I followed after him.
“That’s it? No feedback?”
“You didn’t do anything feedback-worthy.”
I was stunned by his words and completely infuriated.
“Are you kidding me?” I nearly shouted. “I stayed here all night and remained awake.”
“That’s the bare minimum,” he murmured without looking at me. “You want me to praise you for not falling asleep at your post? You should have gotten proper rest so it wouldn’t be an issue in the first place.”
I grabbed his arm, trying to stop him from walking away.
“I stayed awake because I was waiting for you!” It was half the truth; it was also because of the Nan situation, but he didn’t need to know that.
He whipped around to growl at me, and I quickly withdrew my hand as if he had just burned me.
“You shouldn’t let anyone, not even me, keep you from performing well,” he said through his teeth. “You not sleeping is on you, not me. Don’t put that on me.”
He turned and started to walk again; my heart cracked hearing his words.
I didn’t bother going back to the gym where most were gathering.
Instead, I started to head towards the suite. I just needed to get some sleep and clear my head. I’ve had enough bullshit for a little while.
As I reached the elevator, I ran into Sammy, who smiled pleasantly at me.
“Hey, how was watch duty?” She asked as I waited for the elevator doors to open.
“Exhausting,” I admitted. “I spent the whole night with Gavin.” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them, but I was too tired to take them back and rephrase what I meant, so I just left them in the air.
She can think whatever she wants. It didn’t really matter anymore, anyway.
She frowned and tilted her head at my words.
“Oh,” she breathed. “He was the Lycan on your watch last night?”
I nodded.
