Chapter 11. 1-0

"Is this fucker for real!" I snapped at Sage, who was ignoring me to make sappy eyes at Kane.

"Goddess, give me strength!" I grumbled, looking at Kane with perplexity.

"You know I am not twelve anymore, right?" I sighed at Kane with exasperation, holding my hand out. "Can I have my phone back, please!"

"No!" He grumbled, his face tightening uncomfortably. "Come stand with your family, let people see you, Charlotte, instead of hiding back here."

"I wasn't hiding!" I barked, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.

"Texting your 'boyfriend' then!" He sarcastically muttered. I narrowed my eyes at him, overcome with an unfamiliar emotion I didn't want to acknowledge.

"Kane!" I started to say, stepping into him and ignoring the hand that he held out to me. "Let me, and you get something straight right now." The way his eyes blackened and the air around us became thin told me I was playing a dangerous game with this alpha male.
