Chapter 0022 Chapter 0022 Emilys pov Rumors were quickly spreading like wildfire in the school the second we got there . Maya interlocks our fingers and pries me away from Bryson Bryson looked at her annoyed . She sighed . I Were just heading to the bathroom Bryce . She uttered , lving me that look that told me I better agree . I gave Bryson a reassuring smile and left with Maya after he relaxed . Herg grip hardened the second we rounded the corner . I love you Em . You know I do . But I cant help you if you keep putting yourself in these kind of situations . She muttered through tight lips . 3 I furrowed my brows , drawing my hand out of her hold and rubbed the spot her fingers had tightly wound around . What are you talking about Maya ? I questioned . She stopped , turning to me with a sigh . You cant be that slow Em . Im talking about you and Bryce . Its clear that for some reason hes hell bent on feeding those rumors about you two . Bryson is an alpha , no one will disrespect him . But you on the other hand , youre practically human Em . She shook her head . The pack will chew you and spit you out . They will make sure that their future Luna feels safe and not threatened by you . They will not care if they have to hurt you in the process . Youre an omega , you hold no weight . Bryson cant fight every wolf in our pack to save you Em . I swallowed . I guess she was right somewhat . But that didnt mean her words didnt hurt . They stung . I blinked and her eyes drop to my wrists . She reaches out and rubs her fingers over the slight discoloring . I love you Em . And I dont want you to get hurt . Which is why I have to feed you the truth . Our pack must remain strong , we cant afford to have an omega come between our future leaders . I gnawed on my lips . I understood where she was coming from . She was just looking out for the better of the pack . Something I should be doing instead of hopelessly craving something I know I am not destined to have . She raised her brow . Im not telling you to not talk to Bryce , but maybe stop being so close ? Youve heard the rumors , the humans think youre fucking . The werewolves think you two are about to screw up a sacred bond . After telling me how much of a bad idea it was to provoke the pack and our alpha , Maya leaves me alone in the hallway . Chapter 0022 +25 BONUS I hugged myself , feeling the intense stares of everyone as I make my way to the bathroom . yway ! There were voices coming from inside the bathroom and by the scent of them , they were human . That girl who always hangs out with Bryson … are they together ? That Emily girl . A feminine voice utters . I stop , leaning against the wall as I listened . Another female voice laughed loudly . No I just think theyre fucking . I mean have you seen the guy though ? Why would he settle for someone like her ? Shes not even pretty He must be only using her as a quick fuck . The other snorted . Youre right . A guy like that is unlikely going to settle for someone as ugly as her . They were human , but their words stung deeper than the words Maya told me earlier . I turned around , tears welling in my eyes because I know they were kind of right . Bryson would never settle for someone like me . Not only because I was far from his league but I would never be his destined mate . I sniffle , lifting my hand to rub my eyes when I knocked into something hard . I stumbled but hands quickly reach out to hold me .. A fire courses in my body , so intense my eyes quickly snapped up . Im instantly connected with green swirls . My heart squeezed . He eyed me worriedly . Em whats wrong ? Are you hurt ? Did something happen ? Bryson asked in a rush , palming my face . I shifted out of his hold , my eyes dropping to his chest as I murmured softly . Were alone , we cant be seen together . My words may have stunned him because he pulled away like I had burned him . I took his shock as an escape route and swiftly run away from him . My heart squeezed in pain the farther I am away from him . I felt his piercing stare on my back as I disappear from his sight . A part of me wished hed stop me from walking away , but another part knew that it would be best if he didnt . Chapter 2523 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
