Helanie:
"Ugh!" I groaned in pain, coming to a halt after half an hour. Sure, I had so strength from my wolf, but it was nowhere near enough to cover the mountains in one hour.
No one could—unless it was obviously the brothers. They were strangely powerful, and I could understand why Maximus was, but the others were no ordinary ones either.
I bent down with my hands on my knees, struggling for breath.
I deserved this treatnt. How the fuck did I let two brothers fool ?
I should have stayed focused on my mission, but deep down inside, I was still that dumb, hopelessly romantic idiot.
I sighed and straightened my back, taking one more step and grimacing in pain.
"Take a rest and go back to your dorm room," I heard a voice from behind , and I didn’t have to turn around to see who it was.
"No, thank you, Trainer Maximus. I was asked to finish my round, and I won’t stop until I’ve achieved that target," I groaned arrogantly, turning around to head back to the starting point.
"This is the fifth ti I’ve told you that your punishnt is over. You’re free, and you’re just being stubborn," Maximus said, his hands on his waist, looking angry.
He had actually asked to stop the first ti I tried to reach my goal in one hour. Every ti I realized I couldn’t, I would return to my starting point and start over.
I would quit running midway once I realized I had wasted too much ti and covered very little ground. So, keeping on going wasn’t benefiting . I would return and restart.
"If you want to be a bad guy, be a bad guy. I don’t want your sympathy," I hissed at him, stretching my arms a bit.
"Huh? You think I’m the one in the wrong? You betrayed and left in the middle—" As he began to hiss and co at , I yelled back at him.
"Why? Mommy wasn’t helping you? How were you alone?"
My words struck him—I could tell because he stepped back and raised his brow at .
"What the fuck? Why are you dragging my mother into this ss?" He didn’t sound too pleased.
I guess it was ti I told him the truth.
His truth.
I wouldn’t let him act like a victim of my poisonous claws.
But I must say, I was shocked that his mother agreed to him accepting Charlotte. What was she planning now? She would have never accepted anyone related to my mother, so why Charlotte?
"I heard you!" I hissed.
"I never said you were deaf," he kept the sa confused look on his face.
"Maximus, I heard you speak with your mother," I muttered, and the minute I did, tears started to form in my eyes. I hated acting like he had succeeded in hurting .
"About what? What did you hear?" The look on his face told he was beginning to understand. He tried to approach , but I stepped back.
"I heard you talk about trapping and using against my mother. I fucking heard you say you thought of as a dumb tool, sothing you were going to use to stop the engagent before you kicked out too," I scread, then covered my face with my hands, hiding the tears that had escaped my eyes.
He looked shocked that I had found out about his plan.
"Fuck!" he cussed, his hands flying to his head. "That was just to play my mother!"
I stepped back and rolled my eyes. His audacity was sothing else. I couldn’t believe he was twisting the story so outrageously.
"Of course, you’re not going to admit it. I am such a fool," I shook my head, waving my hands to dismiss the topic. I didn’t have a reason to keep talking to him.
"No, wait!" As I tried to get past him, he stepped in my way and spread his arms to block my path. "I swear I’m not lying. My mom asked to fool you and all that, but I figured if I made her believe I was being honest, she would let have you. And when it was ti for to kick you out of my life, I would backstab her and make you my queen," he explained, trying his best to sound genuine.
But I didn’t care anymore. I wasn’t that much of a fool to believe his ridiculously unbelievable story.
"Sure!" I scoffed and attempted to get away when sothing he said stopped dead in my tracks.
"You’re the one who played , though," he continued flipping the script on .
"Sure!" I clicked my tongue. It was obvious he was grasping at straws to accuse of sothing and make himself look innocent. But what he said next shook to my core, and I turned to look at his face in shock.
"You never told that whatever I felt with you was because of your pheromones."
"What? You’re not going to say anything?" He had genuine tears in his eyes.
I stared at his face, my breath quickening, but before I could respond, soone else had it out for .
"Why the fuck are you not running?" Kaye scread from afar, and I visibly startled at his sudden arrival. The anger in his tone jolted out of my own thoughts.
"It’s okay, Kaye. She’s off the punishnt," Maximus said in a very grumpy and angry tone.
Kaye, who was walking toward us like he was about to kill an enemy, ignored his brother completely. He walked right past him and stopped face to face with . I even had to step back to create so distance between us.
"Get going. You are not getting spared until you’re done," he hissed, his eyes glaring daggers at .
I just felt a dark vibe from Kaye, almost like I didn’t recognize him.
