Chapter 0045 +25 BONUS She put her seatbelt on , and I did the same .
Then , she put the car in drive and drove off toward Gavins Villa .
Im sorry if my brother is too much , she said after a beat of silence .
Hes chased off every tutor hes ever had .
Im not sure whats wrong with that boy .
He seems great to me , I told her honestly .
I honestly think he just craves attention and will get it any way that he can .
With Gavin being a busy Lycan chairman and Alpha of his own pack , and you being … engaged … I think he feels a bit lonely .
I stumbled when I said the word engaged , it was weird talking to Irene about this , but she didnt seem to notice my hesitation .

I suppose I have been preoccupied with this wedding , she sighed .
I just love Ethan so much that spending any time away from him is upsetting to both me and my wolf .
I blanched at her words ; I definitely did not want to talk about this with her .
But then something she said caught my attention .
Your wolf ? I asked her .
She let out a small laugh .
Yeah ; dont get me wrong , we both know that Ethan is not our fated mate , but hes been so sweet and tentative towards us since the day we met that it doesnt even matter .
My wolf claimed him as ours and I would have to agree with her .
I felt sick to my stomach hearing her confession .
I stared at my hands , not sure what to say .
She seemed to have sensed this because she glanced at me as we stopped at a traffic light .
Have you ever been in love ? I was startled by her question and when I looked up at her , saw her watching me with a small frown on her lips and curiosity on her face .
I didnt want to lie to her , but couldnt tell her the whole truth either .
If I did , it would make this weird , hurt her , and it would ruin my chances at this job .
I thought so , 1 admitted .
But he didnt love me in the same way .
I could see a flash of sadness in her eyes .
The honk coming from the car behind us alerted Irene that the light was now green .
She pressed the gas , and we continued towards the Villa ; I could see it in the distance .
It was large and gorgeous .
We neared the pack borders , and the Silver Creserit pack guards didnt bother stopping us , recognizing Irenes signature car .
They bowed their heads at her and she gave them a polite smile as she drove past them and onto Gavins parklands .
Hes an idiot for not loving you , Irene told me after a bear of silence .
You seem like a great girl and any guy would be lucky to have you .
I didnt respond to her kind words ; I stared out the window and watched the buildings and trees pass by .
It didnt take long to reach the villa .
Irene parked the car and we boll got dut .
Thank you for the ride , Irene , I told her .
I wont keep you , though .
Im sure you have more wedding planning She nodded , looking thoughtful .
I have so much to do .
But Ethan has a meeting today , so Ive been left kind of alone, she said , giving me a sad smile .
But I know you are busy , so do your thing .
Maybe we can talk more later ? I nodded , not sure what more to say .
I turned and walked into the Villa .
Chapter 0045 +25 BONUS Good evening , Adam said as I passed him at the front entrance .
I gave him a look , which I knew wasnt very welcoming .
I thought Adam and I could be friends when I first started , but after that stunt , he pulled when he tried to get me fired , I wasnt sure if I could actually trust him or not .
We havent spoken since that incident ; Ive been making sure to keep a distance from him .
Is Matt around ? I asked him .
Hes out back , practicing his sparring , he explained .
Hes nervous about his combat class next week .
He has a test .
Matt mentioned the combat class to me briefly ; apparently , they are making him pair up with someone bigger than him and hes worried hes going to make a fool out of himself .
I met up with Matt outside and together , we practiced his sparring .
I taught him a few new moves that would help him with his test next week.
Within the hour , he was performing exceptionally .
We practiced with swords mostly and he handled the weapon professionally .
Try to de sword me , I told him .
Take it from my grip .
He did exactly what I asked and before I knew what was happening , he used the new moves I taught him to loosen the sword from my grip until it clattered to the ground .
He then had me exactly where he wanted me .
He swung the sword in my direction , careful not to cut my skin , however , he overshot his judgment , and the point of the sword snagged my blouse .
The tearing sound made him freeze .
