The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 128

C ter 0128 She was quiet for a moment as she took a sip of lier own coffee .

Theres nothing wrong with being friends .

I mean , lie has to understand that your fated mate left you for another woman only recently .

You are still heartbroken , and your wolf is healing , she told me .

You cant be too hard on yourself , and he cant be too hard on you .

I bit my lip and stared down at the brown liquid , my cheeks flushing at the memory .

Why do I feel like theres more to the story ? She suddenly asked , taking in my sour expression .

Because there is , I murmured , pecking up at her through my lashes .

He was so angry , Nan .

I was so scared , and I tried to get away .

Things were sald… and lines were crossed .

Lines were crossed ? She asked and I could feel her rising irritation .

Did he hurt you ?? I chewed the inside of my cheek , not able to say the words .

OH , my Goddess ! She nearly screamed .

He did , didnt he ?! Not so loud , Nan ! I pleaded , grabbing her arm to settle her down .

I dont want this to get out .

Im going to fucking kill that asshole ! She hissed and was seconds away from standing up , but I pulled her back down , not wanting her to make any stupid decisions .

Gavin is already dealing with it … She froze and stared at me with wide eyes .

Gavin ? Gavin Landry ? She asked .

I nodded .

He saw me walking last night and he pulled over to give me a ride … I told her .

It was half the truth b I wasnt going to tell her the entire story .

He figured out what happened , and he promised me that Walter wont hurt me again .

She raised her brows and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips .

Alpha Gavin Landry is protecting you ? She asked .

My cheeks blushed and I stared down at my hands .

Yes , I answered , not able to look her in the eyes .

Why do I feel like theres more to it- I have to get to my next class , I said quickly , jumping to my feet .

Thanks for the coffee .

I grabbed my bag and my coffee and hurried towards the doorway .

Okay , but we arent done with this conversation ! She shouted after me .
