"You know we also have to talk right?" Acer welcomed me right after I slam the door behind me, I barely nod and followed him right at the back door of their mansion. Jourdan fell asleep into my arms right after we talked, we kissed and all that but she was tired and I was too so she beg for a cuddle. I'm such a douche to disagree, yeah?

We headed outside and I was never been on the backside of their mansion. It was a garden, filled with different kinds of flowers and bushes shaped as animals. Acer lead me to a bench beside the fountain and he breathed, taking in the sight.

"I haven't been here since Safeira and I broke up," He mutters, sitting down the bench with his hands inside his pockets. Actually, this is where Safeira and Acer's first date happened. I wasn't there but he told me everything about it. This was their place and he promised that if they ever end up together, he will marry her on this garden. This is why it was his favorite place of all, this is where their love grew. They used to sneak out at midnight and hangout here, without Jourdan knowing about them. But I guess now, it's his least favorite of all. Their love ended and it's hard to cope up with a broken heart, I felt that.

"You still love her?" I ask him the obvious. Of course, he's head over heels inlove with Saf. She's rather perfection in his eyes. I just wanted to know if he's being real with me.

"I guess so. It always pains me whenever I see her. I always have this feelings for her, Calum. It never leaves." He mutters, zoning out. I just stared at him for a second long when he breathed in and sat up straight.

"I want to tell you something, but first-" He went straight to me and punch me directly to my stomach, making me cough and choke on my own spit. Fuck, that was hard. "Ow, dude. You should've warn me whenever you do that shit." I cough and he rolls his eyes, sitting back to where he sat before.

"Well, bullshit, Thomas. You know I'd do that, that's for breaking your promise." I answered him a nod of understatement. I should've been aware he'd do that. I literally broke his promise and that's hurting his sister.

"You asked me to come with you just to punch me in the fucking stomach, Seth?"

"No, asshole. I am here to tell you about the shit that's about to go down." He mutters and looked over me.

"Oh yeah, about Michael?" I mumbled and sat down the bench. He looked right at me and pursed his lips. "I don't believe Luke." I held a wide-eyed gaze on him as my mouth hanged open.

"Dammit, Ace! You too?" I almost yelled back at him and he held his gaze on me, his eyes were squeezing as if he's looking right through my soul. "God, are you blind Calum?" He slowly spoke and I laugh out loud.

"The question is for you, Ace. Are you blind? Because I'm going to take you to an Ophthomologists." I said, only to recieve a hard slap at the back of my neck. I hissed, wincing from the pain and gave him an annoyed look.

"Michael can't do that, Calum. Seriously." He looks at me as serious as possible. I looked at him bewildered as I can't fully understand why they see Michael like an angel sent from heaven. When in fact, he's Lucifer's cousin-in-law.

"I mean, he's not the one who's betraying the pack." Acer says, his voice was calm and all but I don't get it. Who will betray the pack if it's not Michael?

"Do you even know what you're saying?" I ask him stupidly, I was confused. I don't know where he's getting all of this, it doesn't make sense. I mean if it's not Michael, it can't be Acer, whose just telling me that he don't think Michael is the traitor and Acer can't do that, he can't betray me and his own sister. Ashton, Ashton obviously cannot betray the pack, we're bestfriends from womb to tomb. He cannot also betray Renee, especially now that he's all occupied with his plan to propose. Maybe not now, since it's all still fucked up because of Grayson's returning and Luke, yeah we can't forget about that blonde bimbo. The proposal is not now but soon, eventually.
