Free Alpha's Arrangement (Troubled Fork Shifters (Book 2)) by Gabrielle Demonico Page A

even having to turn around, Emma knew who’d said it.
    ***
    She turned around.
    “ Devon… What are you doing here?” she said. “How did you even find me?”
    “ Easy. I installed a tracking app on your phone.” Devon replied.
    “What!?” she exclaimed.
    “You don’t return my texts anymore.” He said. “I told you I wanted to see you and it turns out that I was right all along! What the fuck, Emma?”
    Alexander interjected. “Hey, take it easy. Emma what’s going on here?”
    Without looking at him Emma replied, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
    “Yeah, don’t worry about it asshole.” Devon said.
    Alexander’s body stiffened.
    “No, Alexander. ” Emma said as she grabbed on to his arm.
    “Emma, what is going on here? Who's he?” Alexander asked.
    “It’s my boyfr… ex-boyfriend. ” She said.” I’ll explain later. Please don’t do anything.”
    Alexander relaxed his posture as Emma turned her attention back towards Devon.
    “Is this him? Is this the guy?” Devon said. He was growing angrier by the second.
    “Devon, I told you. I didn’t want to see you anymore.” Emma replied. “Why have you come here?”
    “Because you are mine, Emma. Nothing and no one is going to stop that from happening.”
    “Devon, I am going to ask you one time. Please leave. I don’t want to be with you. It’s over.”
    In a sudden movement, he lurched forward and grabbed her. Emma shrieked. He spun her body around so that she faced Alexander and Trina.
    “I will decide when it is over, Emma.” He said as he pulled her into his torso. “Do you hear me you cheating little bitch?”
    Emma struggled in his grasp. “Let me go Devon, you lunatic! You are hurting me!”
    Alexander rested Trina against the trunk of his car and stepped towards them.
    “Take your hands off of her right now.” He said.
    “Or what?” Devon replied. “What the hell are you gonna do about it?”
    “No, Alexander, please.” Emma begged.
    “Let her go or I promise that you will find out.” Alexander said.
    “Man, fuck you!” Devon exclaimed. “What? You steal my girl? Do you think I am just going to let that happen? You’ve got another thing coming dirt ball.”
    “Hey, easy pal. No one stole anything from anyone.” Alexander replied. “Emma doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Why don’t you just take it like a man and let the lady go?”
    Devon scoffed. “Tell you what, pretty boy, why don’t you go fuck yourself?” he said. “Do you think I give two shits about what you think?”
    Alexander laughed.
    “What is so goddamn funny?” Devon said.
    “Bro, I’m gonna lay it all out for you.” Alexander said. “Either you leave in peace or in pieces. It’s your choice.”
    “Man, fuck you!” Devon shouted. “Just who the hell do you think you are talking to?” In a flash, he released Emma and shoved her to the side. When he did, she tripped and hit the ground.
    “Emma!” Trina exclaimed.
    Stunned but okay, Emma scrambled to her feet and returned to Trina’s side.
    As she did Alexander said, “Are you alright?”
    “Yes .” she said.
    He turned his attention back towards Devon. “Hey man, I’m not gonna tell you again.” He said. “ This is your last warning.”
    Devon rushed toward Alexander.
    “What the fuck are you gonna do?” Devon said as he stood less than six inches from Alexander.
    Alexander turned towards Emma and said, “Emma, get back. Now!”
    This was insane. In her entire life, Emma couldn’t recall two men so much as wait to hold the door open for her. Now, in the blink of any eye, two brawny shifters were on the verge of an all out battle. She wanted to speak, to protest and put an end to the madness that unfolded but the resolution to this conflict was outside of her control.
    Before she even realized what had happened, both men had shifted. And now, two wolves of near equal size stood before her and Trina. Devon’s coat was tan with patches of black underneath and
