Chapter 78

Zoe's POV

My heart skipped a beat.

Did she suspect something or did she come to know something? What was I supposed to say to that?

"I don't-" I started but she grew furious.

"Don't lie to me! I can see through your little plan. I won't let it work." She straightened up in pride, "Maybe Xavier played with you while I was gone. But I am here now. He doesn't need his toys anymore."

"It's not what you think-" She wouldn't let me speak.

"Oh, I don't think, I know." She stepped closer, trying to intimidate me, "You think I can't see the way you look at him? The way you touched him while blindfolded?"

"I didn't know who-" I tried and failed as she glared at me.

"I said, Don't Lie To Me!"

"Claire. There has been a misunderstanding." I raised my hands in surrender. I knew no one was going to come in between us if things started to get ugly. She may be able to defeat me physically, but I wasn't going to go down without a fight. I was a beta's daughter. But I knew, Xavier wouldn't want this.
