Back and Better book novel Chapter 10

Chapter Ten “A game of seduction”

Amira POV “You’ve got to be f*****g kidding me!” I yell through the phone at Samantha. it’s 7am and she just called me to tell me that Christian and his men will also be attending school. “They’re Seniors, Amira. It would only make sense that they continued their schooling here. I swear profusely. “This is f*****g bullshit.” I say. “Can I do anything for you?” She asks. Samantha’s always been supportive and I’ll always love her for it.

“No. I’m going to go out and get breakfast from the café across the street before coming back and thinking on what to do, so I might be a bit late. But I’ll be fine” I assure her.

“Okay. I love you” she says. “Love you too. Bye.”

As soon as I hang up the phone I let out a loud shout to get out my anger. All the larger suites are soundproofed, so I don’t need to worry.

I decide to just go to school, and pick up breakfast on the way from a starbucks. No teacher will reprimand me for eating/ drinking in class.

My outfit for the day is pretty bland, but still manages to look good on me. White off the shoulders crop top, black skinny jeans, and black and white vans. I put on some highlighter on my collar bones and cheek bones just for the hell of it grab my car keys and backpack, and head out.

On the way to school t stop by a Starbucks drive through, going with my signature order-chai tea latte with a shot of espresso and two slices of lemon loaf.

I end up getting to school about a half hour early, at 8am. Idecide on heading to the library to read for a little bit.

After grabbing what I need for the day from my locker and deciding to leave my backpack in it, I head to the library. Much to my dismay, however, thear two familiar voices coming from inside the library.

Christian and Erebus.

Of course, being me, I decide to listen in on the conversation. I stay at the door of the library, just out of sight, and try to hear as much as possible.

“Yeah, I agree. She probably has a third mate out there somewhere. Anyways, she’s bound to come around to us at some point but if it isn’t within the next few days we may need to forcefully mark her.” Christian’s voice echoes through the library and into the hallway.

“What about her powers?” Erebus questions.

“We’re her mates. As soon as physical contact is made we can negate her powers, and easily restrain her. Plus / know a few witches who can enchant ropes and handcuffs so that even she won’t be able to break out of them.” Christian answers.

“How soon can we get them?”. “Probably by tomorrow.” “What do we do with her in the meantime?” “Learn more about her.” Christian responds simply. Yeah, good luck. “And how the f**k will we do that?” Erebus snaps back “Ask her.” “When? She won’t give us the time of day.” Silence follows, and somethings telling me that there’s a silent exchange going on. “We can ask her now. She’s right outside the door” Christians voice echoes out alarmingly close to me. f**k!

restrains me from behind, wrapping his arms around my torso. He holds me tight, but I can tell he’s making sure not to “You d***s! Let me the f**k go!” I demand.

“Not even tempting” Erebus whispers in my ear, nibbling on my earlobe slightly. I suppress the shiver that threatens to go down my spine as he makes his way down the side of my neck, planting light kisses, and stops at my sweet spot where a mate mark is meant to be left.

Too bad that part of my neck will forever stay intact.

• Only then do I remember that I can just mindlink my brothers and they’ll come help. God, I’m such an i***t sometimes.
