Helanie:
"Hey, hey, watch your step, brother," Maximus arrived at the right ti, wearing a black suit as he held his brother, who looked so bashful as he attempted to fix his posture.
"This rug—" he hissed, lowering his head but side-eyeing .
"Was he checking you out?" I didn’t know Jenny was watching us.
"I was sick last night, so probably that’s why," I shrugged, looking away at Sydney and Salem. They didn’t look happy at all. And the classmates were giving them a hard ti—probably because that was the only ti they could take their revenge on the "evil sisters."
Norman walked away and joined Kaye, while Maximus turned, and his eyes fell on . As he had claid before, he was truly shaless. He even smirked as he walked over to us.
"Jenny, did you ask the two to serve you the starters?" he asked her, pointing at Salem.
"No, I should go and do that," she rushed away, falling for his tricks.
When he looked back at , he found my eyes narrowed at him. "And I thought angels only resided in heaven."
I was kind of showing him a sassy attitude until his comnt made awkwardly stare back at him.
"Why would you—why do you—" I stuttered, hissing under my breath and frowning, until I had so many lines drawn on my forehead.
"Keep stuttering, you look even cuter. As for being , I don’t know. I was kind of stopping myself in the beginning—but then—I thought, who knows?" He made no sense. The way he was using codes to talk was only hurting my head.
"I don’t even think you know what you want to say. Are you tasked to make look bad by responding to your flirting?" I raised my brow, and he copied my gesture, making sigh in exasperation.
He was so annoying.
"Tasked by who, and why would I be tasked to flirt with you?" He slipped his hands in his pants pockets and asked .
I didn’t want to say anything else, or he would put two and two together. I couldn’t say his mom did it so that Kaye could think I flirt with everyone, which wouldn’t make sense anymore because Kaye had already left .
He didn’t leave —he gave a hard choice that he knew I could not accept. Or did he? He didn’t know about my revenge.
"Earth to the angel," Maximus snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention back on him.
"Everyone is here. Emt didn’t co?" I looked around, changing the topic.
"Nope! He doesn’t co here," he replied in a much drier tone.
"My mom—she must not be allowed here," I questioned and answered it myself while nodding my head to myself as I concluded it.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Umm, your aunt and your cousin didn’t co either. And the servants didn’t have to because my mom has her own team of servers. Anyone else you want to talk about to avoid talking about ?" he murmured, making turn my head to him and notice the smirk instantly form back on his face.
However, even while Maximus was talking, I couldn’t help but rember a piece of information that I had been missing.
"Jenny is here. I will see you around," Maximus said as he stepped away. Jenny arrived with Sydney and Salem behind her.
"Co on, give her so fresh orange juice," Jenny asked Salem, who kept glaring at as she shoved the tray in my face.
"Hey, behave!" Jenny almost hissed at her.
I grabbed the juice and dismissed Sydney with a wave of my hand, not feeling like consuming any food.
I had one thing—and only one thing—in my mind.
Kaye accepted .
Previously, I hadn’t seen it as a big deal because I didn’t have a wolf, but now that I had a feeling my wolf was waking up, I was worried.
Everyone was enjoying breakfast, while the brothers and the royals sat separately at a table. The students sat at another table.
I sneakily typed a text for Kaye because I had to resolve this matter before my wolf wakes up and goes into heat. I didn’t want to be connected to soone who was not mine.
: Can you et after midnight?
I raised my head to notice how he reacted to my ssage. That’s why I didn’t want to be involved with anyone—especially not with the one the moon goddess had chosen for . It was pretty obvious that the moon goddess’s choice would hurt .
I watched Kaye hold his phone, then put it under the table, typing sothing.
Professor Kaye: Sure.
When I thought that would be all, his ssage popped up again.
Professor Kaye: But try to co after you’ve changed. I don’t think I can see you in this dress and not lose my control.
Blood and heat rushed to my cheeks, but I killed the feeling instantly. I am not a mate stealer.
I didn’t respond to him.
"Try this," Lamar held his fork up with a shrimp on it. He had to get up and bend all the way over from the other side when offering that bite.
I took it because I did want to enjoy the ti. But my phone blew up instantly after that.
Professor Kaye: What is he doing? Does he not like staying alive? And why are you accepting bites from him?
I just stared at the screen, wondering how he processed things. We were officially over, and he had said yes to choosing Kesha. Then why the heck did he care who I spoke with?
Professor Kaye: And why the heck is Penn staring at you like he has nothing better to do?
His ssage was what brought my attention to Penn. I swiftly looked up from my phone to the side where he was sitting and found him watching . However, my sudden look at him made him look down so awkwardly that I felt bad for catching him like that.
