CHAPTER 21.0: Someone Knows?
“You hadn’t shown up to your first ss yet, so my father sent me to figure out where you were. Just let
me in Lexus!” Cade yelled.
Lexus held the door, so it was only cracked open while Cade pushed against it. “I’m not decent Cade, I
overslept. I’ll get ready and just show upte.” He looked at me. He wasn’t wrong about being indecent,
he only had his boxers on.
I sat up and looked around panicking. I didn’t have any clothes on, and I looked a mess. It was obvious
I slept here. I jumped out of bed and started putting my clothes on. “I just want to talk and to know
where my sister is.” He whispered. “She wasn’t in her room and you were with herst. I’m just a little
worried.” He sighed.
“I’m sure she’s fine Cade, juste back in fifteen minutes.” Lexus said and lightened his grip on the
door since they had calmed down. Or he thought they did because Cade pushed his way inside.
His eyes widened when he saw me buckling my pants. “What the-“ he turned to Lexus. “No.”
Lexus closed and locked the door. “Are you happy now? Just let us exin.”
Cade scoffed. “How could either of you exin?” You can’t justify this.” I felt so embarrassed.
“We’re chosen mates, by the moon goddess.” Lexus admitted. “She’s my other half, it’s gonna be hard
for you to understand because you’re whole. You understand my rtionship with Sadia, and you’ve
been taught about mates. Doesn’t any of that make sense?”
Cade sat down on the couch. “This is a lot to process. I broke up with Vest night, so I already have
enough on my mind. Even if you’re telling the truth about being mates this still isn’t okay.”
“We’re rejecting each other next week under the full moon.” I thought that piece of information would
help. “Then we’ll be done with this.”
“You broke up with Ve? Why?” Lexus asked.
Cade red at him. “That isn’t the point right now, the point is what you two are doing is wrong and
unprofessional. You became the exact kind of person Arma thought you were.” He stood up. “You’re so
lucky that I can’t just tell you to stay away from my sister.” He really did see me as his actual sister. He
looked at me. “You should get ready in your own room.”
I cleared my throat. “Yeah, of course.” I followed him out of the room. “Thanks for caring.” I mumbled.
Cade sighed. “Maybe you wouldn’t have fell into this if I just spent more time with you to begin with. Are
you and Lexus really mates?”
I blushed. Yeah… it’s a pretty obvious feeling. Are you going to say anything?”
“No, that would make things worse. I’m only going to make sure you two go through with the rejection.
And I’ll be there for you through it since I’m sure it’ll hurt physically and emotionally.”
Knowing I’d have someone there who cared about me made me feel a little more peace. “You’re a
good brother.”
He walked me to my room then I took a shower. I tried to take a quick shower since I waste for ss,
but I was also trying to scrub Lexus’ scent off me. When I got out, I got dressed then left my room to
see Cade was waiting outside for me. “What ss are youte for?”
“History but I have to make sure Lexus gets to ss first.” I started walking.
“You don’t, he’s alreadyte, I’m taking you straight to your ss,” Cade insisted.
I didn’t protest, I let him walk me instead. During ss I would close my eyes to see Lexus in his ss
with my third eye. The professor just thought I was dosing off because I didn’t get much sleep. When
the ss was over, he was waiting for me outside the room. “Really? Don’t you have work?”
“Yes, I was working while you were in ss. I’m just taking a break to make sure you get to your next
ss with little distraction.” He was being protective.
I answered my phone when it rang. “Hey Calvin.”
“Hey, I’ve been trying to reach you, but I guess I wasn’t calling at the best times. I wanted to apologize
for leaving you at the festival yesterday. I wanted to make it up to you.” Calvin was sweet but maybe I
should wait until I was unlinked to Lexus before trying to be with anyone. “Our alpha and luna got
invited to the full moon ball. They also got six extra invitations to distribute among the pack members. I
got an invite whiches with a plus one so do you want to be my plus one?” I didn’t get an invite so
maybe this was my only chance of going. I might have not been able to go at all because I needed to
get unlinked under the full moon.
“Can I think about it and give you my answerter?” I wasn’t confident in any choice I’d make in the
moment.
“Yeah, that’s fine, I’ll talk to youter.” He hung up.
“You shouldn’t bother seeing Calvin again,” Cade suggested.

I stopped when we got to Lexus ss. “Why not?”
Cade scoffed. “No offense but you already don’t have the best track record at picking guys. Youst
chose someone you work for who is engaged.” He whispered thest part.
“I know but I didn’t exactly choose him, the moon goddess did.” I whispered back.
We stopped talking and looked at the door as it opened, and Lexus stepped out. “What are you doing
here Cade? Didn’t we sort this out this morning?”
I tried to walk beside Lexus but Cade stayed between us. “Not really Lexus, you two need to stop what
you’re doing now not on Monday.”
“I’m gonna be honest with you Cade, that’s probably not going to happen. Let me enjoy my time having
a mate and I’ll worry about the rest after.” Lexus made me sound like an experience for him. “It’s not
like this is going to lead to anything, let us have ourst week.”
Cade was frustrated. “Fine but I don’t want to hear about it.”
“So, you’re going to help continue to keep Sadia at a distance for me?” Lexus wanted Cade to be our
look out in a way. “Just for thisst week. It’d be a shame if she found out so close to the full moon.”
Cade sighed. “That’s what I’ve been doing? Fine but I’m not going to enjoy it. Sadia still doesn’t
deserve this.” I felt the same way, but I couldn’t help myself.
