Chapter 0084
“1. 1…” I have just begun to stutter as our attention gets caught by a strange rattling sound.
We look up simultaneously to see the bucket reach the border of the scaffold and empty itself over us.
1 only have enough time to bury myself against his chest and he moves away in reflex but can’t prevent us from getting hit by the paint.
Fynn growls, making me look up at him with puppy dog eyes.
Again, my gloating gets stuck in my throat as I think about me being the reason for slowing his reaction to not even being able to dodge such an insignificant threat.
His arm is covered in paint, like the skirt of my maxi dress.
Well, fuck!
I feel his fingers sink into my skin as he seems to hold me tighter as if he fears that I could slip out of his hold.
Gulping, I hold his angry gaze, my fingers clasping his clothes,
It feels so safe in his arms, making me want to just cuddle against. his chest and ask him to carry me home.
But just as I’m about to open my mouth to say something, his fling reaches us with fast steps, asking if he was alright.
My skin crawls as he tears his eyes away from me just to answer her with a smile.
A fucking gorgeous, genuine smile.
“Where are your reflexes?” I shout accusingly as I get back to my
senses.

I sovit, pushing as out of his atas, “Ah, and now you care or what? 1st lost my balans, like I needed you to catch me.
The people standing around us look at me with worried expressions, and my throat closes painfully, making it hard to breathe.
Iusust be looking terribly pathetic as the paint drips from my
I bave to get out of here, I think to myself as bynn gets up from his crouched position.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? Look what you’ve done!” He widens his arms, making me look back at him.
“Oh, just go take a shower, and you will be alright again.” I snarl,
and his face falls.
Lifting my chin, 1 straighten my spine and walk away, losing my conceited expression as soon as I’ve passed the crowd.
“Thank you… Could you tell him, Drake?‘ Lask but don’t get a confirmation of him doing so back from him.
Hugging myself, I increase my pace,
I reach the river next to the construction site feeling totally and exhaustedly devastated.
Fighting back my tears, I slip out of my ballerinas and step into the water, not caring about the cold temperature of the stream.
I curse the fact that it can be so cold even if the weather is nice and warm, and clench my teeth as I dip my skirt into the water to free it from the paint.
My brain must be fully blocked as it made me jump into the river instead of just convincing me that even if someone were to see me, going home to change would have been the better option.
As the cold water temperature causes my skin to be covered in goosebumps, I sob while I start scrubbing the paint off my clothes.
I play with the thought of just immersing myself into the water fully to get rid of the sensation of Fynn’s touch still lingering on my skin.
The picture of him flirting with the beautiful she–wolf flashes back. up into my mind, making my heart flip painfully in my chest.
I don’t know how I deserved to have my life turn out like this. I thought that what happened with Rick has already been bad enough for an entire lifetime.
Wasn’t a second–chance mate supposed to make everything alright?
But with my current rejection pending over my head like a sword ready to strike, I’m starting to doubt having my Goddess on my side.
They should just get over it and stop playing cat and mouse with me. Also, if Fynn wants to fuck that she–wolf, he should just go on with it, reject me and take her like he wants to.
Get married and have many gorgeous babies.
I don’t fucking care.
Hitting the water with my fist, I realise that it doesn’t even work lying to myself anymore.
Oh, Goddess, what should I do?
