The gun

Gabe

Never have I ever seen Odis look as shocked as she does now. Paul hasn’t seen Odis yet, he’s too busy looking at Leo in awe. Odis came to a stop and I watched as his face went from one of shock to one of confusion. Every fiber in my body told me to get up and leave but I couldn’t, not yet.

A warm hand touched the top of mine and I turned to find Ady’s hand squeezing my own. Her mate stood by her side and stared at me with an understanding look. I swallowed back the sour taste of their pity.

I waited, I waited for something as I tracked his every movement and slight expression changes. I watched as Odis’s eyes left Paul and slowly slid to me. I don’t know what I wanted to see but what stared back at me wasn’t it. It wasn’t enough.
