(Selina)

Noah was abnormally quiet during the dinner. He looked a lot at me but didn't say anything to me. He was acting weird. Or maybe it's me. I was still thinking about my meeting with Fynn and all the things we shared. I feel sorry for him because he never asked for that and he is the one who will have to live with their mistakes. He is the one who suffers the most because of her. There is also what he told me about Noah. I don't know what to think about that anymore.

"Good evening princess!" Tom says joining me in the garden.

"Sir Thomas. What are you doing here? Does your mate is not waiting for you?" I reply.

"She does but you were acting weird tonight, so did Noah. Did something happen?"

"No, not really."

"Not really?"

"I was just lost in my own thoughts tonight. I just need some time alone."

"Okay... You know you can tell me everything." He replies knowing me.

"I met Fynn before dinner. He asked to see me and I went to meet him." I finally confess.

"It was to expect. He has contacted me too."

"Did you meet him too?"

"No. I'm not ready. I'm scared to say something I will regret later."

" You should. He is not fine and needs your forgiveness. In the end, he's the one who's paying the highest price for that. He's eating by his guilt and his self hated. We need to offer him peace of mind at least."

"It's too easy no?"

"If you see him, you will realize it's far from being easy for him. He is suffering a lot, more than he should."

"People died because of him." He says.

"And we both know it's was not him. The real him."

"So he came to say sorry and you forgave him."

"He didn't come to have my forgiveness. I think he was hoping for my anger. To be punished again."

"If you say so..."

"Actually, I think he also came to defend his brother."

"Noah?" He asks surprised.

"No his other brother!" I mock him and he sticks his tongue in response.

"Wow, what a grown Lycan's reaction!" I tease him.

He laughs: "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!"

It's my turn to stick my tongue making him laugh even more.

When he stops to laugh, I add: " They drugged Noah with a kind of "Viagra potion" and one of Serena's friends agreed to help them. She had a crush on him."

"Wow. That's explained this!"

"Develop, please?" I ask confused.

"Noah was a virgin before that. I never understood how he could lose it like that. He always said the first time will be with someone special. When I asked him why he did it this night, he was not able to explain why he did it."

"Noah was a virgin? At 23, he was still a virgin!" I say skeptically.

"Yes, he was. He was waiting for the special girl."

"And we all the girls he had, no one was special?" I add still not believing it.

"You're his special girl."
