Sinclair POV
Adrian started sending messages after I sent the video. Now he is making requests this morning. I was blushing at some of them. He is clearly enjoying watching me pleasure myself while thinking about him.
I wonder if I should do that once we are reunited again? Let him walk in on me or something. I store that in the back of my mind for when I return.
I'm going to the dining room for breakfast. I see Angelo sitting down, and a couple of warriors are messing with him. Julian lets his warriors harass weaker pack members? They don’t realize Angelo is an integral part of their pack.
I feel bad for him. I remember my high school days, and I suddenly see myself in him. It pisses me off. I decide to walk up to Angelo and confront these assholes.
“Is there a problem here?” I asked, seriously.
The two warriors turned to me and sneered. “Mind your business,” one said.
Angelo was looking at me nervously. Did no one teach him how to defend himself?
“He’s my colleague, so that makes this my business,” I replied.
“Are you looking for trouble?”
“Looking? I’d say I found it. Good thing, too. I was getting really bored. Leave Angelo alone.”
“Or what, contractor?”
I chuckled. “Or you find out why Julian is so fascinated with me.”
The men looked at each other and rounded the table. “You think you can take us on, little girl?”
“More like take you out,” I said as I got into a fighting stance.
They slowly started advancing towards me with menacing smiles. Right when I was ready to release pent-up frustrations, the dining room doors slammed open.
“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!”
Julian stormed in; his eyes were thunderous. I cocked an eyebrow, amused at his feigned display of outrage. Angelo has been getting bullied for a long time; it’s painfully obvious, and he has done nothing about it.
“Alpha, we were just about to teach this…contractor…a lesson,” one of the warriors said.
I chuckled. “Is this your pack protection, Julian?”
Julian’s face was even redder. “Who told you that? Why didn’t you say anything?”
“The warriors told me. I didn’t say anything, because it was said with a tone of authority.”
“Why didn’t you come to me when they were harassing you?”
“Alpha, you don’t usually have time for me unless you need me to do something for you,” Angelo replied.
Julian grew angrier and whipped his head toward the pack. The two asshole warriors were still on the ground, gasping through the oppressive aura, directed entirely at them.
“Let me be clear to everyone in this pack!” He snarled; his eyes were also glazed over, which meant he was making a pack announcement. “Every pack member is to be respected and valued. Not one of you is better than the other. We are heading into a war soon, and we need to be united. That starts with everyone respecting and helping each other. Additionally, Sinclair Cross is under my protection. She is not just a contractor. She is a valued guest, and I suggest you all treat her with the respect deserving of an honored guest!” He snarled.
I gave a lazy clap. “Thanks. Now, I want to eat, and I am going to sit with Angelo. I hope you will take care of these two appropriately.”
I walked past him, and he grabbed my wrist gently. “Sinclair, I apologize for their behavior. It was an oversight on my part, and it will not happen again.”
“You should apologize to your tenured tech lead. You failed him as his Alpha, Julian. I’m also taking two hours a day to start training him to protect himself. I don’t trust your pack to do right by him,” I said as I pulled away from him and sat down with Angelo.
