I knew instantly that the person  messaging him was Jessica. The  number wasn't saved, and he had never  messaged back but the context of the  messages was obvious.

She still believed there was a chance  with them.

Begging him to let her back into the  pack so her and her family could return  home. Embarrassing herself by sending  dirty messages. I wasn't angry with him  but again it was something he hadn't  told me.

Imagine that was me?

I quickly put his phone back as I  caught sight of him leaving the store.  How long had she been messaging  him?"Two big tubs of ice-cream and twobottles of flavoured water". He placed  the bag in the back seat before getting  in.

"Okay". I turned my head away fromhim and stared out the window. I  wonder what else he hadn't told me or  was keeping from me.

This was how fights started. Why  couldn't he just be honest instead of  hiding it from me?I would eventually  find out anyway.

The car ride home was quiet. I was  having an argument with myself on  whether I should mention it or keep it to  myself. If I brought it up, then that  would start a whole new argument  beeause I went through his phone.

"Babe you, okay?".

"Yeah, just tired"."Close your eyes baby. I'll wake youwhen we're home".

I closed my eyes. Still his phone went  off, but I said nothing. I was too tired for  an argument tonight.

I woke just as he was pulling into the  driveway. I wasn't in the mood for ice-cream anymore. I just wanted to climb  into bed and go to sleep but we needed  to talk.

I still wasn't angry with him but the  more I left it the more I thought about it.  I was making myself anxious,  overthinking things that hadn't  happened.

"Good little power nap?". He smiled.

"We need to talk".

If I didn't mention it to him now and  left it to brew, then I knew it would onlybe a matter of time before I lost it.

"Yeah, babe we do".

Huh?

I turned my head so I could look at  him.

"You want to talk about Jessica,right?".

"Why is she messaging you?". I asked."So, you looked through my phone".

"It wouldn't stop vibrating when youwere in the store, so I answered it. I saw  the message s she sent you".

"I didn't message her back". Hespoke.

"Why does she think she still has achance with you?".

"I'll tell you everything Leah but oncewe're inside".

I said nothing in response. My  stomach felt unsettled,I felt uneasy  because I had no idea what the truth  was. Was there still a chance for them? I  frowned. I was his mate not her and I  wasn't going anywhere.

"Stop". He sighed as he reached overand took my hand.“You're overthinking  something you know nothing about.  This stems from years ago Leah but I'll  explain it all".

I tried my hardest not to react or say  anything out of turn. So,I chewed the  inside of my cheek and turned my head  away from him.

Maybe finally the whole Jessica  situation would be explained.
