Chapter 151
Betrayed by Blood
The morning started off quietly. Avery sat with Millie and Selena in the servant quarters. Even though she had been moved to Cain’s quarters, she just couldn’t stop coming. Her friends were here, after all.
"So, how is it?" Millie asked.
Avery arched an eyebrow, her lips pressed into a thin line as she folded the linen carefully. "How’s what?"
"Living in the same quarters as Alpha Cain. How is it?"
Avery looked away, not knowing what to say. How was living in the same quarters as Cain? It was nerve-wracking actually and weirdly exciting, but Avery couldn’t admit that, so she gave a tight-lipped smile. "It’s okay," she mumbled.
She glanced at Selena, seeing her with a handful of sheets. "Selena, hand me that one," Avery said, reaching for another sheet.
Selena didn’t move. She was staring into space, lost in thought. Avery frowned, reaching out to touch her arm. "Selena?"
Selena flinched so hard that the linen slipped from her grasp. Her sharp movement startled both Avery and Millie, making them exchange a glance.
"Are you okay?" Avery asked, leaning into Selena’s space. Her eyebrows furrowed in concern.
Selena blinked rapidly before forcing a weak smile. "Yeah, I’m fine. Just—" she exhaled, pressing her fingers against her temples, "just been feeling weird lately."
