Page 93 of His Sunshine Baby

“I don’t know what game you’re playing, Diego, but it won’t last long. Next time you pull some shit like this, I’m banning you again, and for good this time!”

I can’t tell if Diego is listening to him or not, his eyes are riveted on me. I’m still growling, and Daniel has come over to my side to growl at him with me.

Clark has to run off to the hospital, but he keeps growling at Diego until he’s gone. As soon as our Alpha is out of sight, my ex walks over. I growl in warning.

“I told you to stay the fuck away from me.”

“Now at least I got your attention. Do I have to injure your friends every time? Or should I kill one?”

“You sicko.”

But he ignores Daniel as if it was just the two of us.

“So, what’s it gonna be, Elena? Shall we do this the easy way or the hard way?”

“What do you want? We are done, Diego. I don’t want to see you, hear you, or even breathe the same air as you!”

“Really? Do you have to act so pissed off? Just because we had a fight before we parted?”

I’m beyond furious right now. A fight? He calls what happened a mere fight? I want to kill him! But Daniel holds me back by biting my paw and then pulling my tail. I know I can’t fight Diego, but damn, I can’t even stand the sight of that bastard!

“We didn’t have a fight, Diego, you tried to fucking kill me!”

“No, you were the one who stabbed me, Elena! Who was trying to kill who, exactly?”

Moon Goddess, I still remember it all, way too vividly. Like it was yesterday. Every word, every hit, every wound. Like a fucking nightmare I have to live over and over again. I growl, barely containing my rage.

“You fucking raped me, Diego. You started it the second I said no and you kept insisting. You did it, you did that to me, and I fucking fought back exactly as I should have!”

“What the hell is wrong with you? That wasn’t rape, you were my girlfriend! I’m a wolf, and your mate, I could fuck you anytime I wanted! That wasn’t rape, that was merely us playing around! We are alphas, Elena, that was just a game like we always played! Because that’s what we’ve always done, right? Fighting, testing our limits!”

I can feel Daniel’s wolf, so disgusted at Diego’s words that he wants to jump in and kill him too. But I’m so furious it actually helps me focus and answer him coldly, like the current beneath the ice.

“No. There was a fucking limit, and you didn’t care about it. You never knew when to stop. You didn’t care about hurting me or anyone else. You thought I said no to ‘playing’ because that’s what you wanted to think, Diego. Being your girlfriend never meant it would be fine to fucking have sex with me when I didn’t want it.”

“Is that what you told the pack? That I raped you, really? Was it fun to play the victim to Clark and the others? You liked it, Elena, you--”

“I LOST MY CHILD TRYING TO FIGHT YOU OFF! TELL ME HOW I COULD HAVE EVER WANTED THAT!”

He growls back at me, acting angry for the first time.

“I didn’t know you were pregnant! You didn't tell me, how could I have known, huh? You fucking brought it upon yourself! The child died all because of you!”

Before I can even react, I suddenly see Daniel jump at Diego. I scream.

“DANNY, NO!”

For a second, I’m the most terrified I’ve ever been in my entire life. I think that’s it; my best friend is going to get killed in front of my eyes.

But right before they make contact, two other wolves jump in, pushing Danny to the side and out of Diego’s way. I immediately run in to bite my best friend’s ear, standing between him and Diego, and keeping him from getting killed.

“You idiot! You could have gotten yourself killed!”

Daniel doesn’t listen to me; he’s still growling furiously at Diego. However, with Levi right next to me holding him back too, he can’t get through. His older brother is growling at him as well, trying to get him to calm down.

“Let me through, Levi, this sucker needs a lesson!”

“Enough, Danny! You’re only going to get hurt and punished! Back off!”
