Chapter 21

KURT POV
The next day Alexa and me both left the hotel, not without Raphael sending us off with some goodies. We waved them good bye and got in the car with the driver driving off back to our pack.

The drive was quite the silent one, like all the other previous ones. But I felt like this one was supposed to be different with everything we have been through the past one week.

I looked at Alexa and she had somber expression, since last night she has been quiet, almost like she had something to tell me but doesn't want too.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, thinking that she probably didn't hear anything, but she did.

"About what?"

"For the way that I behaved this past week." I realize that she probably deserve the apology I have been a complete asshole towards her and that's wrong.

She move closer to me, her hand reaching up to squish my cheek, turning my face left and right. I did not know what was happening.

"Who are you and what have you done to Kurt?" She asked, and I let out a laughter, while placing her hand to the ground.

"I am serious, tell me where have you kept Kurt Higgins. The proud and pompous Prince of Nightfall pack?"

"Nobody did anything to me Alexa," I said.

"I can't believe that Kurt would apology to me." She then looked at the front of the car.

Alexa was pale, very pale then suddenly me seeing her naked body flashed to my head, her pink nipples being erect, her body with not too much curve but at the same time just the right amount of them.

Her skin most definitely would soft, suddenly I felt my member hardened, and I think she felt it against her hand which just happened to be on my belt buckle at that moment.

She looked at me with a look of horror on her face, and she quickly backed away from me. She closed her leg very tight and her hands where clasped on her lap.

I cleared my throat and muttered a small 'sorry' to her, my head was bow down in embarrassment. But she didn't say anything.

"Kurt, why didn't you tell me that the gem belonged to your mother?"

I raised my head up and looked at her wondering what she was saying.

"Catherine, the Luna of Dark night pack told me that your mom died and gave you this gem as souvenir to remind you of her everywhere you go. But someone stole it from you and you have been searching everywhere for it."

I was completely taken aback by Alexa words, question started popping in my head, 'How did Catherine know that the gem was from my mother?' 'how did she know that someone stole it from me?'

I didn't say anything, I just sat there looking at Alexa my mouth opening and closing like fish that just came out of water that wanted to return back to it.

"Look Kurt it's ok if you don't want to tell me things regarding you. That's ok, and you are probably still angry at me for what I did to you at the Mate Picking Ceremony. But is this how we would continue going in this..." She paused, she was trying to find the right words to use. "In this... Relationship?"

"Why are you suddenly speaking to me about things regarding our supposed 'relationship'?" What did she and Catherine discuss at the ball?"

"You know what forget it, if this is how you things to keep on going, then so be it." She said turning her attention back to the window, signalling the end of the conversation between us.

I lean into the chair, resting my head on it. Then there was another wave of silence, this time one of contempt and most definitely a tiny bit of anger.

We got to the mansion and the maids came and carry our luggages to our separate room.

Alexa walked past me and my hand reach out to grab her hands. "When I get back from my little chat with my father, we are going to resume the conversation that we were having in the car."

She kissed her teeth and yanked her hand from my hold and hastily walking towards the direction of her room.

I stepped outside and head to the office of where my dad usually stay in.

I knocked on the door, and a muffled 'come in' could be heard.

I open it up, and I was greeted with the heavy smell of tobacco. I let out a cough covering my mouth.

My dad stood up from his chair and open up the blinders to let air into the room.

The smoke slowly disappear from the air, I then took my seat in front of my father.

"Welcome home son. I believe that you had a swell time with Raphael?"

I shrugged, "it was ok."

"That's great." My father said, pulling his chair closer to the desk.

"Dad, I am genuinely concerned for your health. With the way you smoke cigarettes like it's nobody's business, I don't think I can handle the death of one more person close to me."

He dismissed the warning with a wave of his hand. "I would be fine, there is no need for you to worry about me. Now I want to hear about how your week was."

I told him about all the details of what happened, even down to me finding mom's gem. Which was something I shouldn't have done, cause the sudden change of his facial expression was enough to make me a bit scared.

"Son, y-you found your mother's gem?"

I nodded my head slowly, he stretched out his hand as a way of telling me to drop the gem on his hand.

I removed the gem from the pocket of my pants and dropped it for him on his palm, he observed the small stone.

It was as if a wave of emotions appeared in his eyes, almost as if relieving the moments that he spent with her.

He then closed his palm, looked at me and said: "I think you should go, I would call you back later."

I stood up from my chair and took my leave. Leaving him to his lonesome.
