Chapter 89: The Other Man

*Zariah*

I need to get away from Micah. It’s too soon for me to try and talk to him, and after the strange conversation I had with Judith, who can apparently be whoever and wherever she wants to be, like some kind of a secret agent for the Moon Goddess, I am in no state to speak to Micah about our status as mates. Instead, while he was asking me to talk to him, I was sending a mind-link message to James. Thankfully, he is still awake and in his office. I rush toward him, feeling the weight of Micah’s eyes on my back as I go. I know he still thinks there might be something going on between James and me, which is ridiculous since James isn’t interested in romance with anyone. Even if he was, I have too much going on to even contemplate dating right now. 

Even with my mate.

My Alpha.

“Shit,” I mumble, a little louder than intended, as I walk through the door. James raises an eyebrow from behind his desk. “Yeah, I kinda feel the same way,” he tells me.
