"Madison, stop!"

Blair shoots a glare in my direction. Placing her hands on Madison's shoulders, she stops her from looking back and pushes Madison forward. "Madison!"

"Fuck off, you traitor." Blair snaps as I jog to catch up with them.

"You are a fine one to talk, and this," I wiggle a finger between me and Madison, "doesn't concern you,"

"She is my friend. How could you be so cruel?"

"You're asking me why I'm cruel? You must be fucking joking, Lone Wolf?" I spit out the stupid name she once used.

Her eyes lock on to mine. "Don't call me that."

"Isn't that what they always called you?" I sneer.

"Let's go," Blair mutters to Madison.

Madison tries her best to avoid meeting my eyes until I block her path. Her chestnut orbs briefly focus on me and then shift to something behind me. Her face was already blotchy as she tried to hold it together. I was expecting this. No one wants to know their mate has tied themselves to another.

"Blair, piss off and leave us to talk."

"No chance. Right now, she needs a friend," Blair snaps.

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be spouting off to me if I had a gun pressed up against her temple. It appears she had become a little too comfortable since I had been gone.

Bare hands could do just as good a job as a gun.

Her red waves fall around her face as she squats to tie up her shoelace.
