Chaz freezes under Leo, shocked into submission.

“Leo, what’s going on?” Jonah’s voice echoes through the air. “Get up and let him go.”

“He assaulted her. I saw it with my own eyes.” Leo growls and shoves his hands into Chaz’s chest, pushing him as he gets to his feet.

My mind whirls as I watch two of my alphas face each other, with Chaz on the ground between them. Jonah curls his fingers into fists, his face twisting with his fury. But he’s not mad at Leo. He looks ready to join him in beating the shit out of Chaz. I scramble to my feet and take a step back, bracing myself for it. A part of me buzzes in anticipation. I’ve never seen something so hot as my alpha defending me in my life. It’s as hot as Adrian standing up to my dad.

“Mr. Broderik, get to your feet.” Jonah turns to me. “Ms. Carlisle, is that true? Are you okay?”

My mouth trembles, my body cooling as Chaz scowls at me, silently threatening me with his gaze. But I won’t let him intimidate me.

I nod my head. “It’s true. I was trying to go back to class, and he grabbed me. He’s trying to coerce me into dating him. I’ve already told him no.”

Tears burn the back of my throat. I had no idea how Chaz’s approach really affected me until this moment. How dare he think he could just put his hands on me. How dare he think he has the right.

Jonah growls and snatches Chaz by his arm, pulling it behind his back and restraining him. “You’ll be going to Dean Clearwater’s office, Mr. Broderik. We don’t tolerate harassment on campus, nor do we tolerate assault and ignoring another student’s lack of consent.”

“Mr. Hart, please. It was a mistake. This asshole is her dad. She’s too scared to speak up against him. He’s been trying to keep us apart.” Chaz flares his nostrils. “You should kick him off campus. He doesn’t belong here.”

Leo loses his cool and charges Chaz in Jonah’s arms. He grabs the front of his shirt and leans in. “I’m not her fucking father. I’m her fiancé. Now, leave her the hell alone, or you’re a dead man.”

Oh, shit.

Jonah shoves Leo back. I race forward and snatch his hand, pulling him away before he triggers Jonah into losing control and joining him. I can’t let them beat up Chaz despite how much I want them to. They’re faculty members. Chaz doesn’t know Leo works in the Athletics and PE Department. He wouldn’t, considering I doubt he’s ever lifted a weight or participated in a sport in his life.

“Her fiancé? You better fucking prepare yourself, asshole. I overheard her talking with her pack. They hate you.” Chaz flails in Jonah’s arms, but Jonah doesn’t let him go, pushing him in the direction of the administration building.

I squeeze Leo’s hand and tug him with me, forcing him to walk. I’m afraid we’ve caused too much attention. I fear someone will recognize us together. But I also know he needs me right now.

“Leo, take me home. I just want to go home,” I say, my voice quivering.

Leo scoops me in his arms and carries me in the direction of the staff parking lot. He doesn’t try to hide me. He doesn’t even care anymore.

Neither do I.

I’m tired of the world feeling against us, and now my family is turning against us too.

I can’t let that happen.

I won’t. I’d rather see the world burn.

“Just hug me. Hug me, so I don’t leave you to murder that asshole.” Leo buries his face into the crook of my neck, snuggling me and squeezing me as tightly as I do him. “I would have if Jonah hadn’t fucking intervened.”

“Then you’d be in prison. He’s not worth it.” I shift on the bed, straddling his lap, pinning him with my body.

“You’re worth it.” Leo growls, the vibration of his voice tingling over my skin.

“I need more than conjugal visits. Now please, just kiss me. Kiss me before my damn mouth whimpers. Kiss me until I forget.” I grab Leo’s hair, easing him away from my throat.

He bares his teeth with a rumble, but the noise isn’t threatening. It’s sexy as hell and demanding—like the sound of lust and desire with feral need. I tighten my fingers to the back of his neck, biting my nails into his skin. He flips me onto the bed and bows down, smashing his mouth to mine like our lips go to war for dominance.

I moan and spread my legs, letting him rest flush against my body. His tangy scent of lime explodes with flavor across my tongue, Leo deepening his kiss and leaving me breathless. He might win the battle for control now, but it won’t last. Not when I make him weak in the knees. Not when I feel the heat of his body on mine. Not when he gives me his knot. My mind and body are set.

“My dirty girl, you know exactly what I need,” Leo murmurs, stroking his fingers down my throat, leaving a trail of his scent behind.

“Which means you’re going to let me take care of you. I’ll make it so you never consider leaving this bed.” I push my hands to Leo’s chest, getting him to roll over again, giving me control back.

He grabs my shirt, pulling it up and over my head, exposing my bra to him.
