Chapter 28. A Hard Truth
SKYLA.
A game?
He’s so close, his thundering heart and those brilliant blue eyes are too much. All I can see is him, his scent wreaking havoc with my mind and I suddenly feel as if there is no air and I’m drowning in his rage.
I let out a shaky breath, trying to control my emotions. I exhale, and I’m surprised to see the puff of visible air.
It’s so cold in here? Is a window open?
“He told you.” I state quietly, looking into his eyes.
I don’t even know how to feel about that…
Why would Aleric do that?
He almost smirks, his cold eyes boring into mine.
“Of course he did,” he scoffs. “Why not gloat right?”
“That wasn’t-”
“Whatever it was. The thing is, Skyla… don’t mess me about. You thought since you couldn’t have one brother, why not just have the other? Correct?”
I stay quiet, his words hitting a nerve. 2
He sees right through me.
“You know what? You and Aleric seem to be
the perfect match… carry on, I wish you both all the best, because this Arden is not going to be added to your list of fucks.” 5
He pushes away from the wall, turning away from me as if he’s too disgusted to even look at me and, for the first time in my life, I’m regretting sleeping with someone…
“Move.” His command emanates through me and although it does nothing to bend me to his will, the power in it stuns me. I can feel it in the air and my heart thunders.
He isn’t normal…
I try to think of a sassy comeback but I have
fuck-all to say.
I slowly step aside, and he doesn’t even
bother looking at me as he pulls the door open, but then he pauses.
“Tell your father that I thank him for the dinner invitation, but something has come up, and I needed to leave.”
He doesn’t wait for a reply and swiftly exits.
I close my eyes, slumping back against the door as it thuds shut and sigh heavily.
That went downhill fast…
Taking a few deep breaths, I shiver at how
cold I feel.
I open my eyes, unsure how to process my emotions. His words stung, but I don’t care. I know deep down that I did what I did to prove a point. What did I think, that he wouldn’t find out? Yeah, that was a stupid
assumption to make.
I feel stupid, angry, irritated, and hurt. 2
But fuck, it’s my own doing.
I scan the bathroom, frowning when my attention falls on the large mirrors that line
the wall behind the sink basins.
Frost? I push away from the door and slowly
walk over to them, looking at the corner of the glass that meets the ceiling.
There’s ice…
I tilt my head, frowning. Earlier I had felt as if the temperature had dropped in here. I’m certain when I came in here it wasn’t this
cold.
What is going on?
I’m about to reach for my phone when I realise it’s not with me. I glance at the door before I quickly climb onto the marble
counter and reach for the corner of the glass.
Ice cold.
It is not even just steam, it was solid ice coating the corner of the mirror. The glass around the ice was frosty and had partially
steamed up.
