Chapter 278
A laugh reached my ears and my stomach dropped. It couldn’t be. I swallowed the lump in my throat. He couldn’t be here, not in Texas, not standing behind me.
“Maybe she needs to watch where she’s going p>
It was, it was Tommy.
“She didn’t even move jackass p>
“Let’s just go”. I whispered.
“Not going to introduce me, Leah p>
“You know him?”. Alanna frowned.
A sigh fell from my lips as I turned to face him. He hadn’t changed one bit. Still as smug as the first day I met him. I couldn’t believe I was fooled by him. Him and his sweet smile. All lies.
He was nothing but a dog and it took for me to move away to realise that. He was no good for me. Isolated me from living my own life, my friends, everything. It got so bad he even influenced my decisions. But I wasn’t that girl anymore.
“What are you doing here Tommy p>
“Tommy?”. Alanna spoke. “So, you’re the ex-boyfriend”. She crossed her arms over her chest but not before pulling her phone from her purse.
“At your service sweet cheeks p>
I almost gagged at the wink he threw Alanna. She would eat him up and spit him back out. He had no idea what he had just walked into. The people here weren’t ones to be messed with. She made a face. “You’re disgusting p>
He didn’t like that. His face hardened, his hands balled into fists by his side.
“Bitch”. He hissed. “And you”. He looked me up and down. “Look a bit on the fat side Leah. Eating your feelings again babe p>
My heart sank at his words. Even after all this time I was still letting him get to me. He was nothing, I didn’t care about him and yet he still got under my skin.
How could I have been so stupid?
What did I ever see in him?
I really thought I loved him, and I thought he loved me to. Obviously, I was wrong. He didn’t care about me. He wanted to control me. I chewed the inside of my cheek to stop myself from crying. I was angry. At myself, at him.
He shouldn’t be here.
“Are you f g serious right now”. Alanna pulled me behind her. “Go back to wherever the hell you crawled out of before you get your ass beat p>
“What by two bitches”. He laughed.
Then I felt him, his presence, his wolf. My full body relaxed; my eyes closed at the feel of his hand against my back. He was here, he came because he knew I needed him.
That or Alanna had texted him. Either way I didn’t care.
It was the dark chuckle that shook me. He was more wolf than human right now and that was dangerous for everyone.
Carter was here to, standing beside Alanna his eyes fixed on Tommy. Was his wolf present also?
This wasn’t going to end well.
It was the first time I had ever seen Tommy scared. He was chalk white. I couldn’t help but feel smug about it. For once he knew what it felt like.
“You talking to my girl p>
His voice alone sent shivers down my spine.
“I She We p>
“The correct answer is fucking no”. He growled.
“Right, no I mean yes”. He scratched the back of his head. “I don’t want any trouble p>
“Funny that”. Carter spoke. “Because I’m pretty sure you were hassling our girls here p>
“I wasn’t”. He whispered.
I shouldn’t but I felt bad for him. Jake and Carter were terrifying. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. Their presence alone was frightening. I could feel the anger radiating from both and I knew there was nothing I could do or say that was going to make them back down.
“Best you leave town before I snap your fucking neck. I ever see you here again your done for. Understand?”. His claws were extending, his eyes now black.
Tommy ran, he ran, and he didn’t look back.
“So, that was the ex-boyfriend”. Jake spoke.
