My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 26

"Let's talk about it." He offers and I grimace a little confused, "I've been totally friend zone so I might as well help you with your Malic situation." I look up at him completely dazed.

"What?" I swallow with my heart in my chest.

"It's kinda obvious." He shrugs.

"We're dropping the topic." I insist and he goes quite for a moment, if he could tell that I like Saint imagine what my own parents picked up! "Actually, you're going to tell me what happened between you guys."

Now he's the dazed one. "You always insist we don't talk about it when he's there. Well," I look around "no one's here."

"Well I didn't know him, I still don't." He leans his head back making it hang upside down, I watch him swallow moving his Adam's apple in his throat.

"That's it?" He turns his head towards me before hanging it again "Tomas!" I hit him in the arm now forcing him to elaborate, he chuckles at me but doesn't budge so I start to plot "You know what? It's fine," I put my tray down.

"I just wanted to hear your side of the story." I sit up probably and pull my sandals closer to me, I hear him move meaning he's probably sitting up straight wondering what the hell I mean by that "I wanna see the view," I stand moving away "you coming?"

"What do you mean by 'my side of the story'?" He questions and I shrug.

"You coming or not?"

"Sit down." His eyebrows frown giving me the lost confused look yet, I take my seat again trying with all my might to not smile "Tell me what you know."

"I only know what Malic told me," I sigh "I just wanted clarification. But I get it, it's not something you want to talk about." I shrug watching my lie sink in, I also see he's trying to put the pieces together and try back my lie up with a little facts, "The dinner party."

"It just came up as a conversation starter, kinda, and then he told me that you're alpha and him had a really heated argument and things just escalated." I shrug.

"He said things just escalated?" He mocks.

"Yeah," I mean it makes sense right? If people hate each other it's gotta start with a small thing like an argument. Plus I don't know his alpha's name so if he asks I'm fucked.

"Well things didn't just 'escalate'" he uses bunny ears form "escalate".

"Bella?" I but it.

"The blonde? She's the alpha's favourite."

"Oh, you mean his bitch?"

"But it wasn't just her, they fought about financial problem that quickly escalated to pack problems and that's when the threats came in. It was a mess. I'm sure he told you that."

"No, he insisted it was to long to tell. So he kinda skipped that part." I try make him elaborate.

"Well it is long." No shit Tomas! We got all day. "It was just a bunch of threats going back and forth but it wasn't until Clive threaten Malic's Luna, that he didn't even know back then, that Malic started putting his threats into action."

Tomas pauses. I kinda just sit there wanting him to carry one but also not wanting to pry too much.

"It all started with an argument as you said and then it went sideways the second Clive started mentioning Malic's Luna, he was throwing inappropriate slurs about her and even threatened her name with rape and violence."
