Chapter 44 Wary

• More tears threaten to fall, but I don’t feel like crying in front of this Alpha. I don’t know why I said Dylan was all I had. My truth had changed in the last few days and it was hard remembering. Dylan wasn’t all I had. I had Levi and I had Liz. I had friends that cared about me. I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t okay, but I knew I would be. When you’re in the middle of the storm, it’s hard to see through it. If I could just get through it, I had sunnier days ahead of me.
• “I’m happy to hear you have friends… I’m assuming the man you spent the night with… is one of those friends?” Andrius asked.
• He sat by my side and the guilt that stabbed at me as I thought of Levi had me mentally slapping myself. Instantly sobering me up. I stood to my feet and folded my hands in front of my chest. I don’t hear him get up, but I feel him behind me. He’s close, but isn’t touching me. I can feel his body heat radiating against my skin.
