My fists curl into fists.
“He said he can’t wait to help me during my next heat. Soon I’ll have all your alphas.”
She and her friends burst into laughter.
I lunge at her and grab her long jet-black ponytail. She squeals as I yank her to the floor.
“You’ve always wanted what belonged to me. I guess now you got him. I could never be with a dusty ass cheater.”
I shove my foot into her chest, and her head smacks the wooden floor. Turning on my heels, I storm out of the auditorium.
At lunch I usually sit with the guys. I can’t look at Dustin right now. Shit, but I need to ask him about Sarah.
I approach the football players' lunch table.
“Dustin, I need to talk to you. It’s important.”
His teammates crack jokes. “Dustin, you’re in trouble.”
They chuckle.
He grabs my hand and pulls me toward the exit. “What’s going on?”
Before I can say a word, my voice sounds over the intercom. “He’s a dusty ass cheater.”
It plays on a loop. Dustin turns to me. “What the fuck? You called me a dusty ass cheater. Is this some sort of joke?”
Part of my statement had been cut out. That fucking bitch.
“No, Sarah said you helped her through her heat.”
“I didn’t touch her. But you just took her word for it?” The hurt in his green eyes breaks me.
“Dustin, I didn’t. That’s why I came to talk to you.” Uncontrollable tears glide down my caramel cheeks.
He yanks his red tie loose and places his palms on top of his raven hair. His muscles strain against the navy uniform jacket. “After you called me a dusty ass cheater.”
He turns away from me for a second.
“I didn’t say those exact words,” I cry out.
“That’s your voice Harper,” he roars. “Isn’t it?”
I try to choke back the tears. “Yes,” I mutter.
“Now you don’t have to worry about being with me and the guys,” he yells and walks off.
Dustin just broke my heart into a million pieces.
Archer appears. “That was fucked up, Harper.”
Sawyer and Thatcher shake their heads as they walk past me.
I can’t believe I lost them. My alphas. My future pack.
