Helanie:
I stayed in the office for a minute before deciding to go after him. I was going to confront him and stop him from chasing Lucy. There was no way I would let him get fooled by her, whatever lies she had spun. But then I wondered– was it really that easy for anyone to fool Norman?
The moment I stepped out the door, I bumped into someone, and he grabbed my arms, pulling me back inside the office.
"Maximus, let me go," I grunted, shoving him off me.
"You're not going after him," he demanded, pointing at me.
I didn't understand what was going on with my mates, or if they were even mine anymore. My face started to falter and tears welled in my eyes, and Maximus's eyes widened.
"Wait, it's not what it looks like. We're playing a game," he blurted out quickly.
I covered my face with my hands. I was a fucking mess, emotional as hell, hormones wrecked, my mind breaking down with them.
"Yeah, I know. You're all playing with me," I muttered, hiccupping.
