Chapter 8

 

Ashton

I was sitting on the huge bed in Lilly's room. Her hand was in mine, blush still persistent on her face as we talked about nothing in particular. We went downstairs at first, but I quickly figured out I could have no decent chat with her with the other girls literally trying to rub on me.

I liked the shy girl that kept blushing every time my skin touched hers. She was different from the other girls that just wanted to make out and have power. She was the daughter of the Beta from the Blake's pack too. I found it surprising I hadn't met her before.

As we talked I was more and more sure that I liked her. But there was one more thing I wanted to try before I was sure I could try dating her. “Lilly...” I whispered, letting go of her hand only to spray my fingers on the skin of her cheek. It seemed to be burning. I slowly bent forward. Bringing our lips and inch away. Her breaths got shorter and faster as I prepared to bring my lips down on hers.

Sadness and pain. Despair and darkness.

 They washed over me in a potent wave that made my flinch. I knew in the same instant that it all belonged to Belle. I immediately sprang off the bed, leaving Lilly shocked on the bed.

I cursed when I saw that my sudden action left a trace of hurt on her face. “I’m sorry. I felt someone get hurt. I have to go check it out, stay here.” I explained quickly, not wanting to leave with no explanation. After all, she might end up as my mate.

Her composure changed to concern immediately. I could tell she was genuinely concerned, and it made me smile. “It’s okay, go find the person that needs help.” She encouraged me and perched herself on the bed more comfortably. “I’ll be here.” She smiled and I nodded, grateful, having no doubt any other girl would have been back downstairs trying to catch the eye of another Alpha male by now.

“Thanks, I’ll be back as soon as possible.” I promised, quickly pecking her cheek before I dashed out of the room. I could still feel it. The feelings that emitted from Belle. It wasn’t like her. She was always so upbeat. I knew those couldn’t have been a product of a single second. To be as strong as that, they had to be bottled up for a while.

I quickly rushed downstairs, quickly spotting Cameron surrounded by a crowd of girls that were all over him. Literally. It was disgusting just looking at it. I roughly pushed them away, growling as I fought my way over to him.

He looked at me in surprise as I grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him away, dragging him outside. “What the fuck man?!” He hollered. He quickly grabbed my hand and pushed me away. I didn’t even stumble as I crashed him into the wall.

“What did you do to her?!” I growled, restraining myself from ripping his ugly face off.

“I didn’t do anything!” He growled, pushing me back. “That little bitch is no problem of mine. You deal with her. You’re her best friend, no?”

“Someone hurt her, badly. And who do you think has a history of doing it? Ay?” I growled, narrowing my eyes at him.

“I don’t give a fuck!” He shouted. “I didn’t touch her or talk to her! I would like to have her in my bed for a night, sure. But I wouldn’t degrade myself to ruining a life of a nobody that was banished anyway. She’s not even good enough to be in my pack!”
