Chapter 19: Chapter 19
At Rafer's words, I felt myself boiling with anger as I tried to control my wolf. It must be because of the wolf that I was getting angry so fast. And the fact that I didn't have much control over it made it worse. I looked over to Jake to see that he was also angry as his jaw clenched and his eyes turned to black. But he appeared calmer than me. He must have more control over his wolf than me.
"Calm down, Rafer." Jake told him.
"Those stinking dogs are us." I muttered, and Rafer looked more confused and angry.
"What do you mean, Max?" He asked, looking at me then turned to Jake, "And don't tell me to calm down. The two of you are the ones that need to calm down. You got angry just by the mention of some stupid mutts."
I took a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm myself and tune out the vile words Rafer was using. Jake's jaw clenched as his hands turned into fists. He maintain his calmness as his jaw remained clenched. "What she means is that since Kane bit us, we also turned into werewolves and accidentally bit the others."
"Great, just great." Rafer muttered sarcastically. "I can't take this anymore! I knew this would happen! I told Aiden that you will turn into werewolves too, but did he listen? No. He thinks that he's a know it all."
"So what, Rafer? You don't want us in your gang anymore?" Jake asked, glaring at Rafer as he looked at us with disgust.
"Yes! I am tired you two, especially you, Jake! You think that you are the boss around here?! You are not! I am kicking you all out since you were arrogant enough to change them into werewolves too!"
"Wow! I knew that you hate me, but I never knew that you hate me this much. I am happy that I found out now." Jake said while I continued trying to keep my wolf under control. But it was hard when some lunatic was provoking you.
"Good for you, Jake! But you know what's not good for you? Leaving this gang. We can't have freaks like you two staying here." Rafer spat at us.
I felt so angry that I growled like a wild animal. It vibrated from my throat and I snared at Rafer. "I will show you who the real freak is!"
I was about to launch myself at Rafer, no Jake's hand landed on my own. I turned to him and he looked surprised as he looked at my eyes. "Keep it together, baby doll. Your eyes are turning black."
"Yours are already black." I replied, still breathing heavily from my anger.
We heard Rafer mutter something under his breath and we both turned to him. "See! This is exactly what I want to avoid. You can't even control yourself, even the other gang members will agree with me. You have to leave this gang!"
Rafer knew that we have just turned into werewolves without any guidance from other werewolves. How could he expect us to be control ourselves, especially when he is throwing insults our way? I thought that we were doing very well since we didn't kill anyone or eat them.
"Aiden will never allow it!" Jake gritted out.
"Are you sure about that? If he doesn't agree then he can leave with you guys for all I care. I am putting the gang first instead being selfish like you!"
"How dare you! Jake has done more for this gang than you!" I growled out as fangs extended from my mouth and my nails grew longer, biting into my flesh as I left my hands onto fists.
Rafer glared at me, looking angry and scared at the same time. He swiftly turned around and sprinted out of the room. It looked like he was afraid that I would also bite him or kill him. I will probably do the latter. I was going to run after him when Jake stepped in front of me. That blocked my view of the opened door.
I looked at Jake as my brows furrowed in confusion as to why he was stopping me. He took hold of each of my fists in his hands as he looked into my eyes. His eyes were back to normal as he said gently, "Calm down, baby doll."
I looked back into his eyes as I left my nails grow shorter. Jake let them go and wrapped his arms around me, "Calm down."
I took in a deep breath and let it go. My fangs went back to their normal size as my breathing also calmed down. I heard Jake murmur as he hugged me tighter, "We both need to learn how to control our wolves as soon as we can."
"I know, and we will. Don't worry about what he said. Everyone loves you in this gang and look up to you while everyone dislike him become of his bad personality." I said to Jake to comfort him while he was comforting me.
Jake chuckled as he moved his head to my hair and I felt him breath in. "I know all that, baby doll. I am not worried because I know that he is just jealous of me."
"That's what I thought too." I said as he leaned back from me, but still had his arms around me. Our faces were inches apart as he stared into my eyes, and I stared back into his. He looked like he didn't want to let me go, but he did. He stepped back, moving his arms to his sides.
"What Rafer said about kicking us out has also made me think. I think that we can't stay here. It will be a danger to be with them when we are werewolves and they are humans." He turned back to face me as he said the last part.
"So you want us to leave the gang?"
