Cindy moved fast. Her fist cracked against my jaw, splitting my bottom lip and rattling my teeth. But I barely felt it. I’d been hit worse.
Kill her.Bloodlust filled my beast.
I lunged.
For all the dominance she was pushing off, Cindy was really uncoordinated. She swung again when she should have kicked while my stance was unbalanced.
I grabbed her fist and twisted it behind her back, wrapping my arm around her throat as she started to scream.
“None of you sluts deserve–”
I tightened my hold, cutting off her airway.
“What is wrong with you?” I growled into her ear, turning around as the cameras made their way into the circle and giving her a second of privacy to chill out.
“Break it up!” Molly was running towards us with a security team flanking her.
“Are you trying to get kicked off the show?” I whispered, hoping to shake some sense into her.
Cindy’s body relaxed as she tapped my arm. “I’m good. Let me go.”
“Are you sure?”
She nodded.
I loosened my hold, prepared for her to attack again.
“Does someone want to tell me what happened?” Molly was brave for a human, standing in the circle of shifter females still sniffing for blood.
I put my hands in the air and stepped back.
“Cindy attacked me because her cousin got sent home.” Opal stood up straight.
“Aspen didn’t do anything. She was trying to help the Omega,” a female from the crowd spoke on my behalf.
I stared at the antler chandelier hanging from the ceiling, sensing Molly’s frustration. There was no way I was getting off that easy. In my pack, it didn’t matter who started it. Finishing it was what counted.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Molly spun to the camera crew. “Please tell me you got some action shots.”
Whatever apology I was about to come up with died on my tongue. I looked to the crowd, wondering if they were hearing the same thing I was, but now that there wasn’t a show, they were spreading out.
The cameraman shook his head.
Molly turned a shade of purple I’d never seen. “Next time, don’t gather around like this so we can get the fight on film.”
What?
Molly turned to me. “You’ve been pushing buttons since you got here. I’d watch it if I were you.”
“I’m….”
“Save it.” Molly marched off in her pointed heels.
“You better hope I don’t catch you messing with Chad again,” Cindy growled at Opal as the Omega turned tail and ran.
I glanced at Cindy from the corner of my eye. “Seriously?” She was just as bad as the inmates at the prison.
“TheOmegaknew this was coming.” Cindy pulled out her compact and checked her makeup.
