“Why...are you here?” I asked, surprised. My heart started to race when I realised how close I was to him. “Beta.” Lawrence bowed his head slightly to give his respect prompting me to go and do the same, but when I tried to step away from him, his hold got tighter. “Kyle?” He looks at me for a second then back at Lawrence. “What were you two doing?” He clenches his jaw as he shoots daggers at the other young man's face. “H-He was just-” “I was just asking her to be my date, beta.” He looks at him proudly. His conviction moved me a little that I went and defended him. “He was just helping me and we—” My words were cut short when he grabbed me away from the place without warning. “Wait-wait—” Lawrence just held his hand out unable to say anything while I was dragged away by KyIe.
