One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 42

Hailey's POV

Cayden takes a final bite of his sandwich before getting to his feet and stands up to walk away but Jaxon holds out his hand to stop him. Cayden looks at Jaxon's hand and then looks up at him, eyeing him up before opening his mouth.

"I don't need to be here." He says and walks past Jaxon but I block his way out... My eyes pleaded with him to stay. I need all the support I can get.

With Azuri and Jaxon in the same room, there is bound to be a little drama and I need someone that will take my side no matter my reasoning.

"Please stay." I softly say to Cayden and he relents, turning around and walking back to sit on the couch he was just sitting on. Jaxon chuckles at this and sits opposite Cayden, he chose to be sitting right next to his ex.

"Well?" I ask looking at Jaxon.

"Are you going to sit?" He asks me and I move to sit down, next to Cayden. I look at Jaxon as I sit down and I notice a little annoyance on his face but it doesn't last long. A triumphant feeling warms my insides at that brief show of jealousy. Just as his sitting next to Azuri annoys me, I know now that my closeness to Cayden bothers him too.

"You both say I have nothing to worry about but then..." Jaxon's hand gestures at how close Cayden and I were sitting and Cayden smirks.

"I don't recall ever saying you have nothing to worry about. In fact, I don't recall ever inserting myself in the middle, either to ease your worries or comfort you." Cayden says and I smile.

"So, what you're saying is that I do need to worry?" Jaxon asks and Cayden just shrugs, sitting back on the couch and getting comfortable. He opens his legs wider, that action causes his leg to touch mine and he leaves it there. I feel a faint lightning jolt from this innocent touch but I try to keep a straight face, to avoid any drama... In silence, my whole body was humming to that spark, excitement running through me like a little girl with a school girl crush.

"Jaxon, you did not bring us all here to point out that me sitting next to Cayden bothers you when you unconsciously sat next to your ex in my home." I point out and that makes Azuri smile for some reason and it angers me, killing all that giddiness that was inside me from Cayden's touch.
