Chapter 464

  I stumble against him with the sudden halt, going over my ankle and yelping, grabbing onto him to stop myself going fully down as his arms wrap around me securely to hold me. Arrick pulls me up, straightening me against him and automatically scoops down to slide my shoes off in a swift action, sliding them off quickly, so I stand barefoot on the crisp dry grass, giving my poor ankles relief. He drops them beside us and straightens up to look me in the eye, still with the same accusatory glare and I my temper snaps.

  I shove him off as soon as I regain my balance and glare hatefully at him. So many emotions hitting me, rage being at the forefront.

  “I didn’t tell you I was with him in that way, not once! Don’t you dare hit me with this shit!” I spit angrily; annoyed that he has the nerve to even yell accusations at me, after everything. That he felt he had a right to drag me here for this, away from my family and friends so he could have some moral high ground of a go at me.
