And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 288

Sagging his shoulders, he smirked. "Are you done?"

Groaning loudly in frustration, I shoved him back, watching as he stumbled laughing while I pushed past him to grab the handle of the library door, exiting into the hallway. I didn't care about Lucas nor did I care that he was currently following me down the hallway as I pushed through the double doors and welcomed the cool air.

I didn't have a car considering the Alpha, my father Hale, took my car after my late night joy rides over a month ago. But I was never opposed to walking, and so when he took it, that's what I started doing. I walked or would simply catch a ride with Lux.

Which, of course, had come to an end after our fight this morning.

"Where are you going?" Lucas called from behind me as I made my way through the field near the school towards the treeline. It was a fifteen minute drive from my house to the school, and walking would take close to an hour.

However, shifting into my wolf would take a lot less longer.

"Dude, are you going to just ignore me?" he called again as I got closer to the shadows within the trees, a welcoming sight as I sat my bag down and slowly stripped.

"That was the plan," I sighed as I slid off my shirt and stuffed it into my backpack before slowly unbuttoning my jeans. I didn't understand why he was so persistent, and why he continued to follow me when neither of us even liked each other.

"So you're just going to shift and run home? I have a vehicle. I can take you."

Glancing over my shoulder at him, I scoffed with a smile. "Yeah, and run the risk of my brother tripping out again. No thanks."

There were many ways this moment could have gone, but there was no way I was going to give in to the urges we both had. "There's no point in getting to know me."

Letting the turn come over me, he jumped back from where I stood until the fur of my wolf broke through me, and my enormous beast stood before him. My black coat was purer than most, and with my celestial eyes still on display, I was an intimidating sight to behold.

"Gorgeous." He smirked as I huffed in displeasure, picking up my backpack in my mouth before turning and darting off into the forest.

If Lucas Vega thought flattery would allow him to get close to me, he was sadly mistaken.
