Caroline’s POV
When everyone left to dance, it was just me and Draven. The tension between us was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I felt nervous, like a teenager stuck with their angry ex.
"Caroline." The way Draven growled my name made my skin tingle. He leaned in close, those violet eyes burning into mine with pure possession.
"Be as pissed as you want, but you’re still mine. I won’t let another man touch what belongs to me. That dress barely covering anything? Fine. But grinding with another man?" His eyes flashed anger, and his Alpha Aura filled the space between us.
"As your Alpha, I forbid it. Unless you want me to rip apart any male who gets too close."
I was furious.His Alpha voice might make Rory weak in the knees, but that didn’t mean he could boss me around. Especially since we weren’t even part of his pack.
"You’re very wrong,Alpha Draven!"I hissed back,refusing to be intimidated. "Nothing here belongs to you! And yes, I’m angry, I’m furious,so don’t you dare provoke me or use your Alpha tone with me!"
That cocky Alpha flashed an absurdly sexy smile,eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Hate and love walk the same path in our world, Caroline. The bond between us can’t be severed so easily," he said,"You’re mine. It’s just a matter of time until you forgive me."
He leaned in and kissed the tip of my nose, making me heart skip a beat.
I snorted in anger. The arrogance of this Alpha! As I looked away, trying to calm down, I noticed a woman approaching our table. She had silicon breasts practically spilling out of her low-cut dress, swaying her hips as she walked. Her makeup was heavy, and she was eyeing Draven like he was her next meal.
"Hey, handsome," she said in a sugary voice,leaning over Draven and deliberately pushing her chest against his shoulder. "Dance with me. I don’t think your little sister will mind."
Rory snarled inside me,"That female needs to back off. He’s ours!"
"He is NOT ours," I said to Rory, but the possessive rage boiling in my blood said otherwise.
I thought Draven would shut her down right away. Instead, he just sat there, checking her out like he was interested. Seriously? I could feel my anger rising. He couldn’t actually be considering this.
I tried to act like I didn’t care, pulling out my phone and pretending to text. Whatever, he could do what he wanted.
Draven was playing along with her, saying something that made her giggle. She squeezed herself between us, practically sitting in his lap. I tried not to look when she put her hand on his thigh, whispering something in his ear that was definitely not PG-13.
Draven didn’t push her away, which made my blood boil even more. He just sat there, watching me from the corner of his eye while she got bolder. When she reached for his abs, something in me snapped.
I didn’t even recognize myself in that moment. Maybe it was the alcohol, or my anger, or Rory taking over, but I jumped up, got right in her face across the table, and stared her down.
"Who said he’s my brother?" I snapped. "Back off. This Alpha’s taken,he’s with me."
Draven’s eyes lit up, looking between us with this smug little smile.
She looked me up and down with a smirk, running her hands over her body. "You really think he wants a little thing like you when he could have all this?"
She leaned into Draven’s ear, but made sure I could hear. "I’m a real woman, Alpha. I can show you heaven. Don’t say no... I’ll do anything you want."
Rory was going crazy inside me. "Let me at her! I’ll rip her throat out!"
"Listen up, you devil’s draft," I growled, surprising myself with how dangerous I sounded. "Get lost before I make you regret coming over here."
Draven just sat there watching us like it was the best show ever. I hit his arm, which only made him laugh more. Thanks for the help, jerk.
Then he stood up, pulled me close against him, and gave me a kiss.When he looked at her, his eyes went pure Alpha cold.
"You think I’d want you when I’ve got the most beautiful woman in the world?" His smile was beautiful. "You’re just some cheap wannabe trying to mess with what’s mine. Get out. Now. And don’t come near me or my mate again."
"Bye-bye, tramp!" I waved, feeling Rory’s satisfaction.
Draven turned away from her like she didn’t exist, wrapping me in his arms.
