werac But then Jordan and his pathetic pack of lap dogs cornered him like vultures lighting over a carcass . My observation was interrupted . The mocking taunts . The way Seth sat there , unmoved , unbothered pissed me off for some reasons . Then Jordan made the mistake of grabbing his collar . I moved before I realised . Slamming my drink onto the table with a metallic crack that shut the entire room up . " How dare you let them bully you ? " I murmured , lifting his chin between my fingers . His skin felt delicate beneath my touch . His amber eyes widened in shock , The bell rang in the distance , sending the rest of the Alphas sprinting out of the cafeteria without a backward glance . Except Seth , he jerked his face away and rose with a small frown on his face . ― " What you've been doing since I arrived staring , touching , that's bullying too , Alpha Ronan ," he said calmly , stepping closer . " If you want me to deal with them , I should probably start with you , don't you think ? " For a brief , sharp moment , our eyes locked . But like usual he did not let my gaze linger on his longer . Before he turned away , grabbing his tray . I did not move away from his path . He brushed passed me too closely . I closed my eyes and inhaled in that moment . Once again the herbs and perfume . Nothing else . My wolf growled low in my mind , restless . " Who's that cocky little bastard you're letting roam around ? " Asher muttered , having leaned against the wall the entire time . " That's what I intend to find out . " I replied , eyes tracking Seth's retreating figure . Particularly the way his ass looked , even in those loose pants . " But for now let him think he could run ." I murmured . Let him think he could hide . Let him believe this was over . Let him imagine he could win , either this battle for the throne or the fire he'd just set between us . Because in my world , nothing stayed hidden for long- And if Seth Darven thought he could walk into my territory without answering to me … he was about to learn the hard way . As he reached the exit , he glanced back over his shoulder , meeting my gaze one final time . The corner of my lips curved into a cold , feral grin . " Run . little wolf ." Send Gifts
