darkening slightly.

"A problem?" He asked as he sat down. I nodded.

"That's what I said."

"This is all because of that freak! He turned you against me!" Brent muttered angrily, more to himself than I.

"No Brent, the agreement was no strings attached. It was purely physical. You caught feelings, not the other way around." I mumbled.

Brent stood to his feet quickly and stormed over to me. His eyes were full of anger.

"Well, if that's all I am to you, I best get going." He growled as he turned around.

"Brent!" I called out he stopped to look at me "I expect you to act accordingly, this cannot affect your professionalism, I'm still Alpha and you're the Beta. So act wisely." I ordered. He nodded and left.

I was officially done with the day. I went to look for Theo since they had released him from hospital today. I had set him up in a room on my floor, the room next door to mine so he could come in anytime if he needed me. I knocked on the door to his room and entered. I smiled at what I saw he was sitting on his bed playing with two children from the pack.

"Hey, baby. I had someone make you dinner. It's in the kitchen." I said as I smiled at him. He came running over to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back. He made me feel so much better. I kissed his forehead and stood to my feet. I looked towards his friends, "aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" I asked, winking at him. He grinned and pulled me towards the two children.

"This is Corey. He is really funny. He helped me at the hospital when I was lost. And this is his sister Rose, and we're getting married when we're older." He said excitedly causing me to laugh, Rose looked shocked. Rose. She had the same name as my little sister, I smiled at them.

"Married, huh?" I said, hiding my amusement. He nodded excitedly.

"You can't marry my sister dude. That's gross." Said Corey, making Theo pout and me laugh. I shook my head at them.

"Well, you guys have funned I'll be in my room if you need me okay?" I said, and Theo nodded. I shut the door behind me, but what I heard made me smile brightly.

"She's going to be my new mommy."

I retreated back to my room and curled up under the covers, wishing for the day to end quicker. After a while, I had finally fallen asleep.
