Helanie:
"So, you are telling me that you will ruin my relationship with my mate—" Before Lucy could start her yapping, Lamar silenced her with his scoff.
"Ex-mates," he reminded her.
"Ohhh, but it never says anywhere that an ex-mate cannot become a mate again," she shrugged, but the tears in her eyes told me she was probably genuinely thinking she was a victim in this situation as well.
But she wasn't. What she was asking for was diabolical. This wouldn't help her move on, and if they kept doing this, Gavin would lose his second-chance mate too. Salem had changed a lot, at least towards us. I hadn't seen her interact with the others, but I could tell she had been trying to become a better version of herself for Gavin, and since Gavin confided in me that he wanted her too, it was really unfair what was going on here.
"Stop playing these games, Lucy," I advised her, feeling so distant from her that I couldn't even reach her heart anymore.
