One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 37

Hailey's POV

"You want me to be honest?" Cayden asks me.

"Please.' I answer him and he smiles at me, my knees just about ready to buckle and send me to the ground, no thanks to those pearly whites.

"I think you are the most beautiful woman to ever walk this earth and that dimwit is lucky to have you, if only he could start acting like a real one." Cayden says to me. His compliment does not surprise me, it is the amount of anger filled in his words when he talks about Jaxon. Truth be told, I wholeheartedly agree with Cayden on Jaxon being a world class A hole but the conviction in his words? Wow.

I did not expect that from him and I like that he is upset about Jaxon's treatment of me.

"Thank you." I speak.

"No, I mean it, Hailey. You deserve so much better and considering the shit you were born into, the truth being kept from you and that shit bag expecting you to be able to hold your own against a Shera, who might I add, was trained to be a warrior when you are as newly born as a baby wolf? He insulted you." Cayden says to me.

The pain that came with Jaxon's words returns tenfold and I feel my body drain of whatever energy that was left. Cayden catches me, not noticing that my body was playing its dramatic play again, trying to faint from extreme hurt or possible heartbreak since I have not heard from Jaxon since leaving his pack.

Cayden carries me in to the house and I enjoy being in the arms of a strong man for a little bit, even if they are not the arms of the man I have fallen in love with, Cayden is doing a good job at somehow comforting me.

I find myself drawn to him and his scent, it warms my soul just being in his presence and when he speaks, the whole world shuts down for a second and I get to listen to him speak.

"Are you crushing on Cayden?" My wolf asks me and I feel my cheeks heat before I open my eyes to realize I am in bed and my alarm has not even gone off yet. Once again, the person my subconscious decides to dream about is Cayden. I feel the judgement coming from my wolf who is against all these warm and fuzzy feelings we feel for Cayden.

"Oh relax! Not like I am going to act on those feelings." I say out loud but my wolf just grunts and disappears to the back of my mind. I decide to get out of bed and get ready, beating my dad and Cayden to the training fields today.
