\u201cDid you turn them down?\u201d I asked him.<\/p>\n
His eyes flashed with something I couldn\u2019t quite read.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I did,\u201d he replied. \u201cDid you think I was going ot pick up women while here?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t put it past you,\u201d I admit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not that big of an asshole,\u201d he murmured, looking almost offended.<\/p>\n
\u201cDebatable,\u201d I teased.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s Irene?\u201d Sammy asked, glancing around the space.<\/p>\n
\u201cBathroom,\u201d Nan replied, still avoiding Chester\u2019s gaze.<\/p>\n
I frowned as I too looked around.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s been in there for a while,\u201d I said, noticing the time. \u201cMaybe she can\u2019t find us. I\u2019ll go look for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stand and Chester stands as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll come with you,\u201d he said a little too quickly.<\/p>\n
I knew he just needed some space from Nan, and this was his way of getting that.noveldrama<\/p>\n
I nodded and motioned for him to follow me.<\/p>\n
We weaved our way through the crowds of people and towards the secluded hallway that led to the bathroom. As we neared the hallway, my senses started to pick up on something and my heart began to race. Something was wrong\u2026 I could feel it deep in my bones and Chester could sense my growing anxiety.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d He asked with a frown.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething wrong,\u201d I said, quickening my pace.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you tell?\u201d<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t sure how to explain it; but it was like every bone inside me was screaming that something was wrong, and I needed to get to the source. Without replying, I raced through the halls until I neared the girl\u2019s room, and that was when I heard her.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease\u2026 let me go!\u201d She cried; her tone choked as sobs wracked her body. \u201cPlease\u2026\u201d she sounded defeated, like she was giving up her fight.<\/p>\n
My heart raced as I surged forward, my wolf nearly taking control entirely. I knew the voice to be Irene and then the male grunting was an unfamiliar sound, but it pissed me off entirely.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet back to Nan and Sammy and get them out of here,\u201d I called over my shoulder to Chester as I picked up my pace. \u201cThen call Gavin. Meet us out front!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait what?\u201d Chester asked.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t reexplain it to him, I burst through the bathroom door in time to see a man mounting Irene, who was nearly completely naked, her clothes ripped, though it didn\u2019t look like he had gotten very far with her.<\/p>\n
He quickly spun around; his eyes wide with shock. He had locked the door, and I burst through it with ease, so I understood his shock. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I was kicking him in the face, making him nearly fly across the room.<\/p>\n
Irene let out a choked sob as she grabbed what was left of her clothing and tried to cover herself, her hands and entire body trembling with fear. I didn\u2019t spare her a look though; I was too focused on the man in front of me. He was unfamiliar, and he reeked of alcohol. He was kind of good looking, so I could see Irene willingly talking to him, but then he clearly took things too far and I wasn\u2019t okay with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou caught me off guard,\u201d he growled, his eyes blazing with fury. \u201cI won\u2019t let that happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
He lunged at me, ready to fight but I was faster and oddly enough, stronger. I managed to get the best of him, making him fly across the room again. His head slammed off the tiled wall and his eyes, unfocused, were fixed on me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can do this all day,\u201d I said through my teeth. \u201cCome at me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho the hell are you?\u201d He asked, wincing in pain as he struggled to get to his feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m someone you seriously shouldn\u2019t fuck with,\u201d I growled.<\/p>\n
Before I could say anything more, gamma warriors were in the room, pinning him to the ground.<\/p>\n
One of the gammas knelt beside Irene and gave her his overcoat to cover her body. She thanked him as she wiped away her tears, her body still trembling. I wondered where the gammas were until this point and why they weren\u2019t watching their main target. I decided to not question them right now though.<\/p>\n
I grabbed Irene\u2019s hand and pulled her to her feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go,\u201d I told her firmly, pulling her out of the bathroom like I was some kind of mother figure.<\/p>\n
