Bloom just heard a rumor from Elizabeth that you're not going to like

Me

What is it?

Maverick's response took longer than it should've.

I took a vicious bite of my apple, hoping it would distract me from what I really wanted to put my mouth on.

Me

Just tell me

Maverick

It's pretty bad

Me

You’re so fucking dramatic

Maverick

Apparently Harper told Cora and Lana that you cleaned Ryker's cum out of Harper with your fingers and tongue, then replaced his with yours

I stared down at the screen.

Harper had lied to them about us having sex.

What could her motivation possibly be?

Maverick

Some of the guys in the pack are making bets as far as who can talk her into spending breeding season with them now

That could just be a rumor… but it wasn't.The pack didn't do rumors like that.

Whoever had started the betting was fucking dead.

Me

Did I not make myself clear enough in the hallway?

Maverick

I'm sure you did

I set my apple down on the countertop, no longer hungry.

Maverick

Are you going to spend breeding season with her?

Me

No

I’ll figure something else out
