Chapter 19

Raina didn't know how they did it, but suddenly Cass and Noah were standing in front of her, their body language protective. Cass's arms were crossed tightly over her chest, her eyes were narrowed on Mateo.

"Who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you touching my friend?" she demanded without missing a beat.

Mateo didn't even look at her. He hadn't taken his eyes off Raina once since downing Darcy, who was still picking himself up off the floor, a dazed expression plastered on his face.

"You got here faster than I thought you would," Raina noted, her gaze on Mateo. She still didn't entirely trust him not to throw her into a table. He looked really pissed.

"I always know where you are, chica. Every step of the way. Everywhere you go. I'm never far away." His words could be taken as either comforting or as a threat. Raina didn't want to take them either way.
