Chapter 137: After Dinner Confrontations

Pollux.

288 Wonders

The moment Cassie left the room became extremely silent. Odin stood where Cassie had once been, his fists clenched at his sides as he stared towards the empty archway that led to the dining room. I wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but the powerful aura radiating off him right now was enough to make my wolf cower in fear.

“Odin, please come sit,” Freya said as she stood from her seat.

For a moment, I thought he was going to agree, but as he stood there, he growled with what seemed frustration. “Everyone get out! Dinner is over.”

He didn’t have to tell me or anyone else twice as we all scattered, including the blue-haired beauty who had once been sitting with Cassie.

I wasn’t sure who the girl was, but something about her I found completely intoxicating. The soft strands of electric blue hair framed her face perfectly, highlighting those mesmerizing green eyes, and when she moved, it was almost like she glided across the floor, her long purple dress flowing behind her.

Everything in my body told me to go after her, but the moment I stepped from the dining hall, she had disappeared and I didn’t have the slightest clue as to where she had gone.

“She’s the one, isn’t she?” Lucas’ voice taunted from behind

me, causing me to groan. The last thing I wanted to do was entertain him, but no matter how much I tried to avoid this asshole, he always seemed to be around at the worst of times.

Turning to face him, I narrowed my eyes and glared in his direction. “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Are you seriously going to play that card?” He laughed before heading, down the hallways towards the dorms. “Of all the people, I thought you would have been excited.”

“Again, what the hell are you talking about, Vega?”

Lucas stopped in his tracks, glancing over his shoulder at me with nothing but amusement lingering in his eyes. “Aren’t you the one who was always determined to find your soul mate, Lux? Yet, you can’t even see her when your given the chance.”

Soul mate? He thought that girl was my mate?

It was my turn to laugh and as I did, I passed where he stood. “She isn’t my mate.”

For him to even think the girl was my mate was amusing. Yeah, she was gorgeous, but she was no shifter and my mate had to be a shifter. Honestly, was Lucas not aware of our culture at all? I wasn’t sure where he had been educated by pack life at all.

“Whatever you have to tell yourself, Lux. Anyone in that room could see the tension between you and her. Not to mention you couldn’t keep your eyes off her the entire time we were in there, minus when Cassie went off on Odin…”

Reaching my door, I turned to look at him from down the hall

once more. “You know, for someone who can’t even be with his mate because she despises him, you have a lot of shit to say, don’t you?”

Lucas gave a low growl as his canines protruded. “Watch yourself, Lux, the last thing you want to do is piss me off. You have no idea who I really am.”

Not wasting time for me to reply, Lucas entered his room and slammed the door behind him, leaving me staring at the space he had once occupied. Anger wasn’t the only thing I was feeling at that moment, and as much as I wanted to ignore what he said, I couldn’t.

No one really knew who Lucas was, and that was unsettling. If he was going to be mated to my sister, I needed to know. In the end, I had no doubt about his ability to end up taming my sister. After seeing how she looked at him when they were near it was obvious to anyone who took notice that she wanted him.

Just as much as he wanted her.

Cassie.

The nerve of that man. To think, once upon a time, I looked at Odin as an all powerful being. One who could fix all of our problems, and instead, he was a complete fucking asshole. “Cassie, are you okay?” 

Trixie’s voice called out to me from my bedroom door, and as I stormed around my room, I turned to her, watching her close the door quietly before walking further in with caution on her face.

“Can you believe what he said in there!” I yelled, shaking my head in anger. “He is a complete dick.”

“Cassie-” Trixie quickly said, looking around as if someone could hear us right now. “You can’t say things like that. He is the man in charge, and trust me, you don’t want to get on his bad side.”

His bad side?

I wasn’t worried about getting on this man’s bad side. What I was worried about was trying to find a way to get back home. There was no way I was staying here under the care of a man who had basically used my grandmother the way he did.

“Trixie, do you honestly think what he did was okay? I mean, that’s horrible how he tricked my grandmother like that-”

“Cassie, you didn’t even let him finish. For all you know, he did tell her afterwards, but instead of listening, you freaked out on him and caused a scene. There are always multiple sides to a story.”

Raising a brow, I stared at her in shock. How she spoke to me reminded me’ so much of Melissa, and with a heavy sigh, I nodded.

Maybe she was right, maybe I did freak out on her for no reason.

There was no way that was possible. After hearing the stories of who Odin was, and what he used to do in legends, there was no way I could believe that.
