Chapter 33

At the same time, it wasn’t fair. Zel was giving Mike something that Lily couldn’t, no matter what form she took. The two of them were now inextricably linked by the bonds of parenthood.

It also didn’t help that she was mad at Zel’s unborn child. When the baby came, it would strip away even more of Mike’s limited attention. How the hell was she supposed to compete with a child? It wasn’t like she could admit it. Being a bitch was an artform, one that she excelled at. But this matter was petty and sad at best, and she hated that she had no control over it.

“You okay?” Zel frowned at Lily. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mention Velvet so casually. I forgot what she meant to you.”

“What?” Lily shook her head. “I just have resting bitch face. I’m fine.”

“You’re crying.”

Lily touched her cheek and discovered it was wet. She snorted, then wiped it away. “It’s probably just water that got splashed on me.”

“It’s not, and you know it.” Zel crossed her arms.
