CHAPTER 21.0: Someone Knows?

“You hadn’t shown up to your first class yet, so my father sent me to figure out where you were. Just letme in Lexus!” Cade yelled.

Lexus held the door, so it was only cracked open while Cade pushed against it. “I’m not decent Cade, Ioverslept. I’ll get ready and just show up late.” He looked at me. He wasn’t wrong about being indecent,he only had his boxers on.

I sat up and looked around panicking. I didn’t have any clothes on, and I looked a mess. It was obviousI slept here. I jumped out of bed and started putting my clothes on. “I just want to talk and to knowwhere my sister is.” He whispered. “She wasn’t in her room and you were with her last. I’m just a littleworried.” He sighed.

“I’m sure she’s fine Cade, just come back in fifteen minutes.” Lexus said and lightened his grip on thedoor since they had calmed down. Or he thought they did because Cade pushed his way inside.

His eyes widened when he saw me buckling my pants. “What the-“ he turned to Lexus. “No.”

Lexus closed and locked the door. “Are you happy now? Just let us explain.”

Cade scoffed. “How could either of you explain?” You can’t justify this.” I felt so embarrassed.

“We’re chosen mates, by the moon goddess.” Lexus admitted. “She’s my other half, it’s gonna be hardfor you to understand because you’re whole. You understand my relationship with Sadia, and you’vebeen taught about mates. Doesn’t any of that make sense?”

Cade sat down on the couch. “This is a lot to process. I broke up with Vella last night, so I already haveenough on my mind. Even if you’re telling the truth about being mates this still isn’t okay.”

“We’re rejecting each other next week under the full moon.” I thought that piece of information wouldhelp. “Then we’ll be done with this.”

“You broke up with Vella? Why?” Lexus asked.

Cade glared at him. “That isn’t the point right now, the point is what you two are doing is wrong andunprofessional. You became the exact kind of person Arma thought you were.” He stood up. “You’re solucky that I can’t just tell you to stay away from my sister.” He really did see me as his actual sister. Helooked at me. “You should get ready in your own room.”

I cleared my throat. “Yeah, of course.” I followed him out of the room. “Thanks for caring.” I mumbled.

Cade sighed. “Maybe you wouldn’t have fell into this if I just spent more time with you to begin with. Areyou and Lexus really mates?”

I blushed. Yeah… it’s a pretty obvious feeling. Are you going to say anything?”

“No, that would make things worse. I’m only going to make sure you two go through with the rejection.And I’ll be there for you through it since I’m sure it’ll hurt physically and emotionally.”

Knowing I’d have someone there who cared about me made me feel a little more peace. “You’re agood brother.”

He walked me to my room then I took a shower. I tried to take a quick shower since I was late for class,but I was also trying to scrub Lexus’ scent off me. When I got out, I got dressed then left my room tosee Cade was waiting outside for me. “What class are you late for?”

“History but I have to make sure Lexus gets to class first.” I started walking.

“You don’t, he’s already late, I’m taking you straight to your class,” Cade insisted.

I didn’t protest, I let him walk me instead. During class I would close my eyes to see Lexus in his classwith my third eye. The professor just thought I was dosing off because I didn’t get much sleep. Whenthe class was over, he was waiting for me outside the room. “Really? Don’t you have work?”

“Yes, I was working while you were in class. I’m just taking a break to make sure you get to your nextclass with little distraction.” He was being protective.

I answered my phone when it rang. “Hey Calvin.”

“Hey, I’ve been trying to reach you, but I guess I wasn’t calling at the best times. I wanted to apologizefor leaving you at the festival yesterday. I wanted to make it up to you.” Calvin was sweet but maybe Ishould wait until I was unlinked to Lexus before trying to be with anyone. “Our alpha and luna gotinvited to the full moon ball. They also got six extra invitations to distribute among the pack members. Igot an invite which comes with a plus one so do you want to be my plus one?” I didn’t get an invite somaybe this was my only chance of going. I might have not been able to go at all because I needed toget unlinked under the full moon.

“Can I think about it and give you my answer later?” I wasn’t confident in any choice I’d make in themoment.

“Yeah, that’s fine, I’ll talk to you later.” He hung up.

“You shouldn’t bother seeing Calvin again,” Cade suggested.

I stopped when we got to Lexus class. “Why not?”

Cade scoffed. “No offense but you already don’t have the best track record at picking guys. You lastchose someone you work for who is engaged.” He whispered the last part.

“I know but I didn’t exactly choose him, the moon goddess did.” I whispered back.

We stopped talking and looked at the door as it opened, and Lexus stepped out. “What are you doinghere Cade? Didn’t we sort this out this morning?”

I tried to walk beside Lexus but Cade stayed between us. “Not really Lexus, you two need to stop whatyou’re doing now not on Monday.”

“I’m gonna be honest with you Cade, that’s probably not going to happen. Let me enjoy my time havinga mate and I’ll worry about the rest after.” Lexus made me sound like an experience for him. “It’s notlike this is going to lead to anything, let us have our last week.”

Cade was frustrated. “Fine but I don’t want to hear about it.”

“So, you’re going to help continue to keep Sadia at a distance for me?” Lexus wanted Cade to be ourlook out in a way. “Just for this last week. It’d be a shame if she found out so close to the full moon.”

Cade sighed. “That’s what I’ve been doing? Fine but I’m not going to enjoy it. Sadia still doesn’tdeserve this.” I felt the same way, but I couldn’t help myself.
