Chapter 29–Out–2
–LIA’S POV–
“I’ve already told him that,” I replied.

“And he cried after. He tried to hide it, he tried to pretend that he was just mad, but I know for sure that he cried at night in his bedroom. His pillow was wet in the morning.”
“What were you doing with his pillow?” I raised a brow. “Is your mate okay with that?”
“He is. He sent me up there to check on him. Zane was taking too long to come down.”
“And? You found him crying?”
“No,” she frowned, shaking her head. “He was in the washroom then. But his pillow was wet.”
“Sad. I’ll go console him in class if you’d excuse me.” I tried to walk away, but she moved with me, not letting me go.
“He’s not at school today,” she said. “That is why I’m here to talk to you.”
Now I paused. “What happened? Is he… okay?”
“Yes, yes. He’s fine. He’s busy with pack duties.”

“Pack duties?”
“Yeah.”

I stared at her. “Anyway, can I go? Have you said everything you wanted to?”
“No,” she frowned, “I haven’t even started.”
I sighed. “Please hurry, Sheila. I really don’t have all day. I’m gonna fail in every subject because of you guys.”
“You won’t fail,” she said confidently.
“How do you know?”
“Because you’re the smartest girl in class. You don’t even need to
attend those.”
“That’s what you think. I actually do need to attend those.
There’s a certain criteria I have to meet in every subject if I want to keep my scholarship. Of course, rich people like you wouldn’t get it.”
“You’re rich too now, you’re Zane Adams’s mate.”
“I’m not anything to him,” I stated. “Please understand that and explain it to him as well. Tell him that I’m seeing someone else.”

Sheila’s eyes widened. “Blake Walker?”
“No. Someone else. A human boy.”

“Lia, you can’t do that,” she whispered.
“Why not? The Goddess will feel bad?”
“No,” she laughed, “Zane will kill him.”
I fell silent. “My boyfriend?”
“Don’t call him that. Lia, if you care about this boy, you have to stop seeing him at once. Or you’re gonna find him dead at the end of a ditch somewhere. If Zane doesn’t kill him, I will.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Excuse me? You guys are throwing out death threats now? What will you do? Make a meal of him?”
“No, ew.

My mouth fell open. “You’re serious.”
“Of course I am. Zane is our Alpha, Lia. And you’re meant to be our Luna. You don’t get to have fun with human boys or any boys at all. Because your actions affect him directly, which in turn, affects my pack. I will protect the interests of my pack no matter what. If you were mated to someone else, it wouldn’t be my problem. But with Zane, whatever you do, affects each and

every one of us. You can’t just do whatever you want, sweetheart.”
“More threats,” I nodded. “And then these guys ask me why I want them to stay away from me.”
“Don’t tell Zane about this, he won’t be happy with me,” she said
with a frown.
“All the more reason to tell him.” I smiled.
Sheila sighed. “Okay, do whatever. I’ll bear the consequences. But Lia, please don’t break his heart. Zane is a good guy, he’s never hurt you. I can promise you that he’ll keep you happy. You have no idea how special mate bonds are.”
“Clearly not a lot, because I wouldn’t have two of them if they
were.”
“No human man will be able to love you the way Zane will.”
“Or Blake,” I added.
She rolled her eyes. “Blake is just an idiot. Do you know it was he who led that werewolf to school? He wanted to save you and reveal his true nature to you in a heroic way.”
My eyes widened, heart sinking to my stomach. “No. He wouldn’t risk my life like that.”

“That’s what you think.”
“But it was Zane who saved me, not Blake.”
Lucky Draw
“Because Zane didn’t wait for the perfect moment. He saw you in trouble and stepped in. Blake was planning something else—he stood there watching, ready to pounce at the right time. Zane was leaving when he saw you get into trouble, and immediately intervened. Be careful who you spend your time with, Lia. That’s all I’ll say to you.”
With that she walked away, her heels clicking against the floor, ponytail swaying behind her.
I stared at her retreating back, realising that I was in more danger than I expected.
Fishing out my phone, I left the Order another message, this time telling them my exact situation. If they could help me at all, I was jumping at the chance. I didn’t care if anyone got hurt. I wanted out.
