Chapter 34
Anastasia
“Driver, start the car!”
I ordered but Julian had already come forward and placed his hands on the car’s hood.
“Just talk to me Anastasia without running away for once.”
Julian banged his hands on the hood and I urged the driver to start the car again.
However, he did not.
Instead, he turned the ignition off and looked forward at Julian.
Julian thought the driver got scared by his antics and came running to open the car’s door but then I felt someone turn into a blur and push Julian away.
Getting his ass beaten by my father’s men had just been him holding back because he knew he had promised his mother to bring me without forcing me to come here.
But now that I knew I feared for my father’s driver getting beaten to the point he might die tonight.
I did not want that.
So I hurriedly opened the car door and pushed it open before stepping out to see Julian staring angrily at the driver.
Or who I had assumed to be the driver.
“Who the fuck are you?” Julian growled, dusting his clothes and staring down at the person standing in front of me.
“Oh, you forgot me already? I always knew you were a dickhead but this is the first time I am experiencing it in person.”
I went forward and looked at the driver whose back was facing me. He turned back to look at me and asked,
“Are you alright?”
I stared at him in shock.
“Sean? What are you doing here?”
Sean shrugged, “What I should have done long ago? Protecting you from this asshole.”

Julian came forward and punched Sean in the abdomen, taking him by surprise. Sean took only a second to retaliate and raised a hand to deliver a punch aimed straight at Julian’s face.
“No, wait. Stop fighting both of you.”
But neither was listening to me.
“Who the fuck are you to call me an asshole, bastard?” Julian growled, trapping Sean’s neck in his arms and trying to choke him.
“Let him go”
I screamed but Sean rammed his elbow into Julian’s stomach, sending him stumbling back.
“I am Sean Nordik, the son of beta Peter Nordik of the Nightfall pack. And it is my duty to protect the daughter of my alpha from assholes like you.”
Sean answered while Julian furrowed his eyebrows and tried to remember who he was.
“Wait, he is the future beta of your father’s pack?” Julian looked at me in surprise.
“His memory is already failing him” Sean smirked but Julian shook his head, “No, I remember you perfectly well, bastard. I am amused by the fact that you are still a future beta when I already became an alpha of my pack.”
Julian looked at him smugly while Sean gritted his teeth.
But I walked towards Sean to check if he was okay.
“Are you h
you hurt?”
Sean nodded his head. “I am fine.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“How come you are here?” I asked him and he answered, “Well I was just passing by when I heard the driver get a call from your father. I decided the driver would not be competent enough to bring you back home safely and I was proved right. It is good that I trusted.
my instincts.”
Sean placed a hand on my shoulder but Julian had reached forward and yanked it away from my body in a second.
Sean raised a hand to knock him out again but Julian was faster. He raised his left leg and kicked Sean hard, sending him skittering away to a nearby rock.
“Don’t you
dare touch what is not yours, Nordik.”
Julian stood beside me, or rather in front of me, putting himself between me and Sean.
“Julian! Stop it! There is no need to fight. We are leaving.”
But Julian shook his head, “I am not going to let you leave with that sleazy dog who cannot keep his hands off other women.T
Scan laughed, a very cruel and menacing laugh as he straightened and looked at him, jabbing his fingers in Julian’s direction.
“Look who’s talking! The very man who is currently leering at the woman who he left for somebody
else.”
“Nordik, stay out of this. I am warning you. This is a family matter between me and Anastasia.” Julian growled.
I placed my hands on my temples and rubbed my head. I felt a bad headache creeping up.
The last thing I wanted was more drama in my life
“Sean, just let us go” I tried to speak to Sean again and he nodded, “Yeah, let’s go
Again, he tried to place a hand on my back to safeguard me but Julian pulled it away and struck him hard, on the face.
This time, blood splattered out of Sean’s face and ran down his nose.
Hearing the angry yelling and commotion, a few guards came running outside. They saw Julian’s face sprayed with blood and then they saw Sean staring at him and it did not take them long to understand what was going on.
They all came around us and circled Sean, blocking his path to Julian.
“Tell
your dogs to move aside, Blackthorne.”
Julian raised an eyebrow. “This is not the academy and you are not a college going punk anymore, Nordik where you can roam around and fuck girls.”
Sean wiped his nose with the sleeve of his shirt and replied, “Same applies to you, Blackthorne. Though, you had always been a thorn in my eyes. I always wondered how the most talented and sweet girl could fall for a cheap bastard and fraudster like you.”
Julian snorted, “Didn’t take you a minute to accept that you were never in love with your mate, right? What was her name again? Jasmine? No, Julia right? Where is she?”
Julian pretended to look around as if he was searching for something and then added, “Oh, I see why you are here now. Didn’t you leave this state and the country-
to be with your mate? But instead of being with her, if you are running behind my wife to be her servant, that can only mean one thing right?”
Julian drawled in that annoying voice of his. He had always been an expert in making people angry and forcing them to act rashly which he could then use in his favor. He loved to goad people.
He was doing the same to Sean now.

“And what is that, Blackthorne?” Sean asked, pushing his chest out and rolling up his sleeves to look Julian in the eye.
Julian pushed his hands in his pockets as if he was enjoying this.
“That Julia dumped your ass. Just like you deserved it. You left your pack and home to run behind your mate so how could she know you would stay with her forever?”
I sighed. This was a low blow, even for Julian.
Goddess, when would he stop acting like a stubborn child? And why did this sound like some old feud between the two?
Sean one–upped him.
“No wonder her name rhymes with you. Birds of the same feather flock together. Or I should say, cheaters with the same name cannot stay loyal to their mates.”
This was going nowhere.
