Samantha walked into the kitchen and found a few boys trying to scare Amanda and Lucretia.
«Where is he?» the one looking like the leader asked.
«He?» Lucretia said. «Who are you talking about?»
She didn't look concerned, but Amanda's face was white like a sheet. There were water and glasses shattered in front of her, on the floor, and she couldn't move her eyes away from the boys. Her body had frozen in place because of the panic.
«He thinks he can take the Alpha's place just like this, ah? He's wounded now. What better moment than now to get rid of him...»
«Don't be a jerk!» Lucretia replied, crossing her arms. «Renato stayed here to defend us. He has every right to remain here and recover.»
«If I were the Alpha, you would keep your place, Lucretia,» the boy said. «Renato doesn't spare a glance for you... Aren't you tired of running after him already?»
