Chapter 96

“Well s hit, man. I thought I was gonna die from everyone staring at us like that. Made me feel like a celebrity with the latest cheating scandal.”

He shakes his head with the puff of his cheeks,

“Remind me never to give you any Gala invitations ever again.”

I chuckle softly, watching Mailia comfort him by running her hand soothingly down his arm. Walking down the marble hallway, Noah lets out an exhausted sigh and I remember the tension between him and Weston. The kind of tension i could never expect from two playful men.

I look at him questiongingly and he raised a brow,

“What?”

“What was with you and Raizel’s Beta? Weston?”

The moment he hears that name, he frowns and looks annoyed.

“I don’t like him.”

He mumbles with a pout.

“But he seems to act just like you.’

Noah’s frown deepened as he looked at me.

“Exactly.”

This time I laugh when Mailia kisses his cheek in attempt to lift his mood in which his face scrunches up. The good mood doesn’t last long however, because a strong scent filters in my nostrils. I shiver is revulsion. My body rejecting his presence with everything inside me.

Landon.

My wolf who’d been excitedly swaying her tail and barking out froze before snorting, laying down on her belly and watched with little to no interest when she saw our ex-mate. I sigh, turning around to find him standing there alone. Body heaving up and down with his outer appearance looking disheveled. His dark hair messy from the amount of times he must’ve ran his fingers through them. He stared at me with narrow, feral eyes. Fury lacing his stance as the veins on his neck popped out. His apparent anger rolled off of him, making Mailia flinch as Noah shielded her body with his. His wolf didn’t like the threat he felt imposing on us, trying to take over his body in order to protect both his mate and Alpha.

“Noah, take Mailia and get in the van. I’ll be right there.”

Landon’s gaze never strayed away from me even when Noah reluctantly pulled Mailia into his chest and led her out. He knew better than to protest when an angry near-to-shifting Alpha was involved.

Their footsteps soon silenced into nothingness, leaving Landon and I staring at each other under the heavy cloud of tension. I crossed my arms over my chest.

Faint sounds of chattering could be heard but the one thing resounding from between us is the low snarl gritting out from his teeth. His narrowed eyes glared down at me. With an aggravated expression he begins to stalk toward me with the look of pure determination on his face.

“What the f uck was that, Selene?”

My own glare mirrored his, anger surfacing from my wolf. My arms fell to my sides as I clenched my jaw. My wolf resented his anger at us and snarled viciously. Red eyes cutting into him but he’s unfazed.

In fact, he doesn’t even take notice of the amount of power I’m emitting out. He’s too

engulfed in his own emotions to notice the danger he was in.

“Mind the way you speak to me, Alpha Walker. I don’t take to disrespect.”

He flinched from my tone, a flash of hurt in his gaze but it quickly disappeared. His anger once again making its appearance. He saw me as a mate first before an Alpha. A mate he shouldn’t ever consider me as.

“What is going on between you and Locksworth?”

He deadpanned. His clenched fists shaking from his emotions. It took one wrong thing to say to make him snap from his self restraint. His wolf was going crazy, surely trying to urge him to mark me. The idea of another man taking his place putting him in a frenzy.

“I don’t see where my relationship with Raizel is of your concern.”

His eyes widened before his glaring came back full force,

“You call him by his first name?”

S hit.

“Like I said, it’s not your concern.”

”

I bit back roughly. There was a slight redness in my cheeks. A redness he very clearly didn’t like.

“Bul lsh it!”

His fist crashed against the wall, a dent with the size of his fist imprinted on the marble. His harsh, deep voice echoing down the hall until it bounced off the walls and rang back to me. His outburst would’ve scared anyone under the Alpha position, but it mostly annoyed me more than anything. Fear was never an option when dealing with Landon. He could throw tantrums all he wants, but nothing he could do would ever make me submit.

“You’re my mate! Anything you do is of my concern!”

He grounds out, teeth violently clenching against each other. Thick streams of rage flowed through my veins. My wolf begging me to let her loose and allow her to inflict her fury on him but I refrained. I don’t let him see how much his words affect me and instead I smile.

I smiled so sickeningly sweet even i was surprised.

“It didn’t seem to concern you when you chose my sister, nor did it concern you when I was dying in Duskfall.”

For the first time since he got here, he was speechless. His mouth flew open to retort but it closed when he knew he couldnt say anything back. The fire in his eyes diminished and guilt struck him like a nerve. His wolf had went quiet with nothing in his defense.
