“Hi, Luna!” Emma and her friend echoed once I got into the elevator. “You look good today!” She exclaimed.
“You look like you’ve been having a good time.” Clarissa added. She touched my hair, then she sniffed it. “I love your shampoo. What is it called?” I looked away, feeling my skin heat. I’d run out of shampoo so I used Valens’ now.
“It’s not ” the elevator stopped for someone to get in. Surprise, surprise, it was Clover. She took one look at me and the other girls before storming off, not bothering to hide her anger.
Just seeing her face made my stomach turn. My excitement dimmed and my fists clenched. Valens wasn’t the only one who worked here but I had a gut feeling she had come to see him.
“She couldn’t even greet,” Clarissa said, annoyance in her voice.
“How disrespectful.” I had nothing to say to them. My mind was flying over the place and I couldn’t get it to calm down.
The girls got off the elevator and I managed to respond to their farewells. I got to Valens’ office still in a dazed state. He was waiting for me at the door with a smile on his face.
“Should I be jealous of my Beta now?” He asked. In reply, I asked a question of my own.
“Have you seen Clover recently?” The smile on his face fell.
“Ah, about her. There’s something she told me.” I couldn’t fight the scowl on my face.
“Clover, what is it you want, really?” I’d known this girl since childhood. She had never undermined my authority like this before.
“Valens, are you going to treat me like this because of because of some ”
“Pick your next words carefully,” my wolf growled. “They’d determine whether you keep your head or not.”
“I know that she’s your mate but I’m your friend. Doesn’t that count for anything? I bore your curse with you. I stood with you when no other woman would and now you’re threatening to banish me?”
“You didn’t break my curse,” I reminded her.
“I would if I could!” I pulled the phone from my ear when she yelled, peeping to see my mate still sleeping. “You know I wanted to be your lucky clover but it’s not my fault and you know I tried. We tried everything,” she emphasized the last word.
My heart pricked at the words that were little more than accusations. Yes, I tried everything in the early days of my curse. I was desperate to be free of the spirit of a wanderer. I didn’t want to be the cursed prince. I tried everything suggested and Clover was by my side through it all. We always assumed we would be mated so it was natural to think she’d be my curse breaker.
“Clover, what is it you want?”
“Not to be tossed aside like a used rag by my best friend who I sacrificed my life for,” she yelled.
There it was. The price for her loyalty. Her sacrifice. I knew this day would come. When she would demand to be repaid but I still didn’t have an idea how she could be repaid.
“You’re not my mate,” I told her. “And my mate does not want you near me.”
“I was with you when you had no mate. I’m not trying to be your mate, Vee. I just want to be your friend. I need a friend. I need a friend, Valens!”
“I cannot be your friend now. Maybe in the future.”
“So that’s it? You used me all my life and now you’re done with me? You can’t be friends with me anymore because I made one mistake trying to protect you?”
“Clover ”
“I was raped because of you!” She screamed. “I was beaten, bruised, kidnapped numerous times because of you. I have a body decorated with scars because of you. Every whip that ever touched my back was because of you ”
“That’s enough.” I stopped her. “I am not ungrateful. I understand the magnitude of your sacrifice for me but I will not displease my mate to repay you.”
“She comes into your life and none of the rest of us matter,” she laughed.
“I’ve entertained you for long enough. You don’t have a reason for calling me and it shows.”
“Right. I must be a fool. Despite your lack of interest in my friendship, I still consider you a friend. I know you’re trying to get information out of Andrew and I think I might be able to help.”
“Jabari is in charge of Andrew and everything relating to my mate’s kidnapping. If you have anything that may help, tell it to him.” I ended the call and turned off my phone for extra measures.
What she had to say plagued me all the way to work. When I got to my office, I saw she’d left numerous calls on my work line. Rather than get into work so I could get back home quick, I dwelt on how best to handle Clover.
She’d sacrificed a lot for me. She’d been forced to go from a dainty omega to a warrior. I stole her youth. Like she said, I’d used her and now I was letting her go. I had to consider my relationship with my mate first.
My phone rang when I powered it on.
“Clover called. She’s not saying anything to anyone but you and she claims she has valuable information,” Jabari said immediately I picked his call.
“If she’s hoarding it then it must be valuable to her. How do I know it will help me in any way?”
“I can’t believe I am about to say this.” I heard Jabari sigh. “We have no leads. We don’t know where Skylar is or who bought Andrew; bastard still won’t wake. The faster we act, the better. If Clover says she knows something, then we need to hear it.”
“I am sure you have ways of getting information out of her,” I said, unrelenting.
