Chapter 67
With a jolt, I recognized her-Sophia Morris, Noah’s younger sister.
And I recognized the men too-they were friends of Noah, privileged young males who had been with him that night four years ago.
I retreated around the corner, heart pounding.

This wasn’t my problem. Getting involved with anything connected to the Morris family had already cost me four years of my life. I should walk
away, get Morgan, and leave.
“Follow your heart, Tracy sighed within me. You’ve never been one to walk away when someone needs help.
I closed my eyes briefly, knowing Tracy was right.
I couldn’t leave Sophia to face those predators alone, not when I knew exactly what they were capable of.
But confronting three aggressive males directly would be suicide for an Omega like me. I needed to be smarter than that p>
My gaze landed on the fire alarm mounted on the wall nearby, a small smoke detector positioned just above it.
A plan began forming in my mind p>
I made my way back to Morgan, who was now resting her head on the bar.
“Morgan, I need you to stay right here. Don’t move, okay? I’ll be back in five minutes p>
She mumbled something incoherent but didn’t try to get up.
I moved quickly to the hallway again, assessing the situation.
Sophia was now backed against the wall, her blouse partially torn.
The tallest Alpha-1 recognized him as Noah’s friend Trent-had his hand on the wall beside her head.
“Come on, sweetheart, he was saying, “your brother and I were tight. Consider this… honoring his memory p>
“Please, Sophia whispered, ‘I just want to go home p>
“We’re just getting started,” another male sneered, reaching for her arm.
I struck a match and held it under the smoke detector, just out of sight and the corner.
The alarm blared immediately, and sprinklers activated throughout the clit Screams and chaos erupted as patrons rushed toward the exits
“Fire!’ someone shouted nearby. Everyone out p>
Fuck this,’ Trent growled, wiping water from his face.
‘Let’s get out of here. You got lucky tonight, sweetheart, he sneered at sia. We ll finish our conversation another tite

“Move!” the second male shouted, pushing toward the exit. I’m not dying in this shithole p>
The third one glanced back at Sophia with a predatory smile. This isnter, Morris
They pushed past me without a second glance, joining the exodus. I rushed to Sophia, who was shaking and soaked from the sprinklers
“Sophia,” I said softly, it’s me, Tori. Let me help you p>
She looked up, recognition slowly dawning in her tear-filled eyes. “Tori? Sullivan p>
I nodded, slipping off my jacket and draping it around her shoulders. We need to go. Can you walk p>
She nodded mutely.
I guided her through the chaos to Morgan, who was now wide-eyed and more alert from the cold sprinkler water.
“What’s happening?” Morgan asked, wobbling as she stood.
“Fire alarm,” I explained, taking her arm. “We’re leaving. Now p>
Together, we made our way outside and away from the club. I ordered a car, and we huddled together on the sidewalk, waiting
“I can’t go home like this,” Sophia whispered, clutching my jacket around herself. “My mother will kill me p>
“You can stay in my dorm tonight, I offered. “Both of you p>
Back at my dorm, I gave Sophia some clean clothes and helped Morgan in dry ones.
Morgan promptly collapsed onto my bed, falling asleep instantly. Sophia sat on my desk chair, still trembling slightly.
“Should I call someone for you?” I asked. “Your family p>
She shook her head.

“My mom only cares about my brother, even now that he’s gone. And my ther…” her voice broke. He’s been in a coma since a accident last
week.
‘I’m sorry,” I said quietly.
“Everyone says I look like him,’ she whispered. ‘Noah, I mean. That’s why my mother cant stand to look at me p>
She glanced up at me. You remind me of someone too p>
“Who?
Ryan. He used to look out for me before… she trailed off, tears welling her eyes
