6- Abductions and alphas

Paul swears and raises a hand towards me, but it never connects. Bellamy catches him by the wrist and holds him firmly. When he speaks his tone is deadly.

“Get out. Never speak with Ryann again. I suggest you look into finding other accommodations since you are so against the presence of Magics.”

He doesn’t make any threats, but his tone and the look in his eyes is enough. Bellamy releases Paul who backs away before fleeing down the stairs to his own apartment.

I had hoped that this neighbour might last a little longer than the last few, it seemed it wasn’t going to happen.

Note–to–self: apologise to Maggie for scaring off her residents. I sigh.

“I shouldn’t have done that. He didn’t need to know that I’m a Magic. Now Maggie is going to have to get a new resident for the second floor again. She did warn me that he didn’t seem terribly open minded.” I grumble, more to myself than to Bellamy.

He shrugs. Suddenly he seems a lot less hostile, in the last minute he’s changed from opposition to ally.

Although I’m not sure he’s noticed the difference, but even his posture is different. Where before he was puffed up and seemed to be carefully watching me for sudden movements, now his shoulders have dropped and it feels like he is actually studying me rather than watching. for signs of danger or deception.

“The guy deserved what he got.” he seems distracted. He is staring at my arm, or more specifically where my sleeve has fallen down to cover my mark.

I tug it down further and glare at him. None of this would have happened if he hadn’t been banging down my door. He could have just knocked like a normal person. I really, really just want to go back to bed. I’ve been awake less than half an hour and already my life is falling to bits. I knew today wasn’t going to be a good day.
