Evaline:
Fifteen minutes later, I finally stepped out of Kieran's office.
The moment the door clicked shut behind me, my phone buzzed again in my pocket, almost angrily, like it was scolding me for ignoring it for so long. A dozen unread messages lit the screen - Mallory, Kyros, even from Ria. All of them were asking where I had disappeared to.
I replied with a quick 'On my way' and slipped it back into my coat.
But as I made my way toward the dining hall, my thoughts were still tangled up in what I had just learned from Kieran.
All this time, I had thought my mate… love life… was messy. Messy enough to keep me lying awake at night, questioning my own sanity. But after tonight, I realized I had been looking at chaos through a keyhole. Kieran had opened the door, and the storm on the other side made mine look tame.
I couldn't decide whether to feel sorry for him… or worry about how he's going to come out of this situation without hurting anyone.
