Helanie:
"So, you are telling me that you will ruin my relationship with my mate—" Before Lucy could start her yapping, Lamar silenced her with his scoff.
"Ex-mates," he reminded her.
"Ohhh, but it never says anywhere that an ex-mate cannot become a mate again," she shrugged, but the tears in her eyes told me she was probably genuinely thinking she was a victim in this situation as well.
But she wasn’t. What she was asking for was diabolical. This wouldn’t help her move on, and if they kept doing this, Gavin would lose his second-chance mate too. Salem had changed a lot, at least towards us. I hadn’t seen her interact with the others, but I could tell she had been trying to become a better version of herself for Gavin, and since Gavin confided in me that he wanted her too, it was really unfair what was going on here.
"Stop playing these games, Lucy," I advised her, feeling so distant from her that I couldn’t even reach her heart anymore.
"I am not the one playing games with you guys. And if you really hate games, ask Jenny why she didn’t tell you she was the one who saw me first after my fall." Her sudden implication made me frown, and Lamar shook his head at her.
"Nah! You’re not doing that. Jenny has been through a lot lately, and I won’t let you put some crazy accusation on her." I agreed with Lamar, and Lucy just shrugged.
"Well, I am not going to answer you two, but if Gavin pulls away from me, I will blame you two. Especially you." She pointed her finger at me, causing me to narrow my eyes at her.
"You still have expectations from me?" I asked in a shocked tone.
"No! I don’t have any expectations from you. I know you would never do anything for anyone else. But who are you to tell me to stop playing games when you’re entertaining two guys at the same time and starting this rivalry between seniors and juniors?" The way she referred to my friendship with both Rudy and Penn was just outright outrageous.
She knew I hadn’t even responded to their flirting properly, so her claim hit me hard.
"Bitch—" As I attempted to rush at her, Lamar held me back.
"What happened? Truth sucks? I know it does." She giggled, getting up and walking away to the bathroom.
"I am going to slap the arrogance out of her," I turned to Lamar and hissed under my breath while he gave me a nod.
"Yeah, we both will, but please calm down," he said softly with a smile, trying to calm me down.
"I will be in the bathroom on the first floor," I sighed and didn’t even wait for him to ask me to wait before I sped out.
I wanted to be alone, so the bathroom was just an excuse.
After reaching the first floor, I decided to sneak out of the hostel. I was tired of being stuck within these walls and needed some alone time.
Once I was on the trail, hugging myself and staring at the sky, I noticed the moon and realized what night it was.
And then I remembered how he used to sneak out on full moons, which made me believe he was going out to transition, but it turns out he wasn’t a Lycan. freёwebnovel.com
