Chapter 0369

Did you turn them down?" I asked him.

His eyes flashed with something I couldn't quite read.

"Of course I did," he replied. "Did you think I was going ot pick up women while here?"

I shrugged.

"I wouldn't put it past you," I admit.

"I'm not that big of an asshole," he murmured, looking almost offended.

"Debatable," I teased.

"Where's Irene?" Sammy asked, glancing around the space.

“Bathroom,” Nan replied, still avoiding Chester's gaze.

I frowned as I too looked around.

"She's been in there for a while," I said, noticing the time. "Maybe she can't find us. I'll go look for her."

I stand and Chester stands as well.

"I'll come with you," he said a little too quickly.

I knew he just needed some space from Nan, and this was his way of getting that.

I nodded and motioned for him to follow me.

We weaved our way through the crowds of people and towards the secluded hallway that led to the bathroom. As we neared the hallway, my senses started to pick up on something and my heart began to race. Something was wrong... I could feel it deep in my

bones and Chester could sense my growing anxiety.

"What is it?" He asked with a frown.

"Something wrong,” I said, quickening my pace.

"How can you tell?"

I wasn't sure how to explain it; but it was like every bone inside me was screaming that something was wrong, and I needed to get to the source. Without replying, I raced through the halls until I neared the girl's room, and that was when I heard her.

"Please... let me go!" She cried; her tone choked as sobs wracked her body. "Please..." she sounded defeated, like she was giving up her fight.noveldrama

My heart raced as I surged forward, my wolf nearly taking control entirely. I knew the voice to be Irene and then the male grunting was an unfamiliar sound, but it pissed me off entirely.

"Get back to Nan and Sammy and get them out of here," I called over my shoulder to Chester as I picked up my pace. "Then call Gavin. Meet us out front!"

"Wait what?" Chester asked.

I didn't reexplain it to him, I burst through the bathroom door in time to see a man mounting Irene, who was nearly completely naked, her clothes ripped, though it didn't look like he had gotten very far with her.

He quickly spun around; his eyes wide with shock. He had locked the door, and I burst through it with ease, so I understood his shock. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I was kicking him in the face, making him nearly fly across the room.

Irene let out a choked sob as she grabbed what was left of her clothing and tried to cover herself, her hands and entire body trembling with fear. I didn't spare her a look though; I was too focused on the man in front of me. He was unfamiliar, and he reeked of

alcohol. He was kind of good looking, so I could see Irene willingly talking to him, but then he clearly took things too far and I wasn't okay with that.

"You caught me off guard," he growled, his eyes blazing with fury. "I won't let that happen again."

He lunged at me, ready to fight but I was faster and oddly enough, stronger. I managed to get the best of him, making him fly across the room again. His head slammed off the tiled wall and his eyes, unfocused, were fixed on me.

"I can do this all day," I said through my teeth. "Come at me!"

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, wincing in pain as he struggled to get to his feet.

"I'm someone you seriously shouldn't fuck with," I growled.

Before I could say anything more, gamma warriors were in the room, pinning him to the ground.

One of the gammas knelt beside Irene and gave her his overcoat to cover her body. She thanked him as she wiped away her tears, her body still trembling. I wondered where the gammas were until this point and why they weren't watching their main target. I

decided to not question them right now though.

I grabbed Irene's hand and pulled her to her feet.

"Let's go,” I told her firmly, pulling her out of the bathroom like I was some kind of mother figure.
