Page 20 of Light in Your Eyes
Jaxon must have informed him about me, so he should be expecting me, shouldn't he?
But then, Kellan looks taken aback. It's not a good sight, especially since I notice the irritated look on his expression. I hear some people trying to muffle their laughter while the others scoff.
My brows furrow in confusion as I wait for Kellan's response. He closes his eyes and shakes his head in disbelief. When those gray eyes return to me, I see the same fury that greeted me a while ago.
"Do you think that I need a fucking caregiver?" he bites out, causing my heart to sink. "Do you actually think that I do?"
No one makes any sound, anticipating what he'll say next. I don't even know if the fight inside the boxing ring is still happening—it probably isn't—because the silence that follows after he speaks is excruciating.
"Get lost." With that said unbearably coldly, Kellan turns around and leaves.
Chapter 6
Kellan
Fucking ridiculous.
I never thought that such a liar existed among Black Wings members. How the hell did Fenrir recruit the newcomers?
I storm into my room with my fists clenched tightly at my sides. My chest rises and falls because of my anger.
The fight inside the boxing ring earlier might have calmed me down, but that girl just made me even angrier. She even mentioned Jaxon, and that story she made up was insane.
There's no way that Jaxon would hire a caregiver for me.
Layla, her name. Who does she think she is?
Fucking poser.
The sound of my phone ringing on my bed catches my attention, and I instantly scoff because I know who the caller is from the ringtone.
About time Jaxon is calling me. I rarely answer his calls, but maybe I should now.
I grab my phone, feeling that I might break it because of how hard I'm gripping it. This is fucking irritating.
The second I answer Jaxon's call, his voice echoes in my ear. "Finally." He lets out a long sigh. "About damn time you pick up my call."
I listen closely for any other sounds from the other side of the line. No gunshot sound. I feel slightly relieved because no matter how much I hate what Jaxon is doing over there in Italy with the guys, he's not in danger right now.
I hear a light chuckle. "Wait. Have you already met her?" Amusement is now laced in his voice.
I clench my jaw, feeling like I'm going to explode. If it's actually true about the girl, I'll be fucking mad at him.
"No wonder you picked up my call." Although his tone is joking, I can feel his disappointment. "I had to drag some girl into this for you to pick up your brother's call, huh?" he throws me a rhetorical question, which annoys me even more.
"I'll hang up—"
"Wait," Jaxon immediately says, and I hear slight anger in his voice. "Jesus Christ. Kellan, calm the fuck down."
"You know damn well why I never want to pick up your call," I say coldly. "If you want to hear my voice that badly, you can drag your ass back here."
Jaxon lets out a heavy sigh. "Quit being a brat. You know perfectly well why I have to be in Italy and why you can't be here."
I scoff. "Yeah? Because I'm fucking blind—"
"Kellan," Jaxon says to me in a warning tone. "You know why you can't be in Italy, and we're not doing thisanymore."
I almost roll my eyes.
