CHAPTER 36

Anger rushed through Alyssa's veins as she listened to her brother go on and on in Ebsy's defence, claiming that he probably wasn't looking for them. “His intentions may be pure, Ally. I mean, if he was really after us, he would have come for me the moment the match was over. He would have seen me on the screen.”

“What are you insinuating?” She demanded, fury etched into her voice.

“Listen Ally. I think we're letting what happened in the past get into our heads and mess with us. Think about it, we are running when nothing is chasing us. Maybe he had some difficulties and just appeared that way.”

“Are you done?” She snapped.

“Ally?”

“Answer me,” she yelled.

There was silence on the end of the phone before a silent, “yes.”

“Now hear me speak,” she said, “Never ever defend your enemy.”

“He's not even—”

But she wasn't willing to listen to any of his bullshit. She hung up before he could complete his statement. How could he be on Ebsy's side?

She knew the reason Ebsy didn't go for Ethan.
