CRUELLA'S POV
As we left the hall, Jason took my hand in his and smiled handsomely at me. I felt my cheeks burn a bit, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I really thought I hated the idea of us being mates, but after spending time with him today, I'm actually starting to... like him? I'm not sure yet, but I know that I don't dislike him anymore. We walked that way, hand in hand, talking and laughing at the slightest joke. I was so comfortable with him, until...
“Cruella?” The moment I heard Sebastian's voice, instinct kicked in, and I yanked my hand out of Jason's hold. I could tell he was disappointed by my action even without seeing his expression, but I was more worried about how Sebastian would feel. I knew I had to tell him about Jason and Kyle soon, but I just didn't want to hurt his feelings.
