“He didn’t do anything wrong” I screamed. Dropping beside Brent and pulling him towards me.
“Oh, dear” I heard Grandma Zoe say before running over to us. She pulled off her apron, handing it to me. She glanced at the Alpha before turning her attention back to Brent. Brent was completely unconscious.
“Help me get him inside”
“Leave him” The Alpha’s voice laced with his anger. I looked at him and his eyes were pitch black; his breathing hard as he tried to reign in control of his beast.
“I am not leaving him here” I said. Looking down the alleyway.
The Alpha growled at me; I had to fight the urge to put my head down and submit. He was furious, and I could tell he wanted to kill Brent. I started pulling him to his feet. He was dead weight and bloody heavy. Grandma also helped when suddenly his weight was gone. Alpha Damien grabbed him, throwing him over his shoulder before placing him back in his car. He pulled his phone out and sent a text. His phone binged a second later.
“Aria is coming to get him” He said before walking over and grabbing my elbow.
“We are leaving” I shook my head, trying to pull my arm from his grip, which only tightened.
“I am not going anywhere with you; I am not leaving my friend” I tell him.
“Either you come with me now Lily or I fucking kill him”
I didn’t answer. He wouldn’t, would he? When I didn’t answer he walked back toward the car, opening the door. I scrambled after him, putting myself in front of him and Brent, blocking him from hurting him more.
“Okay, okay just don’t hurt him” I said, my hands on his chest trying to hold him back. I could feel his entire body shaking with rage. I looked toward Brent, who was slumped over the steering wheel. A tear escaping at seeing him so injured and broken. It was my fault, I should have known better than to involve him.
“You will cry over him but have no feeling toward me” The Alpha growled loudly, making Layla force her way forward. I could feel her peering out, trying to figure out what had upset her beloved mate.
“What did you do Lily?” She asked, panicked.
“Nothing,” I said, rolling my eyes at her. The Alpha was staring down at me still, his arms folded across his chest. He suddenly grabbed me, pulling me back through the diner and towards the car.
“Say goodbye we are leaving” Zoe was standing behind him having followed us. She quickly came over and hugged me, squeezing me tightly.
“Please, Lily, give it a chance. Stop running from it, what have you got to lose?” She whispered softly. I felt tears brim before I felt Damien’s hand on my waist. She let go and stepped back. I see Aria's car pull up behind ours. Reid hopped out with her. She ignored me, going to tend to Brent. I could see how angry she was at me. Reid stopped and kissed my head softly.
“Behave Lily, you’re only making things worse for yourself” He said before shaking the Alpha’s hand and going to help Aria, I watched as he kissed grandma’s cheek softly on his way past, before walking inside.
Alpha Damien opened the door. “Get in the car”
I glared at him. “Now lily, it wasn't a choice” He glared back at me, making me shiver. I hopped in the car.
Alpha Damien jumped in the driver’s seat and started the car.
“You ever pull a stunt like that again Lily” He didn’t finish that sentence. He was angry, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel so hard, I thought it would snap under the pressure. He pulled away from the curb before speeding off towards the highway.
“Don’t ever run from me again,” I turned and looked out the window.
“Understood Lily?” He growled out when I didn’t answer, ripping the car off the road and stopping again.
Chapter 9
I jerked forward in my seat, nearly slamming into the dash. Damien’s hand snaked out just before my head connected with it, shoving me backwards into my seat. The air being knocked out of me.
“What the fuck is wrong with you, you got what you want. I’m in the car now, leave me alone” I was going to say more, yet the look on his face would have made the grim reaper fear him. I squirmed in my seat under his intense gaze. He unclicked my seatbelt. Panic set in as he ripped me from my seat and onto his lap awkwardly. I had nowhere to go, his arms wrapped so tightly around my waist, I could feel his fingers bruising my soft skin.
I placed my hands awkwardly on his chest, feeling his body shaking underneath mine. His breathing came fast. I could feel my shirt riding up, his grip loosening. One of his hands ran up the inside of my shirt, making my breath hitch when his skin came in contact with mine. His other hand moving up my back and curling around my hair ripping my head back. I hissed at the pain and felt Layla stir to life coming forward almost purring.
His hand on my breast, squeezing so hard it was almost painful. If it wasn’t for the sparks from his skin touching mine. I am sure I would have screamed in pain. Feeling his breath on my neck made me shiver before his lips moved to my neck, his teeth grazing the sight where a mark would lay. Hearing his low possessive growl made fear consume me, as his lips hungrily devoured my skin. My mind was screaming at me, that he was about to mark me, yet my body liked the way he manhandled me.
When I felt his grip on my hair tighten, I moaned involuntarily, and could feel my panties dampen. His canines protruding pressing against my skin bring me back the fear of being marked. My words blurted out in panic.
