Shifters Gone Alpha (53 page)

Yeah, like I was going to drink anything he gave me. “No thanks.” I tried to step away from him when he blocked my exit.

“Don't be rude. I'm trying to be polite here,” Luke said through tense lips.

“And I'm trying to do the same.” I looked around quickly, clenching my fists. “Please don't spoil this event by causing me to make a scene,” I said through gritted teeth.

“You don't have to. I'll do it for you,” Knox said, flanked by three of Ryker's enforcers. He started removing his jacket, and the crowd parted curiously.

Luke smirked. “Déjà vu! Haven't we done this before? I believe last time it ended with you losing the girl.” He looked at me slyly. “I believe this will end in the same way.”

I stepped between them. “I think not, Luke. This has to stop.” I nodded toward the enforcers. “Can you please escort him out before Knox does something I know he won't regret?”

“Storm, step out of the way,” Knox growled.

I wrapped my arms around his waist. “No! Not this time. I don't want to see you all over the evening news. Let Ryker's guards throw him out.” They shoved Luke.

“Don't touch me. Do you know who I am?” Luke hissed.

One of them said, “We know who you are. You're an ass who's making a scene. Now either move on your own or be carried out. You decide.”

Luke brushed off his jacket and then looked at me coolly. “I'll see you soon, Storm.” He walked away, his head held high.

Knox nodded toward them. “Ensure he gets out.”

“On it,” they both said in unison, walking quickly after Luke.

Knox turned back to me with icy eyes. “What was that all about?”

I rolled my eyes with exasperation. “I didn't invite him, Knox. So stop with the caveman tactics.”

“It didn't look like you were trying to stop him from practically pawing you either,” Knox said quickly.

“Okay, I'm not doing this. First, I'm not your girlfriend. Secondly, despite the obviously low opinion you have of me… I only sleep with one man at a time. Third, if you don't trust me, then there’s no point in taking whatever this thing is any further.”

His eyes narrowed. “You don't leave me feeling warm and fuzzy when your fucking ex-boyfriend shows up to my damn party, pawing my property.”

I looked at him incredulously. “Is that right?” I asked flatly. “I'm not your
property
.” I sighed heavily. “Damn, just when I thought we were making progress, you take us fucking five steps backward.” I was tired of having to explain myself. My eyes narrowed coldly. “Knox, it's hypocritical to talk about me trusting you when you’re unwilling to trust me. Please let me know when you’re willing to do that and take whatever this thing we have going on to an acceptable level of civility.” I shook my head with disappointment before walking away with a heavy heart.
