Jessica's POV

I gulp and look down at my hands. I twiddle my thumbs together, a habit I had when I was nervous, and breathe in heavily. Zander has yet to say anything yet and I was worried about what he was going to do to me.

"Jessica." His husky voice snaps and I jump slightly. His tone was hard and cold and I knew I had pissed him right off.

"Did I or did I not say you were not allowed to go out with Cole?" I heard Zander turn to face me and I could feel his hard glare on the side of my face. His aura was dark and dominating and made me feel like crying while begging him for forgiveness. I was practically shitting myself next to him.

"I...um...we..." I stutter and I could basically hear Zander grind his molars together. "Don't make me angrier than I already am. Now answer the fucking question." Zander snarls and I wince while slowly moving away from him.

"Yo-you did." My bottom lip trembled as my hands shook violently. If I knew this would happen, I would've not have gone with Cole. It was so not worth Zander's wrath.

"So why the fuck did you go against my word?!" Zander suddenly roared and a whimper falls from my lips. I had barely had anyone use this tone with me, I wasn't used to it at all. I turned to Zander and saw the fury etched on his face. His hands were clenched into tight fists and his jaw was twitching. I was frightened right now. I had no idea what he was going to do.

"I-I don't know..." I whisper while looking at my hands again. I hear a clash on the floor so I look up to see the small vase that was laying on the bedside table on the floor in a million pieces.

Poor vase.

"Jessica, you have no idea how angry I am at you. All I wanted was for you to stay here in the pack house. Why did you have to disobey me and leave? And with another man nonetheless. You also thought I wouldn't find out?" Zander hisses and lets out a harsh humourless laugh.

"I know! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have listened to Cole in the first place. He- he just persuaded me..." I tried to apologise but he wasn't hearing none of it.

"Doesn't matter if he offered you a million pounds, if I said no, then don't disobey me." Zander bites out and I feel a tear fall down my face. I had no idea why I was crying but maybe it was because he was so intimidating.

I straightened up as the way he was speaking to me was not justifiable. Yes, I left the pack house but why is it such a big deal for?

"Why the fuck do you care anyways? I heard that everyone else can leave when they want so why can't I?" I snap back at Zander, levelling my eyes with his showing I was challenging him.

Zander seemed taken aback by my outburst as his eyes widen in shock before hardening again. "You disobeyed me yet you're asking for me to explain to you why I've set certain rules? You do not get to question me when you're in trouble." Zander growls at me, his tone hard.

"Well I just did. I can do what I want." I decide to push him as I was not a fucking doorstep mat to walk all over.

"No you can't. I decide what goes on here."

"What is wrong with you? What is wrong with me? Why can't I leave when I want to?"

"Because I said so." I grit my teeth at his half assed reply. "You do what I say."
