“You know exactly what I’m talking about,” | said, my voice low and dangerous.
“And what makes you think | would reply a riffraff like you,” she said, and | gritted my teeth together.

“No one touches Nelly and gets away with it,” | said, my voice shaking with anger.

Without thinking, | swung my arm and slapped her across the face. A shocked gasp rose from the crowd of onlookers, but | didn’t care.
At that moment, all | could think about was the injustice of it all. But as the seconds ticked by, | felt the first tendrils of panic begin to creep in. | knew | had just made a terrible mistake, but | will handle that later.
“How dare you!” she yelled, her face contorted with fury. | saw her raise her hands towards me, and | braced myself for an attack. But to my surprise, she didn’t hit me. Instead, she lunged forward, her nails clawing at my face.

I raised my fist, ready to land a blow, but something stopped me. Lifting my head, | saw Harry standing a few feet away, his expression filled with horror.
“Let go of her,” he said, his voice low and urgent. But | couldn’t bring myself to do it. | looked down at Emily, whose eyes were filled with a smirk. “No!” | said, my voice cracking.
“Aisha, please!” | heard Nelly call out from somewhere behind me.
But | ignored her, my focus entirely on Emily. | felt my hands begin to tremble, and a sob rose in my throat, | had lost control, and | didn’t know how to stop. If | don’t hurt Emily, | can never calm down,

He knelt down beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder. | flinched away from him, my body tense.
“Your

“She started it first!” | said, my voice cracking with anger. “I just want to give her a taste of her medicine.”
| tried to stand, but he held me in place. “That's not the way to do it,” he said. “You are
going to make things worse.”

“No, you are the one making things worse!” | said, my voice raised in frustration.
“If | had left you alone, you would have done something you would have regretted. You know how Alpha Kex is, he doesn’t forgive people who hurt Emily.” | rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of irritation.
“| hate people like you,” | said, my voice dripping with venom. “You are always telling me what to do, like you know everything. Well, you don’t.” | turned away from him, my body trembling with anger.
Harry’s face went pale, and he rushed towards me. “I was only looking
out for you,” he said, his voice shaking. “I don’t want you to get into trouble. | don’t want you to make things worse for yourself.” | froze, | looked at him, and gave him my middle fingers. “I don’t need you to care for me,” | said, my voice cracking. “I can do that on my own.” | turned away from him, my anger mixed with guilt.
“Come on, let me help you up,” | said, reaching out to Nelly and pulling her to her feet. She stood there, her eyes red-rimmed and her face pale.
“You really need to get your temper under control,” she said, her voice soft but firm. “If it weren’t for Harry, we could have been in serious trouble with Alpha Kex.”
| rolled my eyes, wanting to scream at her. But | knew she was right. | sighed, feeling a mix of exhaustion and frustration. “Fine,” | said, my voice barely audible. “I will be more calm.”
“Let's just hope she doesn’t tell Alpha Kex anything about this,” Nelly murmured, more to herself than to me.
“Like | care,” | said, my voice sharp and dismissive.

Nelly let out a small chuckle. “You do care,” she said, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “You care more than you let on.”
