Pollux.

I was never a man who cared for envying other people, and in all honesty, I had been a complete asshole over the past few weeks. Not only while being here, but also before we chere. My sister was my twin, and even though we were completely different and irritated the shit out of each other, I couldn't tell her no.

The way she looked atwith pleading eyes askingto help her because she believed more than anything that Lucas was being controlled, I couldn't say no. I couldn't let her down and not help her when she needed it most.

Even though I thought she was full of shit... even though I thought this was all pointless.

"You're doing the right thing, Lux." Trixie's voice pulledfrom my thoughts as she cto sit next toat the table in the dining hall. I had been so against her initially, but the last few days, I had spent more twith her because of everything going on with Cassie. She wasn't like I had expected her to be and when I stared at her glowing green eyes and electric blue hair, I saw a woman far more exotic and beautiful than I ever saw before. A woman who was capable of so much, and yet had been so vastly misunderstood. "Am I, though? I can't help but feel she is wasting her time." Trixie sighed as she stared at me. I didn't understand why she was so willing to stand by Cassie in this charade of trying to help a man who didn't even want to be her mate. It was embarrassing, and all she was doing was hurting herself even further.

"People act weird when they are in love, and even if he doesn't want her, Cassie has a good heart. If you haven't been able to tell already, Cassie sees things in people others overlook." There was something in Trixie's eyes as she spoke that madewonder if she was slightly directing that at me. If she wasn't trying to say I overlooked things, and maybe also that I was acting weird.

All of it confusedto be honest, and as I tried to wrap my head around everything going on, Lucas walked back into the dining hall with Zia on his arm and every part ofwanted to lose control. Every part ofwanted to rip him apart for what he was doing to my sister, and he must have felt my anger because when he looked at me, he smirked.

"Don't..." Trixie softly placed a hand on my arm, "let it go. We are supposed to be helping her, not making things worse." "I can't fucking stand him. Even before we chere, Lucas was nothing but a thorn in my side. So many times I had the chance to get rid of him, and yet... I couldn't." Standing to my feet, I gripped the edge of the table and stared at Lucas, who sat with a group of kids on the far side of the dining hall. His arm, still draped around Zia. She kissed his neck as if they were thoroughly in love.

The entire sight sickened me, and it madewant to rip him apart even more. But before I could do anything, Trixie stood beside me, her hand tightening around my arm. "Con... let's get out of here." Every part ofwas screaming the moment Trixie touched me. Begging to leave with her and forget all of the troubles I had. Yet, I was scared.

Scared of what my future would be like and how people would viewbecause of her.

"Okay," I sighed as I let her leadfrom the hall. "Where are we going?" She smiled, giving a small laugh as we made our way towards the front door of the school, and out into the evening air. "You're going to go back to your room. You have had a long day, and the last few days haven't been easy-" "My room? Trixie," I replied softly as she gripped my arm tighter and pulledforward.

"No buts about it, sir. You are Mr.

Grumpypants right now, and that isn't safe for anyone Hek- Her easing remark was cute, and hearing her speak the way she was madesmile. Silence filled us with small bits of

banter here and there, and I finally found myself feeling comfortable with a woman for the first tin a long time. She was so different from the other women I had known, and honestly, it was refreshing "Can I say something?" I asked her, listening to her chuckle as she nodded her head. "You don't have to ask if you can asksomething, Lux. Just ask the question."

Glancing at her, the amused smile that crossed her lips made a warm rush of feeling pass over me. Even in a simple pair of leggings and an oversized shirt I was pretty sure was designer-even though it looked like Ine it cout of the garbage she was hot.

"Right," I smiled, "well, if you want, you can cup... I'm just going to catch up on swork. Maybe you can helpwith sof the magic stuff."
