Chapter 97
Caleb’s P.O.V
I shook my head at the ridiculous behavior, laughing at Caroline as she stormed up the stairs. The rest of the girls did turn to give me a mean look even though I hadn’t done anything, but I guess that was how girl gangs worked?
Jade, having witnessed the whole incident, gave me a ‘what–did–you–do–this–time‘ look. Shaking my head at her antics, I told fade why Caroline had been so upset. But instead of laughing at the joke, he seemed to be deep in thought.
“Come on,
man!” I shook my head, slapping my hand on his shoulder to snap him out of that look. “It was a joke. Of course Caroline isn’t gay!”
“I know.” Jade nodded. “But that’s not what I was thinking about.”
“Then what were you thinking about?” I raised my eyebrows at him.
I had been just joking! Seriously! Aurora was already my mate and even if Caroline was gay…which I knew she wasn’t, I think…there was no way in hell 1 was letting her near Aurora again if she thought she was going to steal my girl.
“It’s about what you said.” This time, when Jade’s golden eyes met mine, they were dead serious. “When exactly did you notice this connection between them? Before or after you found out Aurora was your mate?”
Now that was a good question. When did I even notice this connection? Was I mistaken about this whole thing? Making scenarios in my head that weren’t actually real? Was there any real point in even bringing this up?
“I…I never really paid attention to Aurora until about a month ago.” I admitted sheepishly, feeling terrible for my past actions. “And Aurora never really got close to Caroline until-”
But then I did remember when I had first noticed this connection between Caroline and Aurora, and it had been a long time ago, way before my birthday.
‘I’m not trying to force you together, Caleb. I genuinely think there’s something wrong with Mr. Hemming. Did you even notice how he was looking at Aurora today? When the class was emptying out? It was almost like he was anticipating something.‘
Caroline’s words from ages ago came to my mind. It had been the day that wretched math teacher had tried to force himself on Aurora. Even thinking about that scumbag made my blood boil… but that had been where it had started. Caroline had known something was off when I had failed to notice it.
And when we had found Aurora afterwards, she had accepted Caroline, with open arms, the same way she had done the night I had brought her to the pack house to get treated.
None of us had called Caroline to the room that night, when Aurora had woken up in panic after seeing me in my wolf form…but she had known…and she had come to help. If it hadn’t been for Caroline, I don’t think any of us would have been able to take care of Aurora, especially since she was freaking out big time, her life having turned upside down just moment ago.
“It was right from the start.” I told Jade now, my frown deepening as well. “Caroline and Aurora had never really crossed paths until that day in the cafeteria when Mia was being a bitch, but even then, Caroline had known that Aurora was in trouble that time the math teacher tried to pull shit. She had known when Aurora had been trying to escape from the pack house as well and had calmed her down from her panic attack. Fuck! What’s going on?”
This whole gut feeling of mine was turning into some kind of ominous shit that I was now getting weary of. Why the fuck did I even have to open my mouth? Shit! I should’ve just kept it to myself.
ture Alpha and I was
But would that really have helped? Since I was a child, my parents had taught me not to ignore gut feelings like this. I was
n of them were completely supposed to have stronger senses than most wolves…however, I had no idea what this connection between them even mean different individuals, not just in personality but they belonged to different species. Wolf and human. Then how could the two of them even be linked?
“Do you think I’m overthinking or just…jealous of the connection that Care has with Aurora?” asked Jade, since he was always an impartial judge. “I mean…I really want to be there for Aurora but when she really needs someone, it’s always Care she turns to.”
“That’s normal, I guess.” Jade shrugged, adjusting his glasses. “They’re both women and Caroline makes her feel safe. As for you being jealous? I have no idea. You need to figure your feelings out yourself on this one. I have no mate, so I can’t really tell.”
“But so you really think I’m grasping at straws here or is something really going on and we’re not aware of this?” I asked again, just to be certain,
