Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took
them gratefully. “Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love
triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for
guests.” He explained carefully.
‘Oh she’ll hate that…’ Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Ann frowned.
“Already? But she hasn’t been here that long…” Ann said, a little awestruck at how
easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations.
“I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in
these situations?” Adam asked incredulously as he stared at Ann slightly openmouthed.
“I think you are both getting the wrong idea here.” Bartholomew interrupted quickly as
they both refocused their attention on him. “It appears that both males involved seem
to be underthe impression that they have some sort of claim on her.”
Adam snorted.
“Good luck with that. I can’t see Lexi allowing anyone to claim her.”
“No, me either,” Ann said as she chewed on her lip briefly. “Were you there when it
happened?”
“No, but news travels fast, especially regarding someone as interesting as Lexi. The
fact that she has both Allen and Greyson seemingly fighting over her…”
“Wait, Allen?!” Adam said before swearing loudly as he spilled his coffee over his leg
and hastily wiped at it. ‘Ha! I knew it! There was no way that Allen wasn’t that riled up
about her without her being his mate.’ Maeve yelled jubilantly, causing Ann to wince.
‘I didn’t see Greyson jumping in for a bit of three-way action though,’ Maeve continued
excitedly, ‘Oooo girl is gonna be sore with two men.’ Maeve whistled lowly.
‘Shut up Maeve, she’s going to be distraught.’ Ann snapped.
‘I beg to differ.’ Maeve chuckled, ‘There’s no way that one man will ever be able to
keep Lexi settled or satisfied.’
‘That’s not true!’ Ann snarled a little defensively.
She didn’t see herself as a prude but she knew just how complex Lexi was. This was
going to be devastating for her emotionally because she had always been so proud
that everything she had achieved, she had done by herself. She had never had to rely
on a man for anything and had always pitied the fact that Ann would have to spend
the rest of her life with one man, knowing that her mate would complete her and no
matter what Ann had said, she wouldn’t change her mind.
She was adamant that she would live her life her way, without being told what to do or
who to see by any man. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
If what Bartholomew was saying was true and they were mates, and this wasn’t all
just down to male jealousy and posturing, then the Goddess truly had a twisted sense
of humor giving someone like Lexi, not just one mate, but two.
“Did she come here afterward then?” Ann asked urgently.
“No, I found her in a secluded area of the garden. She was quite clearly struggling
with her emotions so I thought the best course of action was to bring her back here
and take her mind off it until you came.”
“Thank you.” Ann said gratefully, “Underneath that fiery persona and impenetrable
shell, she’s a softie and fiercely loyal. I’m so mad at myself for not being there for her.”
“I’m furious at Allen for not doing as he was told.” Adam fumed broodily as he picked
at his wet trousers. ‘I mean… if you think about it… he did do what you asked, just not
in the way either of you thought he would…’ Maeve sniggered.
