Two Mates of The Late Blooming Luna? novel Chapter 11

“Sister Elena, are you hurt?” asked Alice in an anxious tone.

Luke tried to remove his hand but before he could remove it completely, another pair of hands held Elena’s arm and help her to stand on her feet gently. The helping hand was none other than her dear best friend, Liam. In response, Luke groaned and took a couple of steps back.

“Yeah. I just lost balance” She replied awkwardly.

“It’s okay, no need to be embarrassed. I lost balance all the time. I am the Queen of clumsiness” said Alice with a soft chuckle and continued after turning towards her brother,

“Good Job brother”

“Hmm” replied Luke with his signature emotionless face.

“I told you, you don’t need to help me with those stupid boxes. I can do it myself” said Liam worriedly while taking the box from her hand and keeping it on the floor.

Before Elena could reply, an always enraged crocodile had to share his unwanted opinion in the matter.

“It’s your fault Liam, why did you let her take it in the first place? You know she is still not that strong!” said Mateo angrily while pointing an accusing finger at him.

Elena had to jump in the middle of the conversation before everyone would start blaming Liam for nothing.

“It’s okay, Mateo. I insisted on taking it. Liam isn’t the one to blame” replied Elena in a sincere tone and Mateo nodded without questioning her further.

After Elena’s statement, nobody dared to blame Liam except for his own self!

“Nope, Mateo is right. It was my fault. You would have gotten hurt” said Liam looking down embarrassment.

“I said, it’s okay Liam. It wasn’t your fault” She replied while taking his hand as she knew how upset he will be.

Elena’s family has always kept her in a protection bubble and Liam is the first one to take the responsibility for it every time.

Youngsters from both the clans started gathering around her while they were having this blame game for a conversation.

Suddenly, a familiar voice caught Elena’s attention.

“Move your butt! I don’t care how aesthetically pleasing it looks. Move!” said Lily coming to the front while giving a final push to Mateo.

“Move away, Dinosaur. You don’t even have nice butts”

“What rubbish! I have a nice butt and girls just loves it. Don’t be jealous” said Mateo with an eye roll.

“Dream on” said Lily with a fake smile and continued,

“Now move. I need to reach my best friend” she said pushing Mateo again.

She held Elena’s hand as soon as she reached her.

“Hey, I heard that you got into an accident” said Lily in a worried tone.

“It wasn’t an accident to be precise, I just lost my balance and Luke saved me from falling. That’s it. I don’t know why everyone is turning this into a big issue” said Elena casually.

And again, that weird creature filtered her statement and only heard the thing she wanted to hear.

“Luke saved you from falling?” she asked with surprised expressions.

‘Does she have filter in her ears or what?’ thought Elena but before she could reply, Lily left her side and went towards Luke.

“Are you not quite a gentleman? Is that service available for everyone or you provide it only certain important people?” asked Lily with a wide grin on her face.

Luke looked at Elena and then at Lily again, his expressions never changed, his face was still as emotionless as ever. He must have gotten the idea that Elena shared the details with her best friend.

“What are you trying to say?” asked Luke in a cold tone.
