Too Late Alpha The Mate He Never Wanted (Iris and Eric) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Her eyes narrowed. “Don’t use that tone with me. You think because Rowan gave you a place to stay and food, you belong here? You don’t.”

“You must be really insecure,” I muttered, rolling my eyes at her.

Her brows shot up. “Excuse me?”

“Picking fights with strangers over shoes?” I raised the box slightly. “That’s… sad.”

Gasps echoed in the crowd. Chloe’s face flushed red, and her mouth gaped open in outrage.

“You think you’re clever?” she hissed, stepping closer. “I could end you with one word. Everyone in this pack listens to me. One day I’ll be their Luna, and when that day comes, people like you will suffer my wrath.”

I didn’t blink. I kept my eyes on her. “You don’t scare me.” I replied firmly.

Her eyes flashed with rage and disbelief. For a split second, I thought she might actually lunge at me.

Instead, Chloe smirked, tilting her head. “We’ll see.”

Before I could react, she reached out and shoved the shoebox against my chest. The edge of the box brushed my bad hand, causing me to flinch.

The box tumbled from my arms and hit the ground.

Gasp rippled through the crowd again. My cheeks burned with anger, but I didn’t bend to pick them up. I just stared at Chloe, clenching my jaw.

She smirked. “Pick them up, mutt. Let everyone see you grovel.”

The girls at her sides snickered.

An elderly woman shook her head slowly in displeasure.

Someone in the crowd muttered. “Oh poor girl. Look what they’re doing to her.”

I swallowed hard. I could feel my frustrations bubbling up. I wanted to leave, but Chloe and her friends had

cornered me.

Chloe smiled wide like she had already won. “What’s wrong?” she cooed. “Don’t you have anything to say? Cat got your tongue?”

Anger boiled within me. I gritted my teeth, taking a deep breath.

“Move.” I said coldly.

Chloe’s smile widened. “Or what?”
