A Gift from the Goddess

Chapter 27

Chapter Twenty-Seven “Aria!?” 

He had understandably been surprised to see me, so had the girl under him who was also missing her shirt

She was laying down on a school desk, legs wrapped around him, and I quickly averted my gaze before I saw anything else. “What the hell are you doing here?” he yelled. I could hear the sound of him zipping his pants back up and tugging a shirt on. “What am I doing here?” I repeated incredulously. “You mean why am I here after you made m e wait for over an hour?!” 

I turned back around to face him having assumed it was safe to do so now. “Oh shit, was that today?”

“Oh, really? You don’t recall even though I literally reminded you only a few hours ago?!” He rubbed at the back of his neck staring at the ground. At least he looked a little guilty. But it didn’t matter because I was furious. Nothing he was going to be able to say would make me calm down. It was like something inside me had been triggered and I could feel myself losing control.

“...I‘m sorry, Aria.” “You’re sorry?! You were so preoccupied screwing this girl that you couldn‘t even let me know you wanted to cancel?”

If I‘d still had my wolf, I would have ripped her throat out right then and there. It was probably her lucky day that I was still underage. “Kira,” Cai warned, making it clear that he didn‘t think what she’d said was appropriate. “I think it’s best that you leave if you truly don’t want to get involved.” “Alright, fine. Enjoy your kiddie after school playtime,” she said with a huff. I scrutinised her u p and down, watching as she fixed her skirt until, finally, she walked towards the door. I was glad to see her hightail it out of here, but the feeling lasted only a few seconds.

I wasn’t sure what made me angrier; the fact he’d ditched me for over an hour to get into a girl’s pants, or the fact he had been planning to leave so soon and hadn’t even brought it up until now. “Are you actually telling me right now that you were planning to go back home in a week, and you weren’t even going to tell me?!” “No!
