Chapter 105: To Listen or To Not Listen?

Jules’ pov

I was in a very shitty mood when the cab I took pulled up in front of the large building the entire students still have about a week left to spend here.

Before we left school a week ago, I told myself I was gonna work really hard in trying to find out the actual murderers of my parents and the entire clan, and so far, I haven’t accomplished anything. It felt a sinking feeling in the middle of my chest, one which was weighting down on me heavily.

As I alighted the car, I let out a resigned sigh. The plastic bag containing a new pack of scent blockers and a brand new phone was carefully clutched in my second hand. Like Andrian had promised, he handed me a new phone before I left, one which he had already set up for me.

I took that avenue to thank him profusely for everything that he had done for me so far and he reassured me that it was alright and that it was what my mother would have done for his child if he suddenly got murdered with his child still being alive.

When Andrian discovered that the phone I had been temporarily using for now actually belonged to Blaze, he instantly grew skeptical and went ahead to check if there was some sort of listening chip in the phone.

Turns out that there was nothing in it.

"I just don’t trust him, or anyone for that matter. Anyone can be the enemy now, so we can’t be completely sure." He said to me as he handed the phone back to me and I swallowed emptily in that moment; because I still refused to believe that Blaze had some ulterior motive the entire time.

It just didn’t make any sense to me.

"Just be careful around him, okay?" He said when I was about to leave and I reassured him that I was gonna be.

"And be mindful of the things you tell him. Remember to keep your true identity a secret." He continued and I pushed my hair out of my face before shrugging a little.

"I genuinely don’t know, Andrian. What if you’re just being paranoid for nothing? So far, all he did was save me." I countered and he waved me off.

"He might have an ulterior motive."

I pursed my lips this time. "Remember the night you asked me to keep my location on? When I had been in danger. You were unreachable when I actually needed you. Blaze was the one who came to my rescue. If not for him, I’d probably be dead by now. So, I- I don’t think he’s the enemy here." I mumbled the last part, averting my gaze when he kept on staring at me.

He remained silent at first before finally breaking the silence.

"What if that was their plan? For him to come save you that night, so that you can trust him even more and not regard him as an enemy? What if that was the plan from the onset? Don’t you think it’s suspicious that he’s the one always saving you for a while now?" He continued and I pursed my lips again, because from his perspective, he does have a point.

I ended up reassuring him that I was gonna be careful and he patted my shoulders a little after that. Andrian said I never engage in a lot of physical touches, from the onset. He never used to touch me at all before, it just started recently now that we’ve gotten to know and trust each other some more.

The car ride back to the dorms was filled with me thinking about a lot of things at once. If I should ignore all of Andrian’s warnings and go ahead to tell Blaze everything, or if I should listen to Andrian and start regarding Blaze as someone who might be a threat to my life.

I let out a loud sigh as I took one last took at the building before starting to make my way in.

I wasn’t looking forward to it, because after what went down between Blaze and Xander this morning, I’m positive that I’d be the main center of attention as soon as I step foot into the large hall which leads off to the elevators.

It was why I didn’t leave Andrian’s office until right now. It was currently past seven p.m and I wondered if Blaze was in our dorm right now, and if he was currently waiting for me.

How am I supposed to act around him now?

Before we parted ways at the mall, he had called me out about me hiding something from him. The air had also been a little tense between us. We’re undoubtedly supposed to clear the air tonight but how is that supposed to happen when I’m supposed to be mindful of what I say and reveal to him?

Why the hell is this happening to me?

I silently asked myself as I slowly walked forward, legs dragging a little.

I slowed to a stop on noticing a few students walking in my directions as well. They were a bunch of omegas, and when they got closer, I noticed that one of them was the omega in Xander’s arms this morning, the same one who had been in Blaze’s arm that fine morning down in the hall.

"Whore." The omega spat at me with so much venom, and the rest of the omegas snickered like that was the funniest word to ever exist.

I let out a loud sigh, not having the time or emotional strength for this right now after the extremely shitty day I had today.

Which was why instead of bothering with a response, I attempting walking past them.

They clearly have a different idea because they all blocked my path in the next moment, hands folded around their middles.

They were five in number.

Even if I was a strong fighter, which I wasn’t, I definitely wouldn’t be able to take on five people at the same time.

Great. Just great. Today is most certainly not on my side in any way.
