Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: I never said so

Leilani.

My hand hovered over the screen of my phone while I contemplated calling Jarek to come pick me up or not, but upon remembering that we were in the middle of practically nowhere, coupled with the fact that it was already so late into the night— it’s about 2:13am now—, I quickly decided against it.

Moreover, only the heavens know how he would feel if he walks in here and finds me in the company of Zevran.

Only that same heavens know how Zevran would react if Jay comes here to pick me.

Just me.

Lol and my car was the only available one right now!

Shutting off these thoughts, I threw my phone into my purse and turned away, folding my arms across my chest as I began to scan our environment.

By the gods, I needed to bathe or pee or do both. I was hot— too hot— and also pressed. Moreover, there was a large body of water not so far off.

As if reading my thoughts, Zevran suddenly lifted his gaze from his phone. His eyes scanned my body from my head to my toes and then he asked; "Don’t you need to clean up?"

I didn’t hesitate. I rushed out. "Yes."

Again, silence.

Now, it wasn’t just me scanning the area. He was too. He walked off a few feet away from me to check how safe it was and when he returned, he simply walked over to the car, shut it off and after taking off his large coat and handing it to me, he said; "Follow me."

And maybe I was just stupid, but for the first three seconds, I didn’t respond. I didn’t move either but simply stood there, staring at him like he was an alien from an undiscovered planet.

He turned to me after realizing that I wasn’t following and snorted when he took in the confused look on my face. But I didn’t miss the small smile on his lips, or the way the corners of his eyes crinkled in that way it died whenever he was smiling.

Vague memories of how I used to sneak into the elite teen dorm back then at the pack to watch him and his brothers playing around all those years ago flashed across my mind...

—Or how my heart would flutter in my chest whenever any of them smiled like that...

Oh how stupidly in crush I used to be then.

Dismissing that memory, I grabbed his coat and tossed it towards him, my voice sharp— sharper than how I felt inside— as I snapped; "What’s this for?"

His eyes dropped to my hands then to my face, a bemused smile playing on his lips as he muttered; "It’s cold."

"And?"

"You’re about to take a bath, Leilani. It’s cold and your clothes may get wet in the process, so I am giving you my coat in case it gets too cold. Or is that a bad thing to do as well?" He asked, and at that, I gulped.

Goddess, I still wasn’t used to this side of him. I wasn’t used to being shown kindness, especially when it was coming from one of the three men the moon goddess had annoyingly paired with me.

My hands trembled slightly as I picked the coat back up and in a small voice, I whispered; "Lead the way."

Zevran smiled. "Of course, my lady."

My lady.

Arggggjjjjhhh! My lady!

My face heated up as I quietly followed him through the quiet beach, my heart pounding in fear and whatever it was as he led me to a secluded corner away from the lights and prying eyes.

When we arrived, he stopped, turned to me and pointed forward. "You should continue from here. I’ll just stand here and keep watch for you. Is that fine?"

I wanted to say no. I wanted to tell him how uncomfortable I would feel having him standing a few yards away from wherever I was bathing... But I didn’t.

I couldn’t even bring myself to speak to him so I nodded instead and walked away, glancing behind me a few times to check if he was still watching me.

He was.

I frowned. "Do you want to watch me bathe?!" I yelled irritatedly.

"No!" He shouted back, "...but if you want me to—"

"Shut up!" I snapped, interrupting him and hating the way my face burned up when he threw his head back and laughed.

"Now, turn around!" I yelled, ignoring how authoritative I sounded.

Zevran however, seemed not to care about my tone as he only flashed me a wicked grin then winked at me, the corners of his cheeks deepening to expose his dimples. He shrugged; "So authoritative but I like it."

"Now!"

"Yes, my lady!" He shouted, then raised his hands over his head in a gesture of surrender as he turned around; but I didn’t miss the words he mumbled under his breath.

He hissed; "Such a spitfire!"
