Chapter 169

Biancha POV

Toren got up, his chest vibrating with a menacing growl. He shoved me behind him and hissed at the boys. “What do you want?”

The boys assessed him. Toren had an intimidating presence with his tall, muscular and lithe frame. Yet, the boys didn’t seem to take that into consideration. They constantly peeped over his shoulder to look at me.

“We know you love her,” said one of them lewdly. “How about we all share her?”

“Fuck off!” Toren gritted. “Go away before I kill you!”

They started laughing. “He thinks he can take the three of us,” said the one who talked about sharing me. Suddenly, he took out a knife. “My knife hasn’t tasted blood in a long time. How about we kill you and take the prized possession?” he said, glancing at me with lustful eyes.

Toren’s rage was like a volcano that just erupted. Before I could stop him, he charged at the boys. He twisted the hand of the first boy who had the knife, fracturing it. The boy screamed in pain as he looked at him. Toren wasted no time. He kicked the second guy in his belly, sending him down the knoll, rolling and crying in pain. I suspected his ribs were broken. And in the end, Toren took the third boy who he picked up from the ground and tossed him against a tree on the foot of the knoll. The boy grunted in pain as he slumped unconscious, breaking branches and bones. The third boy looked at us in horror. He backed a little and then ran away.

Toren caught my hand and took me back to the car, muttering curses under his breath. As I passed the two boys, I couldn’t help feeling that this wasn’t the last. The realization that I was the primary cause of trouble was sinking in. The incident left me shaken. Toren gripped my hand as he drove back to the hotel in silence and barely kept the rage.

“I should’ve killed that bastard!” he growled.

I remained silent, wondering what to do now. This was becoming repetitive, and I had no answers. When we reached the hotel, he didn’t leave my hand and went to his room holding me. As soon as we were inside, he pulled me to his chest and hugged me tightly, dipping his head in my neck. I could sense that he needed an assurance that I was near him, with him, because even I needed this assurance.

Were we mates? The question nagged my mind like a thorn that I wanted to weed out. The notion that I was his mate was overwhelming. And the notion that I wasn’t his mate was crushing. Like I couldn’t breathe.

“Toren,” I murmured in his chest. “What is going on?” Fear started taking roots in
