"Tell me Calista was full of shit," I said.
But Reid just said nothing.
"Tell me she made the whole fucking thing up."
He swallowed. "...Rhys."
"No."
I jabbed a finger into his chest.
"Don't start with my bloody name."
"Just listen to me."
I laughed once, and it sounded ugly.
"I sat and stood in front of the entire fucking Assembly while that bitch stood there telling everyone there you slept with my mate."
My chest felt like it was trying to split open.
"So..." I looked him dead in the eye. "Tell me she lied."
But Reid didn't answer. His jaw tightened. His eyes dropped for half a second.
That was all it took.
"...Rhys."
I felt something inside me snap.
"What she said..."
He took a slow breath.
"...happened."
The hallway disappeared.
All I could hear was the blood pounding in my ears.
"You..." I stared at him. "...You fucked my mate?"
His face twisted. "It wasn't like that."
"The fuck it wasn't!"
My voice hit every wall in the house.
"It wasn't our choice."
