“Maybe we need to pull him out of his bubble,” I murmur, already imagining all kinds of depraved and wicked things.
“Don’t scare off the rabbit,” Lee cautions. “Brooks said he ran out of his class, and all I can imagine is that the hounds of hell were following him.”
“You have your poetic moments, but the little beta should know that if he runs from me, I’ll be more than willing to chase him,” I murmur. “Keep digging. Find out what his cash flow situation is like. There are plenty of students looking for work right now.”
“Speaking of that, I’m working an angle. I haven’t had a lot of time yet to put it into action, but I overheard him muttering to himself when he walked past the job board in the Student Union,” Lee says. “Camden tends to talk to himself when he’s thinking really hard about something.”
The little beta is adorable, and while that would endear him to anyone else, it just makes me wonder if he’d cry for me while gagging on my cock.
“Are you thinking about jobs he can do that we can control?” I ask as my building comes up in front of me.
“You know it,” Lee grunts. “He’s in that building too for his second to last class today. You need to work off some of that dark energy or you’re going to make someone piss their pants.”
Grinning, I nod as I part ways with Lee. He’s right, I want to hunt, fuck, and destroy. Brooks has football and hides his own chaotic darkness by leaving it out on the field. However, I have to take it out on the weights in the gym, or by terrorizing the freshmen who make the mistake of pissing me off in some way or another..
It’s a rough job, but it’s working for me. Doesn’t hurt that it helps keep the school in check and people in their place.
Stalking through the door of the History building, I snarl at a guy to move out of the way. His strangled yelp makes my lips curl into a smirk as I take the stairs two at a time. I’ve memorized Camden’s schedule, but prefer to watch him from the shadows. I make sure he sees me occasionally to watch him jump.
People without secrets shouldn’t be that damn twitchy, regardless of the amount of caffeine he ingests. Frowning, I move down the hallway of the second floor, leaning against the wall as I watch the door, four doors away from me, open. It’s the perfect place to watch students empty out of the classroom. Settling in with my tattooed arms crossed over my chest, I wait for Camden to appear, glaring at anyone who isn’t him.
The little beta is taking forever, my mood getting darker as I wait. I am not patient, though it’ll be much sweeter when I unleash my version of hell on him.
Fuck, there he is. His pink hair pops out from behind the door, and I realize he was waiting for the classroom to empty before leaving. This isn’t going to save him, especially since he’s going to make me late to my next class.
Camden walks quickly into the hallway, his hand swiping through his hair nervously as his eyes bounce over people. My lips widen into an evil smile when he comes close and sees me, his gasp making my cock hard. Lunging forward, I uncross my arms to grab his shirt and propel him closer to me. There’s a janitor's closet that I purposely stood near for this purpose, opening the door and dragging him in.
I spare a moment to glance over my shoulder to see if anyone is going to give me shit for having a private moment with the beta, nodding when I see everyone paying attention to their own business. Slamming the door behind me, I let the darkness work in my favor as I slam Camden against the wall.
“What…what do you want?” he asks, gasping.
“It’s more about what you’re doing,” I purr, enjoying the way he shivers against me.
Wrapping my hand around his throat, I groan as I feel the beat of his pulse wildly against it.
“You’ve been so quiet, little one,” I murmur, burying my nose into his neck. He gasps as my hand squeezes possessively around the column of his throat. “Do you not appreciate campus life outside of partying?”
“I just want to go to classes and do my work,” he rasps. “I’m no one, River.”
“Fuck, but you are!” I growl, a low deep rumbling in my chest. Part in anger of this little beta who thinks he can lie to my face and part arousal at the fear in his eyes. “I just don’t know why you’re affecting me. Have you noticed that you have shadows now?”
Leaning back, I watch the terrified emotions crawl over his features as he trembles in my grasp. There’s just enough ambient light to enjoy it all. His chest is heaving, pupils enlarged. Fuck, yeah that’s a pretty sight.
I know he can hear me, and I definitely know I’m not squeezing enough for him not to be able to speak. My thumb taps along his skin, waiting for his words.
“Yes,” he rasps, shuddering. “Why is that? You’re in my classes, and I see you everywhere. You’re just wasting your time for nothing. I literally just go to school and my dorm. Nothing worth all the effort you're putting in. For no reason might I add. I’ve done nothing to warrant whatever has gotten you to choose me as a target. I’ve done nothing to you.”
“How we choose to spend our time is our business,” I say mildly. “If you don’t have anything to hide, then why should it matter?”
“You’re all really fucking scary,” Camden says. “I just want to go to school, that’s it. Leave me alone.”
It’s cute that he thinks he has any sway over what we do.
Leaning in until my lips brush against his, I smirk as my knee brushes against his erection. The little rabbit is aroused. Maybe he’ll be perfect for our fucked up games.
“You want us to leave you be? Then prove we have nothing to worry about,” I growl. “You come and go when we tell you to, and you’re going to stop hiding. Is that understood, have I made myself clear?”
Stepping away, I let go of him, enjoying the way he collapses onto his ass, looking up at me with fear laced eyes making my cock twitch against my jeans.
