Helanie:
"Hello," he spoke in his British accent, the accent that had given shivers in my nightmares.
"Hey?" He waved his hand in front of my face to break my intense eye contact with him.
"Umm, hi!" Lamar quickly stepped up and extended his hand for a handshake. I jumped to the side to get out of his fra. As Lamar started to speak with him, I slipped behind Lamar’s back.
"I am Lamar," Lamar said, and the guy shook his hand. However, there was a weird energy around him. No wonder he seed hesitant to touch anyone who wasn’t an alpha like him.
But he wasn’t so thoughtful when he had his hands on a helpless oga that one night. My body shuddered, and I lowered my head, trying to calm my raced breaths.
Maybe he didn’t recognize .
Or else he would have said sothing.
"I am Alpha Rayden," he introduced himself, and the more I heard him, the more I recalled the ugly details of that night.
All I wanted to do was jump at him and claw the skin off his face.
"That is Gavin and Lucy, and she is Helanie," Jenny took over and introduced us in a very bored tone. I could tell she wasn’t happy that Rayden had co to her cabin.
"Nice to et you all. And thanks for taking care of my mate so well," he walked over to Jenny and wrapped his arm around her shoulder to squeeze her closer.
I gulped, my mind racing with so many thoughts. Why couldn’t I kill him right now? I was sure my friends would help , right?
No!
No one would be okay with the idea of killing an alpha. It would lead to life-altering consequences. No one is stupid enough to fight with an alpha when I can’t even provide them with proof of the cri that had been committed that night.
My father never let go to the hospital to get a test done.
"Hey, you okay?" I didn’t even realize how long I had been staring into space until Lamar waved his hand before my face. I saw Rayden standing next to Gavin with his back facing . Not being in his line of sight was such a relief.
"I am tired," I whispered to Lamar, not even courageous enough to raise my voice.
"Oh, I guess I arrived at a very bad ti. I heard so commotion going on. What happened? Soone was talking about a lot of cheating in this group," Rayden said with a judgntal tone when talking about our group.
I an, it was no secret that he didn’t like us. He had to co here because he wanted to stay close to Jenny, who was probably doing her best to spend as much ti apart from him as possible.
"Do you want to drop you ho?" Lamar asked, and I just shook my head.
"I want to go by myself," I whispered, and he instantly shook his head at the idea.
"Please," I requested, and he kept watching my face as though I had gone crazy.
I wanted to get out of there before Rayden turned around again. I didn’t wait for Lamar to argue and started rushing out of the cabin. The others had been so busy that nobody noticed , but Lamar was coming after .
"I’ll only make sure you’re at the hostel’s entrance, and then I’ll go back to stay with Lucy and Gavin," he said from behind . But I didn’t slow down.
I would definitely thank him later for walking by my side. It really helped with my anxiety. After I reached the hostel, just like he had said, he turned around to leave when I called for him.
"Thank you, Lamar."
I watched him slow down and turn around to look at my face. "I’m always here for you."
With that, he sprinted back to the cabin because he knew Lucy would be alone in there. With the rejection, the two of them must be devastated.
However, I was upset that I couldn’t stay with Lucy at that mont, and I couldn’t even have a word with Gavin.
Although the two had ssed up, I had a feeling that sohow Gavin was more at fault.
I could be wrong, though.
I was rushing to the elevator when I saw Salem get in with . That was new. I groaned, almost hitting the button in anger.
She never uses the elevator, so if she was doing this to get under my skin, she had succeeded.
"Where is Gavin?" she inquired in a low murmur.
"Why? I thought he was in your mouth last ti. Did you lose him just like you lost your sha?" I turned to her, already yelling in her face.
"Helanie! It’s not my fault. Those two were long done. And besides, Gavin is a nice guy, and he’s been a good friend to ," she shocked with her words.
He was her friend?
So all this ti, when she was bullying and dragging down, one of my friends was being a friend to her?
"Look, Lucy is not a good girl for him—" Before she could continue talking, I raised my palm and silenced her.
"And you’re the perfect match for him? Is that what you’re trying to say?" I scoffed at her and rolled my eyes at the fact that I wasn’t letting her speak.
The elevator stopped at her floor, but she remained standing because I wasn’t done yet. "Now get out. And rember to co to my bedroom because I want you to clean it thoroughly," I ordered her. I watched her open her mouth to express her shock before she walked out, and the elevator doors closed on her face.
"Ugh!" I grunted angrily, stomping my foot on the ground.
As I got off on my floor and reached my bedroom, I found a hand pull behind the wall and pin against it, with another big hand covering my mouth.
"I knew I had seen you before. You’re the girl from that night," Rayden said, staring back into my eyes, his hand covering my mouth, and with his other hand, he made sure to hold still against the wall.
