Chapter 4

Grabbing the microphone, he looked at the crowd. “Thank you all for coming! This was our best turnout in years! As always, please enjoy yourself, drink, eat and soak in the last bit of heat that is hanging around! There is a flyer about all our activities we have planned this year. Please take one and let Luna Callie know if you are able to attend or not. Thank you all for coming!” 

A round of applause erupted in the tent before the D.J. started playing more upbeat songs. “If you kids excuse us, we have a few people we still need to talk to.” Alpha Dylan waited for luna Callie to stand up.

“Also, you both better behave. I don’t want to break up any fighting either. Do not disrepect your mother in that way.” He glared at the two boys before walking off. 

“Why the fuck are you here?” Chase wasted no time in jumping on Luca. He leaned forward, looking completely pissed off. 

Luca looked like he was enjoying the whole thing. “Just catching up with family.” 

“Fucking bullshit. You always have an adgenda.” Chase glared at him. 

“Chase!” Nora leaned over and warned him. “Not here.” 

Grabbing my burbon, I was taking a drink when Chase grabbed my arm and pulled me up. Thankfully, I was able to dodge the ice, but the burbon ran down my chin. 

“Chase!” Nora growled as she grabbed a napkin for me.

Luca and Heath both jumped up, looking extremely pissed off. “Take your hands off her.” His voice sent chills down my spine. 

However, I was just as pissed off. Ripping my arm out of his, I glared at him. “I fucking told you I wasn’t doing this.” 

“Demi, you’re bleeding.” Nora grabbed my arm and held it up. There were claw marks on it. “Look what you did, Chase.” She glared at him. 

“I’m so sorry, Demi.” Chase tried to hold my arm. “Let’s get you cleaned up.” 

“No. I think you did enough.” 

She tried to lead me away. “No. I’m fine. I’ll heal soon enough.” Taking the water I hadn’t touched, I just wet a napkin and started to clean the blood off my arm. 

“Chase, why don’t you get Demi another drink?” Nora looked at him. 

Chase clenched his jaw but nodded and walked off. “Damn, this isn’t stopping.” Without waiting for anyone, I just grabbed another napkin and walked away. There was a first aid kit in the packhouse that I could use to stop the bleeding. 

Thankfully, no one was around to stop me. Only the guard that was posted around saw me, but didn’t comment on my arm. The slight breeze pulled my dress behind me, making it easier to go up the stairs and inside the packhouse. 

Thankfully, the bathroom was open. Shifting through the cabinets, I finally found what I was looking for. “Need some help?” My body froze for a second before I turned and saw Luca standing there in all his glory. 

“What exactly are you going to do to help me that I can’t do myself?” I knew it sounded bitchy, but I was just pissed off at the moment. Plus, I had alcohol and so anything was possible to come out of my mouth. 

“This.” Luca didn’t wait as he grabbed my arm forcefully and brought it to his lips. His other hand wrapped around my waist, yanking me against his body. His eyes held mine as his tongue licked the scratches until they stopped bleeding. The pleasure that shot through my body caused my knees to buckle. My eyes rolled back as an involentary moan escaped my lips. To make things worse, I could feel just how much Luca was enjoying the show. 

“That should do it.” He said after a moment. The moment he stopped licking me, my senses came back. Standing upright, I was able to gather myself as he moved my arm under the sink to clean it off. 

“Demi?” I could hear Chase’s urgency in his voice. 

“She’s in here.” Luca sighed. Pulling my arm out of the water, he used a towel to dry it off. Chase walked up and looked around at us. “In case you forgot, I have a medical background, and I came to make sure you didn’t nick an arty or something.” 

To his credit, he looked at the cuts like he was trying to figure out if they needed stitches. Chase cleared his throat. “Are you okay?” Looking past Luca, I was just how concerned Chase was. 

“I’m fine. I’ve had worse.” Shrugging, Luca glanced at me before grabbing some butterfly bandages. 

“I don’t think they need a stitch, but I’m going to put this on to make sure they heal without scaring.” 

“It was made by an Alpha. Of course it will scar.” Chase sighed and ran his hand over his face. 

Luca glanced at me and smirked before letting go of my hand. He left without saying another word. Chase waited until Luca was completely gone before he came up to me. “I’m sorry.” He tried to put his hand on my hips, but I pushed him away. 

“I warned you, Chase. You have been a little too agressive lately and pushy. If you can’t keep your hands to yourself…” 

“I know, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it. You look too damn good and it’s only hours before you are 18 and offically mine.” 

“Lets just go back out there and enjoy the evening. I want to catch up with Amelia and some other friends.” 

“Alright. I promise to be on my best behavior.” Chase leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Does it hurt?” 

“No, I’m fine.” I said, as we made our way back to the tent. I was very much away from just how open my slit was. My entire leg was out as we walked back in. Instantly, my eyes landed on Luca. He was talking to another girl with a smile on his face.
