Chapter 194
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 .
Hadnt Ethan taught me anything? I couldnt 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 wasnt sure Id 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 dont 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 , thats 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 Dont 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 wasnt 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 .
Dont 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 Im speaking to .
You are a liar , and I shouldnt have trusted you .
You are all the same ! Whats 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 didnt know how to sweet talk himself out of this .
Still going to pretend it wasnt a date ? I muttered bitterly .
1 turned away from him and was about to leave but he grabbed my arm , stopping me immediately .
It wasnt 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 Im 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 wont 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 .
Dont 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 .
