They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: 162- Little Menace.

Arabella:

Once Toby disappeared inside, I looked down at the broken flip-flops still hanging from my fingers and moved them to my other hand for no reason.

Then I looked at Lucien. “You did it?” I asked him softly, taking a few steps toward him. “You got him out?”

I was still finding it hard to believe. Lucien smiled but didn’t answer. Instead, he walked over to one of the trees and stopped beneath it, looking toward the palace through the branches.

I hesitated before following him. “Thank you.” Lucien looked over his shoulder, and then turned his attention ahead.

Why wasn’t he saying anything?

I shifted my weight from one bare foot to the other before glancing at the flip-flops in my hand. There was something else I needed to tell him, and delaying it wasn’t going to make it any easier.

I reached out and placed my hand on his arm. “I need to tell you something.” He turned toward me.

“Those dragons…” I paused, already regretting how ridiculous the next few words were going to sound. “I was the one who summoned them.”

His brows lifted slightly. “You did?”

“Yes, but not on purpose.” The words came out faster after that. “Toby and I were trying to figure out something. I didn’t even know I could summon anything. They just appeared, and then everything went wrong.”

Lucien stared at me for a moment before the corner of his mouth lifted. That was not the reaction I had expected.

A light breeze blew a few strands of hair across my face. He reached out and brushed them away before murmuring, “I had a feeling that you had something to do with it.”

I blinked. “What? How could you possibly know that?”

“Arabella.” He gave me a knowing look. “You’re terrible at pretending you know nothing when you actually know something.”

I stared at him, offended. “I am sorry… I don’t think I …”

“You are.” His smile widened slightly. “And strange things have been happening around you for a long time. Even three years ago, there were things I experienced in your presence, and none of us could explain them.”

I lowered my broken flip-flops to my side. “So, you knew…”

He gave a small shrug. “After everything that has happened since you came back, I knew there was more going on with you than you were telling me.”

“And you just kept quiet?”

“I wasn’t sure.” His expression softened. “Though Lilith warned me a long time back.”

I lowered my eyes, suddenly wondering how much more I should tell him.

I hadn’t told anyone about my wolf yet. Toby and Maya had already been pulled into enough trouble because of everything happening around me. Telling them another secret would only give them one more thing to worry about… but Lucien needed to know.

“There’s something else.”
