Clementine:
I widened my shoulders when I noticed the others stepping to the side, creating distance between us. Now that I knew the lurkers weren't just silently watching but were meant to intervene if things got messy, I grew confident.
"Yeah, back off, loser," I hissed. Haiden just turned slightly to give me a very quizzical glance. After that, he started facing the lurker again.
Those four alphas stood there as if their egos had just been crushed. Maybe they really had. They wanted to bully me everywhere, so they didn't like the fact that the lurker checked them.
The lurker stepped forward and handed me something silently. Everyone watched as I held a black, shiny card.
"Dinner card," I said, raising my head and staring at the lurker, who, I knew, wouldn't explain anything to me.
I turned it over and began reading something written on the back. It was the directions to the main building hall, where I could enjoy as much dinner as I pleased.
