Chapter 17

Nick's POV

“Did you hurt her? Simeon asked again, his eyes searching me thoroughly as if he was seeing me for the first time, or maybe to him I just turned into an alien species or something.

“I didn't mean to,” I said calmly as I sank my back against a tree with a heavy sigh. “She called me a bastard, my mate called me a bastard,” I said subconsciously. 

I didn't know why it felt like she called me something that no one has ever called me, been called a bastard was something I have grown used to, but hearing her call me bastard felt like an arrow has been pierced in my heart.

“Nick, I think you need help,” Simeon said after some moment of silence, and that made me look at him wondering why he would say that I needed help. I can't remember telling him I was sick or anything, if anybody needed help at this moment it should be that witch, not me.

“how do you mean?” I asked looking at him to know where this our conversation was headed.
