Putting up the facade of being happy for Noah and Serena had been a bit exhausting. I had hoped, at some point during the interactions, that I would see the golden threads form.
They’d made a connection so fast. I thought it would lead to a real mate bond, despite Noah being stubborn. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I knocked on the door to Issac and Estella’s office.
“Come in,” Estella said.
I entered, feeling a pit of nervousness in my stomach. What would they say about this situation?
Entering the office, I dipped my head toward Alpha Issac, whose expression was twisted into a light, concerned frown. He was pinching the bridge of his nose, deep in thought.
Estella gave me a smile that felt somewhat forced, causing me to swallow and feel even worse. The best thing to do right now was to rip the bandage off, so to speak.
