Salem:
"Mmmhmm, I’ll miss you so much," Gavin kissed again, attempting to drag back into his arms while I giggled and got up from the bed ’his bed’.
Lately, his bedroom has been my haven. Ever since the Mate Eclipse started, I had been craving him desperately.
"Do you have to leave?" he held my hand, pouting and refusing to get out of bed. I had dressed up with difficulty because every few seconds he would drag back to bed with him. I had no objection, but there was soone who was bothered.
"Sydney will kill . She said she wants to be there for her tonight," I recalled how she had been calling throughout the night to remind that the minute I was done with Gavin, I must be ready to leave. She had told she was coming over to pick up.
It was still 4:45 a.m., and I wanted to be with Gavin. Of course, my sister didn’t like him. She didn’t even want to visit his place. She said it was too shabby and small. But I liked it. It felt like ho.
I had learned to cook with his mother too. She was a sweetheart, just the perfect kind of family I had always craved. But then there were my father and my sister, who thought I was wasting my ti.
"Why does she so desperately want to beg Altan to give her a chance?" Gavin asked, lying on his stomach, naked, with the sheet covering his torso.
"Every mate wants their mate these nights. She’s been in pain and wants Altan to have rcy on both of them and at least have an intimate relationship for these days," I explained, and Gavin pouted because he too understood what it would feel like to not be with your fated mate during these nights of torture.
"So you guys are visiting his father to make him convince Altan?" Gavin asked, and I shrugged.
"I have no clue what they’re planning. I just know Altan won’t agree. He thinks this is the perfect kind of pain he deserves for what happened to Helanie. He’s still guilt-ridden about that night," I sighed.
"As he should," Gavin grunted before he got up and started kissing my shoulder again. I laughed because I knew he couldn’t stay apart from for a minute. I was his second-chance mate, so it was a similar case with us. We’d feel pain if we didn’t do it, and honestly speaking, we were already doing it every night, so it was just perfect for us.
"I have to go now. She’s at the apartnt’s entrance," I noticed her text and instantly got into my shoes before she started screaming and woke up everyone.
"And of course she won’t co upstairs. You know, I promise to work hard and get you a place that’ll be suitable for you and your worth," he whispered, cupped my face in his hands, and planted a kiss on my lips.
"My sweet Gavin, you’ve already given that place," I placed my hand on his naked chest and uttered with a smile of affection.
However, I really didn’t want to leave him. I was so comfortable here. With Sydney, it was all negativity and her complaining about everything. Gavin was so positive—we barely ever had problems, apart from the tis when he would seduce while I was sitting with his mother, unable to do anything.
But I liked those tis as well.
"Ah, I’m going to miss you so much," he let out a cry before getting out of bed to put on his clothes.
"You don’t have to co with . I’ll be fine," I instantly stopped him. He didn’t have to change just to walk downstairs.
"But I want to," he protested with a little pout forming on his lips.
"Gavin, please! I don’t want to bother you. I’ll be fine."
At this point, I bet even he knew I didn’t want him to face Sydney, who would once again say an and hurtful things to him. I didn’t like her humiliating him.
"Okay... but please co back soon." He held my hands and gave the weakest smile.
At that mont, my gut told to tell my sister to fuck off and stay here with him. I was happiest with him. But then again, I didn’t want to be selfish.
It was hard saying goodbye to Gavin. But I had to do it. In the last five minutes before my sister arrived, she had blown up my phone more than a toxic ex would.
I left Gavin’s apartnt, took the elevator to the ground floor, and then got into the passenger seat with her.
"You even sll like them now," was the first thing Sydney said, spraying so freshener just to make feel low about dating Gavin.
"Still better than your perfus and refreshers," I grunted, checking my phone.
As always, Helanie had wished good night and good morning before everyone else. She had told she was dealing with the pain, and I knew why. I had told her to speak to her mates, to be with them. But after she blew them off last night, they’d been distancing themselves from her.
But I’m sure it was just an act.
"Are you seriously reading her texts while being in my car?" she grunted, peeking at my screen.
"Mind your own business, Sydney. Focus on the road." I put my phone in my lap and folded my arms across my chest.
"Why do you even hang out with her? She took everything from . I’m expelled, with no hope for my future. I don’t even have my mate with because he’s too busy grieving losing that slut."
That was it. I hated whenever she used that word for Helanie.
"Or maybe you’re the problem! Why do you think nobody wants to hang out with you?" I yelled in desperation. Every ti I was with her, she repeated the sa things over and over until she exhausted .
"You know what, you have to make a choice today," she snapped. "You either choose her or help take revenge. Together, we can take her down. So tell , what is it? Because you will lose forever if you choose her."
She shocked when she bluntly asked to choose between them.
