For just a few seconds, solely the faint thumping of music from inside breaks the silence.

Then she breathes a single shaky phrase. “Sure.”

The smile on my mouth widens. Drawing again, I meet her gaze once more. “Good. You ought to be.”

She stares up at me with these extensive eyes. My cock is painfully exhausting. I’ve by no means gotten this a lot pleasure from such a easy menace earlier than. There’s something particular about this little Russian, and all I wish to do is to place her on her knees and make her grovel. To point out her what it means to be actually afraid and determined. However a deal is a deal.

Eradicating the knife from her throat, I take a number of steps again and as an alternative increase my different arm to movement in direction of the door. She doesn’t transfer. Solely stays there, pressed towards the wall as she eyes me warily. I merely hold watching her as nicely.

I’ve given her an out. If she desires it, she’s going to should be courageous sufficient to take it.

After one other second of finding out me, as if making an attempt to learn the nonexistent feelings in my eyes, she edges away from the wall. I stay immobile. Her eyes keep on mine the entire time as she slowly skirts round me after which backs in direction of the door. I flip in order that I can hold her in my sight view.

As soon as she reaches the door, she yanks it open.

Loud music as soon as extra pulses by the air, spilling into the evening. However I do know that Alina can hear me once I give her some parting phrases.

“I’ll see you quickly, little doe.”

Her eyes snap to me for a second. After which she’s gone, pulling the door shut behind her.

A chilly snicker spills from my lips.

“Very quickly,” I add.

However solely the darkness hears me this time.

ALINA

Each nerve in my physique is on excessive alert as I stroll by the grey concrete corridors of Blackwater College. Once I attain a nook, I forged a fast look round it earlier than persevering with into the following hallway.

God fucking rattling Kaden Hunter.

He has made me so paranoid that I now really feel the necessity to test round each nook to guarantee that he isn’t lurking there, ready to ambush me. First at Carla’s occasion, after which he confirmed up once more simply two days in the past. In school. He and his rattling brothers waltzed proper into our hand-to-hand fight class, and our teacher simply allow them to.

Rico focused another lady, whose identify I believe is Isabella, and Jace beat the crap out of Maksim. Presumably as revenge for nearly breaking his arm final Saturday. And Kaden… Nicely, he naturally got here after me.

A shiver rolls down my backbone as I bear in mind the psychopath smile that curled his lips when he put me on my again time and again. God, I want I may’ve stunned him with some secret ninja transfer or one thing. However I’m not a fighter. So as an alternative of taking down that smirking son of a bitch, I consistently discovered myself on the bottom together with his muscular physique pinning me to the ground and forcing me to faucet out.

One other shudder programs by my physique on the reminiscence of the way it felt to have Kaden straddling my hips. Although this time, the shudder will not be solely out of worry and revulsion.

Shoving that different emotion far into the deepest pits of my thoughts, I look across the subsequent nook to guarantee that my ideas haven’t in some way managed to summon the satan himself.

A derisive snicker comes from behind me. “What are you doing?”

Embarrassment heats my cheeks, however I hold my voice impartial as I flip round to face the 2 ladies that I do know I’ll discover behind me.

Jane, the lady who spoke, arches an eyebrow at me whereas Leslie, the brown-haired lady subsequent to her, flashes me a mocking smile. Each of them are first-years as nicely, and ever since they realized simply how unskilled I’m, they’ve been bullying me. Not the sort of violent bodily issues that Kaden inflicts on his victims, however relatively the vicious psychological stuff that I’m fairly certain solely ladies excel at.

Since one of the best ways to cope with that’s to seem unaffected, I merely flick my hair again behind my shoulder in a nonchalant transfer and reply, “Checking for enemies, clearly.” I increase my eyebrows as if in shock. “Wait, don’t inform me you missed that a part of Professor Lawson’s class?”

Jane simply scoffs however there’s a flicker of hesitation in Leslie’s eyes, as if she’s frightened that she did miss one thing in that class. I nearly snicker. God, they’re really easy to idiot.

I flash Leslie a small smirk.

Anger flits throughout her face when she realizes that I used to be simply messing along with her.
