Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Cane POV

I sit in the visiting hall waiting for Jessie, but she never comes. Instead, one of the nurses comes in to tell me that my fucking bitch ass sister has banned my sister from the property. I am fed up with Chloe and her bullshit. She is such a drama queen. She is a Jan Brady, if there ever was one. Me Me Me! That is all I hear from her. Now it is time to make her pay. Jessie may not be able to come to see me, but I know someone who can help me make Chloe pay for doing this.

I go back to the sleeping quarters. I have a class in thirty minutes. I grab the phone off the wall and put in my calling card number to make the call. I knew memorizing his number would come in handy some day. I dial the number and wait.

"Hello," Jackson Talen, Chloe's ex boyfriend, says as he answers the phone. I bet he is not expecting to hear from me.

"Hello Jackson, it is Cane, Chloe's brother," I say calmly.

There is a pause. "Look, man, I do not know what that bitch told you, but I never touched her," Jackson says.

I snicker. I know he touched her, but I know she probably deserved it. "Look, Jackson, and I thought the two of you might could talk and work things out. She is staying at the apartments across from the Arden Firm. She works at the Arden Firm, and she really wants to see you. I will have my girlfriend call you so the two of you can meet up and go see Chloe," I say.

"Okay, I can be in Shadow Creek tomorrow. Where should I get a hotel? What is close to her apartment?" Jackson asks.

"No, you can stay at my place. Jessie will send you the address. I am in rehab again, so I am not there. Enjoy the place and relax. I hope you and Chloe work shit out," I say.

I hang up the phone and call Jessie quickly. I am running out of time before my next class, learning to deal with my emotions, and not turning to drugs. This rehab is such bullshit. I know I cannot stay clean. Even Axel knows it. I think he just wanted me out of the way so he could marry my sister without my objections. Just wait until she finds out what a piece of shit he really is; she is in for a shocker.

Jessie picks up the phone, and I go over my plan with her as fast as possible. She is on the same page as me and is pissed that she was not able to see me. I love Jessie. Yes, we stole from Axel, and we would have gotten away with it if my damn sister would not have found it. Even though she says it was not her that found it, I know it was her. She is not a very good liar.

I hang up the phone and start walking toward class. I can feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. I have no idea why I am here. Yes, I do. It was to keep from going to jail. Axel will let me keep my job and not press charges against Jessie or me if I get cleaned up. I can find more drugs in here than at home. I can do thirty days of this, and then I am back with Jessie.

When I leave the classroom, one of the nurses stops me. "Mr. Walker, you have an urgent visitor," She says

Maybe they changed their mind and let Jessie come back to see me. I could only hope. "Thank you," I say.

I walk back to the visiting hall, and as soon as I walk into the visiting hall, there sits Axel. That smug son of a bitch is sitting there pissed off and waiting for me. He brought security with him. Whatever he has to say, I am not going to like it at all.

"Why are you here, Axel?" I ask him.

Axel leans over the table. He takes a deep breath, and I wait, anticipating the worst news I have ever gotten in my life. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Chloe is your sister. You know the sister you swore to care so much about and were so worried about, and now look at you. You upset her, scream at her, call her a cunt and then have your girlfriend attack her," Axel says, mad as hell.

"Jessie did not attack her. She called her a bitch, which Chloe is a bitch," I respond.

Axel grabs me from across the table. No one does anything. He punches me in the face so hard my eyes begin to water as my nose stings from the blow. Axel comes around the table, never letting go of me. "I should kill you!" Axel screams at me.

"Go ahead, just wait until Chloe finds out it was your pack that killed our parents. Do you think she will love you then?" I ask him.

Axel drops me to the ground and kicks me in the ribs. His security grabs me and picks me up. Several nurses come into the room. "I want him detoxed, like before. I want him sedated, no visitors, no classes, and I want him all alone. No phone calls, nothing. Keep him isolated until I say he can come out of his little rat hole," Axel says to the nurses.

"Yes, Alpha," the nurses say as they drag me out of the room.

"You cannot hide me forever, Axel. I will tell her everything about you, and she will hate you. She will have no one, just pain, and it will be all your fault," I say, laughing as they pull me out of the visiting hall.

The nurses take me to a room in the back of the building. Axel did lock me up for thirsty days with no visitors to clean up when I was here before. I was knocked out and cleaned up, but that time, he did it because he cared. I have a feeling I will never leave this place. I am a prisoner.
