They didn’t give a fuck if I died or not.
“You seem quiet today,” said Adam when we took a break from walking, and we all sat around on the boulders.
“From what she’d gone through, I don’t blame her,” said Lacy, speaking for me. I gritted my teeth, sitting there as they talked. But then Lacy addressed me. “Aren’t you glad you came on this trip with me? Your mom thought it would be a good idea for me to take you out of the house.”
“My mom?” I asked, taken aback. Annoyance swirled through me that she’d been talking to my mom behind my back.
“Yeah, she called me and said it would be a good idea for us to do something,” said Lacy.
“So you did all this for me?”
“Well…yeah, but I also wanted to have fun,” she said, smiling and not at all aware that I was fuming by now.
“So whatever my mom says, you’ll just do it? Without talking to me first?”
“Well, I know what you’ve been through,” she said sheepishly.
At that, I shot up from my seat, breathing rapidly. “You don’t have a clue what happened to me. None of you have a fucking clue what I went through! Why don’t you all stop pretending to be my friends and go back to your fucking lives?”
“Whoa, whoa,” said Adam, getting up and touching my arm, but I shook him off, backing away. Lacy sat there silently with a shocked look on her face, her eyes wide and filled with tears.
“I didn’t mean for…” she started to say, but I cut her off while Adam and Manny watched us.
“I need to be alone,” I snapped, walking off into the trees away from all of them. Then I turned back, “Don’t wait for me! Go home if you want. I’ll get home on my own.”
“Olivia,” said Lacy, trying to come after me, but I held up a hand.
“Just don’t,” I said. “How could you have a whole wedding without me there? You didn’t give two fucks if I was left at the camp, did you?”
“I tried,” she said. “I promise you I did. I told myself you would be fine until help arrived.”
“No, I wasn’t fine,” I retorted. “I was raped. Not once or twice but multiple times and with multiple alphas. How about you do me a favor and leave?”
“Oh my god, I’m so fucking sorry,” she said, tears in her eyes now. “Olivia, please.”
“I’m serious,” I said, turning my gaze to trees before me. “I can’t talk to you. I can’t even look at you right now. Maybe one day I’ll get over it, but today’s not the day.”
“I’m so sorry,” she said, openly sobbing. “I knew this would happen. I begged my alphas, but no one would go back or even let me.”
I didn’t give a fuck right now. As I stalked off, my pulse thundered in my head, and my heart was pounding hard. I couldn’t think straight right now. I couldn’t think at all as I walked farther and farther away from the camp.

I parkedat Olivia’s house just like I did every evening. I would watch her through her bedroom window just to make sure she was okay every night.
Ian and Evan had no idea of my extracurricular activity, which was watching her at night.
But she wasn’t here today, and I was starting to get worried.
She wasn’t laying in her bed all day, in her pajamas, and she wasn’t pacing around anxiously, biting her nails with a pen in hand.Where could she have gone?I knew she wasn’t in the state of mind to go anywhere, and it was already the end of the day.
Getting out of my car, I walked towards the house.
I took in a deep breath before knocking on the front door. I had to think of something quick to say.
But the door opened, and her mother stood there with a happy smile on her face. I knew it was her mother because of the same oval-shaped eye structure that Liv had and her dark hair.
“Hello, how can I help you?” she asked.
