Chapter 194

Chapter 0194 In just a heartbeat, it felt like my entire world had been crashing down around me. Gavin lied to me. He had taken Skyla out on a date and kissed her... the evidence was in this new story and now I felt stupid for falling for such a nasty trick.

Hadn’t Ethan taught me anything?

I couldn’t trust anyone. They would all betray me. Ellian was my fated mate and even he betrayed me. Now Gavin was betraying me? The shower turned off and I quickly got out of bed, I grabbed a pair of jeans and a T–shirt. I wanted to get out of here before lie left the bathroom. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to face him right now. I was fuming and I knew it would only be bad.

My wolf was in despair, and she was also angry over the fact that Gavin had lied to us. What was wrong with me? Why did I keep getting played so badly like this?

Just as I reached the door, the bathroom door swung open and Gavin stepped out, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Beads of water trailed down his broad chest and I found myself staring made my at it for the longest moment as it disappeared beneath the towel. Seeing him like this always heart skip a beat and it was a struggle to pull my eyes away from it and up at his face.

He was staring at me with an amused look in his eyes, having caught me checking him out. My cheeks flushed but it was mainly out of rage and not because of embarrassment. I was about to turn and leave, but his voice stopped me.

“Are you leaving for somewhere?” He asked, glancing at the time. “You don’t have to be at school for another few hours. I was wondering how you were feeling. If you want, we could...” his voice trailed off when he saw the hurt expression on my face.

“So, that’s why you spent the night here even after knowing I was sick?” I asked through my teeth. “Did you not get enough last night that you needed to get some from me as well?”

He narrowed his eyes, a frown marring his lips.

“What are you talking about?

פון “Don’t play stupid with me, Gavin,” 1 all but shouted. I know exactly what you were doing last night, and I feel so stupid to believe that it wasn’t an actual date. But that was a lie. It was a date... you were on a date with her and then you came here and lied to me about it!”

A low growl escaped his throat as he stepped closer to me.

“Don’t speak to me like that. You are out of line. Remember who you are speaking to,” he said in a low and deadly tone.

I gave h a mocking laugh.

“Oh, trust me. I know exactly who I’m speaking to. You are a liar, and I shouldn’t have trusted you. You are all the same!”

“What’s the meaning of this outburst?” He asked, his eye glowing yellow as his wolf fought to take 1/2 control. I wondered if he wanted to tear my throat out.

“Are you still playing stupid?” I asked as I pulled out of my phone.

I brought up the headline and showed it to him, watching his eyes widen as he took in the photo underneath the headline. He was at a loss for words; he had been caught in a lie and now he didn’t know how to sweet talk himself out of this.

“Still going to pretend it wasn’t a date?” I muttered bitterly.

1 turned away from him and was about to leave but he grabbed my arm, stopping me immediately. It wasn’t enough to hurt me, but enough to send me into a fight or flight mode. I whipped around and slapped him hard in the face. He barely flinched and I’m pretty sure I hurt my hand way more than I hurt his face, but it still felt good to hear the sound and to know I made some kind of impact on him.

“You are acting like a fool,” he said between his teeth. Calm yourself down before you go anywhere. I won’t have you leaving here like this.”

“Why? Am I embarrassing you, Alpha?” I asked sarcastically. “I apologize.” I mocked a head bow before pulling my arm out of his grasp. “Don’t touch me!”

He grabbed my arm again and this time he shoved me against the wall, his wolf surging forward slightly and I could see him fighting to control himself. I thought he was about to rip out my throat, but when he nuzzled his face in the nape of my neck and inhaled deeply, letting out a shuttering breath, I felt my body relaxing. His close proximity gave my wolf and body a strange reaction and the anger I was once feeling started to subside.
