Chapter 212
Chapter 212:
“Only bad boys can protect a good girl, you know,†Stephen shot back.
Debra, unwilling to lose the verbal battle, replied, “My friend can have any guy she wants. We’ll find her the biggest bad boy out there, better than your friend p>
Stephen raised an eyebrow at her comeback, lowering his head to meet Debra’s eyes, which caught her off guard.
His gamma blood showed in his confidence as he said,
“The biggest bad boy? Where are you going to find another bad boy like him? I can assure you, there’s no one like my future Alpha, Ian Dawson. He’ll turn the werewolf world upside down once he takes the throne p>
Ava was surprised by Stephen’s words. She had always thought Ian was a troublemaker and doubted he could ever be a good Alpha. How could an Alpha who spent all his time with girls be the leader of a pack?
It seemed to her that Stephen had too much confidence in Ian. Now she understood just how powerful the Power Gang was. Because they admired and respected each other so much, no one could break them apart.
Still, Stephen was talking about her, and Ava didn’t appreciate the idea that only Ian could protect her. Was she some sort of criminal who needed protection from punishment?
She glanced at Debra, who was staring Stephen down. Ava sighed, knowing that Debra was probably the only one who could stand up to Stephen. No other girl seemed to have the courage; even Nova had cried when Stephen scolded her. After all, he was a Gamma—his temper could flare at any time.
“Steph, I don’t want to hear anything more about him. I’m leaving the party. Come on, girls p>
Abigail nodded in agreement. Debra turned away from Stephen and walked out of the house. Stephen smirked and turned to Ava.
“I’ll have the driver take you home p>
“Hmm p>
New chapters now on
Ava started to leave, but paused and looked back at the birthday boy one last time.
He was deep in conversation with Ronald and didn’t notice her leaving, which she preferred. She took a deep breath and walked out.
She headed toward the car she had arrived in. Debra was already sitting in the backseat.
Ava and Abigail climbed in, and the car pulled away from the residence.
Debra turned her attention to Ava and said,
“Why is your brother like that p>
Ava was stunned. “Like what p>
“Like, so arrogant. Before, they used to talk about themselves, but now they’re chanting about their future Alpha. Did you see how mad he got when I mentioned another bad boy? It’s like he’s already decided you should end up with Ian p>
Ava’s lips parted in surprise. She could see Debra was genuinely annoyed.
Ava glanced at Abigail, and then both of them burst out laughing at Debra.
“What’s so funny, babes?†Debra asked.
“Babe, look at yourself. Someone finally beat you in a verbal fight. Seriously? I should give Stephen a prize for that,†Abigail said, laughing harder.
Debra rolled her eyes. “No way. I could have clapped back at him, but p>
“But what?†Ava asked when Debra paused.
