Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 91

“Hey.” Caspian bumped my shoulder. “You’re not alone.”

“Thanks.”

Anson parked, turning off the engine. He shifted in his seat so he could see me. “You’ll tell me if she does anything?”

“I can handle it,” I assured him.

“I know you can. I still want to know.”

“Fine. As long as you promise I can fight my own battles.”

Anson’s lips pressed into a hard line as he struggled to agree.

Knox pinned me with a stare. “None of us fight our own battles, Ro. Not anymore. We’re stronger together.”

Flashes of the attack flitted through my mind. “Mean girls aren’t exactly wolf ninjas.”

Caspian’s lips twitched. “Wolf ninjas?”

“I don’t know what you call them. That’s just what they seemed like to me. The worst thing Sadie and her friends are going to do is call me a slut. That I can deal with on my own.”

Luc tugged on a frayed string on my jeans. “You can deal with them, just as long as you know we have your back.”

“Fair enough. Now, let’s go before we’re late and get detention.”

River pushed open his door and I followed him out. The rest of the guys climbed out and met us at the front of the SUV. I stiffened as Sadie approached, her hips swaying.

“Anson, I was worried about you. Why didn’t you text me back?”

Cass appeared from between the vehicles, Jack and Ridge following behind her. “Probably because he blocked your ass from his phone. Scamper, Sadie, before I decide to make you pay for that postér stunt you pulled.”

Sadie blanched but quickly recovered, glaring at Cassidy. “Whatever, weirdo.”

Cassidy rolled her eyes. “So original.”

Sadie turned on her heel and strode away. “Call me later, Anson.‘

I looked around our group. “Is it just me, or is she delusional?”

Cassidy grinned and looped her arın through mine. “I missed you, Ro. School has been way too boring without you here.”

“So, how are you feeling? Really?“Cass asked as she leaned against the locker next to mine. We hadn’t been able to get any real time alone to talk during classes or lunch. The guys had been serious hoverers, waiting for someone to pounce. But no one had. The worst I’d gotten had been a few whispered insults. Cass had finally growled at the guys to meet us in the parking lot as classes finished so we could get just a few minutes of privacy.

I bent to pull a book out of my backpack and shoved it into my locker. “I’m mostly okay.”

Cass arched a brow.

My shoulders slumped, and I leaned against my open locker door. “All right, I’m a mess. This is a lot for a very short period of time.”

“Understatement of the century.”

“Between finding out I turn furry, have crazy healing powers, Vaughn telling me he doesn’t want to be my mate, Knox kissing Jaz-”

Cass grabbed my arm. “What did you just say?”

“Which part?”

“Vaughn not wanting to be your mate? Knox kissing Jaz? What the hell are those idiots doing?”

I twisted the string on my bracelet. “To be fair, it was Jaz who kissed Knox. He pushed her away.”

“I don’t care if he pushed her away. She shouldn’t have ever been within kissing range.”

“I don’t disagree with you there.”

Cass shook her head. “He’ll be lucky if I don’t slip some ex–lax into his coffee tomorrow.”

I snorted a laugh. “That might be a little extreme.”

“We need a girls‘ night. You and me, a bucket of popcorn, and a ridiculous amount of candy. We’ll sort it all out.”

My nose stung. How long had it been since I’d had something like that? Not since Lacey was alive. She used to make a batch of brownies but not cook them all the way so that they were ooey gooey in the middle. She’d set the baking dish on the kitchen counter and pull out two forks. We’d eat out of the tin until my problem was solved and we both felt a little sick.

The smile slipped from Cass‘ face. “Hey, you okay?”

“Yeah. You just reminded me of Lacey with that offer. It sounds perfect.”

“I’m taking that as a high compliment.”

“You should.”

A booted foot snaked out and sent my backpack flying. Since it was open, my notebooks and pens scattered across the hall.

Sadie paused in front of us. “Oops.” Her little followers giggled.
