"What happened? Why are you looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost?" It was Jenny asking me that question. I thought someone else had recognized me.

I quickly gulped and straightened my spine to answer her.

"Helanie! Are you angry with me?" she asked, and I shook my head, walking past her.

I guess that’s why she kept thinking I was angry with her--because she’d reached me at times when I was in a rush. Not to mention, sticking with her would mean eventually meeting her mate.

"I’m kind of in a rush," I replied, stepping into the elevator.

"I know," she said, rushing after me as the door closed behind us.

"You’re rushing away from me," she stated, her eyes making me feel guilty. "You even left my brother at the café today. If I knew you’d run off just from my one glance, I wouldn’t have gone there. I wasn’t comfortable being with my mate, so I thought being with you guys would make me feel better."

I had to tell her something so she wouldn’t feel guilty.

"Jenny, I’m going after Lucy. She found Gavin cheating on her with Salem," I said. My words caught her attention, and a gasp escaped her lips.

"What? Where is Lucy?" she asked, and I shrugged.

"Maybe in her room?" I replied, and Jenny shook her head.

"I was actually there before I met you. I was looking for you and found the room empty. I’m pretty sure I saw her run downstairs," she said, and I had a feeling she must have left the hostel again.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a full moon night, but the outside still felt like a dangerous place to be.

"I’ll come with you," she said. As we began rushing toward the exit, I had to remind her of something.

"Can you please not tell Penn or anyone? I think Lucy wouldn’t want anyone else coming along with us," I said, my voice tinged with guilt. I was lying so bluntly now, without even thinking what if we encounter trouble and need help?

Then we’ll call Lamar.

Once we stepped out of the hostel, I felt a brief sense of relief. But my concern for Lucy was increasing.

I had never seen her so speechless before. I remembered when she thought Gavin had cheated on her, she was so lost. Now that she’d seen him in action, I could only imagine her pain.
