The music was a fast beat, and she loved that Pam didn’t care and just danced, swinging her arms from side to side, shaking her butt, and just getting into the song. Adele was a little more reserved, but still she danced, swaying, and holding one hand up in the air, while the other was across her waist. Lisa didn’t know how to dance, so she just let the beat wash over her and tried not to think about Shadow.
Although, she couldn’t help but think about him. Why did life have to be so cruel, to let her fall in love with a man who was never going to love her back? They were not destined to be together.
A hand banded around her waist, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“You look so freaking sexy, I think it is time I took you home.”
Lisa wasn’t used to pick-up lines, and this one had to be a little rusty, as it fell so flat. She nearly burst out laughing and was about to do just that, when a sudden growl seemed to bring the music to a stop.
Lisa didn’t have much time to react before the guy who’d attempted to flirt with her was suddenly picked up. He looked like a rag doll as Shadow held him by the scruff of his shirt. She’d seen it happen in movies but not in real life. She hated when people caused scenes.
“Shadow, what are you doing?”
“Who the fuck do you think you are, touching her!” Shadow growled the words out.
Lisa saw his flesh seeming to change, and she was pretty sure she saw the shade of his wolf. He’d once told her what his wolf looked like. He was a white and grey wolf, tall, but serene. She’d never seen him as a wolf, but she had a horrible feeling that was happening now.
Rushing to him, she grabbed his arm. “Shadow, stop!”
“Pam!”
To Lisa’s surprise, her friend grabbed her and began to pull her away.
“What the hell are you doing?” Lisa asked.
She felt so annoyed, then angry, and then irritated. The emotions flashed through her quite fast, and the moment they left the bar, Lisa spun around and then shoved at her friend. She had no idea how she was able to do it, but with a single shove of her hands, Pam fell a few feet away from her.
Lisa frowned, glancing down at her hands and then toward her friend. She had no idea what she had done and how she was even capable of doing it. There was no time to figure it out, as Pam got to her feet and then Shadow stepped out of the bar.
“You had no right to do that,” Lisa said, this time pushing him.
Any power she thought she had must have been brief, because he didn’t budge, not even for a second. She growled. So angry at him.
“I was saving you. Is that what you want?” he asked. “To be pawed at by every random stranger?”
It wasn’t, but he didn’t need to know that. “It’s none of your business what I do or don’t do. You don’t get a say in anything for me. Remember, you’re just after a good time.”
“All that asshole was after was a good time, and let me guess, you’re more than happy to give him a good time but I’m out in the cold. If you’re willing to give someone a good time, then it should be me.”
Tears filled her eyes, because once again he didn’t give a shit about what he’d done.
“I hate you,” she said.
She removed the heels from her feet and began to walk away.
“Lisa,” Pam said. “Come on, get in the car, I’ll take you home.”
“No, you go home with him. This was a big mistake, and do me a favor, don’t bother coming around to pretend you’re my friend.”
With that, she turned her back on them and began to walk away, going home. She heard footsteps, and she raised her hand holding the shoe, about to attack whoever dared approach her, only to stop herself as she caught sight of Adele.
“Whoa, please don’t attack me. I come in peace and all that. I’m only here to be your friend.” Adele held her hands up.
“You’re not going to try and convince me to be with him, are you?”
“No, no, but you also said I could stay at your place tonight, and seeing as all my stuff is there, I kind of need to come home with you.”
All the fight left Lisa, and Adele approached her, sliding a hand into hers.
“Are you all right?” Adele asked.
“No.”
“Is there anything I can do to make it all right?”
She shook her head. “There’s nothing.”
Adele sighed. They walked side by side, and her friend rested her head on her shoulder. The truth was, Adele was already doing enough by coming with her. She couldn’t believe Pam had done that.
