“I should go,” she whispers, her voice cracking.
“Wait. Why?” I demand, turning towards her. “What is going on?”
She bites her lip and looks worriedly between Grey and me.
The other guests have wandered down the stone path, and now it’s just Renee and me, and she’s looking like she’s about to cry.
“It’s not my story to tell,” she whispers. “I’m sorry, Harper.”
I stare at her, dumbfounded.
She pulls me into another hug, her mouth close to my ear. “And for the record,” she whispers, her voice catching, “we were best friends. And that letter broke my heart.”
What?
“What letter?” I ask.
But she holds my face in her hands, tears filling her eyes. “I’m glad you don’t remember.”
She lets go of me and walks away, shooting one last furious glance to Grey.
He watches her leave, eyes narrowed, then turns to me.
“What the fuck was that?” I hiss, walking towards him. “What aren’t you telling me?”
But he’s undeterred as he crosses his arms. “She’s not allowed here,” he says calmly.
“Renee? Why?”
Oh God, did something happen? Was she involved with him, somehow?
“Personal reasons. Harper, you have to trust me on this.”
“She said we were best friends!” I snap. “Was she lying?”
“Harper.Please.” His brow furrows and his lip form into a thin line. “I need you to trust me on this.”
I should fight him.
But he looks frightened, and it’s an expression I never thought I’d see cross his handsome features.
“Did you…were you…” I can’t even finish the sentence, the idea too horrifying. Jealously bubbles in me as I imagine Renee with any ofmyAlphas.
“Oh.No,” Grey visibly relaxes. “None of us.Ever. She just doesn’t tell the truth and causes drama.”
“So, she’s lying about us being best friends?”
Why would someone lie about that?
What about the letter she says I wrote her?
Grey shrugs. “It’s possible. We’ve had problems with her in the past. You can’t trust her, Harper.”
Trust.
I can trust Grey, Beau, and James.
They’ve protected me. They’ve kept me safe.
