Chapter 17

**

Kain slowly steps out of the room. As the air hits his face, he picks up Jessie's scent nearby and anger builds up within him. Emily almost had a major breakdown because of her lies. Perhaps it is finally time for her to leave.
Why does she have to poke her nose into Emily's affairs?
He takes long strides to one of the guest rooms where he expects to find Jessie. But as he reaches, her scent goes farther and farther away like he is heading in the wrong direction. Deciding to focus on his wolf for direction, he retraces his steps with his nose this time and he finds himself going to his room.
"What are you doing here?" He growls as he opens the door and finds Jessie on his bed. Thankfully this time she has her clothes. The last time he found her on his bed, he told her to leave but she is back without warning.
As she hears his voice she jumps to her feet and approaches Kain. "Baby, why are you being so distant towards me? Don't you want me anymore?" She begs.
"I thought we have been over this conversation!" Kain hisses.
"No, baby we've not. Just a few days ago you loved me-" she begins to say but Kain cuts her words.
"I never loved you, Jessie!" He growls.
The words seem to be like a catalyst for her as tears start flowing from her eyes almost immediately after the words are said. "Kain you did! You still do. You love me and I love you. Don't allow this girl to come between us." She says, sobbing.
Kain doesn't like Jessie dating her was only to keep some company around him, now his decision was coming to hit him in the ass.
"It's because if Emily isn't it!" Jessie blurts and Kain's eyes morphed into a different color as the anger he already had building doubles over.
"I do not want to hear anything concerning Emily from your lips!" His voice is so loud, the whole room rattles from the intensity.
Jessie's tongue is stuck in her mouth and searches for the right words to say. She had noticed that talking about Emily always riled Kain up but she was determined to save him from the street rat whether he wanted to it not.
"If you can't live peacefully in this house with her in it. Then I am afraid you have overstayed your welcome!" Kain adds as he walks to the dresser, away from her.
He didn't want to hurt Jessie. Somehow, he found that one thing difficult to do but if she kept disturbing and making his name uncomfortable, then he'll have no choice but to send her away from himself.
"Kain, she is stealing from you and she's cheating you. You won't believe me now but I'll get enough proof. Unlike today, next time, I will bring evidence." She states, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
"Do whatever you want but just keep away from her." Kain was starting to wonder how he had managed to be with so many women in the past and survived the ordeal. Women, especially really clingy ones like Jessie were impossible to get rid of.
"I love you Kain and all I am doing is protect you from her..." Jessie says.
"Pff!" Kain scoffs. If he needed protection Jessie is the last person on the list to offer it to him. He picks out a fresh t-shirt from his drawer and walks into the bathroom, leaving Jessie to her delusions.
Jessie is determined to trail after Emily until she gathered her facts and evidence correctly. She is convinced Emily is a fraud but she will have to work harder to make Kain believe. She will have to be around Emily at all times to be able to get evidence of her fraudulent activity. Emily might be doing it right now for all she cared. Without waiting for Kain to finish up showering, Jessie struts out of the room.
She is in such a hurry to get to Emily's room she almost barges into Peter. She saw him a second too late and they would have collided with each other but somehow they didn't. Peter is a very strange person. He moves quietly around like a predator, yet faster than any human Jessie has ever seen, and barely smiles.
"Watch where you are going!" In a split second, he places her aside and moves on to where ever he is going never turning back.
Jessie shakes her head at the strange man and moves on to complete her mission. She reaches Emily's room and without knocking pulls the door open. Emily is not on the bed. Jessie searches the entire room, the bathroom, and even the wardrobes and drawers just to be sure but she isn't there.
