The Face They Couldn’t Let Go Novel - Chapter 105

105 - Let's Stay Close , Sister Yuvonne : Seeing my sister with such a handsome man really surprised me . I watched her from the window of my room . I had been sitting there , keeping an eye on her , and when I saw her return with such a dashing man , I almost lost my breath . I knew her husband was here , I'd heard about it . But seeing him in person , from so close , stunned me . Still , he wasn't as good - looking as Baxter . I'd scored a better one . But Sawyer was a good catch , someone who looked good , who was probably good in bed too .

When I tried to introduce myself and apologize to my sister , she shocked me by shutting me out . I was so disappointed . I expected her to forgive me right away . It's not like she had any other family . But ever since she'd returned , she'd become this strange version of herself , always trying to prove she was better than everyone else . First of all , how the heck did she become so popular ? Second , her attitude sucked . And third , how the hell did she manage to land a husband like Sawyer ? Even though she wouldn't let me introduce myself , I followed her anyway .

When I reached the porch and placed a hand on the door , I overheard her and her husband talking inside . Their conversation stopped me from barging in . Her husband's voice carried a strange , angry tone when he asked if I had hurt her . I wasn't scared , I knew I was safe with Baxter on my side . There was no way she could get me punished , and no way he could hurt me . But something about the way he asked who had hurt her , it had power in it . Then I reminded myself that he might be powerful in the human world , maybe even rich too , but in the werewolf world , he was nothing .

Baxter was an alpha . Not just any alpha , the most powerful one I'd ever seen . So I stepped back , thinking I could use Baxter as my shield . I turned around and walked straight back into the mansion , where I saw Baxter walking downstairs to the first floor . The others weren't around , probably in their own rooms . " Baxter ! " I called , opening my arms wide . I hadn't seen him all day because I'd stayed up watching movies all night and only woke up about an hour ago .
