Walking quickly up the steps that led to the front of The local College, I looked around to see if anyone else was late. But of course it was only myself. Once again.
Pushing into the double glass doors I was greeted by the office receptionist, Rita Jones.
"Good morning Ms. Anderson. Is everything okay this morning?"
Mrs. Jones was a 62 year old widow with no children and 3 cats whom she loved dearly, sat behind her U shaped desk in her pristine pants suit. She had taken me under her wing the first day I had enrolled in college 3 years ago, and had become the mother I had always wished for.
"Yes. Or well, it will be after I can get him to the doctor tomorrow." As I signed my name in the tardy book Mrs. Jones handed me my tardy slip and grabbed my left hand.
"It will all work out my dear. This I know." As she smiled at me I couldn't help but feel as if a little bit of the weight that has been on my shoulders lately had lifted. As weird as that sounded.
"Thank you so much. But I better go before Mr. Hampton gets antsy for dilly dallying" Smiling at her I turned and left the office.
But my smile quickly faded as I walked to class.
My younger brother, Brandon was diagnosed with Leukemia 4 years ago and it was a constant battle every single day. Thank god the government paid for his treatments because there was no way I would be able to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars it took to keep him alive.
As I was so deep in thought I completely ran into someone. Knocking all their books to the floor and myself as well. I fell right on my bad arm.
Hitting the ground I curled into a tight ball trying to block out the pain. I could hear someone talking to me but the pain was so intense. Finally after what felt like hours my vision cleared and I could finally focus on something other than the pain.
"Oh my god! I am SO sorry." I instantly knew that voice. Carlos Santiago was bent down beside me trying to help me to my feet when a loud growl erupted behind us.
It was so animalistic that I thought it was a wolf for a second until I remember I was at school.
Carlos ignored it and grabbed me by the waist to steady me on my feet.
"Are you okay? Do you need a doctor? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to run into you and make you fall. I wasn't paying attention and..." his voice run off as he took in the pain on my face.
"Carlos it's fine really. It's just as much my fault as it is yours but I do believe I'll go see the nurse. It's hurting pretty bad." As I am talking to Carlos I feel an anger run through me as if I myself were angry. But I knew I wasn't. It's was just weird.
Before Carlos could speak he was ripped away from my side and slammed up against the wall by his throat.
The man now standing in front of me was frightening. He was over 6 foot with broad shoulders and a gorgeous body. He was dressed in jeans with a black t-shirt that showed off his toned body.
"Give me ONE good reason why I shouldn't rip your throat out?" The handsome man holding Carlos by the throat spoke as if he was always in command.
"Kade!" Out of no where another larger than life man, with black hair appeared beside the man now known as 'Kade'. "Let him go. Your creating a scene! Plus she doesn't know..."
Whatever he meant by 'she doesn't know' snapped him right out of his raging fit. He quickly took a deep breath, blinked and let go of Carlos' throat. Even though his nostrils were still flaring he quickly stepped away from him.
"I will only ever say this, this once Santiago. Do. Not. Touch. Her." The venehm in his voice was evident. But the possessiveness was not something I understood. And he wasn't talking about me, was he?
"Yes, Alpha." Carlos quickly agreed and looked down at the ground away from Kades piercing eyes.
"Wait. What the hell just.." I wasn't able to finish my sentence because all of a sudden my vision blurred and my knees gave out.
Before I hit the floor large arms circled my waist and lifted me against a hard chest. Then everything went black.
Thank you to everyone that has decided to read my very first ever book! I'm new at this so if anyone has any pointers feel free to let me know and please be kind!! Again than you all from the bottom of my heart. 💜💜💜
