Helanie:
Norman forced the worry off his face and turned around to respond to his brother.
"I was just ntioning you, nothing specific," he said, quickly changing his tone. It impressed how smoothly he did that.
"No, you were telling her not to go around talking about . What is she saying about ?" My body shuddered at the realization that he had taken it the wrong way.
"I am not going around talking about you with anyone," I jumped to explain myself. It doesn’t feel good when soone breaks your trust, and I definitely didn’t want to do that to Maximus.
Even though there was no real trust between us after I found out he had played a ga with , I still refused to be the kind of person who attracts negativity and plays gas behind soone’s back.
"I am asking my brother," Maximus raised his finger as if telling not to interrupt.
"She’s not lying. She wasn’t talking about you to anyone," Norman jumped in, explaining it to him, but Maximus seed weirdly upset.
Even though it didn’t seem like a big deal—at least not to —he was acting like he had caught talking about him to others.
Or maybe it was just his fear of getting exposed as a Lycan.
"So now you’re going to cover for her gas?" Maximus said to Norman, giving him a betrayed look before hastily walking past us to leave the mansion.
I didn’t understand what had just happened. Norman turned to and gave a look, making scowl back at him.
"You are the problem," I mouthed at him before he blad for upsetting his brother.
Norman left after Maximus while I went outside where the kids were playing. The minute I approached them, they lowered their heads in guilt.
"We are sorry," Demi apologized, while Davon remained silent behind her.
"It’s alright, but you have to stand up for yourself. You know if you let her bully you, she will only get worse." I ran my hand through her hair, and sohow it comforted her so much that she hugged my legs and closed her eyes.
After she cald down, we sat on the grass to play with her Legos. We were building the Lego set while they talked about their life and what they did at boarding school.
It was so upsetting that these kids had such powerful parents, yet they were mostly at boarding school. They could have been given private lessons and stayed ho to join a regular school.
"But don’t feel bad for us," Davon said. "It’s for our own good. We have a hyperactive wolf."
His words made narrow my eyes at him in even more confusion.
"Silly, she wouldn’t know that," Demi was very helpful and observant. She noticed the bewildered look on my face and quickly shut her brother down to explain in simpler words.
"They say we are too young to be hearing our wolf talk to us," she shocked with how young they were and yet their wolves were already awake.
"Your wolf is awake?" I asked Demi, who nodded with a proud smile on her lips.
"But it’s too soon," she pouted sadly.
"However, it also ans we are very powerful," Davon shrugged, showing his teeth as he smiled.
Hmm, that was odd. I never really asked myself the right questions because I was so drowned in my own life troubles, but the kids talking about their wolves turned my attention to sothing crazy.
What was it about this family that each of them had sothing weird going on? These kids had their wolves wake up earlier than anyone else, Emt was wandering around the woods acting strange the other day, and then there was Maximus—why was he the Lycan?
We played the rest of the day before it was ti for to head ho.
"What’s going on?" I asked Lamar as he called , breathing heavily.
"Jenny is feeling sick, so I have to take her to the hospital. Can you wait just half an hour before I co pick you up?" he asked, sounding so worried.
"Yeah, that’s not an issue. Just tell what’s going on with Jenny. Is she alright?" I was concerned for her. She was a good friend, and I had grown closer to her over ti. I could only imagine how Lamar was feeling, watching her sick.
"I don’t know what happened to her exactly. She was waiting for in our dorm room, and when I ca in, I found her passed out."
That wasn’t good news. I grew impatient to find out what had caused her to lose consciousness.
"Okay, go with her and stay by her side. I’m sure it will be nothing," I wasn’t sure myself but tried to comfort Lamar.
As he hung up, I stared up at the sky and groaned. It was going to rain soon, and I had to get back to the academy before Charlotte returned from her salon appointnt. I was not in the mood to face her and hear her taunt .
"Child, why are you standing here?" I didn’t realize Lord McQuoid was going sowhere with my mother by his side.
She hadn’t crossed my path even once in the past two days. She avoided like I didn’t exist, and I guess that was the right way for us to deal with each other.
"I’m waiting for a friend to pick up. He will be here in half an hour," I gave him a smile, thinking that would be enough to finish the conversation.
My mother looked comfortable too, so I expected Lord McQuoid to just leave it at that.
"That will be too late then. If you can’t stay here for the night, let ask soone to drop you ho. The kids have gone to bed, and the others are out. Only Emma will be left, so you will feel lonely."
I guess this was his way of telling I’d have to share a roof with Emma if he didn’t find anyone to take ho.
"Kaye is in his room. Let ask him to drop you ho," without waiting for to object, Lord McQuoid stepped aside to call the one person who hated my guts more than anyone else now.
