423 Tricked By My Mate.
I hid the letter again, as I felt like he only wrote to give me hope. The numbers have dropped to 3, and he still hasn’t come. He was no magician; I am pretty sure he wrote nothing after 3.
“Are they coming with us?” I asked Lazlo when I reached the parking lot. I watched Christina and Maynard walk out of the mansion, hand in hand, and all set for dinner.
“They are not. They are headed for dinner. Maynard has to mend what you ruined for them,” Lazlo commented before rushing into the car and leaving me outside to take the other car. I now knew why he asked me to sit in a separate car. He just didn’t want me with him.
I wondered when he watched the video. Or who was the first one to bring up that video because, last time I checked, both Christina and Lazlo were nicer to me? Well, that last time was two years ago.
I rolled into the car alone, and soon our journey began. I wasn’t comfortable heading back to Corbin’s pack. What if I bump into him?
So many thoughts had been occupying my mind, and there seemed to be no end to my misery. I checked my account sneakily when the guard wasn’t peering into my phone to see if I had enough money to live off of for a few months before I settled into the life of a rogue.
Some thousand dollars!
Not bad. I don’t really remember how I saved this much because Lazlo never gave me any monthly allowance, and neither did I ask for it. I would just save whatever I could get from the little online projects I would submit.
It wasn’t too much, but it was also not too little. However, living the life of a rogue requires much more than that.
“It will be fine. It is better than nothing,” I whispered to myself, hyping myself up for this significant change in my life. Now that everybody has let me down, I don’t know how I can ever look them in the eye and call them my mates or friends.
From being desirable to being hated by everyone, I never thought my life would turn out this way. Lazlo got off the car and went inside the house without even waiting for me. It was going to be awkward to walk into the house alone. They would know we didn’t come together even if we left home together.
However, the awkwardness was only going to last for one more night, and then I would be away from all these judgy eyes.
Walking into the house and found everyone in the living room. Lazlo had already sat down with Ethen and Vinona while Elaine was in the kitchen with her new mate. She finally found her mate, an ex-warrior of the Shadow Winder pack. It sucks to watch him leave his pack and serve Corbin.
“I wanted you guys to meet Trever Floyd,” Vinona said excitedly when Elaine walked out of the kitchen with a dark- haired guy behind her.
“Oh! Enya is finally here,” she said, then got distracted by me, but that didn’t stop her from rolling her eyes. As we all know, when your own mate doesn’t respect you, nobody else does.
