Chapter 33- Apologies and Stories

Jenna's POV

As soon as Jonah told me off on the phone, I ran out of the room. What was I expecting; him doing all the apologies after I told him off last night? So I went to Maya's house for a while got some clothes ad left. I drove to a place where I thought I would never be again...my own house. The memories the pictures on the walls displayed were bringing me to tears so I made an attempt to go in my former room. I haven't set foot in this house since...the accident but I couldn't think of anywhere else to go. I sat down on the bed ad wiped the tears away from my eyes but they kept falling. My eyes involuntarily glanced at the picture of all five of us on the night stand. I remember we had gone to the Amusement Park and saw all kinds of stuff. I sobbed and took up the picture, my fingers trembling in the process. I miss you guys so much, I thought as I ran my thumb over the different faces...the familiar faces. Just then, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I wiped my eye ad cleared my throat.

"Hello?"

"Your mind link in blocked," the voice said through the phone. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"What do you want, James?" I asked him. It was his turn to sigh.

"Jonah just came home," he notified me.

"So, he's fine then?"

"Yeah, he is," he said, "and we're back on speaking terms now. Look I really wanted to apologize--"

"James, just forget it, ok. The past is the past, let's just put it all behind us. We're family after all," I cut him and said.

"No, I can't forget it like that Jenna. Why didn't you just tell me that he was your mate?"

"Because...Jonah wanted to tell you himself but I guess he wasn't man enough. I guess he doesn't even like me anyway,"

"Are you blind, little sister? Of course he likes you...probably a little too much for my liking but I guess that just how mates are. I'm sure he would do anything for you,"

"Sure, he would," I sarcastically said.

"No, he would besides I just had a little chat with him and he said---"

"Wait, you guys talked?" I asked and he laughed.

"Jenna, weren't you listening to me? Yeah, we're back on talking basis and yes I gave him the little don't-hurt-my-sister talk,"

"Didn't you do that when you threatened him not to come near me?"

"Hey, I gave that talk to everyone, including Hayden,"

"Oh my gosh, I wouldn't even think about going to Hayden. He's not my type nor am I his," I said. Just the thought of Hayden being with me made me shudder. Not that our Alpha wasn't hot or anything but he had a strict policy (well he made that after he knew none of us were his mate of course) that he wouldn't date any of his pack members.

"Well, let's not forget you use to have a major crush on our Alpha,"

"Everyone had a crush on him, James. He's one of the hottest guys in our territory," I said then I heard some shuffling in the background. I creased my forehead in confusion, "Uh, James where are you?"

"At the pack house, why?"

"Who's in the room with you...like right now?"

"Uh...why do you ask?" James said purposely avoiding the question. Why can he never answer my questions. It's like he's afraid of what I might say. Can't he just man up and have---

Sound like someone you know, my wolf interrupted. I scolded at her.

Shut up will you, I already feel bad, I responded to her.

Well you should feel bad. What the hell were you thinking lying to his beautiful face like that? He looked so devastated when you said that to him, she said.

Can you stop making me feel bad about myself? Look, I know what I did was wrong but no need to rub it in my face, I said as my eyes teared up slightly. I really regret saying that to him.

Can you at least try to make it up to him? I really need him, she said.

I'll try, was all I could say....all I could only hope.

"Jenna did you hear what I just said; are you still there?" I heard James ask bringing me back to this world. What was it that he said?

"What did you say?"

"I said Jonah wanted to talk to you but he wasn't sure if you wanted to see him," he sighed, "look, I really...I have no problem with your guys...relationship but just please be careful with him, alright?"

"James, he's one of your best friends, he won't hurt me...anymore I think," I added mainly for my benefit more than his. I heard movement in the background then some talking. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I tried to figure out what was happening.

"Jen?"

Oh shit...

Jonah's POV

James handed me the phone then he went out the room giving us some privacy. I really wanted to talk to her; I've been wanting to talk to her since I got back. I was little hesitant to talk to her though, with all that we discussed the last time we saw each other. I mean, what if she still says she doesn't want me?

"Jen?" I head a sharp intake of air on the other side of the phone. Had she not expected me to talk to her this soon? I waited for her to answer me but I was welcomed with silence.

"Jen are you there?"

"Uhh...yeah, I'm...I'm here," she said to me. I sighed in content. at least I know she's fine.

"Listen,, can we talk...I mean we should probably...I mean if you want to, that is," I stuttered. Damn, stuttering dude, what the hell is wrong with me?

"Jonah, I...I have a lot going on with right now. I..I'm in a place that is very uncomfortable for talking to you right now so can we have a rain-check?"

"Wait, what...where are you?"

"Let me talk to my brother," she demanded. I groaned but went to give the phone to him none the less. He looked at me weirdly as he put the phone to his ear.

"Jenna, what's wrong?" he asked her. Her reply had his eyes wide and he glanced at me. I gave him a what-the-hell look then he gestured to me up and down so I looked down at my clothes then back at him.

'Get dressed,' he mouthed at me. I looked at him with one eyebrow raised so he mouthed 'now. I'll explain later.' I nodded and went to my room to get some clothes. In the end, I threw on a black ripped jeans with a grey T-shirt. I grabbed my black sneakers then went back to James' room, only to see him getting on a T-shirt.

"What the hell is happening?" I asked and he sighed.

"Since I feel so bad for the stuff that I did, I'm gonna bring you to my sister,"

"Really?" I asked excitement ran through my veins. I can't believe he's going to help me.

"don't get so excited, because if my sister doesn't want you there I WILL drag you out myself," he said making me roll my eyes.

"Just give us a few minutes then---"

"Let's cross that bridge when we get there," he said then we both walked downstairs. We knocked into Lilly and she gave James one hell of a kiss that I don't know if I should've hurled, barfed or gagged.

"As comfortable as it is over here," I said sarcastically. Lilly pulled back ad stuck her tongue out at me and James laughed at her.

"dude, I could always change my mind you know,"

"no you won't, because that would lead to me not talking to you again. Just go and let them be together...please," Lilly begged before I said anything. James rolled his eyes but kissed her pouting lip.

"Fine,, I'll go but just to warn you...the both of you," he hinted at me, "if Jonah hurts my little sister, I'll kick his ass." Both Lilly and I laughed at this and I followed him out the front door.

W arrived at an unfamiliar place. This neighborhood looked so peaceful. The house we stopped at was painted dimly in beige with a white picket fence. There was a small garden in the right-hand corner of the house and a statue in the left-hand corner. The place screamed homey and comfort.

"Uhh...James, where are we?" I asked then turned around but I froze when I saw a few tears coming from his eyes. He didn't even realize I was staring at him; he just looked at the house as if it were bringing back memories.

"Umm...James are you ok?" I asked and once I said that, he immediately came out of whatever trance he was in.

"What did you say?" he asked. I shook y head.

"I asked you where we were," I reminded him.

"Oh...well, we're at..." he sighed, "we're at my old house. Well mine and Jenna's anyways...along with the rest of our family,"

"Oh," I said as he stared longingly at the house, "well, at least we know she's here." He looked at me confused making me roll my eyes.

"I can smell her scent all over the place plus her car is parked not too far from here," I pointed over to her car about four houses from here.

"Well, I guess she didn't want anyone finding out she was here," he stated. Before I could reply he jumped out the car and walked up the path to the front porch. I got out and followed him looking around the place.

The inside was even more beautiful than the outside. The walls were covered with pictures with a young looking Jen and a young looking James. My eyes flickered to the two grown persons behind them with a young baby in the lady's hands.

"Hey James, who's that?" I asked pointing to the picture. His eyes looked over at it then he took a breath.

"That was my parents with my baby sister," he said quietly and I saw a tear run down his face. I looked back to the picture and cocked my head to the side concentrating. James didn't talk about his family much so the group never got to meet them. I wonder what happened. Before I could ask, I heard footsteps coming downstairs.

"Hey, James it took you a while to get here. I was just---" she stopped when she saw me. We held a gaze for a minute then she turned and looked at James, "I said I didn't want to see him yet."

"Well, he was sulking at the house and you never have a reason to come here unless you're really upset or sad," James said. I muttered to myself 'I wasn't sulking' but James glared at me telling me to 'shut up.'

"I said I would've talked to him when I was---"

"Well, you look ready to me," James said.

"Dude, if she doesn't want to talk to me yet, it's fine. I can wait as long as she wants," I made my input.

"Do you want to go back to the pack house?" he challenged. I looked away and sighed. Actually, I wanted to get this situation over with so Jen and I can finally live in peace.

"Fine, but you have to leave James," she agreed finally. Wait...she agreed? I looked up at her shocked but she wouldn't meet my gaze. James looked back and forth from Jenna to me then he sighed and got his car keys.

"Hurt my sister, I hunt you down," James threatened and I rolled his eyes.

"I'm getting tired of the same threats James, I think you need new ones," I joked and it was now his turn to roll his eyes.

"And remember the number one rule about me doing this," he warned and I nodded then he left. As soon as he was out the door, my gaze was on Jen. Her light blue eyes wouldn't even meet my brown eyes.

"Look, I---"

"Jonah,, I'm--" we both started. Our eyes finally met and a smile broke out on her beautiful face, "You go first," she said.

"Beauty before the beast," I joked making her smile grow.

"Jonah, I'm really sorry for what I said to you before. I didn't mean any of it, I was just...really angry and...jealous," she apologized.

"Jealous?" My eyes furrowed in confusion.

"Yeah, jealous. I was jealous of Maya being that close to you and I was afraid that---" she explained but before she could finish, I busted out in laughter. She was jealous of Maya? Maya couldn't even compare to her beauty...she was absolutely amazing. How could she be jealous of Maya? The thought made me double in laughter (almost so hard that I could've fallen to the floor). I laughed so hard tears were falling from my eyes. I heard Jen's laughed so I looked up and she was looking at me crazily.

"what are we laughing at?" she asked. I smiled at her.

"The mere thought of you being jealous of Maya is completely ridiculous," I answered as I walked closer to her.

"Why is it so ridiculous? You were all over her and then after the water gun incident you guys took off happily in love," she spat making me chuckle.

"Jen, Maya knew you were my mate before anyone else did," I said to her, "well, I think Zara had a feeling you were y mate since anytime I saw you and Logan together, I would have glared at you guys."

"She knew?" her eyes showed me how shocked she was. I laughed and I finally reached where she was. An inch apart.

"She knew," I confirmed.

"That bitch, I am so getting here back," she growled, "she actually told me she liked you and that she was going out with you and all that crap," she said then blew out a breath of frustration as she looked away from me, pretending that how close I was wasn't affecting her. My hand went to her chin and brought it up so she could look at me.

"What would you have done if we actually went out?" I asked her.

"I would have beat the crap out of her," she instantly replied making me raise my eyebrow at her. She blushed and attempted to look away from me but I held her chin steadily.

"We can't keep living like this, Jen,"

She sighed, ""I know but...do you even want me? I mean it makes sense that you wouldn't. I mean, if you don't that's fine. We could just go on with our lives and I guess you could be happy and I---" she ranted but I cut her off by firmly placing my lips on hers.

Jenna's POV

I sighed before I replied, "I know but...do you even want me? I mean it makes sense that you wouldn't. I mean, if you don't that's fine. We could just go on with our lives and I guess you could be happy and I---" I ranted (I would often do that when I was really nervous about something) but before I could finish his lips were pressed to mine. I was completely and utterly shocked. Ok, now I'm really nervous...I mean what do I do?

Kiss him, you fool! Gosh, sometimes I wonder...my wolf said. I did just that. My lips moved along with his and I felt shocks of electricity run through my body. His arms went around my waist and he pulled me to his chest. I gasped and he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss and my arms found their way around his neck. More shocks of pleasure ran through my entire body and felt myself wanting him. Needing him. His arms tightened around me as his tongue grazed mine. My lungs cried out for air so I pulled away only to have him kissing my cheek down to my neck.

"Jonah?" my voice a little hoarse from the kiss. He was still trailing kisses down my neck when he mumbled.

"Mmh?"

"Jonah, I'm really sorry for what I said about Logan. I shouldn't...I shouldn't have made you think we had something going on, we...we were never a thing or whatever. I just...well, yeah we were never gonna be a thing and all and you could---"

"Baby, breathe," he whispered in my ear. I instantly calmed down and breathed in and out. How could his voice calm me down so easily?

"Sorry," I mumbled as I rested my head on his shoulder.

"You don't have to apologize for anything you said or did. I understand why you did it," he said making me look at him.

"You do?"

"Uhh...well, no but....it's in the past now," I laughed at him and rolled my eyes. Of course he didn't know why I did it. Anyway, he's right...the past is the past.

"Do you mind if we leave?"

"Yeah, but don't you feel comfortable here. The place just feel so homey. Why'd you move out and come to the pack house?" I sighed.

"Because this house brings back too many memories," I said then walked out of his (comfortable) arms. I heard him sigh so I stopped and turned around. He put on a fake smile but I saw right through it.

"If you need to talk I'm right here," he stated. I smiled gratefully.

"Do you mind if I use the bathroom before we go?" I asked and he nodded and sat down on the couch. I told him I'd be right back then ran upstairs.

I can't believe I'm actually thinking about doing this, I said to myself as I closed the door to my room. I stripped out of my clothes and looked through my old clothes to see if I still any sexy clothes in any of my drawers. Oh come on, there has to be something here. I sighed and though myself down on the bed. Wait, don't I still have that gift Paige gave me for my birthday, right? I immediately shot out of my bed and searched my bottom drawer, to the back right of it.

Yes, it's still here!

I quickly stripped down out of my clothes and put on the orange and yellow bra along with the matching underwear, then I went to find I button up T-shirt. Looks like God Almighty was working for me tonight because I found a white button up T-shirt.

"Ok," I said to myself in the mirror, "the outfit looks alright to me and my hair is...uhh...I think it looks ok," I mumbled to myself tangling two fingers in my hair. Ok, let's do this...oh God, what if I mess up? What if he doesn't like what I do right now? What if he doesn't like me at all? Alright, Jenna just breathe. think about what he just told you. Breathe. Ok, here goes nothing.

"Uhh...Jonah, can you come up here for a minute?!" I shouted. Few seconds later, I heard him run up the stairs then he knocked on my room door.

"Jen, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Uhh..I...you can come in," I stuttered nervously. The door creaked open and I stood up and stood there with my hand at akimbo. His eyes ran up and down my body then met my face. His eyes turned black with lust and passion.

"Jen?" he asked. You could hear the want in his voice. Ok, time to turn it on. I walked over to him (trying to look sexy by the way...from the looks of it, it's working) and wrapped my arms around his neck. He instantly wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Like your present?" I purred in his ear. I heard him gulp.

"My present?"

"Yeah, this is my...'I'm sorry' present," I stated then started kissing him down his neck straight up to his cheek. Let's just say I kissed every in of his face.

His beautiful face, my wolf just had to put in.
