MY heart raced at their topic. I was their topic, and Raine even participated in it. A backhanded comment, I must say, she still manage to mention how I was blinded with jealousy. I grit my teeth, turning my head away to ignore their chatters. There was no good in trying to let my emotions get the best of me. I had my fair share of attempts in slitting her throat and every one of then ended in me either punished or ignored, meanwhile her — a sobbing, annoying mess which everyone attends to.I can’t let myself get involve this ti—“You guys . . . You shouldn’t call her that way . . . even if she is.” I stop desd in my tracks, slowly turnung over to what they were saying?She agreed?I clench and unclenched my fist, trying my best to calm myself. The door was right in front of me and the pack warriors guarding the door was off to their shift in roaming the barrier for any intruders, which was why I was the only one here.One step inside the pack house and I will no longer suffer to hea

“Why is he here?” I gritted the words from my teeth to Elliot to avoid getting caught murmuring. He shakes his head in confusion before mumbling a small, “I don’t know either.” The fight earlier ended in blaring hot seats, I don’t think I’m particularly ready to see him or hear his voice once more right now.He’s already just behind Elliot when he asked his question once more. His eyes even gazed down my body and seeing how I just came out of the bathroom gave the picture an eveen more suspicious look.“I said what are you two doing?” I bite the insides of my cheeks before rolling my eyes at him. I breathe deeply from the pits of my stomach where the remains of patience I have left lies, and to try awaken it so I won’t be pouncing towards Calvin in my wolf form from the anger I’m currently feeling.“Not any of your concerns, in all honesty.” I sarcastically retorted, smiling widely at him. His face turnes red from frustration and he was just about to reach over to Elliot’s shoulders

I dropped down the marble floors, yet still kept the Macarons clean as much as my breaking self could. My tears were endless as it cascaded down my cheeks. Only sobs were heard from the hallway where the Alpha and the Luna’s room was.I don’t know why I’m even crying. I expected this. This is the path that I choose. I thought I’ll be okay with her there. Is there anything far worse than this? I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying to regain my composure. The steps from the other side of the door behind me reached my senses. I instantly wiped the tears from my eyes and was about to walk away to at least get a grip of myself before seeing whoever between Raine and Calvin came to see me in such a state.Elliot was frantic, yet he didn’t know what to do. He never saw me crying this much and he’s aware how much I hate sympathy. He helped me get up from the cold grip of the marble floor that seems to be luring me inside me of it, giving me a cold comfort I never thought I’d ever need.

“Maryna?” Calvin’s voice followed by Raine’s gasp was enough to have me lowering my head. I was already on my stomach, with only my hands keeping my face from palming itself onto the wooden floor.I wasn’t lowering my head because I was embarrassed, no it was far more than that. It takes more than some simple, pathetic scene to get me to embarrass myself.I chew on the insides of my cheeks, forcing the tears back from my eyes. Letting the anger seep in, I cling onto it. I cling tightly on the now numbing anger that’s kept within the pits of my stomach. “Maryna . . .” Raine was pulling the sheets from the bed while Calvin was in his undergarment, covering only his genitals. They really just came out of the room after doing it. I shake my head, before pushing myself up the cold floor. I was dizzy, but I tried to keep my ground, nailing myself straight to face them head on with confidence.I looked at Raine and was about to glare at her. How dare she have sex with the man that was suppo

“I don’t think she wants to eat with us, Calvin . . .” Raine, still clinging to Calvin’s arm, mumbled, pouting at her mate. Calvin stared at me and Elliot hard that I clenched my bestfriend’s coat even tighter. Elliot seemed to have noticed my panic and instantly took the hand I was clenching. He turned to look at Calvin before looking back at me.“You should—You should go and eat, Elliot.” With trembling hands, I push him away despite his feeble attempt of trying to communicate with me through his magnificent gray eyes. There was just no way I’m letting him get involved in this.I chewed on the insides of my cheek before turning to the eagle who seemed to be listening by how sharp he’s looking at us as though we’re making a scene.I pet its feathers comfortably, avoiding any of their gazes. “Where did you find such a pet, Maryna?” I swallowed the lump in my throat when Calvin’s voice reached my ears. I stayed composed, gently petting the eagle with my trembling hands. “It has lande
