Chapter 355-It Was Just Her Pheromones.
Maximus:
"No!" I had been running around the mountains since forever. My nose was bleeding, and my eyes wouldn’t stop shedding tears.
"All she had to do was tell me I was mistaking her pheromones for the mate bond—" I let out a howl, sitting on my knees and feeling the agonizing pain of transition. But I didn’t want to transform. Norman was headed my way, so I had to stop the transition. He rushed over and knelt down before me, with Emmet coming into view.
"She freaking lied to me," I let out a cry, feeling like a miserable and helpless person—the feeling I never wanted to have.
I was a freaking powerful werewolf. Why the hell was I crying for a woman? But it wasn’t just any random woman. It was Helanie.
"Hey, it’s okay. It happens. Breakups—" Before Norman could start lecturing me, I turned my attention to Emmet.
"Gave her a pendant to ask for help whenever she needs it, huh? What about your own brothers?" I wasn’t asking Emmet not to take care of her.
I was glad he was there to give her a ride because I did want her to get home safely.
But since we were on the subject of betrayal, I couldn’t help but point it out to Emmet that all these years he had been distant from us had left us with broken hearts.
"I came here for you too," Emmet knelt down, trying to caress my cheek, but I looked away, avoiding his touch.
"You only came here so you could defend her if I ended up saying anything wrong about her," I yelled, tears rolling down my face like a waterfall.
