“Now!” she scened as she raised her hand to land another slap, but I caught it by the wrist.

Not even my own mate.

I turned my head to look down on her and fuck it if I scared her. She was already afraid of me, tobegin with. But her eyes held me frozen in place. They burned with ge but behind it was pain. Itwasn't caused by me but by someone else Luca flashed his canines in my mind.

To be honest, I let thought she was insane until I met mine. The fullt i alt farscrewing around beforeher, yored me to the point that I started thinking she would reject if she found out. But when I cameclean, she didn't. and I'd never touched another since:

#Hello? Liam? Are you listening to me?” she asked, waving a nd in my face.

Moving across the room, I sat on the chuch, waiting for her to come over. This would be a long talkand she was already ranting

“I can't believe you'd try to fuck her when we're supposed to be helping her,” she said, standing infront of me with a hand on her hip. “Helping, Liam. Whato n earth possessed you to fuck her?There she goes again with her overthinking

I turned to my side to face her. There was ng point in brating around the buch. Sighing, I confessed.“She's my mate.

Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She gaped at me for an uncomfortable amount of time andI had to tip her jaw to close it.

“She's my mate,” I repeated, and she leaned back as she gasped.
