Chapter 150Lily's POV
"I have only one request."
The words rang in my ears like a curse.
My lips trembled as I snapped, "W…what? What do you want from me again?!"
His voice sank into a whisper, coiling around my spine like smoke, poisonous and sweet all at once.
"Just… don't fall in love with him. Don't fall in love with prince Devante"
Joe's words had haunted me the entire night, gnawing at the edges of my mind.
I lay in bed, staring into the darkness, the silence stretching endlessly. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Joe's face, his indifference when he'd seen me with Devante. No anger. No jealousy. Not even disappointment.
"You're going to keep playing the fool. Keep letting him believe he's winning you over. He's our ticket to the pack's weakness and to your mother."
His words haunted me the whole night.
He felt… nothing for me. My Joe is really gone.
