Ethan POV:
I watched her walk away with the laundry basket in her arms. She did not look back. I shook my head and remembered what had happened in the last 30 seconds. Trying to ignore the good parts of nearly kissing her and she being so close to me. Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps but the scents on my sheet belonged to Isaac and Alice and from the smell of it... They've been intimate. Would my best friend really do that to me? And Alice? She was cruel and crazy but everyone knew she wanted to be Luna so why would she jeopardize that? So many questions and no real way to sort through them. I couldn't exactly ask them. I sighed and walked to my room, hoping that the Moon Goddess would smile down upon me and send Selena to me for something small so that just maybe I could reveal myself to her. Not in a sick way! Just.. like... tell her that we are mates... I walked faster and scanned my room key over the door. Alice was splayed out on my bed and I felt my blood boil. My room had no traceable scents which means they were probably f*****g here. I felt disgusted! "What are you doing here Alice!?" I snapped, keeping my voice assertive so she didn't try her usual stunts of manipulation. She feigned hurt, "Ethan, where is this aggression coming from?" Her eyes were brimming with crocodile tears. I rolled my eyes at her, "why are you here and what do you even want?" I asked, she stared at me hard and her eyes flashed in an instant. There's the bully we all know and love, "actually, I should be asking you, what the hell is going on with you!?" She snapped, I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to fake disinterest. "Alice, you're so typical. I know you're busy with Isaac, but in my room!?" I growled and her eyes faltered for a moment, she was caught off guard. I think it was the mate bond making me more daring. After all, that was Selena's expertise not mine. "I-I-I-" She was stuttering, "save it! I'm sure you would have a perfectly well rounded excuse if you had rehearsed it but we're done!" I swung my room door open, gesturing for her to leave, she hesitantly walked to the door, "and my key card please!" She begrudgingly handed it over, "Ethan, I-" I cut her off with a wave of my hand, "save it for someone who gives a s**t!" The door slammed in her face. My heart was pounding more than anything but I felt free. It was stupid and wreckless but I was finally free! Free of being tied to that evil woman for the rest of my life. Maybe now, Selena and I could have a chance. A minute later, there were hard knocks at the door and any hope of me seeing Selena was now shattered. I sighed as I got up to open the door and there stood Isaac. I stared at him emotionless and unwelcoming, "I guess, I'm not welcome in your room anymore?" He chuckled and stared at him harder, "Look, Ethan it isn't what you think... It was a one time thing, we were both pretty vulnerable from how you took that mutt's side the other night-" "Isaac, stop!" I raised my hand to stop him, his insult towards Selena was raising my blood pressure and my temper, "I know the two of you have been f*****g for awhile! You're only here because you want something, what is it?" I asked and he looked sheepish as he scratched the back of his head and looked around, "look, maybe we can come to some kind of an agreement?" He said and I looked at him bored, "what could you offer me?" I asked, "we'll do anything for your silence." He looked desperate and scared. I scoffed at him in disbelief. "So you weren't even really here to apologize, come to think of it," I paused looking away as I pretended to think hard about it, "you didn't apologize and once my father knows that not only did you disrespect me by sleeping with my chosen Luna but you f****d her in my room!" My voice was loud and I watched Isaac shrink with fear, "please," he begged in a hushed voice as he raised his hands in a defensive position, "stay away from my mutt of a servant!" I snapped and watched his eyes search me for a clue as to why, "are we in agreement?" I asked firmly, keeping my face emotionless. He nodded his head vigorously at me like a stray dog that was fed recently, "good! Now leave me the f**k alone!" I slammed my room door in face. My heart was pounding even more now but through that whole altercation I was calm. Not a single missed beat or even skipping of beats. Where was this bold energy coming from? But while I was overflowing with confidence and adrenaline I decided to find Selena and this time, I would confess everything and not back out!
