And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 0359

"Hey, I was just coming to find you guys. I actually ordered us some food down the street. Why don't we go ahead and take a walk and go pick it up, and then we can get to class, and we won't be late," she said without a breath, causing my suspicion level to rise even higher. "What the hell is going on with you two? Why are you acting like this?" Both Sansa and Trixie looked at each other, giving each other a questionable gaze that was undeniably a sense of warning, if you will, between the two of them.

I wasn't sure what was going on, but I sure as hell was going to find out. As I pushed past Trixie, opening the door to the cafeteria, I got a front-row view of exactly what had them so out of sorts.

Lucas sat at the table with Zia and a couple of the other populars-if you want to call them that-who showed off around school. His arm was draped over Zia's shoulders as she leaned in close to him with only inches between his lips and hers.

Upset didn't even begin to explain the way I felt the moment I laid my eyes on him and Zia. Only two days ago, he had literally tried to kill me, and yet he was sitting here amongst all of these people, acting as if everything was fine and nothing was wrong with him. Shock and anger consumed me as I tried to think of what to do or what to say. Anyone else would have run out of there crying in tears that their mate was lounging on another woman, but my and Lucas's situation was far different than the typical mated couple. Hell, we weren't even actually mated it yet. Of course, we had sex, but thank God I didn't let him bite me. I could only imagine what the mate bond would feel like right now. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
