Chapter 55 Seren

• My whole body shook. Total shock had taken over me at what had just happened. That was not the guy I had been enjoying spending time with. Alejandro had always been so charming. He had spent quite some time trying to convince me to even spend time with him... never for a moment had he come across in a negative way. Surely tonight had to be the affect of the drink, right?
• My body shuddered at the thought of what he had just done... or more accurately what he so nearly had done. Clearly, nobody is who you truly think they are. Anyone is capable of changing to gain what they want, I realized with a sinking heart. I did not want to see him again. Though, for the time being at least, that was not going to be an issue. Alejandro had wasted no time in running when Lachlan had given that opportunity. He would have been a fool not to, listening to the anger in Lachlan's voice. Warrior or not, Alejandro would be no competition for Lachlan. I just hoped when the morning came, they dealt with him properly.
• Lachlan’s arm remained around my shoulder, holding me close, as my head rested against his chest. The scent of him overpowering. Yet so reassuring. I hated that I felt safe there, but I felt too weak right now to put up any resistance to his embrace, so simply stayed where I was. “Did he hurt you, Ren?” He asked softly.
