Chapter 356

30 – Ben

“That’s something I definitely need to see,” Tommy chuckled, his mouth full as he continued eating his meal.

“We really have to dig deeper into this whole witch business. It sounds a lot like what Elara’s been dealing with over in Black Claw,” I said, glancing over at my Delta.

Jason had mentioned working alongside some of Ryker’s men, and he’d brought up magic too.

“When did you get a chance to talk to him? He’s been on the far side of the arena the entire time,” I asked.

“You were too busy with your whole ‘nobody’s good enough for Kennedy’ fight,” Calvin teased, grinning at his own jab.

“Shut it,” I snapped.

“Hey, he said it, not me. And honestly, neither of you are wrong,” Calvin shrugged, quickly finishing the last bite in his mouth before swallowing. “I’ve got to go see my girl now. I’ll catch up with you guys later.” He gave my back a friendly slap and walked off.

“How is that even possible? I got the impression Ken wasn’t doing well being here,” I muttered.

“Are you sure you’re not just projecting your worries?” Tommy asked, following me as we headed to toss out our trash.

“F*ck off. You felt it too, don’t pretend otherwise. The last time we all talked to her, she was off. She’s never been good at lying, not even for a second,” I said, my voice low but firm.

“Well, everyone here is in love with her, so it must be fine, right?” Tommy teased again.

“I just want to be sure Ken isn’t being forced into anything,” I admitted, concern tightening my chest.

“You know Ken. Would she ever let anyone force her to do something against her will?” Tommy asked, cocking an eyebrow.

“She’s human, Tommy. If someone wanted to, they could force her. And if that’s the case, I’m going to rip whoever did it to shreds,” I growled, my wolf stirring angrily inside me. Kennedy might not be mine, but that wouldn’t stop me from protecting her with everything I have.

“Well, I don’t think that’s what’s happening. And you need to get your head in the game—he’s coming over, and neither Kennedy nor Rayna will appreciate you starting trouble with him,” Tommy warned.

I glanced up just in time to see Jeremiah, Josh, and Ryker making their way toward us.

“You alright?” A hand landed on my shoulder, and I turned to see Jason standing beside me. I hadn’t even noticed him approach. He was trying to hide a smile.

“F*ck off,” was all I could manage. I sounded like an idiot, and I knew it, but I just couldn’t seem to fix the mess of emotions inside me. My agitation was obvious, and the last thing I needed was for someone to think I was trying to challenge Ryker. Kennedy wasn’t my mate—she wasn’t Elara. I knew that, yet the overwhelming need to protect her, to keep her safe at all costs, wouldn’t switch off. I took a deep breath, trying to distract myself. I couldn’t keep staring at Ryker like a fool. “Where were you anyway?” I asked Jason, forcing myself to focus fully on him.
