Lily POV
The words hit me like a punch to the gut. I froze, my hand hovering over a jar I’d been about to place on the shelf. “What?” I asked, unable to hide the surprise in my voice.
He was watching me closely now with a blank look on his face. “You heard me. Vanessa and Lucas are holding their mating ceremony soon. Guess he’s moved on from his little obsession with you.”
My stomach twisted. The idea of Lucas being with Vanessa felt… strange. I wasn’t jealous – far from it. But Vanessa was the exact opposite of who Lucas was. She was wild, the kind of wild I didn’t know if he could handle. They were so mismatched – different personalities and all.
Kai tilted his head, studying me. “You don’t seem too upset about it,” he remarked.
I shot him a strange look. “Why would I be? Lucas and I are ancient history.”
His smirk faded, replaced by a more serious expression. “Then why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”
