AppNovelChapter 0386 - Josie - "I think your Mum might know more about this than she is letting on." Knox's eyes are so piercing that they hold mine longer than usual.
"What do you mean?" I blink deeply breaking that intense gaze of his.
"We need to leave...now." He reaches for my weekend bag placing it on the bed, moving towards the wardrobe and already starts to pick out my clothes.
Weren't we going to at least discuss this, talk this through...like two reasonable adults.
Apparently not! He hastily dumps my clothes in the bag, not even removing the hangers.
"What now? We can't leave...we've just got here." I protest reaching for my bag and removing the clothes. He doesn't stop, he just keeps packing. He's not even listening toas he continues to place my clothes into the holdall before moving on to his own. "Knox..." I sigh out, he needed to stay calm.
"We are leaving now, Alora and Ezra can send anything that we have missed." He picks up both bags and reaches out to grip my wrist as he pullsup onto my feet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI yank my hand away from him...I had items in the bathroom I needed to pack...but that's not the point.
Why did we have to leave right now. Why couldn't we stay and discuss this.
"Knox...you are freaking out.." "I am not freaking out...we need to get you home...and now." He grabs my wrist again and pullstowards him, he marchesout of the door and down the stairs not listening to my words of protest. "Knox, I am not leaving." I growl at him, stepping away from him.
"Oh yes you are." He closes that gap between us with one heavy long stride, his shoulders hunched and his aura heavy.
If he is so hell bent on leaving, he can go...without me.
"What is going on?" Both Auntie Alora and Ezra rush out of the sitting room and into the hallway.
Their eyes look at the bags in Knox's hands before looking between us confused.
Join the club, I'm just as confused. I was also trying to make sense of what had just happened, I don't know why Knox is acting like this.
We just need to sit down and discuss what had just happened...it didn't affect him anyway. It wasthis happened to.
Why was he freaking out more than me.
"We are leaving, say your goodbyes....Lobo, come." He commands, at my own dog, as he pats his upper thigh and walks out the front door with the bags. Lobo following him. "Josie?" Auntie Alora turns todumbfounded. "Have we done something wrong?" "No...I'm...Ezra can you have a word with him. He's just acting out of fear." "Fear?" "Ezra please." Ezra nods before exiting the front door where I can see Knox already starting the car's engine.
"What's happened?" Auntie Alora spins to me, her hands holding onto mine. Worry edged on her face.
I want to tell Auntie Alora, let her know what had just happened but just witnessing Knox's reaction is makingthink again.
What if she reacts just as badly, what if she starts to freak out more than him.
There was no denying that Knox was stronger than Auntie Alora, both in character but also in physical strength. If what has happened has made him react like this, I dread to think how my auntie will take the news. "I'm not sure..." My forehead furrows, I hate lying to her.
We both watch as Ezra tries to talk sense into Knox, the car's engine preventingfrom being able to listen to what they are saying as they cleverly keep their voices low.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth of their heads turn to look at me, before...and to my surprise... Ezra of all people starts agreeing with him. He places his hand on Knox's shoulder and nods in agreement.
His eyes find mine. The arrogance oozing off Knox as he leans his back against the car and crosses his larms, waiting forto join him is causing pure red molten hot anger to course through my veins. "I'm not leaving." I mouth out to him, my feet remaining firmly within the alpha house. "Oh yes you are." He mouths back to me, before he opens the car's back door...Lobo hopping in at Knox's command.
Bastard, he's got my dog now...
"What is going on?" Auntie Alora demands from Ezra as he walks back into the house towards.
"You need to leave Josie.." "But..." "It's for the best. You need to speak to your Mum." Ezra's hand moves to my back and he starts walkingout of the house.
"About what?" Auntie Alora walks alongside me, her mouth slightly open with perplexity.
"Speak to your Mum Josie, and we will be here if you have any questions." Ezra all but ejectsout of the front door. He blocks the door way preventingfrom walking back inside, not unless I was willing to fight him for it. I move, begrudgingly towards the car where Knox jumps into action and opens the front passenger door. "I can take it from here." I growl out in warning to him, he really didn't want to be anywhere nearat the moment.
In fact, I slam the front door shut and open the back passenger door to sit Lobo. I needed as much with I space between Knox and I as possible for the long car journey home.
