Chapter 92-With A Child
Helanie:
"Helanie—" As she continued, she shook me back to reality, forcing me to focus on her issue and stop thinking about myself for a moment.
"It’s a weird kind of feeling when your mate is—cheating on you," she bit her bottom lip, trying to hide the pain.
"Could it be a false alarm?" I asked, not wanting the two to separate. Ever since I had known them, I had only known them together. They made me believe that true love exists and is very real.
"It could be," she said, her tone hesitant. "Sometimes, if the other person is distressed, their wolf can feel slightly less attracted to their mate. Which, in my case, means Gavin must be feeling less attracted to me. And there could be many reasons for that, but what if—it’s because of the cheating part? It happens mostly because of cheating." She seemed so confident in her feelings.
"Did you tell him about it?" I asked. She nodded.
"And what did he say?" I inquired, noticing tears welling up in her eyes.
"He said—he’s less attracted to me because I keep making him feel guilty, and I doubt him all the time. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want us to go down that path, but how do I avoid this weird feeling in my chest?" she sobbed, as if she had been holding back her tears for years.
I instinctively went in for a hug, though I couldn’t help blaming Gavin in my heart. She was already so hurt, and instead of comforting her, he told her he was less attracted to her.
"It’s just that—his tone toward Jenny is so odd," she said, breaking the hug to hide her face in her hands.
"To be honest with you, I didn’t notice anything," I admitted. As soon as I said that, she raised her head to look at me.
