**Chapter 340**

**Third Person POV**

Back in the arena, the excitement of the island competition filled the air. A large screen displayed the event, and the crowd was buzzing with energy. It was day two of the competition, and Nan was glowing with enthusiasm.

She woke up early to watch the sunrise. Last night, she hadn’t enjoyed sleeping in the hotel suite alone. It made her feel lonely and overwhelmed with thoughts. But she reminded herself that this trip was important to Judy. This was the reason she had come here, and she knew that Nan would support her completely.

The arena was packed with people eager to see the competitors on the big screen. Drones swooped overhead, capturing the excitement of the island. Nan decided to go to the arena alone; she needed a break from Tyler and the girls. Spending time away felt like the perfect opportunity for her to relax.

Being around him has been tiring, and lately, he’s been giving her weird vibes. He’s been moody and showing signs of anger.

She looked down at the bruise on her arm from a few days ago when she told him she needed some space. She tried to think about what to do next.

She tried to walk away, but he grabbed her tightly and told her not to leave.

This frightened her; she had to admit that. She could see anger and violence in his eyes, and it sent a shiver down her spine. The look in his eyes filled her with fear and made her hesitate to walk away again.

She counted the days until she could leave this country and go back home. Being away from him felt tough, but the thought of home made her feel better.

Even with everything going on, home sounded really nice right now.

Her thoughts kept drifting back to Chester, her friend. He was the one who didn’t want her to leave.

She ran away from home because her heart hurt.

Thoughts of him filled her mind. She wondered what he was doing and who he was with. They weren’t close enough for her to feel anything when he was with other women. But still, she felt lost and alone.

Nan wondered if he was still with that maid or maybe Becca from the boutique. She was sure there were others too. He was the kind of guy who slept around without any cares. Nan didn’t think having a girlfriend would change that.

“Did he even know she wasn’t in the country?”

Her heart ached at the thought, and she struggled to hold back a sob.

“Hey, girl,” Mac said as he sat down next to her. His frown showed he could sense her sadness. “What’s wrong?”

“Have you seen Tyler? He’s really upset and looking for you.”

Nan’s face went pale. The thought of Tyler being upset made her uneasy. She rubbed the bruise on her wrist, recalling the last time he was hurt. It wasn’t a good memory.

Mac was nearby, sensing the tension. He stepped forward, trying to lighten the mood. “Hey, let’s find him together. I’m sure we can sort it out.”

Nan nodded, grateful for Mac’s support. She took a deep breath and prepared to face Tyler.

Nan didn’t seem to notice what was happening around her. She was focused on the big screen, leaning back in her seat and watching thoughtfully.

“I’ve been here. I just needed some space,” Nan admitted.

“Kelsey is trying to calm him down,” Mac said.

rolling her eyes. “He can be so dramatic sometimes.”

“Where is he?” Nan asked, looking around and trying to spot him.

“Right outside the arena,” she replied, pointing in that direction.

Nan nodded and stood up. She knew there was no point in letting Tyler make a scene because of her. She refused to let them embarrass her like that. It was time for her to cut ties with him and end this once and for all.

Determined, she began to walk away.

As she walked towards the entrance, she held her head high, trying hard to keep her nerves in check.

Even before she reached the doorway, she could hear shouting, and her heart sank into her stomach.

“You are acting…”

“Tyler, you’re being irrational,” Kelsey said, crossing her arms over her chest. “What is wrong with you?”

“I don’t like being lied to,” Tyler replied through clenched teeth.

“Nobody is lying to you,” Kelsey insisted.

Tyler looked frustrated. “Why do you think otherwise?” he asked.

“She told me she would be in her room, but she wasn’t,” he replied with a growl. “That’s literally the definition of lying.”

“Well, maybe her plans changed,” someone suggested, trying to calm him down.

Kelsey narrowed her eyes and said, “Why does it even matter?”

He opened his mouth to answer, but then his gaze shifted to Nan, who was standing by the arched doorway. His expression turned serious almost instantly.

Nan’s heart raced in her chest. How did she find herself in this situation in just a week? It had only been a little over a week since she met Tyler. But despite that short time, things had taken an unexpected turn. This wasn’t how she thought it would end up.

He was meant to be a distraction. Just some late-night fun while Judy was busy. But he turned out to be a monster, and that terrified her.

Kelsey turned and saw Nan, her eyes shining with sympathy.

”

“He’s all yours,” Kelsey said with a sigh. “Maybe you can calm him down and talk some sense into him?”

She walked past Nan and headed through the arched door, looking for Mac. This left Nan and Tyler alone together.

There was a moment of silence as they exchanged glances, unsure of what to say next.

There were still a few people around, but most of the crowd was in the arena watching the live stream. Tyler, however, wanted to be alone with her. Without even saying a word, he took hold of her wrist and led her away.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her along with him. It was the same wrist he had held before, and the spot he squeezed was already bruised and sore from his grip, making her wince. “Come with me,” he demanded, his voice harsh.

Nan’s heart raced in her chest.

Her chest felt tight, but she didn’t argue. It was better for them to talk alone anyway. Inside her, her wolf stirred, as if she were about to shift for some unknown reason. But Nan held her down, trying to calm both herself and her friend.

Tyler was pulling her along like a dog, and she felt a wave of anxiety. It was a strange mix of feelings, but she couldn’t help it.
