Traitor

Adea

He ignores me and walks until he stands in front of Olivia. His eyes are wide with shock as he tries to make sense of what he just heard.

“What did you just say?” Gabe asked.

Olivia’s shock disappears and her eyes go back to the same dull look her eyes held since she’s been back.

“What did you hear?” She asks. “I’m assuming you heard it all,” she says after he doesn’t say anything.

She nods.

“I’m a traitor.”

He shakes his head.

“Yes,” she confirms. “I’ve been working with Shane.”

I scowl in disgust when her lips twitch and her eyes light up as she says his name. Gabe turns to me, seeming to remember that I’m still here.

I nod.

“It’s true Gabe,” I tell him. I wish I could keep the truth from him, take the pain for him but I know it’s his path, his mate, his life.

Gabe takes a step towards Olivia and I watch his hand reach out and gently touch her shoulder.
