Chapter 171: 171-The Unknown Threat

Clementine:

"Come on, say it. Tell him it was just a mistake," Joshua insisted. I don’t know how Suki managed to stand so straight, because I could feel my own knees going weak.

Why wasn’t she saying it? She could just say it and let Jack know she would choose Joshua. But I remembered that one conversation I overheard behind a tree. And it seemed Joshua was right, she had made real promises to Jack.

And Jack? I expected him to at least back up his friend, to confirm it was just a mistake like he’d said before. But now, with Suki caught under both their gazes, he didn’t step forward to defend her. He just watched her face, almost like he was waiting for her to decide.

Suki took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Joshua. "It’s true. He was just a mistake."

As soon as she said it, I watched Jack’s face harden.

"You were dealing with a lot at that time, and you couldn’t give me attention, so out of spite and anger, I decided to screw your best friend. I know what I did was wrong. I know I ruined friendships. But trust me, if I have to pick, it will always be you," she finished.

The two guys just stared at her for a moment before Joshua started clapping.

"So you betrayed me for someone who used you as a tool to vent her anger? Good luck, dude. You screwed up," he said, making fun of Jack, who watched her in disbelief, tears forming in his eyes.

"I need to go," Suki said, moving quickly to get to one of the rooms before Jack could confront her in front of us.

As expected, Jack tried to follow, but Joshua grabbed his hand.

"Seriously, dude. While I’m still here, you’re not going to the same room as her. You’ll go to the room on the other side." It was a clear alpha warning his beta to stay away. Jack had no choice but to nod and walk in the opposite direction.

Once their drama ended, I noticed Yorick and Haiden exchange a glance and then stifle their laughter.

"I really thought she would pick Jack," Yorick complained, making me frown at them.

"No, she didn’t, so you lost. You’ll take care of our clothes when we get back to the mainland," Haiden said. That’s when I realized they had made bets. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After a while, we finished dinner and just wanted to sleep. Ian seemed really tense, this was a lot of responsibility for him, especially not messing up the carving. I wanted to go talk to him and let him know we trusted him, but he went straight to the second floor to sleep, and I didn’t get the chance.

Every member of the team had decided to stay awake as a guard for the night. I took that role for our team because I honestly wasn’t sleepy at all. The others insisted, but I could tell they were tired, so they went ahead and slept on the couches.
