20. Kate

I accidentally fell asleep on the roof. I guess looking at the stars soothed me. That and knowing there was no chance of running into anyone. Why did Beta Rhett believe in me and Dex not? How could he see through the lies so easily yet the man my wolf pines for doesn't care.

Anger bubbles away because one word from him could silence this whole thing. One announcement at a party was confirming I never asked him for help and my test scores are far from successful and my reputation could be restored. My anger does not last, it is not in my nature to harbour resentment.

Not when the only thing I can see is the dawning sun, rising over the olive groves and pink-flowered trees. I pull myself up to sit and hug my legs. The morning breeze is cool and refreshing, my hair whipping around pleasantly. I sigh and resolve to make this the best day I can.

/We look after ourselves. To rely on a man such as Alpha Dex would be our downfall, not the rumours/ Raya warned. I nodded in agreement. Conti
