Chapter 156

• A look of disapproval flickers across Jessica's face as she and her friend walk towards us, before she quickly replaces it with one of fake enthusiasm. Immediately, I'm on edge. Her sickeningly sweet perfume enters my nostrils as she comes closer and I have to tighten every single muscle to keep my wolf at bay as she tries to break free and attack.
• "You're back!" Jessica exclaims happily and moves quickly as though she's about to launch herself at my mate, completely disregarding my presence.
• My wolf is chomping at the bit, simmering just below the surface of my control. If she touches Edward, I know I'll lose it. Luckily, Jake reacts at lightning speed and grabs a hold of her before she can make her move, tugging her against his body.
