Page 5 of Tainted Romance

My attention was still focused on Allie, and I watched as she ducked to the ground and slid under Blake's legs and came charging at us.

I spun quickly, pushing Ebony into Taylor's arms. I spun back just in time to catch Allie.

"YOU'RE DEAD, BITCH!" Allie roared at her, shaking in my arms.

"OH, BRING IT ON!" Ebony roared back.

What the hell started this? The group that had gathered cheered, encouraging it.

Blake tore Allie from my grip, which was a good thing because Ebony had pried her way out of Taylor's arms and was ready for the next round. I grabbed her wrist, spinning her back in my arms.

"Ebony, calm down, you don't want this," I yelled in her ear.

Ebony wasn't a violent person. She would hate herself later for this.

Allie was thrashing about, but Blake was keeping her blocked.

"Allie, CALM DOWN!" he shouted down at her. His hands were on her waist, preventing her from moving.

My inner wolf growled at the sight. Someone else was touching our mate. We didn't like it - that was putting it mildly, to say the least.

Then I watched in horror as Blake crashed his lips against Allie’s. It stilled her, and she stopped thrashing around like a wildcat. He was kissing her.

Just like that, everything changed, and it wasn't the girls that needed to be pulled apart. It was Blake and me.

I grabbed Blake's shoulder, twirling him around and sucker punching him in the face. It took him a second before he realized what happened and swung at me. I dodged it, but took his second swing on the jaw.

Allie took the opportunity to try and attack Ebony again, and I swung my arm out, stopping her and sending her flying into Chase's arms.

Blake's fist connected with the side of my face, and I sent two punches into his in return. He touched what was mine, my wolf growled within me. He hated it and, just for that, he wanted to rip Blake's head off.

"ENOUGH!"

That voice could stop a train in its tracks. I couldn't fight it. I dropped my fists to my sides, my chest heaving. Blake's eyes were just as deadly as mine. He didn't want to stop, but just like me, he had to.

I turned to look at dad, and he was furious. I wiped the blood from my lip with the back of my hand.

"Principal's office NOW," he fumed before storming off.

My eyes were automatically attracted to Allie. Her wide eyes were slowly turning back to emerald, and she shoved Chase's arms off her.

Had she realized yet?

Her eyes locked with mine and my wolf growled in acceptance. He had connected with her wolf, and I felt her inner beast growl back. She knew.

Shit just got complicated.

Chapter Three

An ice pack rested on my bruised knuckles. Normally I wouldn’t have taken the nurse up on the offer, but Blake had a hard head.

Allie was sitting silently two chairs away from me. She hadn’t looked at me, or spoken to me. She just sat there silent, while blood slowly ran down the side of her face.

The door opened, and Ebony walked out, looking embarrassed. She swiftly closed the door behind her. I gave her a smile. Dad would have been hard on her as he hated fighting.

“See you later,” she muttered, shooting me a smile. “Good luck.” I noticed the glare she gave Allie before striding out.

Blake had already had his turn in there. Dad was quick with him because everyone had stated it was me who started on him. Bloody speculators.
