“Nope. Let’s go.”
“Wait!”
When Deidra turned around, Athena looked around them before she stepped closer to her best friend and told her what she overheard.
“That fucking bitch. Let’s go.”
Athena had to walk fast to keep up with Deidra. When they got to where Draco and his friends stood, she watched in horror as Shades handed Draco a drink and smiled at him.
Chapter
Fourteen
Athena’s heartskipped several beats when she saw Draco take the drink. She honestly didn’t know how to respond with everything she knew without making an ass out of herself.
Before she could say anything, Deidra walked up to the woman and punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground. Pandemonium broke out.
“Don’t drink that!” Athena shouted as she knocked the drink out of his hands and stepped in front of him.
“What the fuck is going on?” Draco yelled out, making everyone go still and look his way.
“S-she is trying to drug you or something. Trying to get you under the influence so she could get you to have sex with her. And something about claiming you so you would have to claim her. Whatever that means.”
Athena wanted to fall to her knees and bow her head in compliance when Draco turned his dark angry eyes toward her. Why she felt that way she had no fucking clue.
“She’s lying. I would never do that!” Shades screamed as she lunged toward Athena.
“Enough!” Draco yelled at Shades before turning his eyes back to Athena.
Well, shit. Now she was in serious trouble.
It wouldn’t matter if Deidra believed her or not. It would be up to Draco what happened to her now.
“She’s telling the truth. Arrow had come to me about Shades’ plans,” Leo confessed, joining the group, moving next to her.
“I know she’s telling the truth. What has me upset is she put herself in harm’s way as my sister and a traitor fought,” Draco seethed without taking his eyes off of her.
“Bite me, asshat. Excuse me for my lame attempt at protecting you. I forgot, I’m a weak two-bit, fat bitch. At least according to your fucking team. You know what, I’m out of here. Deidra, call me after the party. I’m getting an Uber and going home.”
“Don’t you dare,” Draco growled darkly toward her.
She had no clue what came over her, but she turned toward Draco and flipped both of her middle fingers up at him then walked away. She fought the urge to turn back around when she heard his deep chuckle.
When she heard Deidra shout her name in fear, she whirled around to find a giant dog jumping into the air at her with its massive jaw opened. Reacting, she jumped to the side, twisting her upper torso as she shoved the animal away from her as she fell from the impact.
When the giant dog stood up, it shook its head then turned her way, growling at her as it prowled toward her. Before she could react, a giant black dog attacked the one stalking her.
She was barely aware of Deidra, Leo, Coren, Katarina, Tony, and Ray running toward her and pulling her away from the fray. She tried to look around them at what was happening, but they did their best to block her view.
When the other dog stopped moving, the large black one turned toward her as if to study her. To make sure she was okay.
When it advanced toward her, she stepped slightly back toward Leo, whose hand touched her arm. When the large black animal growled and snapped at Leo, she reacted and smacked the animal’s large snout.
“Don’t you dare snap at him because he’s helping me. Just because you saved me from the mean dog doesn’t give you the right to be rude.”
When the animal tilted its head, she could see behind him and froze. Where once a large animal had laid, now lay a naked woman’s body.
W…T…F? Was she in a dream or was this a nightmare?
