11 At All Odds 

Tia

Two Months Later..

Ever since the incident with Caleb, Luke had been guarded around me. He was pleasant and got me everything he felt I needed without me asking, but I knew he had put up a wall between us, and he never returned home until the early hours of the morning. The kiss I shared with Caleb pushed him to spend more time with Elisabeth, which was good for her. My heat never came and I saw. that as a blessing too. 1

I continued my combat training with Caleb and Kirk, and even though Caleb tried to get me in private, I never allowed it. I always made sure Kirk was there. I wished we could go back to being friends, but it was hard now that Caleb had made his intentions known to me. I still had a crush on him, and I was fighting it with all my might. I was his brother’s wife now, and I knew Stacy had it in for me for reasons best known to her. I knew it was best I kept things formal between Caleb and me.

Luke had set up a gym for me on the left-wing; Luna Stacy was making my life unbearable. She insisted we have breakfast with the family. Now that the non-existent honeymoon phase was over, we had to have breakfast with the family. There was a lot of tension during breakfast. There were times I wanted to run away from the place. Luna Stacy usually picked on me during breakfast; Caleb and Luke coming to my defence all the time made it worse; soon, I started avoiding breakfast all together. It had been a month since I had breakfast with the family. Other than breakfast, I was banned from going to the right-wing, and I respected Luke’s order. I wasn’t allowed to do as I liked, but he went to his girlfriend every night, having the time of his life. What a bloody hypocrite. I loved reading, so I started using the public library during my free hours. I was tempted to buy books, but why spend money when I could read them for free in the community library? It was hell, but I was pushing through. I woke up in the morning and was shocked to find Luke was still around. I did not bother to ask him anything. I just went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. I had combat training by ten in the morning, and I planned to go to the library by four in the evening. I returned to the room and curled up on the bed. We have to go to the rightwing for breakfast, Tia. My father is beginning to complain,He said, and I did not care.

It doesnt matter whether I am there or not. Please spare me the torture of dealing with your mother and your brother.I said, and he was silent a bit before he finally spoke.

Sneaking about with Caleb will end after breakfast,” he said with certainty. I could not believe he still believed something was going on between Caleb and me. I am not involved with Caleb. He is my friend, and I will be his Gamma. You do not expect me to avoid him altogether when I have to train with him; besides, you shouldnt care. Your life did not change drastically like mine did. You get to be with Elisabeth every night,I shot at him, tired of the accusations.
