In the Alpha’s Arms
Chapter 21
“Are you actually some type of sick psycho fan?!” she said harshly, tears in her eyes like she was genuinely hurt by James‘ photo. The two were obviously close. Had they been together? The way Stace pranced about around the other men, it had never occurred to Lita that Stace might have had something more with James.
“ANSWER ME?!” Stace yelled.
“C’mon Stace, calm down,” Cole stood between the two women, putting his hands up though Lita could see his muscles bunching with tension. “I’m sure she has a good reason…” He didn’t sound sure at all.
“NO! Just ‘cause she’s your mate doesn’t mean she’s innocent! How else does she have this?!”
He growled harshly, “Stace!” It was more like a sharp bark, one that sent chills down Lita’s spine,
Lita’s panicked mind knew she needed to clear things up, but she wasn’t sure it would help. It could even make it worse. James always wanted her to stand up for henell. And she tried, she really did, but the last time she tried, well, she was still covered in bruises from the last time she tried. It could go badly again. If prople were using some kind of power to control her, did Cole have that same power? Would he use it next? She needed to weigh her options quickly.
Even knowing that more and more of her private life was becoming public within the group, her old anxieties still had a hold. She wasn’t supposed to tell these people who she was or how she knew James! Why? Because if they knew who she was, they could use it against her, exploit her powerful family. The more she thought about that, the more ridiculous it seemed. These were good people, even when they didn’t take her seriously, they were never cruel. They hadn’t needed to intervene in her life but they did it anyway. She didn’t think they would use her. And if Cole really owned this whole industrial park, he had to have his own money, right? It seemed he actually preferred the more industrial, worn in look of his gym. And if James had been his business partner, he was used to being around someone with money. Someone with her name’s legacy. So, no, that wasn’t a valid reason,
