Chapter 105: 105-Lying To A Friend.

Helanie:

"If I had a wolf right now, I would be talking to her instead of myself," I groaned under my breath. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"I just wish I had you with me," I sighed sadly.

I had been staring at the bracelet until Lucy arrived, and I had to quickly roll down my sweater’s sleeves.

"What’s going on? How was the walk?" I asked Lucy, who looked a little lost. It was almost like she was guilt-ridden.

"Helanie! What do I do now?" She sat down on the bed, her eyes full of tears.

"What happened? Did Gavin say something?" I was worried for the two of them. After she had cheated on him, she expected Gavin to bring up the pain of the mate bond shaking, but when he didn’t, she was confused as to why.

But tonight, I guess she was finally realizing she jumped to conclusions when she should have given him a chance to explain himself.

"He talked about it," she said, and I already knew what she meant.

"Oh! And what did you say?" I mumbled, my heart skipping several beats.

"He said he felt the most pain that night—so much so that he couldn’t even take a step forward. He felt an urge to transition too, but couldn’t because of the extreme pain." She held my hand, speaking softly as if she were scared the walls would hear her.

"Helanie! That is not how I felt. So does that mean I was wrong?" Her lips turned dry, so she had to lick them to moisten them before responding.

"I don’t know. What did you say to him?" I questioned, and she started shaking her head.

"I told him I was with you that night, so he might ask you—" My eyes widened when she pulled me into this mess.

"Lucy—" Before I could complain, she held my arms and shook me a little.

"You have to save me. I don’t want him to find out. He’ll leave me, Helanie. I’ve seen him grow distant after that night. Even when he was trying not to question me, I could see the coldness in his eyes," she sniffled as she rambled.

"As much as I want to be on your side, you need to understand that he is my friend too. And even if he wasn’t my friend, I would still suggest being honest with him," I uttered softly.

Although I had not been in an intense relationship like the two had, I was once dating someone. I remember how he used to go missing for days and I would hear the gossip about him being with other girls, but he would always get so defensive whenever I asked him any questions. Then a time came that I lost my mind and started to trust him entirely. It was mainly because he was good at spinning blames and narratives. And then his sweetest words would sway me away.

I was a girl who grew up in a household where no one loved me. Whenever my little sister tried to come sit with me, she would be snatched away by my stepmother. So when Altan showed me love, I took it seriously and vowed to never lose it.
