Chapter 27

• ALEXIA
• Nothing in the world could have prepared me for what happened next, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach as Killian hurriedly dropped me on my feet. I opened my mouth to apologize but something in his gaze stopped me, he looked repulsed, angry and…terrified? I didn’t have the time to pinpoint that because he already staggered away from me, putting as much distance between us. He was panting heavily, like he had been running a marathon and as if he couldn’t bear to be near me any minute longer, he broke into a half run in the opposite direction.
• Tears blurred my vision, rolling down my face when I bent down to pick up my backpack. Why am I getting emotional? Everyone has gotten rejected once or twice in their lifetime but that’s the thing, I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I didn’t ask him to carry me, he insisted! and with how repulsed he looked a while ago, he shouldn’t have if he hated touching me that much.
