A somewhat silence ensues before Caroline smiles.
"Sorry Luna Abigail, I don't want to leave."
"There you have it." Her mate turns to me. "Sorry, she can't join you." He grins.
Anger bubbles inside me, but unfortunately, unless I'm looking for trouble, there is nothing I can do.
I frown, then I make to walk away.
"But..." He says as I turn to leave. "Perhaps I could convince her to join you," I turn my sights to him. "If you spend some time with us." He says, staring me down once more.
My skin crawls once more, I feel a prickle under my flesh the longer he stares at me.
I can't stay here, not with this pile of filth.
But...
I turn to Caroline, and suddenly, I find myself seeking her company.
Or, perhaps it's the other way around.
I steel my nerves, then I smile.
"The walk is pretty long, maybe a few minutes to prep myself."
"Perfect." He rises off his seat, tossing Caroline off his lap.
