After we were taken to the station, our statements were taken down. It was during the wait that Gamma Rhett came in. I could already sense him before he came in.
The moment my extra senses which was an ability I was probably gifted by the Moon Goddess caught up on his scent, I willed the ground to open up and swallow me. Sadly, that could only happen in movies.
When our gazes interlocked, I almost melted with shame. I couldn’t believe this. It felt like I was caught in an abomination. Like I had become my parents.
I felt so horrible.
However, my hurt was soon toppled when Lupe saw him and tapped me, happy that he’d get us out and he walked out like he hadn’t seen me in cuffs. Like he didn’t care.
Like I didn’t matter or wasn’t worthy of his attention. That bloody man.
That bully.
How could he just walk out without showing any concern for Lupe or me? After he’d clipped me in his car, kissed me, touched me, marked me – how?
Was it my fault to think that any of that meant something to him? I mean, it was Gamma Rhett. Rumored to have no heart.
Why’d I think I actually saw genuine affection and desire in his eyes when he saw me? Every time he saw me?
An organ in me began to ache. It ached so bad that when Lupe whispered to me...
"... did he see us?"
I snapped at her, harsher than intended. "Why don’t you go ask him?!"
Her mouth popped open in surprise and slowly, her eyes began to dim. Even the officers around threw us a few glances, wondering what was the cause of my shout. It was then that I realized I had overreacted.
I took my handcuffed hands up and awkwardly scratched my head. "Sorry, Lupe. I just hate being cuffed like a criminal." I muttered.
Lupe sighed deeply beside me and sank down the bench. "And it’s all my fault."
"No, Lupe," I interjected. "It’s all that punk’s fault." I shot a hateful glare at the stupid Drach.
In return, the shameless assface gave me a ’fuck you’ finger. He really felt so unremorseful, and with the way he wasn’t so moved being here, I could tell it wasn’t his first time of getting arrested.
Or perhaps, he had a connection with someone at high places.
"How the hell did you meet that asshole in the first place? I know he’s your mate, but he doesn’t look very familiar." I commented, eyeing him hard for giving me the middle finger.
Lupe’s sigh this time blew a strand of hair away from her face. "Well, you probably haven’t seen him around because he only just came home after the new Alpha was appointed. He’s the Beta’s nephew and not many people know him. He wasn’t always in our pack. He got caught up and was unable to leave when the veil was cast. We met shortly after." She explained.
What the fuck?
