Chapter 319

~Dristan’s POV~

For a long moment, I didn’t move. The air in my room felt like the walls were closing in on us.

My mind ran through every possible answer, every possible place she could be, and came up blank.

"I... don’t know," I admitted finally. The admission didn’t sit well. I was supposed to know where she was. We all were.

Kai’s jaw flexed, his eyes narrowing like he was fighting the urge to punch the nearest wall.

Axel exchanged a look with Xade, both of them silently gauging my reaction.

"We can’t just stand here," Kai snapped suddenly. "If she’s not answering, if she’s not here..."

"We check her dorm," Axel finished, already turning toward the door.

I hesitated for a beat, a strange mix of dread and urgency crawling over me, before I followed them out.

The four of us moved fast, heading for the female dorm.

When we reached the girls’ dorm room, I could already feel my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin. Kai was the first to knock, with sharp, hard raps against the door.

No answer.

"Valerie!" His voice carried down the hallway, but there was nothing on the other side but silence.

Xade stepped up next, trying the handle, but it was locked.

Emerald’s faint scent lingered in the air, mixed with Valerie’s and Isla’s, but it was stale like hours old.

Kai glanced at me. "We break it?"

I shook my head slowly, scanning the hallway. "Not yet. Let’s go back first. If she left with her roommates, maybe we’re overreacting. Maybe she just needs space."

"But..."

I held my palm to stop Kai from speaking, and then it occurred to me. "Wait, did anything happen between the two of you last night?"

Xade and Axel arched their brows, waiting for his reply, but Kai did not answer.

"Kai, aside from you being intimate with her earlier in the day, did you two have..."

"No."

"Are you absolutely sure?"

He bit back the urge to speak, raked his hand through his hair as his feet began pacing outside her room.

"Kai."

"Yes. Fine, we... we argued."

"About?"

"She wanted me. She wanted us to continue from where we left off in the afternoon before I left."

"Which was?" Xade asked slowly, as though the truth would break his heart even more.

"To have sex."

The silence that engulfed all of us was deafening. I knew what the others felt, but none of us could say anything.

"And?" Axel broke the silence. He gazed at Kai from the corner of his eyes, like someone who was not believing the words he was hearing.

"I refused. I refused her and she felt down."

Somehow, that shouldn’t have been the response he needed but none of us could help the sigh of relief that escaped our lips.

"I was going to apologise to her when Dristan saw me yesterday evening and this morning. Ever since then, I haven’t seen her."

"Then isn’t it evident she just wants space and cannot handle being in the same space as all of you?"

We all turned to the voice. Xander stood not too far from us, with his hands tucked in his pocket.

"What?" Kai voiced.

"I’m sure she’s embarrassed to face you guys and coupled with the fact that..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
