Dude ispissed.Whoever this girl was, she deserved a damn medal.
Girls unite!
“She’s been through the ringer, no thanks to you,” Sarah scoffed as she helped me to stand.The room was still spinning, and I was still shaky and hot.
“You can’t just go around plucking girls like...like—”
“She can save you, Sarah...”he bit.
Save her?
What the?
I can barely save myself!
Randy pursed his lips.The rest of the pack had gone, and it was just the three of us.
“Please, give us some privacy.Sheneedscare,” Sarah said, quieter now, her gaze imploring asshole alpha Randy’s.
Randy looked as if he wanted to protest, but thought better of it.
“I swear, Sarah, if something happens to you—” He moved forward and I half expected him to grab me, or push her, or...
But all he did was set his forehead against hers, his eyebrows furrowing as pain crossed his expression.
No, not pain, love.
Was she his girlfriend?
What the hell, she’s like...my age...and he’s got to be, what?
At least thirty?
I twisted my lips in disgust, but a part of me was jealous.
Sarah’s entire body loosened as he looked at her, her bright blue eyes imploring him.
The way he looked at her, the gentleness of his kiss against her forehead...
I wished I’d experienced something like that.
Somewhere in the depths of my psyche, there was a sense of déjà vu.
But I knew I’d never been in love.
I’d never even had a boyfriend.God, I was a sorry excuse for a seventeen year old.
Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend.
Never left the town of Jasper Springs...
The last thought felt...off.
Like perhaps I was wrong, but...
“I am not as delicate as you think, Randy.I can take care of myself...and this lost soul.Now go.If I need you, I will call.”
It seemed like forever until Randy left, closing the door behind him.
