“Get over it,” Orion bellowed. “It’s done!”
“It’s not done! You’re real fucking high up on that horse, pretending you’re too good to lie, but you lied to all our faces about what you and Volana were really doing in that detention room. You reek of her!”
“It— It’s not— It wasn’t like that! She just started taking off her clothes. What the hell was I supposed to do!”
“Uhh, not fuck her, for one.”
Nia’s face was flicking through every variation of shock and astonishment. Our little adventure in detention hall would be all over the school by morning.
“Don’t give me that, Nyx. All she did was touch you and you creamed your pants. You have no idea how hard I had to hold my wolf back. You have no idea how—how—how good her pussy tastes!”
Heat bloomed in my cheeks, and the fire was only stoked my Nia’s brows shooting up. Despite my colorful past, I didn’t have so much sexual experience with men to know how to handle it when they said things like that.
Silence spread through the group. Until a tentative voice spoke up.
“How... How good does it taste?” Paxton asked.
Floor, if you want to open up and swallow me, that would be great.
“Like a cherry fucking sundae,” Orion ground out like the words physically pained him. “And her breasts are the perfect shape. Big enough to get a good handful while they smother you to heaven.”
Nia’s gaze had the audacity to flick off my face and travel down. I bared my teeth at her and she quickly looked away, but neither of us said anything. If we spoke, they would hear us, revealing that we could also hear them.
“And what else?” Nyx asked, hostility bleeding out of his voice.
“Her body is gorgeous.” It was all tumbling out of him. “Whatever you’ve been picturing, it’s a thousand times hotter. She looks so soft and breakable, but when you get ahold of her, it’s nothing but hard steel. She’ll more than take it when I pound that pussy—”
“Snap out of it,” Badr sliced in, saving my flaming cheeks. “You’re not pounding anyone’s pussy. None of us are. We’re letting the bonds die. We agreed.”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.” Orion sounded like he was coming out of a fog. “Right.”
“But why you?” Paxton demanded. And not me was left out of his question, but I heard the subtext.
“And why didn’t you get the fuck out of there?” asked Badr.
“She said she would take off her clothes for every question I answered about myself. I had no choice.”
Murmurs of agreement and sympathy passed through the fivesome. They didn’t disagree in the slightest that getting my clothes off was the only rational choice in that situation.
“All right, man, I get it,” Badr said. “She got in your head, because that’s what she does. It’s what all psychos do. They lie and manipulate and use to get what they want, and what she wants is to divide us... and then kill us.”
I heard footsteps. They were moving away.
“He’s right,” Nyx said. “She told all of Wolf Nation that we won’t be cooking up any super babies in her magic womb. She killed Castor to prove it. She’ll kill all of us too.”
“Next time she pulls something, you—”
A door slammed and cut off Badr’s sentence.
It was a weird and silent trip back to my dorm room. Even though I told her multiple times to scram, Nia followed me back as ordered.
Relief was too small a word for what I felt when I finally closed and locked my door behind me. I was sliding down onto the floor when a thought occurred to me.
“Oh, shit!” Sprinting across the room, I seized the bag under my bed, rescued my second phone and turned it on.
Lucia: Two Missed Calls
My phone lit up again that second, flashing her name. I answered it immediately. That was our system. If she called me three times and I didn’t answer, she’d hit the doomsday button.
“Lucia, it’s cool,” I cried. “Badr broke my other phone, but I’m fine now. The psycho’s loose.”
“That’s a pity,” she drawled. “Fuck’s sake. What’s it going to take for them to kill you already? Knowing you for five minutes should’ve proved that the wrath of the fae is worth shutting you up for good.”
“Will you shut the hell up, please! Five minutes with you and Badr would know I’ve been punished enough for a lifetime!”
Lucia laughed unrepentantly. “So how’d it go? Is Warren Hall dead?”
My scowl wiped away in a blink. Moving to the vanity, I flipped the revolving mirror and turned my grin to the paper taped to its side. “Oh, yeah, he’s dead,” I said, laughing as cold and unrepentant as Lucia. “And it wasn’t even a challenge. Not like the others will be.”
“Did you make sure to secure an alibi?”
