Chapter 193
The others were already seated when I walked over. Toya openly stared at me with a smirk. “Did you have a little fun in line there, Amy?”
I chuckled, but my anger still simmered. “It’s like a rot in this fucking school.” I slammed into my seat as the others just stared at me. “No matter where I turn, someone is bullying someone. When did this become our status quo? We are not fucking humans.” I had to calm myself down, but this was perfect. It showed I wasn’t doing well. I allowed tears to well in my eyes and shook my head. “I’m sorry.” I wiped at my face in frustration.
“It’s okay.” Toya followed my lead and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. I heard her sniffle, and a tear hit my shoulder.
“Look at how pathetic you two look.” Instantly, Nix surfaced. Fur rippled down both of our arms, black against her dark brown. We looked at each other, our eyes shifted.
We separated and looked behind us to find Nina and her band of idiots. Nix ripped a growl so vicious, they all took a step back. “I will give you one fucking chance, Nina.” I felt my mouth shift, fangs extending. “Turn around and leave us.”
Nina rallied, a smirk on her face. “Or what? Are you going to get your daddy to—”
I didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. I launched out of my seat and tackled her. I slammed my fists into her face over and over. I heard and felt her nose snap, but I kept going.
Everything else fell away. All I could focus on was the damage I was dealing. I wouldn’t use my claws, even though I wanted to. So I used my fists, my knees—anything I could to break anything else on her. I couldn’t get over the smirk on her face. She was aiming to shatter what was left of my control, and she would have if my father was dead.
She was lucky I hadn’t lost myself to killing her. But I was using this moment to truly hammer home that she should fear me.
After I had her subdued, I pulled back enough to really get into it. I knew this would be the only real chance I had to get my point across.
I started on her fingers; I snapped each and every one of them. Then I broke her forearms. I ripped her shoulders out of their sockets. I started to pummel her chest, attempting to break each and every rib as someone ripped me off of her.
Once I was pulled away, I released another growl. I whirled to face whoever was holding me back and raised my hands, only to find Brandon and Vince were holding their hands up, trying to calm me down. I released another growl, spit dripping from my fangs. “Why did you pull me off of her?” I screamed, making the two men flinch away from me.
Brandon’s mouth was floundering like a fish, but Vince’s voice was calm. “You were going to kill her.”
“She deserved it,” I snapped back. My voice sounded vicious even to me.
Vince’s eyes tightened, but he pointed to Nina on the ground. “Take her to the infirmary.” I growled again, the fur rippling, freezing everyone around us. “Talk to me, Amy, what happened?” Vince stepped closer, hands still raised.
Toya came up next to me and wrapped her arm around my waist. “You know what happened yesterday?” She offered matter-of-factly.
I watched as a flash of pride crossed Vince’s face. He couldn’t stop the tiny smirk if he wanted to. But it was like a flash in the pan. There one second, gone the next. “Yes.” His voice was soft, placating. “I am so sorry for both of your losses.” I growled, and Toya’s hand tightened around my side—a soft signal to calm down.
“Thank you.” Toya wiped at her face, playing her part perfectly. “Anyway, Amy already had an interaction in the food line, protecting an Omega from a group of Gammas. But then Nina came and did probably the stupidest thing she could have done to us, and Amy lost the hold she had on her wolf.”
Vince winced. “What did she say?”
Toya shook her head as if the words were too hard to utter. I snapped my teeth, playing the uncontrolled and slightly rabid alpha, causing Vince to step back unconsciously.
Wendy stood and came over, wrapping her arm around my other side. “She taunted both of them, Alpha Vince. She was using yesterday’s tragedy to provoke Amy, and she got what she wanted, but not the outcome she expected.”
“What do you mean?”
“Amy told her to leave us alone, but Nina just smirked and asked, ‘Or what? Are you going to get your daddy…’ well, she didn’t get much further than that before Amy tackled her.”
