CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Several days had passed in the Clementine compound and I found myself, believe it or not, actually getting comfortable there. Sure, I still had some sour glares from the werewolves who had yet to trust me and saw me as nothing more than human trash, but I at least had gotten used to it. It was pretty much like being in high school.

Still, my biggest issue was Paul. I felt like I had to be on my best behavior at all times when he was around. We had run into each other a few times over the course of the week, each of us always accompanied by another person, so we were never forced to make small talk. It was also my mission to ensure I was never alone with him ever again.

The conversation we had outside of the pub played in my mind in a loop, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the image of his smug smile out of my head. If I had an ounce of courage inside of me, I would have knocked him on his ass for comparing me to an insect that needed to be squashed. How dare he?

I had to remind myself that I held back because I was trying to be on my best behavior, and not because I was a horrible coward. As frustrated as I was to know he got the better of me, I was at least comforted by Max’s constant presence. Whenever I felt on edge, he was there by my side making me feel protected. He had no idea about my fight with Paul because I didn’t want to rock the boat in any way, and I knew Max would confront him had I mentioned it. In Max’s eyes, my reservations about Paul stemmed from him bringing me to Aga and nothing more.

When morning broke, I slipped on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, ran a comb through my hair, and then made my way downstairs, immediately taken back at the small crowd growing in the entrance hall. It was a group of maybe ten men standing near the entrance doors, each with a backpack on and a thermos in hand. It looked like they were going camping. I was surprised to see that Max was one of them.

It was like he could sense me, because as I stood at the top of the staircase his eyes met mine and he disbanded from the group and walked toward me.

“Going somewhere?” I asked. I thought for sure if Max were leaving he’d have told me ahead of time, and judging by the backpack he threw to the ground when he approached me, it looked like it was more than a trip to the store.

He looked at the group he left and then back to me, guilt prominent on his face. “It’s not overnight, but it is all day and that’s why we’re taking so much shit.”

“Where are you going?”

“Out to an abandoned campground.
