Helanie:
He looked so happy, as if he hadn't spent a sleepless night after leaving me at the subway.
He wore a fancy black suit, all smiles and laughter while being greeted by my mother and Lord McQuoid. I couldn't do it. His sight destroyed my mental health. The young alpha getting hugged by everyone had left me to die.
I turned around and sped up, my ears blocking out every sound except for my heartbeat. As I stormed in, I bumped into the hard chest of Maximus, stepping back before pushing him aside with force to get away and hide in my room.
"What's wrong with her now?" I heard Norman ask Maximus, but I didn't stay to listen and rushed inside.
After everything that had happened, now I was someone who trapped Alphas. Seeing Altan reminded me of his accusations when my father reached out to him for me.
He told his father and the council that I was trying to trap him—and the other Alphas too.
And now that Maximus, Kaye, and Norman think the same, nobody will believe me.
