Hannah
| wiped the sweat from my face and neck with a towel, gulping down water from my bottle. My muscles ached
pleasantly from the intense workout, my limbs feeling delightfully loose and limber.
“Great session today, Hannah,” Drake said, clappingon the shoulder. He might have even been more
breathless than | was. “You really gavea run for my money.”
“I'm glad to know I've finally put you in your place, Drake.”
Drake grinned roguishly and guzzled down his own water.
“Speaking of putting men in their place,” Viona cooed, leaning against the ropes surrounding the sparring ring,
“how was your date the other night? Was Alpha David just as much of a bastard as he seems?”
| groaned, remembering the disaster of a date with David. “It was awful,” | grunted, grabbing my towel and
slipping beneath the ropes. “A complete waste of time, actually. | should have just stayed home.” “That bad,

| sighed as | shoved my things into my bag. “David was arrogant the entire time, barely listened to anything |
said. And then at the end of the night, he got mad that | wouldn't sleep with him on the first date. He even
kissedwithout my permission. Said something along the lines ofowing him for buyingan expensive
dinner.”
“Ew.” Viona shook her head, short hair bobbing around her face. “I'm sorry, Hannah. Men are disgusting.” She
glanced at Drake, who was hopping down from the sparring ring now too. “No offense.”
Drake smirked. “None taken. Men are indeed disgusting.”
I shrugged and waved my hand. “It's whatever, really. | just don’t think I'm ready to get back into the dating
scene, that's all.”
“Hey, don’t let one bad experience put you off,” Drake said gently. “In all seriousness, there are sgood guys
out there.”
“I know,” | replied. “It’s just... it was kind of scary, you know? | forgot how vulnerable dating can make you feel.”
Viona nodded sympathetically. “I get it. Take your time, Hannah. There's no rush.”
After a moment of silence, Viona spoke up again. “But... are you bringing a plus one to the wedding?”
| shook my head. “No, I'm going alone. At first, | thought about bringing someone just to shove it in Noah's face,
but... I've decided | would rather go by myself than with someone | don’t even like.”
Drake and Viona exchanged glances. “Are you sure?” Drake asked. “I can go with you, if you wa-"
“No,” | said quickly, glancing at Viona, Her face was impassive, and | knew she wouldn't care, but still. It felt...
wrong now that they were a thing. “I can handle it on my own.”
The parking garage was dimly lit as | made my way out to my car a little while later, the fluorescent lights
flickering ominously. For all my big talk of being able to handle myself earlier, one thing was for certain:

As | made my way to my car, digging through my purse with my keys, | shivered. Maybe it was just the eerie
atmosphere, but | felt like | was being watched. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and | quickened my
pace.
Fumbling with my keys, | dropped them on the ground next to my car. “Shit,” | muttered, bending to pick them
up.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. My heart rate spiked as | recognized David, his eyes glazed over.
“Well, well,” he slurred, stumbling toward me. “If it isn’t the little tease herself.”
| backed up against my car, my hand instinctively reaching for my phone. “David, what are you doing here?”
He closed the distance between us, and this close, | could smell whiskey on his breath. He'd been drinking. A lot.
“I've been thinking about our date,” he said, his words blurring together. “You're quite the little playgirl, aren't
you?”
“What are you talking about?”
Before | could slip away, David leaned in, his body pressingagainst the car. “Don’t play dumb, Hannah. | saw
the way you were looking atduring dinner. Your body language... | know you wantedand you're just
getting off on the chase.”
