    <b>Chapter </b><b>169</b>


    <b>Biancha </b>POV


    Toren <b>got </b>up, his <b>chest </b>vibrating with <b>a </b>menacing growl. <b>He </b>shoved me behind him and hissed <b>at </b>the boys. “What do you want?”


    The <b>boys </b><b>assessed </b>him. Toren had an intimidating presence with his tall, muscr and lithe frame. Yet, the boys didn’t seem to take that into consideration. They constantly <b>peeped </b>over his shoulder to look at me.


    “We know you love her,<b>” </b>said one of them lewdly. “How about we all share her?<b>”</b>


    “Fuck off!” Toren gritted. <b>“</b><b>Go </b><b>away </b>before I kill you!”


    They startedughing. “He thinks he can <b>take </b>the three of us,” said the one who talked about sharing me. Suddenly, he took out a knife. “My knife hasn’t tasted blood in a long time. How about we kill you and take the prized possession?” he said, ncing at me with lustful eyes.


    Toren’s rage was like a volcano that just erupted. Before I could stop him, he charged at the boys<b>. </b>He twisted the hand of the first boy who had the knife, fracturing it. The boy screamed in pain <b>as </b>he looked at him. Toren wasted no time. He kicked the second guy in his belly, sending him down the knoll, rolling and crying in pain. I suspected his ribs were broken. And in the end, Toren took the third boy who he picked up from the ground and tossed him against a tree on the foot of the knoll. The boy grunted in pain <b>as </b>he slumped unconscious, breaking branches and bones. The third boy looked <b>at </b>us in horror. He backed a little and then ran away.


    <b>Toren </b>caught my hand and took me back to the car, muttering curses under his breath. As I passed the two boys, <b>I </b>couldn’t help feeling that this <b>wasn’t </b>the <bst</b>. The realization that I <b>was </b>the primary cause of trouble <b>was </b>sinking in. The incident left me shaken. Toren gripped my hand as he drove back to the hotel in silence and barely kept the rage.


    <b>“</b><b>I </b>should’ve killed that bastard!” he growled.


    <b>I </b>remained silent, wondering what to do now. This was bing repetitive, and I had no answers. When we reached the hotel, he didn’t leave my hand and went to his room holding me. <b>As </b>soon <b>as </b>we were inside, he pulled me to his chest and hugged me tightly, dipping his head in my neck. I could sense that he needed an <b>assurance </b>that I <b>was </b>near him, with him, because even I needed this assurance.


    <b>Were </b><b>we </b>mates? The question nagged my mind like a thorn that I wanted to weed out. The notion that I was his mate <b>was </b>overwhelming. And the notion that I wasn’t his mate <b>was </b>crushing. Like <b>I </b>couldn’t breathe.


    “Toren,” <b>I </b>murmured in his chest. “What <b>is </b>going on?” Fear started taking roots in

    He pulled <b>back </b>and cupped my cheeks. “Nothing<b>… </b>just don’t worry, okay?<b>”</b>


    But how could I not <b>worry</b>? This <b>was </b>the third time he had put himself in jeopardy. I needed to know <b>a </b>solution <b>to </b>end this<b>. </b>And the only solution <b>was </b>to <b>go </b><b>away </b><b>as </b><b>far </b>as possible from him. Realization crashed heavy on my shoulders that I loved Toren. I hated when he <b>was </b>injured or when he had to fight every single <b>person </b>to keep me <b>safe</b>. How many men was he going to fight?


    ??


    raspy <b>voice</b><b>. </b>“I


    want to <b>leave</b>.”


    Cupping his hands <b>over </b><b>my </b>cheeks<b>, </b>tears welled in my <b>eyes</b><b>. </b>“I want to go,” <b>I </b>said in


    His brows <b>furrowed</b>. “<b>No</b><b>, </b><b>you won’t</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>he <b>said </b><b>so </b>firmly that his alpha aura spilled. “You are not going anywhere<b>. </b>You


    <b>I </b>shook <b>my </b>head. “<b>But—</b>”


    <b>get </b><b>that</b><b>?</b><b>”</b>


    <b>me </b>you <b>won’t </b><b>leave </b>me<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    He ced his finger on my <b>lips</b><b>. </b><b>“</b>No! We are going to find <b>a </b>solution <b>to </b>this problem, but promise


    His chest was rising and falling <b>as </b>he <b>said </b>those <b>words </b>to him. But I had decided. <b>“</b>Okay…<b>” </b>I said.


    For the next two <b>days</b>, <b>I </b>was holed <b>up </b>in my room. With nowhere <b>to </b>go, I devoured the books that Aiden had <b>got</b>. At the end, only one question came to my mind–was there something different about my <b>genes?</b>


    Nina called me on the third <b>day </b>and informed me <b>that </b><b>James </b><b>had </b>hired a new waitress. “I’m so sorry<b>, </b><b>Bia</b><b>,” </b>she consoled me. <b>“</b><b>I </b><b>didn’t </b>know that he would hire someone so fast. But he said <b>that </b><b>he </b>would take you back <b>once </b>this shit <b>is </b><b>over</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>


    “No,” I said through my <b>tears </b>of losing the only job I ever <b>had</b><b>. </b>“How could <b>he </b>not hire <b>again</b>? I’m aware of the <b>heavy </b>workload<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    <b>Nina </b>took <b>a </b>deep breath in. <b>“</b><b>You’re </b><b>lucky </b><b>that </b>someone is <b>helping </b>you, <b>Bia</b>. Else I don’t know where you <b>would </b>have been<b>.”</b>


    “Yeah!” I rasped. I couldn’t <b>talk </b><b>any </b>further, so I disconnected the <b>call</b>. Picking <b>up </b>a pillow<b>, I </b>crashed it on my <b>face </b>and sobbed. <b>Toren </b>and Aiden weren’t there in the room and so I cried till I couldn’t. This was the end of my <b>life </b>in Cedar town, I knew James would never take me back.


    <b>It </b>was 11PM and the perfect time to escape. So <b>I </b><b>packed </b><b>up </b><b>a </b><b>small </b>bag with some clothes, stashed the cash in my <b>wallet </b>and did what I had to. I booked a bus ticket to the farthest location I could find from Cedar. Perhaps I was going <b>to </b><b>be </b>safe over there. And if not<b>, </b>I’ll be <b>a </b>nun. At least I’d be <b>safe </b><b>in </b><b>a </b>church.

    <b>I </b>gripped the <b>strap </b><b>of </b>my satchel on my chest <b>as </b><b>I </b>walked out <b>of </b>the room. I wanted to <b>leave </b><b>a </b>goodbye note to Toren for helping me, but if I did that<b>, </b>I knew he would start finding me immediately. If <b>I </b>wanted to vanish from his life, I had to have some time in my hand. He had grown incredibly protective of me recently, so <b>I </b>doubted he would handle it well.


    Slipping out of the hotel was <b>easy</b><b>, </b><b>since </b>it was dark. There were very few people in the lobby. I wore a hoodie and a mask over my mouth so that they didn’t <b>recognize </b>me. The Uber I had called <b>was </b>waiting for me. Looking around to check if the boys <b>were </b><b>back</b>, I jumped in the car. “Bus terminal,” I instructed the driver<b>, </b>who gave me wary looks.


    We reached the terminus in less than half an hour. I handed him the <b>cash </b>and headed to the bus. Thankfully, there were very few people inside. I rushed <b>to </b>sit in the <bst</b>, my heart full of misery for leaving the only man who loved me in all my life. But I was leaving this ce so that he was safe. <b>I </b>stifled another bout of tears and <b>sat </b>down in the corner <b>seat</b>.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Ten minutester, the driver came and started the bus. <b>It </b>soon rolled on the highway, and I took a deep breath in as I looked at the town that I had <b>grown </b>so fond <b>of</b>. The town where I met Toren. Could I ever forget him? I don’t think so. A hole the <b>size </b>of the town <b>was </b>carved into my chest and I couldn’t stop crying silently. Suddenly, the bus screeched to a halt.


    “Heyy!” the people inside shouted. “What the fuck are you doing?<b>” </b>a man grunted to the driver. But the driver sat in his ce, frozen. Blood from his <b>face </b>had drained as he <b>stared </b>at someone or something in the dark. “Who the fuck <b>is </b>there?” the man shouted.


    The driver’s <b>face </b>morphed from shock to anger. <b>“</b>A boy <b>is </b>standing in front of the bus,” he shouted, getting up. “Do you want to die?<b>” </b>As he pressed the button to open the door and stood up, I heard heavy footsteps approaching inside.


    My <b>eyes </b>widened in stunned shock as <b>I </b>saw a furious Torening my way. “Toren!” I breathed.


    <b>“</b>I told you to <b>have </b>faith in me!” he growled, pulling me up by my upper arm.


    “You don’t understand!” I protested.


    He dragged me out of the bus, much to everyone’s surprise.


    “Lady, you need help?” the driver asked.


    <b>“</b>No!” I didn’t want Toren to be another controversy because

    He <b>dragged </b>me to his <b>car </b>and shoved me inside it beforeing next to me<b>. </b>Aiden <b>was </b>already on the wheels.

    <b>No</b><b>, </b>no<b>, </b>no<b>.</b>


    Aiden tossed <b>a </b>small potion bottle to me. “Drink this<b>.</b><b>”</b>
