NATHANS POV.

I don't know what the real deal is but at the moment I really am confused about what to do and say.

Lucas did reply to my texts earlier on and he had admitted the fact to me that he was having fun, but seeing Tara this way makes me feel so much confused, what had gone wrong? Perhaps he broke things off with her,

"I can't help you, Tara, not if you don't tell me what's wrong" I answer to her, 

She seems to have gotten the hint of my messages, she wipes off her tears and sniffs slowly before looking back at me.

"It's Lucas, I found out today, he's gay"

I feel my heart thud hard against my chest and miss a couple of beats on hearing Tara speak. I have for a long time wanted the thing out but hearing someone say it to my face makes me want to reverse time and keep her from finding out.

"And?" I ask, trying to keep it cool and maintain my stance.

"And? You don't see a problem with the fact that he lied to me? Did you know about this as well? I mean you both are besties, you'll know of it" she asks, drawing conclusions simultaneously.

"That …" I stop, not knowing what to say, first off I feel instantly relieved at the fact that she doesn't know I'm the other one he's dating,

She probably thinks it's someone else but then again why is she in my room rather than off to his parents?

"You think he's a monster because he's gay?" I ask withdrawing back to the edge of the bed, getting somehow spiteful of. Her.

"no, not that, I have friends who are gay, but they don't go telling lies in people's faces, and above all they don't book a restaurant and have sex casually!"

The last part of her words gets to me instantly, I wonder if I had not heard it right, who's fucking who now.

"what do you mean by that?" I ask, trying to maintain a cool stance, I feel sudden bitterness at the back of my throat and mind.

"Now you see, I've been to the restaurant with him a couple of times, but that had not been enough. He had been super friendly with a staff member, some guy and now it turns out that they both are having an affair.

He offered some help lift some stuff in the storage room, it was taking too long I had to check, and I saw them both, he was shoving his dick into each other,

He didn't even apologize, he kept staring at me until I left, I place a bet on the fact that they both went on with hair sex after I had left"

I watched with close attention as the words rolled off Tara's tongue not knowing how deep she pierced my heart with each statement she uttered. I had been a fool along, I should have known it was too good to be true.

My relationship with him had been a lie, how did I ever think it could work out, he is an extrovert and I am the complete opposite.

He must have gotten to the storage room before he saw my text. I feel so bitter right now.

Only if he had sex with Tara, maybe it would hurt less, but he had responded to my message saying he was having fun, with some other guy entirely, just how much of a mistake I had made.

"Why are you here? I mean he had hurt you obviously, and he seems to be perfect at lying, 

Why aren't you off to his parents already to tell them the whole truth?" I ask, still confused by that bit.

She hesitates for a while and blows off her nose before staring back at me 

"I still love him, I'm afraid if I tell his parents the truth then he would call it off between us" I stand before her, my eyes narrowed into a slit and my eyebrows corked.

Of all things I had expected her to say this was not one of them, how could she still be in love with a man who had hurt her so badly, 

Although I'm no different from him, I'm here acting like I had not been screwing over he boyfriend on this same bed she is seated on,

But then again I would have at least tried to reach out to her, maybe explain a bit.

Is this really the explanation for being in a toxic relationship? Getting hurt severally and still doing nothing about it to leave?.

"Could you please let me stay the night? I look like a mess. I could not go home looking this way, my friend's would throw a fit. '' she explains, I nod, knowing it won't speak well for me.

This is a packed house and news gets around really wild, I don't want anyone saying I had my friend's girl sleeping in my room.

"Sure, I'm guessing we could share the room" I.answer to her knowing my whole life would be in ruins the next morning anyways.

"mate!" I hear my wolf call out, I feel it's a sudden urge to take control as he did before wanting to force his way out.

The door is pushed open suddenly and Laura walks in with a bag of chips and two sodas in her hands.

We lock gaze for a brief moment before her eyes darted down to Tara who was busy taking off her jacket, her boots sprawled across the room as well as her purse laying over the floor carelessly, paired with me standing only in my briefs.

"Laura, no, it's not what you think!" I and we before she speaks knowing exactly what goes on her mind at the moment 

"What was I thinking, I really am a fool, I'm really sorry for meddling, you can go on with whatever," she says with pain written all over her face before running out the door in haste.
