I sighed and buried my face in my hands so I could let out a<\/p>\n<p>groan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust great\u2026\u201d I murmur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou went on a date with him,\u201d Lukas said, putting his phone back in his pocket. \u201cHe has a claim on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, he doesn\u2019t,\u201d I said firmly. \u201cOur relationship is complicated. We never really discussed what any of this means. So, what if I went on a date with him? You probably go on lots of dates with women\u2026 doesn\u2019t mean you are in a relationship with all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t blind to the fact that Lukas was a good-looking guy, not to mention he had Lycan blood because he was a Merriweather. I had no doubt in my mind that he got his fair share of women, and I doubt he took all of them seriously.<\/p>\n<p>His face reddened slightly, and he gave me a slight shrug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, so what?\u201d He murmured. \u201cNone of them are Lycan\u2019s and none of them are Gavin Landry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, all I\u2019m saying is that Gavin had no right to tell you to not look at me. He had no right to command you anything. You not only someone I\u2019m needing paid to tutor, but I also consider you my friend, Lukas. He doesn\u2019t get to tell me who I can and can\u2019t be friends with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstand where you are coming from\u2026 I truly do,\u201d he said, scooting a bit away from me to gain some distance, making me frown. \u201cBut you also have to understand where I am coming from. He Alpha commanded me\u2026 he\u2019s powerful and he\u2019s scary. One wrong move and he\u2019ll either kill me, or my uncle will pull my tuition and force me to go home. I can\u2019t let that happen. I have dreams that only this school can happen. I need to keep my nose clean\u2026 just like my uncle said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I stared at him for a bit longer; he refused to look at me but now I knew it wasn\u2019t because he didn\u2019t want to or that he was afraid of me\u2026 it was because he literally couldn\u2019t. I felt a rage burn in the pit of my stomach, but I didn\u2019t argue with him. There was no use in arguing with him.<\/p>\n<p>I knew one thing for sure though, I wasn\u2019t going to let Gavin get away with this. I was pissed and I needed answers as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>As class came to an end, Lukas was quick to leave. Typically, we would have made plans to study in the library or meet up somewhere, but he didn\u2019t bother with it today and I now understood why.<\/p>\n<p>I met up with Nan in our usual spot by te Oaktree on the quad. She was leaning against the tree with her textbook in hand and her legs crossed in front of her. She smiled when she saw me approaching, but when she saw the disdained look on my face, her smile faltered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened?\u201d She asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you later,\u201d I told her. \u201cI need to cool off. I might skip our normal study session in the lounge and head to the gym instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She nodded as she stood up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll come with,\u201d she said. \u201cI could use a workout before class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I nodded and together we headed toward the gym area. As we reached the doors, we heard a familiar voice coming from around the corner, We were outside still, so I knew the voice was coming from behind the building.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at Nan who gave me an equally confused frown, also<\/p>\n<p>recognizing the voice. I motioned for<\/p>\n<p>her to follow me, and she did. We<\/p>\n<p>walked around the building, and<\/p>\n<p>paused when I saw Sammy pacing back and forth. Her phone was glued to her ear, and she had a furrow between her brows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea\u2026 I want out\u2026\u201d she said in a low and harsh tone. She paused for a moment, her face paling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, not but\u2026\u201d she paused again, listening to whatever was being said to her on the other end. She nibbled on her lower lip, and I swear I saw tears filling her eyes. \u201cI don\u2019t want that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She paused again, her body resting against the stone building like it physically hurt her to keep standing. She lowered her gaze to the ground, her shoulders slumping slightly, and a long sigh escaped her lips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d she finally said after what felt like a long time. \u201cI\u2019ll do it\u2026 I\u2019ll reach out to him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sara is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
