“You mean the scum who groped Gisela’s ass and then kept calling her and all the other girls sluts?” I ask. “Why am I not surprised you are friends!?”
“Shut up,” Rob yells, punching me in my stomach. I gasp at the impact but fuck him, I grew up as an orphan. I know how it feels to roam the streets and to get bullies gang up on me. “Who do you think you are?”
“Who do you thinkyouare!?” I shoot back. “Do you get a kick out of luring girls to a dark alley and then harassing them!?” I turn my face to the camera. “Rob and his minions just can’t get a girl, so they have to lie and abduct them. Is this how you losers treat a lady?”
I laugh at how stupid they are. These idiots are live-streaming this. They want me to look bad, but as far as I’m concerned, they are the psychos who assault a girl.
“Fuck,” one of his friends curses. “Stop the stream, Fred!”
Oh no way. I want them to stream this to everyone and get their asses busted for being assaulters and stupid as fuck on top of that. I wish I had already started training with this Livia Dante told me about, but well, my self-made superpower is on. Just like in the manga I’m drawing. I make sure to angle my arm and then ram my elbow into the guy’s stomach.
He groans, letting go of me. I run towards Rob, kicking him right in his balls. The Robster douchebag curls over in pain while clasping his jewels. “Damn it!” he huffs. “She is only one girl! Just get her!”
The guys circle me now. Okay, hitting these two might have been fun, but I have the slightly uncomfortable feeling I won’t be able to keep up against all of them on my own.
“Charlie!” a voice yells.
I turn around, noticing how Austen comes running towards us.
“What the fuck?” he yells.
“Oh, your boyfriend is coming,” Rob says. “Aw, how cute.”
Austen pushes one guy out of the way before standing in front of me. “What are you doing here?” I mutter.
“The other guys wanted to pick up something in the area. I heard the commotion here,” he whispers.
“You shouldn’t have come.”
“Don’t worry, I sent a voice message to Levi,” he says. “We just need to buy some time.”
“I’m so sorry,” I say quietly. “You were right. I should have been more cautious.”
“That’s not your fault,” he says before continuing louder. “You need to be a real pathetic pussy to drag a girl here and gang up on her with your friends.”
“Well, now you are here, so we don’t need to hold back,” Rob hisses. I can see he has had it now. His eyes glint in fury. This didn’t work out as he planned. I’m not sure how old he is. Is he already seventeen? Does he have his wolf? If yes, Austen and I are doomed. I hate that my own stupidity dragged my friend into this.
Rob dashes forward, throwing himself against Austen. Austen ducks and rams his elbow into the asshole’s stomach. The other guys soon follow, and it’s all limbs and yells all of a sudden. One of them is pressing Austen down into the ground, while the other just stomps onto his leg.
Oh fuck, Ella is going to chew me out for this one, but I’m not going to let them beat up my friend and stand by watching, especially when it’s been my fault.
I jump onto the back of one of Rob’s minions, holding his head in a headlock, and bite down on his ear. These fuckers want to play dirty? I can show them dirty! Before I was sent to the SOS Children’s Village, I was in London with a foster family. They had ten kids, mostly boys. It was survival of the fittest.
“Fuck, get her off me!” the minion screams. “She is biting my ear off.” He stumbles backwards trying to shake me off.
I cling onto him, trying to keep my upper position while hands tug at my shoulder. Someone keeps punching my back. Austen yells for them to stop, and then they suddenly do.
A hand comes forward, grabbing whoever is on top of me and tugging him off. A low growl can be heard, and the guy I’m piggybacking on freezes and stills. I shift my gaze, noticing one of the young alpha twins, the blond one. These are Alpha Liam’s brothers!
The blond one has a tuna sandwich secured between his teeth while he effortlessly shoves one of the guys to the ground. Now that’s effortlessly cool, Rob, take that. It’s the twin with the sand-colored hair, the sun-burnt skin, and the broad smile. Gisela is crushing on him, and she and the others call him the hot beachboy.
I figure it’s safe enough now to let go of my prey and jump down from his back. Landing on my feet, I notice one of them hurts. Must be the ankle I strained not too long ago. Peachey.
The other twin, the dark-haired one, who the girls dreamily call their emo prince, tugs Rob off Austen and wordlessly tosses him into a corner. “Austen!” I yell. “Are you okay?” I run towards him, helping him into a sitting position. He certainly doesn’t look okay. “You are hurt!” I blurt out, hugging him. “I’m so sorry.”
“Austen!” Levi comes running towards us. “Goddess! What happened!?” He narrows his eyes to a glare when he looks at Rob and his minions.
“I came when they were attacking Charlie.”
