Mated to the Alpha and His Beta (Lanie Stanton) novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493
Stella

Quickly, I formed a different sort of bubble around her. A small shield, light and thin, that kept the man grabbing her from being able to pull her with him off the dance floor. Every time he tugged, his fingers slipped off her wrist like she’d been covered in oil. His confusion was obvious, and I wanted to laugh. Finally, he gave up and turned away to find someone else.

Selena danced back over to me with a frown. “Hey! I know what you’re doing!”

I turned my back on the man who’d flicked my beads, and he gave up to find someone else. “He was trying to take you off the dance floor!”

“Yeah, he wanted to buy me a drink!” She frowned. “Listen, kiddo, I’m here to have a good time. The deal was that I’d show you how to be normal, and you’d help keep away the supes trying to get at me.”

“Is this normal?” I shouted to be heard. The quiet bubble had faded while I shielded her from the man she apparently had wanted to go with.

I was having a hard time juggling everything at once.

Selena’s eyes were glowing again, but not from her wolf this time. Like the server’s, the whites were bright. So were her teeth. It was from the purple lighting overhead, I realized. Her fingernail polish, the white tips, were glowing, too.

“And don’t call me kiddo,” I shouted.

Only a minute or so had passed without any men trying to grab our hips and push themselves against our butts. That seemed to be about the limit of time we’d get solo. As Selena felt big male hands pulling her back against him, she grinned at me and let this new stranger hold her close.

“You don’t even know what he looks like!” I couldn’t hold back my laughter, even though I didn’t really think it was funny.
