Chapter 80 Kai

• Sitting sharing breakfast looking at the ugly face of Landon was far from ideal. And having to listen to the mundane and forced, polite conversation he was creating was almost torture. But he was helping me today, so I had to be civil. Even if the fucker was still hellbent on breaking my sister’s heart. Right now, he was the only way I could get to talk to my fated mate, so I would allow him to assist me with that, and deal with his sorry ass once I had fixed my mess. So, I did my best to zone out from his wittering, and almost look through him, focusing my thoughts on my plans for the day... and of course, my mate.
• Thankfully, Bella had been more than willing to agree to meet Landon, which instantly made me suspicious. Just how close were they? Had something gone on between them? Would he sink that low as to try to steal another Alpha’s planned mate? Or was that just my over-suspicious mind working overtime because I had barely slept and was terrified of what my fated mate was going to make of me?
• Once I had endured as much as I could take of Landon, and drunk enough coffee to make me as close to functionable as I was going to be today, I had returned to Landon’s room. Briefly needing to go back there, to sort myself out, fix my hair and make myself look presentable, before dropping his keys back with him in the dining hall, and leaving to meet the cab I had called. I was so desperate to make a good impression upon my fated mate, because the first impression last night had not exactly gone well.
