Chapter 131: This Is Joanna!
“Would you like to co downstairs for breakfast, or do you want to bring it up?” Michael asked.
As he said this, Michael reached out and brushed my hair away from my ear. His breath hit my face with seduction, like a caring and gentle lover.
I was shocked that I hadn’t noticed Michael’s good side before. I had been so focused on our fight that I hadn’t realized until now that there was an intoxicating experience with Michael.
Not only was Michael obnoxious and arrogant and manipulative, but if I listened to him, I would derive more pleasure from him than I ever imagined.
“I want to go down and eat,” I said to Michael with a smile.
I walked down the stairs with Michael, and as I walked down the stairs, I imagined what I had seen yesterday. A strange woman, a royal Lycan, had rushed up and hugged my mate. Then, she shalessly caressed my mate’s chest with her hand, which was mine.
The recollection rekindled my anger, but I didn’t see the b*tch in the living room as we walked down the last step.
Michael held my hand, and I could feel his breath caressing .
I smiled at Michael to show that I was in good shape.
But the good tis were short-lived, and as Michael and I sat down to eat our olets, Joanna and Sasha pushed the door open and entered.
They looked like they had just co back from a run. They wore similar short blazers, shorts that reached down to the base of their thighs, and a towel around their necks. They slled like healthy hormones.
They saw us, too. Sasha went to the fridge for a soda, gulped it down, and sat on the couch casually.
Yesterday, Sasha seed hostile to Joanna, but today, they were like sisters.
......
My eyes were on Joanna, and I couldn’t hide my hostility; sohow, my wolf made do the sa. We hadn’t known each other for very long, and we’d only t yesterday, but my heart made hate her.
It was a woman’s intuition, and my experience told it couldn’t be wrong. The blonde in front of was not a friendly character. She would be my enemy.
Instead, Joanna t my eyes and gave a charming smile.
Yes, even as an enemy, I had to admit that she was sexy.
Her long hair was pulled back into a ponytail, but her features were still sexy. She wasn’t wearing makeup and wore plain old tracksuits, but the sweat added to her charm. She was like a living plant.
Her blond hair hung over her shoulders, her sky-blue eyes glead with confidence, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly as if she were trying to seduce Michael.
The tension in the room was palpable. I could feel my hair standing on end, but Joanna seed unfazed.
She handed a towel to one of the servants and sat down as the host across from Michael and . Her movents were natural as if the place belonged to her, and the confidence that radiated from within made sick.
I felt the olet, which had been delicious just a mont ago, suddenly lose its flavor.
Sasha sat down next to Joanna.
Sasha and Joanna sat on one side, and Michael and I on the other. So I was facing Sasha, and Joanna, damn it, was facing Michael.
I was wondering how I would scold her if she tried to be nice to Michael, but Joanna spoke to first, “We t briefly yesterday but didn’t have the chance to say hello. Would either of you like to introduce to this young lady?”
Her eyes darted between Sasha and Michael for a mont, and then, unsurprisingly, they landed on Michael.
Michael didn’t look at her. Instead, he just lowered his head and drank his coffee. I could tell Michael wasn’t happy Joanna was here, sowhat easing my anger.
“Let introduce you. This is Cecily, Michael’s mate.”
Of course, the only person who could answer Joanna’s question was Sasha. She seed to be the least affected person among us.
Although Joanna seed calm and collected, I still felt she was faking it. Beneath her skin was evil intent.
Sasha looked at again and said, “Cecily, this is Joanna. She’s... Michael’s forr friend.”
I noticed Sasha’s careful wording. She thought I didn’t know about Michael and Joanna’s past relationship. She didn’t want to create any more cracks between Michael and . I accepted her kindness.
