AZURA.

I left the lift, but he was nowhere in sight, but that wasn’t going to deter me. I followed his scent, my eyes blazing as the image of Jackie’s bruises flashed in my mind.

I looked around, sniffing the air, following my nose around the side of the apartment before breaking into a jog, just in time to see him disappear behind another building. I looked back at the streetlights and wondered where he was going.

“Emmet!” I shouted as I rushed to catch up.

I turned the corner and saw him about to enter the dark building, but he stopped when I called him.

“Azura?” He looked surprised to see me. “Didn’t you leave?”

I guess he really didn’t see me upstairs.

“Oh, I came back.” I replied, walking over to him.

And I’m f*****g glad I did.

His eyes narrowed as if suddenly suspicious of why I was here, his expression darkened, and he looked me over. “Why are you following me?”

“Because I was right there when you stormed out of your apartment, right before I saw the marks on Jackie’s neck.” I replied, looking him square in the eye.

“Look here, I don’t know what the f**k you want, but what I do is none of your goddamned business.

Stay out of this. Remember you and your kind are not f*****g welcome here.” He spat.

“My kind? We are all f*****g werewolves, you dumb d**k. We are f*****g one, and even if weren’t, there shouldn’t be f*****g discrimination.”

Ok, Azura you are going off-topic.

“You know… I checked, and there’s only one f*****g Azura, and she’s a Westwood. I wonder if Leo even

realised or was he so busy with work he didn’t even know who he was helping.”

“Oh whatever, that s**t won’t work. Leo knows I’m a Westwood, this isn’t about who I am but what you f*****g did. Do Leo or Marcel know that the Delta is an abuser?” I shouted, my anger rising at his lack of care.

He scoffed stepping closer to me threateningly.

“Only thing is, it’s your word against mine and Jackie’s. Trust me, she won’t rat me out… So you think Leo will ever listen to an Elit

I punched him across his irritating -as-f**k face, cutting him off. His eyes flashed menacingly as he cupped his jaw, glaring at me with pure hatred.

“I don’t care who listens and who doesn’t, but if you think you can just abuse your mate and get away with-”

He raised his hand, but before he could even grab or do whatever the f**k he planned to do, I knocked

his hand away.

“Then you’re wrong.” I finished ” And I am not Jackie, who will f*****g sit by and allow you to touch me.”

“What you going to do, run to your big brother?” Emmet growled mockingly.

“No, I’ll just break your f*****g arms myself.” I hissed as he grabbed hold of my arm, shoving me against the wall, but I was

ready; kicking him on the shin and trying to push him back but he was f*****g strong

And so am I.

He swore, as he managed to grab hold of my arm twisting it behind my back and was about to do the very f*****g same move that Leo

had almost done on me, I raised my feet jamming them against the wall. Jarring pain rushed through my legs before I used all my force and pushed back. At the same time, slamming my head back against Emmet’s nose as hard as I could before I flipped up and over behind him and kicked him square in the centre of his back.

Bet that hurt like a b***h in heat.

He swore as he stumbled, spinning around and recovering pretty fast.

“You may be the Delta of an impressive pack, but I’m the daughter of two of the best Alphas out there. You are no match for me.

“Daughter, yeah right. We all know you aren’t their real daughter.” He scoffed, wiping blood from his nose.

He did not just go there.

“Blood alone doesn’t make you family, I don’t care who conceived me, I am their daughter. Take it back.” I threatened quietly.

He smirked, realising he had hit a nerve.

“Then stay the f**k out of my business b***h!”

It took my f*****g all not to do worse, Jackie said not to tell the Alpha… Marcel was Alpha, not Leo … right?

“The moment you hurt her, you made it my business. I don’t know what the hell this pack is, or their rules but I don’t believe that Alpha Marcel would allow abuse here.” I turned ready to storm off when he

was suddenly behind me grabbing my hair and twisting me around to face him.

I hissed at the pain in my head, reaching out and digging my claws into his face in defence.

He let out a blinding roar, slamming me with full force into the far wall, but I didn’t let go, digging my claws further into his face and pulling him with me.

Yup here are two facts. I’m a psychotic b***h and he may need stitches considering I just ripped his face up but I sure as f**k don’t

care.

His fist connected with my jaw, and I was forced to let go of him, my head snapping sideways.

Something cricked and I bit my lip, fighting back a groan of pain as I

elbowed him in the neck, just as he shoved me to the ground. I landed on my a*s bringing my legs up and shieling my stomach, just in time to block his vicious kick.

Was he aiming to hurt but not to make me bleed? If he was… then he was smart but not f*****g smart enough. When he aimed another kick, I blocked with my arm, his boot scraping the skin and I felt something crack

He was attacking blindly, clearly, he wasn’t used to being hit back. I knocked his feet from under him, making him fall to the ground.

B*****d.

I took the chance, jumping on top of him, as I straddled him, grabbing his shirt in my fist, ready to punch him.

“Oi! What’s going on!” We both turned sharply to see none other than Emmet’s older brother, Eric.

He looked between us, worry and confusion on his face as he ran and pulled me off Emmet. He looked us over, clearly unsure what to make of it, frowning deeply.

I’m sure Emmet looked worse off… I had dug my nails into his cheeks and I had messed it up bad, not to mention the b****y nose.

“What on earth is this?” Eric growled again.

Gone was the cute teddy bear, shame I liked him better happy, but I guess we can all become psychos when needed to.

“She attacked me out of nowhere.” Emmet growled.

“Oh?” I challenged.
