Chapter 135

Chapter 135:

However, today was different. My sister’s expression went from cold to shock to hurt, then rage. “You!” she growled.

Before we knew it, she was pouncing on Nerion.

I shook my head at Mother, whose face was filled with so much guilt. I let her see how disappointed I was in her for bringing Maddy home.

It took the intervention of more hands to finally get the mad girl to stop. She was forcefully taken to her room, with Mother keeping her company.

“I’m going to TCH,” I said to Kael as I walked out of the house.

He easily caught up with me, Nerion following closely behind. “Why p>

I glared at him and glanced at my wound. “Can’t you see? I need to get treated p>

Now it was his turn to look at me like I was ridiculous. “Um… it is just a stab wound, Alpha. I can just get the pack doctor to p>

I stopped walking halfway to my car, closing my eyes and lifting my head toward the sky. “Don’t make me feel stupid, Kael. You think I didn’t know about the pack doctor before I suggested going to TCH?” I continued walking and he followed.

“Okay. I get that the blade was poisoned and you’re still hurting, but Tiana could easily handle this. You don’t need to go to TCH for this p>

I ignored him. Nerion was already by the car and opened the door before I went in. He and Kael took their positions in the front seat.

Kael turned to me with an annoying smirk—one I wanted to wipe off his face. “Don’t tell me you’re going to TCH to meet a certain doctor p>

I expected it from him. The asshole.

“Stop talking and take me to TCH.” I turned my attention to my phone.

“Well, Nerion is the one driving, not me,” he chuckled.

LYRIC

I spent my thirty-minute break with Jace in TCH’s restaurant. It’s actually something we’ve been doing for some time now since he was kicked out of Darkspire.

I missed having him close. I hated that everything happened the way it did, but I was also glad the kids got to retain their home and position.

“What do you mean you’re having dinner with Kael?” I asked with a confused expression, a slice of buttered bread in my hand. “I mean, since when do you and Kael actually hang out p>

“Kids aren’t meant to know everything, Lyric.” He rolled his eyes at me.

I grabbed my fork. “Call me a kid one more time and I’ll stab you with this p>

“Oh, help! The scaredy Lyric is finally being bad, and I’m going to be her first victim.” He faked a distressed voice. I couldn’t hold back my laughter.

“I was only scared when I was ugly.” I dropped the fork, holding the bread with both hands. “You should know I don’t take shit from anyone anymore p>

“Yeah, I know. Goes a long way to explain how you’re strong-hearted to be away from Darkspire for three days now p>
