Chapter 19
-LANA-
I was bored. There was nothing to do now that Apollo was nowhere around,
was getting a lot of attention, just like at the party, and it had everything to do with my outfit. No one ever spared me more than one look in the past when I was covered in my sweaters
“Would you cheer up? “Isabella asks me as she hands me an ice cream. “You’ve been sulking since we got here, and I don’t have a single clue why.
It had everything to do with Apollo bringing another random girl home just a few days after kissing me. I can’t believe I’ve been waiting for him. only to see him come home with yet another random woman, I hated to see how happy she was to be next to him.
Isabella taps her nails against the table, bringing my attention back to her.
It is only then that I realize she is waiting for a response from me.
Should 1 just end the torture and tell her that Apollo was my mate? She would completely understand everything I was going through if she knew the truth. It may take some time for her to recover from the truth, but at least I would have someone with whom I could share my problems.
No Lana. No one can ever find out about Apollo. You need to keep it to yourself even if it gets difficult.
“Have you ever thought about what it would be like when you meet your mate?” I ask her. I was trying to distract her with a question of my own.
She looks thrown off–guard.
“No,” She admits. “Not really”
I frown. “not even once?”
When I was her age, I was already thinking about everything I would like to do once I found my mate
She shook her head, “I am more interested in becoming the best designer ever known I don’t want to be distracted by love just yet.”
Maybe I should have been more like habella from the start, then, I wouldn’t have gotten my heart broken like this.
“Are you sure nothing happened in Havenville!” She asks me. You have not been the same since you went there and didn’t find your mate”
I open my mouth to respond when a strange man approaches our table. I have never seen him around before
“Are you Alpha Moon’s sister!” he asks with narrowed eyes.
1 frown.
I could tell by his gaze aloge that this was most definitely a for of Apollo. No friend of his would be looking at me like this.
Isabella gazes at me, her brow furrowing as she struggles to understand the situation unfolding before us. The flicker of uncertainty in her eyes hints that the, too did not know this man personally.
His presence is unfamiliar, evoking a sense of panic between us. The air is thick as I wait for some explanation as to why he was at our table looking like someone who came for revenge.
“What do you want?” I ask him as I try to push Isabella behind me. I could sense my sister’s fear
“You didn’t answer my question.” He growls.
watch as he tightens his knuckles in front of us, implying that he is planning to get physical if I don’t start talking soon.
“I do not need to answer your question, you are a stranger to me,” I explain. “I don’t know what this is about, but my sister and I have no idea who you are, bo, can you please leave us alone?”
Has eyes darken dangerously as he takes a step even closer to me. I asked you a question, and I want the fucking answer to ill”
Isabella touches my arm gently, ‘maybe you should answer hün”
Even if I Were to linawer
ower him, how would he react when I confined that Apollo was my step–brother
I gasp when he grabs me by my hair and shoves me to the ground aggressively before I have a chance to even think about answering him.
“Lamar babella cries in horror as she attempts to get up. “Leave my sister alone!”
“spliclls, nor I stopped her from trying to defend me. I didn’t want her to get hurt, and I was okay with getting injured as long as my sister was safe.

Chapter 19
I didn’t know who this man was or what he wanted from us, but I did not plan on giving him any answers about Apollo.
“What do you want?” I demand. “We do not know your
“I waist answers.” He growls. “Tell me where I can find Apollo! Tell me now, or you will regret it soon”
I narrow my eyes, “I am not obligated to tell
you anything”
I should probably keep my mouth shut, considering he was becoming angrier by the i
This man seemed crazy
He lean down and grabs me by my hair once more. I don’t think twice as I spit into his face.
but I was not willing to put Apollo’s life in danger
Hemp it off and pushes me hack onto the ground. I do not have time to prepare as he slaps me hard across the face. I wince at the pain from the impact, I could feel my lip begin in bleed.
“Tell use where I can find Apollo or
He doesn’t get to finish his sentence when he gets a punch straight to the nose and falls to the ground from the impact. Elook up just in time to see Apollo standing above me. He’s shaking with rage as he gives the man a deathly glare
He momentarily shifts his gaze from him to me, crumpled on the ground in pain. I can see a flicker of fury igniting in his eyes as his expression
darkens
The tension in the air thickens as he takes long, determined steps toward the man.
Everything that happens next is like a blur. One minute, the man was holding his nose and checking for blood, and the next, he was against the wall as Apollo continued to beat him senselessly.
When he was done with him, the stranger was bleeding from head to toe. I never liked violence, which made it difficult for me to pay attention to the fight.
All I knew was that it was pretty easy for Apollo to win. He didn’t have to put much effort into it at all. In fact, the man could not even move a muscle now that Apollo was done with him.
Isabella rushes to my side and helps me to my feet while our step brother stars making some calls.
“What the beli juut happened?” the whispers in horror.
