Screw My Childhood Sweetheart—His Alpha Brother Marked Me First!

I twisted the cord of my bracelets around my finger as I mentally checked my power levels . They were fairly low given all I'd been through in the past twenty - four hours . At least I had that going for me . In a matter of minutes , we were pulling up behind a fleet of luxury vehicles , and we piled out of the SUV . Anson strode towards me , tugging me into him and hugging me tightly . I rubbed a hand up and down his muscled back . " Hey , I'm going to be fine . " " I know . " He still didn't let go . I stretched up on my tiptoes and pressed my mouth to his .

I poured everything I had into the kiss . My reassurance , my trust , my love . When I pulled away , I'd gone just a little bit breathless . He nuzzled the side of my neck . " Thank you . " " Always . " Mason cleared his throat . " We need to move inside . " I started up the stairs , the guys surrounding me , pulling that Secret Service thing again . This time I didn't mind it in the slightest . I needed to feel them , their strength . I needed to know I wasn't facing this alone . Two enforcers stood at the entryway . As we approached , Mason gave them a nod and they opened the doors .

We moved through to find the entry full of people . Coby was doing her best to calm the Quad down , while their entourages waited in the wings . " See , they're here now . " Gregor whirled around , his eyes going to me and narrowing " I thought you were shot . " " We told you she has a healing gift , " Mason said calmly . Gregor scoffed . " Healing a cut is one thing . A bullet wound is something else entirely . " I lifted my chin , meeting his gaze . " As you can see , I'm perfectly fine . There was no need for you to come all this way .

" Kaleb turned a laugh into a choking cough as Ivan smacked him on the back a few times . Gregor straightened his shoulders . " You do not tell me what to do , little girl . " Cinna sighed , looking bored . " The girl's right . We didn't need to waste the time coming back here . " She said here as if the word tasted bad . Screw My Childhood Sweetheart - Hipha Brother Marked Me First ! Chapter 143 Ivan scanned my face and body . " Any lingering injuries ? " " No , I'm almost completely healed . " " Who shot you ? " Kaleb asked .

There was a ferocity in his words that had a little warmth growing in me for the Quad member . I glanced at Mason , who nodded . I chose my words carefully The last thing I wanted was an angry Quad going after my father , no matter how much he'd hurt me . " My father thinks the pack is a cult . He doesn't know about shifters , and what he does know about this life , he doesn't understand . " Ivan gaped at me . " Your father shot you ? " I quickly shook my head . " No ! He hired people to ' de - program ' me . Things got out of hand . " A muscle in Kaleb's cheek ticked .

" This is inexcusable . " " He's right , " Gregor said , turning his attention to Mason . " You've proven that you are unable to protect the girl . She should be removed from your care . " " I have a name , " I growled . " It's Senna . And you don't control where I go . I'm eighteen now . You lost your window . " Redness crept up his throat . " Your insolence is worthy of censure . " Kaleb held up a hand , stepping between us . " Let's all dial it back a notch . We all want the same thing . Perhaps we can establish a guard for Senna .

An enforcer from each of our packs who will remain with her . " " Absolutely not , " Knox barked . " And why not ? " Ivan demanded . " What are you hiding ? " " We aren't hiding anything , " Anson gritted out . " But our bond is new . I think you all understand that having unfamiliar wolves around our mate would be a bad idea . " " It would end in death , " Vaughn warned . " The only option is to move her to a secure location , " Gregor said . " My pack is best equipped for this . We have the strongest boundaries and the largest enforcer army . " " Excuse me ?

" Cinna asked , arching a perfect brow . " Everyone knows that my warriors are fiercest . I can take her to my high - rise in Manhattan . No one will get close to her . " " I don't think that's a good idea , " Kaleb began . " Stop ! " I shouted . " All of you , just stop . I'm not going anywhere other than home . Nothing has changed since the last time you were here . " tirest 67.5 % Chapter 143 Something flashed in Gregor's eyes . " Everything has changed . We know what you are , little energy bender . " The room went silent around me , as the guys moved in even closer to my sides .

Mason must've sent out an order through the mind link because enforcers flooded the lodge . Some moved to surround me , while others took up positions at the end of the room . In response , each of the Quad's guard moved to flank them . " Now , this isn't necessary , " Ivan said . " Isn't it ? " Mason asked . " You come onto my lands with plans to take one of my wolves . " Cinna flicked a hand in my direction . " She wasn't one of yours until very recently . " " Her mother was one of mine and is still under my protection . " Gregor's eyes flared . " You know where she is .
