87-I Am Not That Timid
The big guy turned around and pointed the knife at me. “She is your friend who has come to help you.” He let out a cackle, scaring me with his gigantic physique.
“Get behind him now!” the man yelled, waving the knife at me and gesturing for me to go behind the guy. I did as he said and rushed behind the guy.
“Now give me that pendant!” As the man demanded, I tilt- ed my head to see what had intrigued this man into assaulting the young boy.
He was wearing an epic feather pendant with diamonds shining in them. It obviously caught the attention of the man.
“I cannot take it off,” the boy tried explaining as he held the feather in his palm.
“If you don’t, I will cut your head off your body and grab the pendant,” the man grunted at him as he looked around in fear of getting caught. He reeked of alcohol and drugs, too. Having a knife in such a case seemed like a deadly combina-tion.
“Give him the damn pendant,” I whispered, and the guy got up on his feet to stand beside me.
“You don’t understand; I cannot take it off.” His green eyes deepened as he frowned anxiously.
“Why not? I will get you money, just give him that,” I ut- tered back at him, shaking as I regretted coming out in the streets.
“If I take it off, the entire Golden Crown pack will fall into despair.” The guy whispered back at me, making my skin to feel goosebumps with his claims. I couldn’t help but watch him hold the pendant tightly in his hands, refusing to take it off.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Well, then-you leave me no choice,” said the big guy, who didn’t seem to back off either. He wanted the diamonds, and he was here to get them. He lunged at the boy and slashed his arm, making him step back and fall to the ground.
Something inside of me was triggered when I smelt the cinnamon scent even more strongly this time. My eyes trav- elled to the young guy’s blood, and I noticed it sparkling a lit- tle.
I have never seen something like that before. It was as if he was bleeding diamonds. The big guy’s eyes shimmered as he noticed the boy was too occupied by holding her hand in the wounded area.
He stepped ahead to snatch the pendant out of his neck when something rose inside me. I found my body acting up and my hands dropping the bag. Without giving it another thought, I rushed at the man and pushed him.
One would think he would step back a little and get back to attacking me, but that didn’t happen. The man flew across the street and landed far away from us. I was breathing and glaring at his image from afar, ready to strike again.
The big guy got up with difficulty, but instead of ap- proaching us again, he started panting in fright and bolting out of our sight. Once I calmed down, I turned around to look at the guy, and to my surprise, he had fled the scene too.
“What the heck?” I groaned in annoyance, feeling be- trayed.
‘He should have stayed behind to thank us,’ Ace’s voice al- most scared me. I needed to get used to seeing her whenever she wakes up.
‘You did that?’ I asked her, and she remained silent in re- sponse, ‘How did you manage to throw away such a big guy?’ I asked her again, and curiosity hit me hard this time.
‘Maybe he was only bigger than his wolf,’ she answered, not saying much.
‘My scent!’ It was then panic struck me, ‘Oh My God! If you are awake, he can find us. I started panicking and grab- bing my stuff in fear.
‘Don’t take the pill like an idiot right now. Let me accom- pany you home and then shove as many pills in your damn mouth as you want,’ Ace grunted, showing emotions I never expected from her.
‘Leave you out and let him follow me home. Do you think I am that stupid?’ I groaned at her instead of thanking her for saving us tonight. Once I had grabbed my stuff, I held the pill in my hand to dump it in my throat, but the fear of walking among the streets alone with an angry big guy roaming around threatened me. I didn’t know if I should take the pill or take the risk until I heard a concerning voice.
“Beatrice!”
The voice belonged to Akin.
I dashed out of the street and found him anxiously searching for me. Once his eyes landed on me, he let out a visible sigh of relief before we bolted in each other’s direction.
‘Let’s get to work,’ Ace whispered creepily, but I hushed her down. The moment I approached Akin, I fled into his chest and hugged him.
He didn’t hug me back, but he didn’t push me away either.
“I was so sca—-red.” I stuttered as I realized how much of a mess I could have fallen into today for the guy who didn’t even stick around to thank me.
“You were supposed to give me a call,” Akin expressed his disappointment with me and also steadily pulled away from
Once we were apart, I lowered my head and sighed.
“I will see what Zane has to say about his carelessness tonight,” Akin let out another grunt before he gestured at me to follow him.
I did follow him after I sneaked the pill down my throat. The car ride was filled with silence, but my mind was still stuck on the pendant.
It looked so beautiful and calming. It was almost like it was calling me. In a split second, I felt this urge that I should have snatched it out of his neck. We arrived at the mansion. and found Zane having a fun time with his brothers in the liv- ing room.
“Zane! You left her stranded near the abandoned hotel.” Akin didn’t come to play. The moment he entered the living room, he started scolding Zane.
Everybody’s attention was directed to Zane, who closed his eyes before passing me a deadly glare for getting him in trouble and then muttered, “She was being clingy after we fucked in the classroom.” His words made me the object of everyone’s darting stares.
