Chapter 38

"What the hell are you doing?!" I screamed at Hunter, patting my chest to calm down my heart which was beating so loud, I could hear the blood pounding in my eardrums.

"Out." I kept the answer short and vague, unable to meet his eyes as I rotated the ring on my finger, fidgeting under his penetrating gaze.

"Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from him?"

Why is his voice so calm? Why is he so calm?

I swallowed audibly, "What do you mean?"
