Drew steps between us, growling. “What the fuck are you doing?”
Wyatt glares at him. “Stay out of this, Drew!”
“Why should I?” Drew demands, shielding me protectively. “And why are you and the others watching our apartment building? Why are you harassing the tenants?”
Wyatt’s upper lip curls in a sneer. “Harassing? I just want to know where she’s been at this hour of the night.”
“Why?” Drew snaps. “Is she your daughter? Or your girlfriend that you care about so much? If not, you need to back the fuck up. Just because you’re part of the security team doesn’t mean you can harass a pack member.”
“Pack member?” Wyatt snorts. “Her? She’s just a filthy halfling. She shouldn’t even be part of this pack.”
“That is not for you to decide,” Drew says harshly. “If you have a problem, you can take it up with Alpha Black. But you have no business badgering Sophia.”
Wyatt looks furious. “And what are you going to do? Stop me?”
“Yes.” Drew doesn’t back off, his voice hard. “I’m not going to sit here and watch you threaten and assault Sophia for no reason. And if I have to go to Noah to make sure you stop, don’t worry, I will.”
Wyatt isn’t fazed by Drew’s threat. “You’ll snitch on me, huh? Well, we know how to deal with snitches around here. You better watch over that boy of yours.”
The sentence is barely out of his mouth when I see red. Did he really just threaten Tim?
Without thinking, and fueled by rage, I shoved Drew aside and slap Wyatt in the face with all my claws out, spilling blood. I use my full strength, and to my shock, he goes flying backward.
My body is quivering with fury. “How dare you? How dare you threaten a child?!”
“You fucking whore!” Wyatt shrieks, spittle flying from his mouth. “I’m going to kill you!”
“Bring it on!” I scream back. “You’re threatening kids now?! You must feel like a big man going after a little boy!”
“I’m gonna kill that little bastard and you!” Wyatt yells, and he charges at me.
Drew is trying to hold me back and protect me at the same time, but I’m ready for a fight. I’m so over this nonsense. They have no reason to treat me like this! I always have to walk on eggshells around here, listening to insults with a smile on my face. I’m done with this shit!
The other men from the security team come running from around the building at the sound of the commotion. But I don’t care. Something has finally snapped within me, and now I just want blood.
Drew growls at me, “Have you lost your mind?!”
I glare at him. “He threatened Tim! Why aren’t you more upset?”
“I…” He’s staring at me, unable to form a response.
“They’re monsters!” I snarl. “All of them! They did nothing when your mate was killed, and now, they’re threatening to kill your son! You should be the one who’s pissed off!”
Drew turns around at a sound from over his shoulder just in time for Wyatt to pierce his chest with his claws.
I hear my friend gasp, and the air fills with the smell of his blood. There’s a vicious smile on Wyatt’s face. “That was a long fucking time coming!”
I hear people call out Wyatt’s name in shock but I ignore them, my body moving. Without hesitation, I slam my knee into his abdomen, and as he groans, I grab his wrist and twist it. As he tries to move, I use my elbow to shatter his forearm bone.
Wyatt goes down with a shout of pain, but I’m not done. Years’ worth of anger and resentment is coming out now, and I have to be held back by three members of the security team to stop me from trying to kill Wyatt.
However, nobody is trying to hurt me. They are simply trying to restrain me, George among them.
“Let me go!” I shout. “I’m going to kill this fucker!”
I don’t use such foul language normally, but today I’m at the end of my rope. I just want this all over with!
“Take her away!” one of the guys shouts at George, who forcibly drags me toward the building.
