Chapter 87: I thought you were wise...
Selene POV
My heart didn’t flutter from his nearness but his kindness.
Reid is the last person I expect to show warmth to me even if it was a tiny bit. Opting not to argue, I allowed him to carry me in his arms as we started towards the upper towns. As we walked, my mind was whirling with a thousand questions. How did Reid know I’d be there? It was no coincidence that he had suddenly stumbled into me.
What was this sudden love he was showing me? I couldn’t understand... from where I was in his arms, I studied his profile. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were void, almost blank and without emotion something I noticed was common here. I didn’t know if it was a Lycan thing but their coldness was unnerving and most times when Noah looked at me like that it would be difficult to know what he was thinking.
"H-How..." I trailed off swallowing hard as his gaze flicked to me for a second before he continued on the road "How did you find me?" I asked. "No one knew I was leaving the pack house and I know that Noah is swamped with work. So, how did you find me?" I nagged. "Wait!" my eyes widened in realization "Don’t tell me you were following me,".
"As if," he scoffed and slowed down next to a car that was parked. With one hand holding me as if I was a rag doll, he opened the passenger seat of the car and deposited me in, with a gentle carefulness that I didn’t know he possessed. Something was off... Something didn’t sit right.
I watched as he turned around the car and slipped into the driver’s seat. I studied him again, trying to look for signs that he wasn’t someone disguised as Reid. I wanted to ask him questions but he could have easily done his research if he was coming for a mission like this, so it’ll be easy.
"Can I see your hand?" I asked stretching my hand towards him. He turned to me, arching a brow in my direction.
"Whatever for?" He asked.
