“Did you turn them down?” I asked him.

His eyes showed a flash of something I couldn’t quite understand.

“Of course I did,” he replied. “Did you think I was going to pick up women while I was here?”

I shrugged.

“I wouldn’t put it past you,” I said.

“I’m not that big of an asshole,” he murmured, looking a bit offended.

“Debatable,” I teased.

“Where’s Irene?” Sammy asked, glancing around the room.

“Bathroom,” I replied.

Nan replied, still avoiding Chester’s gaze.

I frowned as I looked around too.

“She’s been in there for a while,” I said, noticing the time. Maybe she can’t find us. I’ll go look for her.

I stood up.

Chester stood beside me, looking a bit anxious.

“I’ll come with you,” he said a little too quickly.

I understood that he needed some space from Nan, and this was his way of getting it. I nodded and gestured for him to follow me.

We weaved through the crowd, making our way to a quieter spot.

We made our way through the crowd, heading towards a quiet hallway that led to the bathroom. As we got closer, I started to sense that something was off. My heart began to race, and I felt uneasy. Something was wrong… I could feel it deep inside me.

Chester noticed that I was getting more anxious.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, frowning.

“Something’s not right,” I replied, picking up my pace as we walked.

“How can you tell?”

I wasn’t sure how to explain it, but it felt like…

Every part of me felt something was wrong, and I needed to find out what it was. Without saying a word, I rushed through the halls until I got close to the girls’ room. That’s when I heard her.

“Please… let me go!” she cried out.

She cried, her voice thick with emotion as sobs shook her body. “Please…” she said, sounding defeated, as if she was ready to give up her fight.

My heart raced as I moved closer, feeling my wolf wanting to take over completely. I recognized that voice; it was filled with pain and hopelessness.

Irene heard a strange male grunt that annoyed her completely.

“Chester!” she shouted over her shoulder, quickening her pace. “Get back to Nan and Sammy and bring them out of here!”

“Then call Gavin,” Chester replied. “Meet us at the usual spot.”

“Us out front!”

“Wait, what?” Chester asked, confused.

I didn’t have time to explain. I burst through the bathroom door just in time to see a man on top of Irene, who was almost completely naked.

Her clothes were torn, but it didn’t seem like he had gotten very far with her.

He quickly turned around, his eyes wide with shock. He had locked the door, but I burst through it easily. So, I…

He was in shock. Before he could understand what was happening, I kicked him in the face, sending him almost flying across the room.

Irene let out a choked sob. She quickly grabbed what was left of her clothing and tried to cover herself with her hands.

My whole body shook with fear. I didn’t even glance at her, too focused on the man standing in front of me. He was a stranger, and he smelled strongly of alcohol. He was somewhat attractive, so I could understand why Irene might be talking to him willingly. But then he…

clearly not ready for that. I didn’t like where this was going.

“You surprised me,” he growled, his eyes burning with anger. “I won’t let that happen again.”

Before I could respond, he lunged at me, prepared to fight. But I was already backing away, trying to create some distance between us.

I felt faster and, strangely enough, stronger. I managed to get the best of him, sending him flying across the room once again. His head hit the tiled wall hard, and his eyes, unfocused, stared right at me.

“I can do this,” he said.

“All day,” I gritted through my teeth. “Come at me!”

“Who the hell are you?” he asked, wincing in pain as he tried to stand up.

“I’m someone you really shouldn’t mess with,” I replied firmly.

I growled in frustration. Before I could say anything else, a group of gamma warriors rushed into the room and pinned him to the ground.

One of the warriors knelt beside Irene and offered her his overcoat to cover her. She thanked him as she wiped her tears away.

I could feel Irene’s body still shaking. I wondered where the gammas were and why they weren’t watching their main target. But I decided not to question them right now.

I took Irene’s hand and helped her to her feet.

“Let’s go,” I said.

I pulled her out of the bathroom firmly, feeling a bit like a mother figure.
