Chapter Ninety-Two: Driving to his apartment

“So, more than a girlfriend is your sister.” Tillie asked, her voice was lacking the warmth that it normally did.

The muscle in my jaw twitched and I let out a sigh. “Nicole, yes.” | said, knowing that I should have told her about Jake and my sister this morning instead of her find ing out like this.

“Does she make you happy?” Tillie asked Jake and he tilted his head to the side.

“Do they make you happy, Til? I wouldn’t have thought you would end up with three men.” He said, it wasn’t said roughly just a teasing tone that I didn’t like, and neither did Ryan. His lips pulled back, his teeth lengthened and his eyes darkened.

“They do. They all do.”

Her words made my heart beat faster and Ryan looked at her. His eyes softened and his beast pulled back from the surface.

“That’s all I want for you,” Jake said, stepping forward. I growled and he stopped, lifting his hands up in front of

him. “I want you to be happy, but if they ever hurt you. You let me know and I’ll take care of it.”

“Jake-” Tillie said, but he cut her off.

“I mean it, Til. You weren’t my mate, but I care about you.” He looked over at me before his eyes moved to Ryan. “I’ll always be your friend.”

I didn’t like the fact that he had touched my mate. But knew that Tillie needed this closer. That the hug was her way of saying goodbye to the relationship that they’d had. I could feel it through the bond that we shared.

Jake turned away from us, heading up the stairs, leav ing us alone.

Tillie watched him go, I looked over at her. Watching her eyes tear up as she watched him go.
