Chapter 143
My body felt numb and cold. All I could think about was how I became the center of the pain and suffering that would be unleashed upon my loved ones How had this happened? Was the curse common knowledge?
The shock had paralyzed me. I couldn’t move or think. Morris was so angry he was shaking and trying to find a way to get a hold of me. Blake was standing in front of me, blocking Morris’s attempts while shaking so hard, little black fur patches had started to appear on his skin. Nate and Dwayne grabbed Morris, holding him back. From the corner of my eye, I watched Sue and Theresa quickly grab Taylor and head for their car.
They knew I was safe with both Max and Rocky shielding me from the screaming match happening between the men. The next thing I knew, warm hands grabbed me, and I was in the back of Rocky’s SUV with Max tight next to me, holding my hand.
All I wanted today was to bury my parents in peace. To be able to say goodbye to them without any drama. Why couldn’t I have a normal day without any involvement in werewolf drama?! Did I make a bad choice when I decided to stay with Blake and be part of his life? If I had walked away, maybe I wouldn’t have been exposed to all these things.
The ache in the pit of my stomach was making me nauseous and dizzy. My stomach churned even more from the speed Rocky was driving.
Max’s warm hand tighten around mine while he looked outside, trying to make sure we weren’t getting followed by any extra people Morris brought with him.
I felt the bile rise, and my throat got tight.
“Rocky..” I whispered.
“Yeah, Rosy. I’m here. You’re safe, don’t w
orry” he glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
“Pull over..” I covered my mouth, trying to hold it in.
“What?!” Rocky looked over his shoulder while trying to drive straight.
“Dude, she’s going to throw up. Pullover” Max’s voice was filled with panic.
The car slowed down, and I leaped out as soon I felt it stop.
I bend over and let the contents of my stomach pour out. My stomach squeezed itself, pushing out everything in it. At the same time, I felt the earth move. My body swayed as I held my hair back and tried to stand straight. My knees gave way, and I sunk to the ground, landing on my butt.
Suddenly there was an arm wrapped around my waist, and all the loose hair around my face disappeared.
“Rocky, you got any water?” Max yelled over his shoulder. He was kneeling next to me, holding me and my hair.
“Yeah,” Rocky’s voice came from a distance.
I heard the car door close and heavy footsteps crunch across the grass.
“Give her to me. You’re meant to be staying away” Rocky didn’t sound very impressed.
“Right now isn’t the time to be worrying about my intentions. We all want the same thing, and that’s to keep Rosy alive. We’re on the same team, dude. Chill.” I cringed at how loud Max’s voice was.
“Can you two please stop? Rocky…” I put my hand out for the bottle of water he had in his hands.
He handed it to me and loosened his tie. Concern clearly reflecting off his face.
“Shit! I always hated that old fucker!” He growled.
I gulped down the water, letting it soothe my throat.
“You’ve met him before?” I looked up at Rocky, wiping my mouth.

Chapter 143
“Yeah. We use to live in the packhouse with him. He and Richard had a big fight, and we moved out. If was the fast I saw or heard of how Poly run N hands through his hair and huffed.
“I’m sure there’s a logical explanation to all this. I’ve never heard of this curse. If it’s such a big deal, there would have been some chatter about it among their pack mages.” Max gently rubbed my back.
His touch felt so wrong yet so right. It was calming me down and making me feel better but also reminding me what he truly wanted.
“You think that old fucker is lying?” Rocky asked.
“I will have to do some investigating. Let’s not jump to conclusions yet. Whatever it is, there will be a way to fix it. I will find a way.”
Max looked at me with eyes filled with sincerity and concern. I couldn’t help but stare back at him. He really did care about me.

She’s kind of bratty, isn’t she?

145 chapters in and still loving Rosy and Blake. If it gets turned into a three–way sex book I’m gonna be so angry. A little rivalry is fine.
