Chapter 239 Piper The next morning , I found Rowan in the training area .


    He lifted his head when he saw me approach , and for one tense moment , I thought hed say something .


    Then he turned away , his shoulders stiffening .


    Rowan , I said , firm .


    We need to talk .


    He didnt turn , but he ceased moving .


    Theres nothing to talk about , he said , his tone icy .


    It was as if the space separating us had never been wider and I knew at that moment , Alinas hold upon him was stronger than Id dared to imagine .


    I stood there staring at his back , my stomach getting tighter with each silent second ticking by .


    Rowan , please , I said , softening .


    my tone .


    Im not here to fight .


    I just want to help .


    He finally turned , but his face was guarded , his eyes clouded with something I couldnt ce .


    I dont need your help , Piper , he said .


    What I need is for you to stop interfering .


    The words came out hard , harder than Id bargained for .


    Im not interfering , I said .


    Im trying to figure out whats going on with you .


    Youve changed , Rowan , and everyone sees it .


    He snorted .


    Maybe Im sick of being the guy nobody ever thinks Chapter 239 2/5 I opened my mouth to say anything , but he was already moving away .


    He moved around me , his shoulder colliding with mine as he walked away from the training arena .


    The chill in his voice stuck in the air as I stood there in surprise , saying nothing .


    The thing was , Rowan wasnt just slipping away ; he was actively pulling himself to somece I couldnt reach , which incidentally .


    was the worst part .


    I didnt know how to stop him .


    The rest of the day was kind of a blur after that .


    I tried to pay attention to other things , like training the younger wolves and helping sort out supplies , but my mind kept straying back to Rowan .


    I could rey the words in my head over and over , each one like a recurring reminder that something was seriously off .


    Warrick found me in my room at lunchtime .


    He was leaning against the doorframe , arms across his chest , that knowing glint in his eye .


    Youre overthinking again , he said .


    I let my breath out in a sigh , leaning back on the table .


    How could I not ? Rowans shutting everyone out and Alina … I caught myself , biting my lip .


    Alinas stirring up trouble , Warrick finished for me .


    He pushed off the doorframe and strode toward me .


    You dont have to say it .


    I see it too .


    I met his gaze , grateful for his understanding .


    I just dont know Chapter 239 up his mind .


    Rowan is stubborn … he has always been like that … its not going to be easy to stop him from believing what he wants to believe .


    I sighed as my shoulders slugged , But … I cut off as Warrick lifted my chin and pressed a kiss on my lips .


    3/5 I froze out of surprise and I felt relief wash over me as I melted into his chest .


    He pulled back and wiped my lips with his thumb .


    You are stressing too much ,e with me .


    I gasped , as he pulled me towards the exit .


    Where are we going ? I asked , with my brows crossed .


    You know I have to monitor the trainees .


    Come with me for now … we have thirty minutes before the time for training , and that means we have to start going now if you dont want to bete .


    He took to his heels and I giggled as I raced after him .


    We got to the garden and Warrick halted , I reached him and I crouched over as I held my chest , my heart was racing .


    Warrick had run so fast … I feel so breathless after chasing him .


    Warrick turned to me and smiled , Sorry , I made you run baby … he bent down and took me up in his arms .


    My eyes widened in shock as I looked around to see if someone Chapter 239 I wanted to tell him to drop me down … but I was too tired to walk myself .


    So I will just enjoy this .


    4/5 I ced my head on his chest and he nted a kiss on it .


    Close your eyes .


    Hmm , I sighed and obeyed .


    Warrick walked a few more steps .


    I crossed my brows as I tried to peek .


    No peeking , Piper .


    I pinched my eyes shut immediately .


    I felt him dropping me down , he helped me sit on a mat and I heard him step away and then I heard him seat in front of me .


    Open your eyes , baby .


    my I blinked , eyes opened and I squinted immediately , the ray of the evening sunlight sted on my face .


    Warricks smirking face shifted into my front , blocking the sunlight .


    He licked his lips and ran his hand over his hair , and it waved in the breeze .


    I thought you might be hungry … so I prepared a little lunch , he said and opened his hands as he motioned downward .


    I dropped my gaze and I noticed the food in front of us .


    I swallowed as I saw the varieties of dishes .


    There is fried meat , rice and fresh fruits .


    Chapter 239 I looked up to Warrick with a smile , Baby … I was starving .


    5/5 So , dig in , he said as he opened a basket there and brought out .


    a te .


    He dished out some food for me and handed it to me .


    Thanks , I said as I took it .


    He dished for himself and we started to get together .


    I looked up at him .


    I felt this sense of peace in my heart .


    Is this really Warrick ? He keeps proving time and time again that he has changed .


    The old Warrick would never think to do this , I guess staying with this pack had really made him change .


    I smiled as he looked up and our eyes met , he smiled back at me .


    The nearby bush shuffled and we turned to it immediately .


    I furrowed my brows when I heard footsteps running .


    Who could have been peeking on us ? I turned to Warrick and he shrugged , Probably some jealous folk who was just looking at two lovers .


    I narrowed my gaze at the direction the sound came from , Or a viin who is not happy seeing us this way .
