Chapter 268-My Seductress Cousin
Helanie:
"I can’t believe you did that. Don’t you know Rayden would rather kill you in the deep mountains than help you?" Lamar hissed, just as I had expected.
"You think it will be that easy for him to kill me? Lamar, I will be fine. Besides, you and Penn will be there, and so will Sage," I said, but it seemed to upset Lamar even more.
"Since when did you start trusting Penn? Don’t you remember the claims he made about wearing the jacket—" he could go on and on, so I had to interrupt.
"Lamar, if we started accusing everyone, we’d go nuts. As for Rayden, he already got his punishment. And yes, we’ll punish him more, but right now, I want to strengthen my powers and wake up my wolf," I argued, feeling bad because I was worried somebody might hear us.
"Huh? And Rayden will help you with it?" Lamar almost yelled before calming himself down. Then he added, "Ugh! You know, Jenny didn’t reject Rayden? I’m so confused why she didn’t. Our whole purpose for that humiliation was to hit him with a rejection so his pain would double," he complained, but I had already made it clear to Jenny that I wasn’t going to question her choices.
"I don’t know. It’s a mate thing. Put yourself in her shoes. She cheated too, so—" I shut up when Lamar narrowed his eyes at me.
"Helanie, you’re speaking like a different person right now. I can’t believe it was so easy for them to soften you," he sounded so disappointed in me, and that hurt.
I didn’t want our friendship to be ruined, but he needed to understand and trust me. "Lamar, I’m not softening toward them. I just believe it would be much better if Rayden just left me alone. I don’t want so many people coming after me," I almost whispered, avoiding making eye contact with Lamar since he kept glaring at me like I’d said something outrageous.
