Chapter 97

Chapter 97 

Paxton’s POV 

The guards had told me that Lisa was there and raising hell. She got by them, and I will be having a discussion with them later about it. How in the hell did she even find out that they were here? I made sure that the warriors that Lisa liked to mess around with were not assigned to this detail for this very reason. Can they not do anything right? I was fuming by the time we arrived at the cells. The guards knew they were in trouble and had already tried to figure out who the leak was. 

I arrived quietly, stayed just out of sight, and listened to their conversation. They were much smarter than she was, but they finally managed to convince her. Lisa had always been jealous of Cara. She had always blamed Cara for my having feelings for her. It was like Lisa was scared to admit that I was the one who wanted Cara, not vice versa. I believe that if she ever admitted it, she would have to accept it. That was something that she was not going to 

I felt the tears on my t-shirt as Lisa almost ran into me. I knew that she cared for me much more than I ever cared for her. She was always worried about Brenna, Luna, or Cara taking her title away from her. I even agreed to give her the position if she would leave Cara alone. I thought I was protecting her from Lisa; instead, it made her hate her even more. 

Cara never had any part of it, yet Lisa was always after Cara. I thought after she became the Luna, that she would ease up. But she seemed to double down. Deliberately hurting Cara and giving her the very worst jobs in the pack for her to do. War was coming, but they would never be leaving here. I don’t care if the Council demands their release or not. They are here now, and I will die before I willingly give Cara up. I hadn’t realized how much I had truly missed her until she left. Having her back makes me feel whole again. I won’t allow her to leave again. 

“Why are you still here, Lisa? They do not concern you at all. If you are wise, you will forget they are here,” I told her. She was still standing there crying, but when Cara saw me, she walked back over to the sisters against the far wall.
