Chapter 127

Cynthia must be cursing herself for opening her mouth and trying to show off a few seconds ago.Drusilla had always been tolerant of her and patient, so I did not know why she was acting like this.

However, Drusilla was the least of my worries. Callahan’s gaze rested on me, demanding more explanation about what his best friend had just blurted a few moments ago.

“Uh…I told you it was just a misunderstanding.” Cynthia tried to quickly grab her purse and leave, but Callahan raised his voice again.

“I dont remember asking you to leave.” His cold voice reached Cynthia, who played with the strap of her dress, not knowing what to do.

“Now, Ms. Zenovia Archer, would you please be kind enough to elaborate on what my best friend said just now?”

I looked at Cynthia, who was staring daggers at me, but he spoke to me again.

“Look at me!!”

I almost jumped out of my skin, but did as he asked.

“Did anybody threaten you under my roof?”

He asked, and I pushed my hair behind my ears.

“Uh, well, Cynthia has been bullying me for a long time.” I said and took a pause, but Callahan only looked at me as if he wanted to hear more.

“How?”

“Um, she kept on threatening me that she was going to be the Luna and I was, at the most, your breeder, so I should not…have any romantic thoughts about you.”

A muscle in his jaw twitched, and I did not like the way his expressions worsened.

“And?”

“And…uh…and she and her friends bullied me at the ball as well. They hit me a few times and warned me to stay away from you.”

Callahan grabbed the fork lying next to his dish and was twirling it in his hands.

“They hit you? Knowing that you are my pack member, and that you are under my protection?”.

Cynthia began to sweat, and I saw the way her breathing grew ragged.
