now or never

Here I was. I stood next to Violet and Imogen, the girl with the pink hair, and watched as Cam miserably defeated his opponent. A lot happened when I was outside. Sloane screamed that he wanted to fight Violet, and then a woman next to Violet was killed just because a guy thought she was Violet. And the whole thing doesn't even end there, as Violet is then beheaded and killed. And I missed all of this because I was lost in Bodhi's lips.

My heart clenched at the thought. "I'm sorry, that was a mistake." he had said. Was that a mistake? Absolutely. Did it still hurt? Shit and all that. There was something about Bodhi that I couldn't help but love, without knowing what it was.

But here we were now. Two hours had already passed and he hadn't even glanced at me. I wanted to ignore him too but I couldn't. He came to us every now and then to look after Violet, who had injured her head in the fight. I would have killed this guy slowly and painfully, not quickly like Violet did.

"Say Graycastle," Imogen began. "What's going on between you, Bodhi and Aetos?" I looked at her questioningly. "I'm sorry, what?" "Well, ever since you and Bodhi were called to the mat, Dain has been standing there pissed off. Like when Violet was just in the same room with Xaden." I remained silent. I didn't have an answer to her question and even if I did, there wouldn't be a real answer.

"Dain is what he is and Bodhi probably reminds him too much of Xaden." Violet replied instead. That's right, Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson had something going on and at the same time they were their dragon mates.

"It could be that, or he thinks that if he can't have you, Graycastle would do something to him." Imogen mused. I had to suppress a gag. Dain was a snake who only followed the rules and it was clear that he needed to get laid, but not from me. Never!

"I would rather die." I replied.

"That's clear, but you have to have someone in mind." Imogen said and looked around. "I think Bodhi would be a good match for you. I mean, sleep with someone while you still can." "Exactly," Violet agreed. "Bodhi would certainly..."

She stopped her sentence and looked past Imogen, next to whom Bodhi was now standing. "Please don't let it bother you and continue your sentence. I'm excited." Oh God. He had no idea what it was about. I gave Violet a warning look but she didn't seem to notice my stare as she continued speaking.

"Bodhi would certainly sleep with you." she finished her sentence as if it had never been interrupted and Bodhi wasn't standing next to us. Imogen laughed lightly and nudged the stunned Bodhi in the side. When he saw my look, he shook his head and watched a fight on the mat in front of us. Fine, if you don't want to say anything I will.

"Violet, you know very well that I only have sex with a certain type of man and Durran isn't one of them." I didn't look at any of the three, but instead fixed my gaze on a first-year man. He was tall and muscular. He definitely didn't look bad. Violet snorted and Imogen looked at me confused. My voice seemed to sound more bitter than I thought but I didn't care since Bodhi didn't seem to notice. Because he was now looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"Really, that's interesting. And don't worry, you're not my type." And with that he walked past me. He seemed angry. Fuck you, you have no reason to.

His words ran through my head. "You're not my type." But it didn't feel like that a few hours ago. But I also said he wasn't my type and that wasn't a lie. Still, I wanted him.
