I followed after him.
“That’s it? No feedback?”
“You didn’t do anything feedback–worthy.”
I was stunned by his words and completely infuriated.
“Are you kidding me?” I nearly shouted. “I stayed here all night and remained awake.”
“That’s the bare minimum,” he murmured without looking at me. “You want me to praise you for not falling asleep at your post? You should have gotten proper rest so wouldn’t be an issue in the first place.”
I grabbed his arm, trying to stop him from walking away.
“I stayed awake because I was waiting for you!” It was half the truth; it was also because of the Nan situation, but he didn’t need to know that.
He whipped around to growl at me, and I quickly withdrew my hand as if he had just burned me.
“You shouldn’t let anyone, not even me, keep you from performing well,” he said through his teeth. “You not sleeping is on you, not me. Don’t put that on me.”
He turned and started to walk again; my heart cracked hearing his words.
I didn’t bother going back to the gym where most were gathering.
Instead, I started to head towards the suite. I just needed to get some sleep and clear my head. I’ve had enough bullshit for a little while.
As I reached the elevator, I ran into Sammy, who smiled pleasantly at me.
“Hey, how was watch duty?” She asked as I waited for the elevator doors to open.
“Exhausting,” I admitted. “I spent the whole night with Gavin.” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them, but I was too tired to take them back and rephrase what I meant, so I just left them in the air.
She can think whatever she wants. It didn’t really matter anymore, anyway.
She frowned and tilted her head at my words.
“Oh,” she breathed. “He was the Lycan on your watch last night?”
I nodded.
“Yeah, why?” I asked, noticing the strange look she was giving me.
She shrugged.
“I thought he was in his room all night,” she told me, but then she shook her head as if she was shaking away the thought.
“I guess I was wrong,” she murmured before she turned away and started to leave.
Ignoring the fact that the elevator door had just opened, I went after her, my brain unable to drop this conversation.
“What are you talking about? What made you think that?” asked her.

She paused and then looked up at me.

“I guess it doesn’t really matter if I tell you; he’s just your Alpha, right?” She said, giving me a slight laugh. “I saw a gorgeous blond going into his room last night. I thought he was in there… you know?”
My heart sank into the pit of my stomach at her words. A pretty blonde went into his hotel suite last night? It had to have been after I left his room because I didn’t smell the presence of another female.
Did he seriously meet up with another woman last night and then bring her back to his room?
Was that why he stood me up?
“Are you sure it was his room?” I asked; my stomach was in complete knots.
“Room 609, right?” She asked. “My boyfriend’s room is nearby, so I was walking by when I saw her. I’ve seen him leave that room before, so unless that’s her room…”
“No, that’s his,” I said a little too sharply.
I didn’t bother explaining how I knew that with such certainty, the look on her face showed that she understood.
“Maybe it’s nothing?” She said thoughtfully.
I nodded, hating that tears were threatening to spill out of my eyes.
“Thank you for telling me, Sammy. You’re a good friend,” I told her as I headed back to the elevator.
“Are you upset/?” She asked, calling after me.
I didn’t bother replying; I stepped into the elevator and allowed it to take me to my floor. The second the elevator shut, the tears slipped out of my eyes and down my cheeks.
