Page 58 of Knot Enough
Grimm watched, humor in his eyes, while Kane seethed, upper lip curled at Grimm.
I gave another experimental tug of my arms. The crunch of the grass brought my attention to the forms approaching.
Axel strode forward, Oak by his side, while Rath watched from a distance, face shrouded in shadows.
“Get your shit hand off her,” Axel snapped.
“She was coming on my shit tongue just a moment ago, want to smell her slick?”
Axel and Kane lunged while Grimm chuckled. Their temper allowed me to get free.
“Stop,” I screamed so loud my throat hurt. “What the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck?” I shoved Axel’s chest with one hand and Kane’s with the other. They stopped their charging, but their sneers didn’t waiver.
“Stop pushing her,” Oak murmured. Finally, a voice of reason. He stepped forward until he was in front of Kane and Axe. “Lena, let's go home. We can talk about it there.”
Oak met my gaze, his calm one patient. His words caused a throb to travel through my stomach. Home . . .
“That’s not my home.”
The gentle look on his face cracked.
“Enough. You’ve said your piece. We’re going home. Now,” Rath snarled, suddenly shoving past Oak, grabbing my arm with force. I yelped, and Grimm grabbed me again, keeping me between them like a damn toy.
“Don’t touch me,” I screamed at Rath and lashed my foot out between his legs. He doubled over with a groan.
“My fucking cock,” he wheezed. Oak crouched beside Rath, checking on him. I didn’t feel bad. I staggered until my back was against Grimm.
“She doesn’t want to go anywhere with you,” Grimm taunted.
“This is pack business,” Rath spat, staggering upright.
“Tension is high,” Kane said, stiffly, making an effort to calm the growl in his voice. “Let’s talk about it at home, little Omega.” I met his gaze to see anger battling for dominance.
Grimm snorted, and it definitely bothered Kane if the twitch of his eye was anything to go by.
I balled my hands at my sides.
“You’re not hearing me! I don’t want to go with you.”
“Lena,” Kane murmured. His husky voice reached inside me, and my belly constricted. “Come here.” I swayed at the gentle words. A rumble left his mouth. The sound of his voice lulled me, sending shivers down every limb. “You won’t be harmed.”
Grimm grabbed my arm, ripping me out of the building lust.
Unbelievable. He was using his dominance to coax me.
“Then why are you trying to force me to leave with you? I left for a reason. I needed to get the fuck away from you. Allof you. So no, you didn’t come to my rescue. Your presence is unwanted.”
Silence blanketed the clearing except for my breathing. My words rang in my ears.
All the guys looked over my shoulders, a stillness they hadn’t had rippled over their features. I turned to see a gun pointed at my face.
Initially, my stomach dropped, but once I managed to breathe, I relaxed. Grimm’s eyes watched me expectantly.
“Lena,” Kane croaked.
“My finger is getting a little twitchy,” Grimm mocked. Even though we’d just met, I knew he wouldn’t pull the trigger.
I pressed my temple into the gun, making my choice clear. My clear ‘fuck you’ to the lot of Reaper Pack. I had no interest in hurting anymore.
