Chapter 17- bonds and birthdays–1
I was drained, I tried as much as possible to stay clear from trouble, by that I meant staying away from Kaden, Camille and the Alpha.
I was in my room all day, I couldn’t get myself to go out.
Knock knock
I didn’t answer at first. It could just be one of the kids who lived in the building trying to pull a prank on me.
“Luc, I know you’re in there, open up!” It was Sam. I dragged myself from the floor, opening the door.
“What!” I snapped as I opened the door.
“How… how are you?” she asked, forcing a smile. I looked at her, dead panned. I knew her, she was the type of person who did this sort of thing when something was bothering her
“what do you want” I said, crossing my hand over my chest.
“Look, I know we are not on the best terms right now, but. I just wanted someone to talk to, plus I miss my best friend” I looked at her, like really looked at her before I sighed
“Fine, come in.” She took a step in, before quickly retracting her Steps.
“What now?” I rolled my eyes. Looking at her. I bet she was about to do something dramatic this time.
“I’m sorry, it just” She seemed to have re–thought what she was going to say because she shook her head. “Never mind, It might just be me”
“Samantha, just say it”
“look. I’m just in a bad place right now, that may be it. But.. something about you and this room, feels… different”
After what happened or didn’t happen last night, I was not going to take anything as no big deal anymore.

“Different how?” I looked at her, waiting for her to say it.
She shook her head, coming closer to me as if to confirm.
“Lucia, you don’t smell normal” I laughed it off.
“Oh, that? It’s the new perfume I am using” I lied easily. She didn’t drop it though, she
shook her head sniffing me some more.
“no, this isn’t it. Lucia, you don’t smell like the pack anymore. You don’t smell like a
wolf.” I looked at her in horror there were two possible meanings to what she was saying. Either my wolf was dead or what Kaden was suspecting me of was true.
“oh, must be the new drugs they’ve been giving me, must be messing with my scent.
Hmm.. she nodded, not thinking anymore of the matter. I was scared that she was going to meet Kaden and tell him, that was just going to be bad for me, because he already suspected me. Anymore and who knew what he was going to do to me.
I looked at her, wanting to beg her to not tell Kaden. But that was going to give her ideas if she wasn’t already thinking it, so I couldn’t risk it.
“Anyways, I know it’s kind of late, but I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday” she
smiled handing me the gift she had gotten me.
“Thank you.” I smiled. I had even forgotten my birthday.
I smiled. I planned that by now I was going to be by my mate. I never envisaged that my mate was going to be in the arms of another woman because I had a weak wolf and had
no status.
“thank you Sam. It means a lot.”
“Hey,‘ she bumped my shoulder. “I know it’s not what we planned or how we planned it, but I am happy we got to spend it side by side.” She smiled. It felt like old times again, times when she was my best friend and I didn’t have to question her loyalty, or have to
walk around egg shells around her since one wrong move and she was going to ruin me by
opening her mouth to Kaden.
“Yeah,” I replied weakly.

“Want to see if ma’am Marie baked you a cake?” I shook my head no.
“not right now, I just.. I have a lot going on and I want some time to myself” I saw the look of hurt that crossed her face but I couldn’t seem to care at the moment.
Once upon a time, she was the only person I would want to tell my problems to, now I couldn’t even look at her without thinking she could possibly be mind linking Kaden right this moment telling him about what she noticed just now.

So let’s hope Sam experiences the same thing Lucia has been experiencing. Sometimes you have to walk in someone else’s shoes or let Karma visit
