Chapter 131
I wave to Vanessa and Ryan as they make their way towards the door to leave, Gabriel talking to them in hushed tones. A loud sigh escapes me as I lean back against the couch, my shoulder rubbing against Kaden's. He props his feet on the coffee table which makes me scowl in distaste. I look up at him to see him already staring at me with a mischievous grin on his lips. Pointing to his shoes, I mutter for him to take his feet off my table.
He shakes his head instead, poking me in the side. "Hiss or growl at me to take my feet off."
"I will do no such thing." I scoff, crossing my arms. "Take your shoes off now, Kaden."
"Hmm, nah." He crosses his legs, getting comfortable in his seat.
I try pushing his legs off but it doesn't work. I assume I have tuned out of my abilities. Growing frustrated, I finally growl at him to take them off, using my heightened strength, that has suddenly reappeared, to shove him off the couch.
A loud yell escapes him and he glares at me, standing up from the floor. "Maybe you should have stayed in a coma."
I hear Gabriel snarl at him from across the room as he makes his way back to us. I shoot Kaden a smug smirk when he shuts up and takes a seat again, grumbling under his breath about how he was only joking.
"I need to get some work done in my office, Kaden will take you to the infirmary for a check-up." Gabriel states, making me frown up at him.
I know he must have missed out on a lot of paperwork so I don't complain. Instead, I nod in understanding which makes him smile and press a kiss to the crown of my head.
"Not until she apologizes for pushing me off the couch."
My head snaps to Kaden and I narrow my eyes at him. He doesn't back down, staring at me with a hard look in his eyes. Eventually, I huff and mumble out and apology.
"What was that? I didn't hear you." He smirks and leans forward, a hand cupping his ear in mock fashion.
I throw a cushion at his face and grin when it hits the Kelvin, laughing at his shocked expression. His lips soon turn into a frown before he leaps over the coffee table and starts hitting me with the same cushion I had thrown at him. I scream playfully, bringing my arms up in front of my face to defend himself. He pushes me down until I'm lying across the couch, kicking at his legs to try and get him off me. I don't want to use my newfound ability because I'm afraid of hurting him like earlier. I hear Gabriel sigh and watch him start to walk away, ignoring my pleas for help. He chuckles and waves, reminding us that my appointment is in five minutes.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" I yell, pushing him away.
He backs up with a wide smile, both of us laughing at each other. Pulling me up, he mumbles about how we need to leave now so we're not late. I fix my clothes so they don't look as rumpled before following him out of the house.

We make our way out of the infirmary thirty minutes later and I can't be more excited to leave because it seems like I'm constantly in there. Kaden had waited to escort me back to the house as Gabriel is still sorting through the growing pile of paperwork before he drowns in it completely. I had mind linked him to ask if I could help, but he turned me down and said that he already had Ryan in there with him, ordering me to relax.
Nevertheless, I had thanked Dr Petrova and the nurses who took care of me during my stay and turn towards Kaden, who stands by the reception, waiting for me. Walking over to him with a smile, I loop my arm through his outstretched one and lean my weight against his. I still feel weak after waking up from a coma, which the doctor has described as completely normal.
"Your body is just working on those last bits of recovery, remember to take your medicines daily and you'll be back to normal in no time!" She had advised, before handing me a packet of pills.
Kaden and I walk in silence, but I can feel him glancing at me from time to time with the urge to say something before he will sigh softly and look away. Rolling my eyes when he repeats it the third time, I nudge him slightly, raising my brows in expectation.
"Spit it out, Kaden."
"It's nothing." He shakes his head, black strands of hair tumbling onto his forehead as he does so. I notice he has grown them out, his hair now touches his neck. "Not having your loud mouth blabbering constantly made me realize how much I had grown used to it."
"Aw, Kaden..." I fake sniffle, wiping a tear from my eye mockingly. "That's just about the nicest thing you've ever said to me."
"Shut up, loser." He mumbles, rolling his eyes in amusement.
"You missed me, didn't you?" I tease, ruffling his hair causing him to whine in protest.
"I swear, everywhere I looked it was the same sad expression!" He scoffs, pulling me close to avoid a puddle.
"Well, I am one to be missed." I smirk jokingly as I look up at him.
"Meh."
Smacking his chest, I pull away and walk off, grumbling under my breath. I hear him laugh at my antics before catching up to me and putting his arm around my shoulders. I huff in annoyance when he repeatedly pokes my arm, glaring at him in mock anger. He grins back cheekily, causing me to smile.
Walking up the long driveway, I look up and breathe a sigh of relief, realizing just how much I have missed home. Stepping in through the doorway, I walk further into the foyer, noticing Paloma sitting next to the fire whilst texting away on his phone. Making my way closer, I creep up behind him before letting out a loud "Boo!"
I pout when he doesn't even jump, instead he looks up at me in amusement before patting me on the head. "Nice try. In case you forgot...again, I'm a Lycan with heightened hearing. I could hear you coming up the driveway."
"Ugh!" I cry, throwing myself down on the seat beside him while he chuckles away.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it. You're one of us too now...well, half of you is." He chuckles in amusement, making me roll my eyes playfully.
