My eyes widened, as if a magnitude ten earthquake had struck within them.“SUMMER GRANT, YOU CRAZY OMEGA!!” my
wolf roared.
What was even more disorienting was that Xander was actually thinking it over. He leaned back, arms crossed, his brow furrowed, as if he were negotiating a major deal. After careful consideration, he concluded, “Mm, it’s not impossible.”
My wolf silently roared at him again, “WHAT “MM“?
Summer, having blurted out those words in a moment of impulse, heard Xander’s response and looked at me, who was about to faint. She felt like she’d inadvertently opened Pandora’s Box.
“Haha, right?” She forced a laugh. Let’s end this topic.
But Pandora’s Box isn’t so easily closed. Xander added, “While it’s feasible, she’s timid; I doubt she’d dare.” He glanced at me casually.
This time, I didn’t dare boast about my bravery. Besides playing dead, I had no other choice.
The atmosphere was bizarre. Summer’s gaze darted between Xander and me three times. Her werewolf intuition sensed something unusual.
She leaned on the table, inching closer to Xander.“So… all it takes is courage?”
Xander didn’t answer, his gaze light as he looked at her.
“I’m quite brave,” Summer leaned in further, showing him the bracelet on her wrist. “To be honest, my main job is a lawyer, but my
side hustle is exorcism!”
“When I was a child, I was frail and sickly. A fortune teller said I wouldn’t live past seveneen. My grandmother was a well–known shaman, and to keep me alive, she taught me her skills.”
Xander:… He let out a cold laugh and left.
Summer watched him go, then said to me through the bond: Let’s get out of here.”
I quickly got up. After taking a few steps, we remembered the dumplings and hurried back. Outside, we said goodbye to Liam and hurried away without stopping.
Back downstairs, I “beat up” Summer.
Summer begged for mercy. “I was just being impulsive! I never thought he’d actually agree… Or maybe you should consider it. Be
bolder.”
I said huffily, “Let me catch a ghost to build up my courage first.” Remembering my nonsense upstairs that left Xander speechless, I wanted to laugh. “How do you catch a ghost? High Priestess Summer, teach me.”
Summer took off her bracelet and solemnly put it on my wrist. “You are now my senior disciple. Call me Master.”
…“What’s it like having a cool, badass, and crazy best friend?*
I ignored her and started packing my luggage. I threw my clothes into the washing machine, took a shower, and collapsed into my soft, fragrant bed.
I lay down, closing my eyes. Summer stayed over tonight, and while she was scrolling through her phone, seeing me lying on the pillow, she leaned in and whispered, “Sophy, Jason is going to bond with Tanner. Don’t you feel… any negative emotions? He was
your ex–partner, after all.”
Hearts aren’t made of wood. Even if you’ve separated, can you really become emotionless like a robot?
