CHAPTER 10

ELODIE

I look down at the ground to make sure I’m not floating right now. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if I was. What happened between Crew and I in the theater feels like it changed everything for me. I don’t know if it was the same for him, which has me frowning.

I’m trying to focus on whatever Tilly is saying, but it’s difficult because I can feel Crew’s eyes on me from where he was stopped by a member of their community with a question. He had waved me forward toward the buffet with a promise in his eyes that he would catch up.

I didn’t have to be alone long because Tilly was there and hooking her arm into mine as she pulled me along. Thankfully, she didn’t ask any questions. I’m not sure how I would have answered them at this point.

After I woke up from a post sex nap, it was already dinner time. I got cleaned up quickly and then we walked out. I almost tripped over my feet when Crew reached over and laced our fingers together.

It made me feel like I matter to him. Like maybe I’m important.

It’s not a feeling I’m used to, and it makes me want to squirm right where I’m standing.

“I know that look,” is sneered from behind me.

When I turn around, I’m meet with the derisive looks from the woman I saw approach Crew yesterday morning at breakfast and another woman I’ve only seen from afar. Both of them are staring at me with open contempt that makes me want to turn around and run the other way.

Instead of giving into that need, I pull my shoulders back and stand tall with my head held high. “Are you speaking to me?”

Pity fills Gabrielle’s features as if she’s got me all figured out. The other woman, whose name I don’t know, curls her upper lip as she looks me over. “You’ll be used up and spit out just like the rest of us. Alpha Crew doesn’t like to settle down and he likes variety.”

Even though her words don’t surprise me, the sudden and sharp pain to the center of my chest that accompanies them does throw me off balance. This is much more than the ache I was feeling before.

“Shut up, Trina,” Tilly growls, the threat in her voice easy to hear.

“I’m just telling it like it is, Tilly,” Trina flashes me a sympathetic grin, but I can see right through it. She’s not sorry. She’s doing this on purpose and her goal is to hurt me.

Well, mission fucking accomplished.

I have no idea what she plans to gain from this game, but if she wants Crew then he’s a grown ass man. He could be with her if he wanted to.

Instead of pointing that out to her, I bite my tongue. They’re not worth the energy. Without a word, I put my plate down on the buffet table, not caring that it’s half full or that someone else is going to have to deal with it.
