Chapter 46

“What did you get? Anything special for a special person maybe?” She points to the very feminine
shopping bags the twins held then clasps her hands in front of her twisting back and forth at the
waist like an excited little kid. Maybe she thinks it’s cute and innocent looking. She really just looks a
little unhinged.
“Just some birthday gifts, no big deal.” Cam says again trying to turn. She grabs his elbow, she
seems to only touch him. At least when I see them interact. Interesting.
“aut my birthday was months ago, silly…” She pats his arm and reaches for Dakota, but he moves
away. Giving me a direct line of sight to her. She trails off finally noticing Sierra and I behind him.
“WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE WITH YOU?’ Her fakely sweet voice changes to one of
angry menace in a flash. Her manicured claws fly to her hips. Her perfectly shaped eyebrows
looked strange, smashed down in a scowl, her whole face going red
The guys all move faster than I thought possible surrounding me, which to an outsider might look
strange With all of the bags they are holding. Cam and Kota are in front, between Kaley and the rest
of the group. Oliver stands directly in front of me, Sierra stays at my side, her arm still linked with
mine, and Mateo is on the other. Sam steps behind me sandwiching me between him and Oliver
giving me only
inches of space to breathe.
On instinct I place the palm of my free hand lightly on
Oliver’s back at the same time Sam places his on my right shoulder and Mateo touches my left
shoulder and I instantly relax. I feel the taught muscles in Olivers back do the same with the
contact.
It took me a minute to realize what they did, though and I don’t know how I feel about it. I can
protect myself and fight, but at the same time she is a different kind of threat We all recognized it
and they naturally went into a protection stance. What I find interesting was there was no hesitation
on whether it was me or Sierra that Kaley referred to. That is something Sierra and I will have to talk
about later. Now I have to focus. I’m too short to see around them, but don’t miss the rest of the
conversation.
“She has no business being anywhere with the two of you, am your girlfriend. I demand that you
leave with me, you are just embarrassing yourselves with her.” Kaley screams. Does she not
understand she is the one causing a scene all by herself right now? This mall is not just
werewolves, it has humans too and they don’t know about us, what the hell is she thinking having
her meltdown here? I hope she can’t shift yet, we will be in trouble if she does out in public with
humans,
“Understand this. You do not demand anything from us, are we clear? Dakota asks with a hard
edge to his voice, clearly a warning. That was a new sound to me. His usually jovial
voice is only outdone by Sam’s.
“No! What we do is our business. Who we choose to spend time with is our business. And where
we choose to spend time is our business, not yours. You are not our girlfriend.
Change your tone and watch how you address all of us. Disrespect will not be tolerated.” Cameron
finished, the same harsh demand in his voice. “Let’s go.” He commands our group, I assume, I still
can’t see sh*t. Wow, Sierra was right, being around the guys has made my language more colorful.
She spins me around, keeping me in the center of the group and I notice the guys don’t break
formation around me although they at least spread out enough for me to move comfortably, Sam
leading us out. Sierra still has my arm though, playing with all of the straps of my new bracelets
absentmindedly. It must make her relaxed.
