Chapter Four : A Brooding Knight On A Sad Night

RIVER

"D….. don't you dare come close to me." I raise my finger in an attempt to warn them but the alcohol takes effect on me and I roll my eyes back, my eyes dimming as I feel dizzy.

The guys laugh out in jest and I frown when the tall one tries to touch me, he seems to be the head of their group and he's more scarier.

He holds me arm and tower over me and as I sniff in his scent, it intoxicate my wolf and my skin begins to burn.

Everything about the rogues intoxicate me— their smell and touch. I've been battling with this allergy since I was a kid and I always have to stay indoors for the strange bruises to heal.

Mom says my wolf is extraordinary but I don't see anything so special about her.

She can't even fight back when she's been attacked and sometimes, I wonder the difference between an omega and I.

Another guy steps in and trail his finger along my skin, biting my earlobe and this time, my wolf grits in frustration.

"You smell really nice." The blonde rasps, a sinister smile dancing on his lips as he speaks.

He turns to face the tall one and asks, "what do you think is gonna happen with her? Do we ruin her at the garage over there?" He points, "or we take her to the woods?"

I can't fight their touch as I'm not really in my right senses.

I want to sleep away but I can't possibly fall asleep in their arms.

"Leave….." I pause, gulping down and hiccup, "leave me alone or I'll call the police!"

The tall one smirks, grabbing my wrist roughly as he yanks me closer to himself.

"What a miserly threat." He scoffs, "what makes you think the police would be able to save you from us?"

"No, Dan." Another bald guy among them chirps in, his eyes roaming my body and glistening with lust.

"Reaching out to the police is nice but that'd be after we're done with her. Why don't we take her away already? I can't help it anymore."

"Let her ride on your bike, Dan." He adds, "you have enough strength to hold her down if she acts out of place."

"Hmm, she seems like a tough one." Dan grins, his hand grasping my neck and I choke out for help but it doesn't take long until he a strong arm appears from nowhere and punches him on the face.

He grunts and fall to the floor. His gang watch on awe and gasp when a brooding tall guy shows up from behind.

I gasp, astounded when I set my eyes on him.

Orion  Blackwood. The Top Star of the SGBC.

Why is he here?

"Y….you!"

Orion  chuckles at the rouges' expression. They don't expect him to show up even as I didn't too.

"Carry that rascal of your hero…." He gestures at Dan who is groaning on the ground. "and get out of here before I give you a reason to leave the town completely."

They all shudder and pick up the wounded guy before scurrying away on their bikes.

I'm stunned at how Orion  has a great effect on them. How can they fall so easily for his threat when they were proving all confident just a few minutes ago?

The place falls silent and Orion  turns to look at me.

"Are you okay?" He asks, his voice etched with concern but I don't fall for his kind words and move away.

He might want to take advantage of me too. He's so good at saying words like this to make girls melt.

His shining silver eyes are locked on mine, glowing with nothing but pure perfection and this time, I remember Ryker's words.

~ Now I can be sure that I'd get shortlisted among the newbies to join the SGBC. Zoey's brother's one of the members and I can get in through him ~

~ Unlike you who's baseless and has no use to me, Zoey has shown greater potentials and she's one of the most beautiful she-wolves I've set my eyes on ~

I ball my fists in annoyance as his words poison my heart like venom.

He broke up with me just because of his obsession for the SGBC and here's his favourite biker standing right in front of me.

I swear I want to strangle him.

"You're drunk, tell me your address and I'll take you home." He moves closer and when he holds my waist, I freeze.

The burning sensation the rougues left on my skin suddenly dissipate and my body is calm again.

What kind of a guy is this? I wonder, my brows knitted together.

How can his mere touch cause a calm to me?

My wolf is curious and my heart is aching with confusion too.

Aria thuds and I clutch my chest as my heart accelerates.

"Who are you?" I mumble out a question and he flashes a puzzled expression at me.

"Now I know you're so drunk," he chuckles, "are you going to keep staring at me or allow me shield you from this chaos, milady?" He gestures a gentleman bow.

Of course, I know he's Orion  Silverfang— every lady's heartthrob but definitely not me!

But something about him seems different and…. strange.

I try to sniff in his scent but only his cologne wafts in?

Why did he conceal his wolf scent? He's definitely more shady than I think.

"I don't need your help." My voice is sharp, "I can get home on my own." I roll my eyes at him and swerve him out of the way.

He doesn't argue and watches me in silence as I leave.

I bend and pick my purse and I only take two steps before my legs weaken and I fall to the floor.

I groan when I see the proud smile on Orion 's face. Argh, I lose to him.

"Are you going to take my help now, messy bun?" He raises a brow and my hand moved instinctively to my hair.

Do I really look less presentable? Why do I even care?
