Page 42 of Brandy Snap: Part Two

“Kai, why are you out here?” she asked, her foot splashing on the puddle of water as she moved towards me.

I turned my head, staying silent. If I refused to talk to her, maybe she’d get the hint and fucking leave.

“I’m so sorry,” she whispered as she took another step forward, and I pushed my back against the cold marble wall, as if I’d ever be able to get away from her.

“Shut up,” I groaned. I wished I could cover my ears, but then I wouldn’t be able to hear the hoarse edge to her voice.

“I’m sorry for sleeping with him,” she said.

“I said shut the fuck up.” Words wouldn’t make a difference now she was here. I’d already felt how fucking in love Sin was with her. It didn’t matter how much they apologised. They still fucked behind my back. At least Cas told me what he was going to do before he cheated right in front of my fucking face during my own heat like a real trooper.

“Sin told me about Caspian and Camille as well…” She trailed off. Another splash, another step forward. I was pretty sure she was past the halfway point now and was just standing in the rain pouring through the dome.

“Congratulations,” I replied, totally flat. “Good for you. That still doesn’t explain why the fuck you’re here.” Because the closer she grew, the stronger her scent became. The rain should have washed it away, but it just made it thicker, and I couldn’t not fall into her trap.

Her face crumpled as her chest heaved, and I shuddered as one more step brought her in front of me.

I rocked my head back to scowl at her, which was a huge fucking mistake.

I couldn’t resist her when she hit me with her mournful doe-eyes.

“Why can’t you just fuck off? Did you really think you could just waltz in here after fucking myalpha like I was gonna cheer you on or something?”

I tried to hold back my whimper, but I fucking failed, like I did with everything else in my stupid life.

“Why do you have to keep hurting me?” I groaned, my voice cracking.

Because the worst thing was, even though they fucked behind my back, we were still scent matches because of our fucking bite. And I’d been so scared the match was going to vanish when our bond faded that the first thing I did when I saw her was to get near enough to scent her to make sure it hadn’t dissolved.

I mean, what kind of fucking loser worries about shit like that?

And even more than feeling betrayed, I was furious Sin didn’t take me along when he carried her off like a gallant hero, all so he could shove his cock in her.

He’d had Brandy all to himself, and he hadn’t even fucking shared.

She gave me a sad smile. “I feel like that’s the realest you’ve been with me since we met.”

“I’ve been real with you all the time, Brandy,” I said with a bitter laugh. “You’ve just been too wrapped up in my alphas to fucking notice.”

She completely crumbled, and I jerked back as she fell to her knees in front of me. Water swelled around her legs, but I was too distracted by how desperate her gaze was.

“What the fuck are you doing?” I growled.

“Kai,” she said my name like it shattered her heart. I shouldn’t have even let her get so close.

I flinched as her fingers swept past my lips as she cupped my left cheek.

“Brandy, please,” I rasped. I hated how weak I sounded as I pleaded for her to stop.

It hurt too much, especially when she was drenched in Sin’s vanilla.

I dragged the bottle from between my thighs and took another swig of champagne, glaring at her like I could fire a laser beam through her heart so she’d stop fucking looking at me like that.

She softly turned my head back to her, forcing me to look at her pained expression.

“Have you been putting up with this the whole time?” she asked.

“What the fuck do you mean?” I asked through gritted teeth. I slammed the champagne bottle on the bench next to us, the glass shrieking as it ground against the marble.
