27. Mind Readers
Days melted into nights and my memory only stores
all of it as a haze of walking, arguing and more
walking.
The forest was getting thicker, the trees and vines
blocking our path— it’s not even a path actually, just a
zig-zag go through. So I guess it’s really our fault for
doing this, not theirs.
“Goddess, this is infuriating,” I grumble as I push vines
out of my view and stagger behind Luke
How the hell can he walk through here?
“Stop grumbling and focus,” He calls back “The roots
are protruding out of the ground.”
“What’s next? Apes throwing rocks at us?”
“I doubt it. The forest was cleared of most animals for
the Hunt.”
I roll my eyes but don’t say anything, as I do so, my
gaze lands on a bright red feather ball on one of the
lower branches of a tree.
“Aww, just look at that adorable— eeek!”
My foot catches in something and I lose my balance,
falling towards the earth, I clench my eyes to brace
myself for the fall but before that could happen,
something pulls me back upright.
Luke doesn’t let go of my arms even when I’ve
straightened, causing a tingly feeling where' his skin
touches mine. Does he feel that too? Am I being
hormonal? Is it the air?
“I told you to be careful,” He says, nodding his chin
towards the ground where' a root was protruding out
“I got distracted,” I pull away from him, unable to bare
the tingles
But when I attempt to do that, a sharp pain up my
ankle causes me to stop with a hiss. I lift my foot and
to my horror, see a bruise winking at me.
Luke steadies me again, furrowing his eyebrows he
stares at my ankle that’s already starting to swell “Do
you think you can walk?”
I give him a look “I’m going to pretend you didn’t say
that.”
“But we cant stop here,” he looks at our surroundings
“Oh yes, I can definitely float in the air.”
“Hazel, let me think.”
“No really, just watch,” I close my eyes and strike a
yoga pose by connecting my thumbs and forefingers
“Oom— work damn thing— oom.”
With a sigh, Luke lets go of me, I wobble and lean
against a tree. He simply turns his back at me before
crouching down.
“Are you…” I stare at his back in disbelief “Are you
going to give me a back ride?”
“If you’re done processing that, hurry up.” he says, his
voice irked
I bite my bottom lip not to grin like an idiot. Who
knew I’d see the day Alpha Luke Winters gives me a
back ride? Don't forget to leave a Comment
