CHAPTER 405
~Valerie's POV~
"Heat? No, no. I'm just... ovulating. It happens to all girls. Completely normal hormonal thing."
Dristan's eyes narrowed. "Valerie—"
"Really, it's nothing important," I interrupted quickly, waving my hand dismissively. "Just my body doing its monthly thing. You know how it is."
I could tell they didn't believe me. The way they were all tensed and alert as they stared at me, made that painfully clear.
But I plastered on my brightest smile. "Look, I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine. Really. I just want to go home and take a nice bath. We'll see each other later this evening, okay?"
"Are you sure?" Axel asked in a soft, concerned voice. "We could walk you back. Make sure you're okay."
"I'm sure," I said firmly, taking another step back. "I promise. I just need some time alone."
