Chapter 27 Caden’s POV 95% 11226 My ears twitch as I listen in on their conversation. What could he be saying that’s making her laugh that hard! My lips curl, releasing a growl when I hear her tell him that I’m simply a friend of hers. A f u ck i n g friend?! Is that what they’re calling one’s mate NOW! I’m very much aware that I have no excuse for my behavior. Alessia may be my mate but I’ve never treated her as such. In my defense, I also haven’t rejected her. She doesn’t have the right to court someone else when I’m still her mate. Though, I don’t know if she fancies him or is simply a friend to him but why else would she be laughing so hard at his jokes that aren’t even all that funny? The most annoying part of it all is that I can’t do anything without raising a few brows. People are definitely going to wonder what our relationship is if I go across the dining table and drag her away from Jake. It doesn’t stopfrom considering the option though. And then the f u c k i n g chit dared to excuse herself and leave the dining hall with Jake following behind lik e a lost puppy. Didn’t he have anything to do other than stick himself to Alessia? Am I not giving the warriors enough tasks?

This is on you, Raphael mind links and my gaze goes away from Alessia’s empty seat to Raphael who’s sitting besideand eating away like he didn’t just instigate something that could blow into a fight. I hold myself back. What is on me?” I mind link back, taking the path of acting clueless. I want to believe that the stern warning I gave to him and Alex was enough to make him back down. ‘It’s your fault that Jake is all over her and it’s also your fault that you can’t do anything but watch them. He

gives up the pretense of eating and smirks my way, knowing that there’s nothing I can do to him in this crowded dining hall. I grit my teeth, my claws digging into my chair. I hate Raphael annoying a s s and I most especially hate the fact that he’s right. Abruptly standing up from my seat, the chair drags loudly on the ground, drawing everyone’s focus away from their meal to me. Giving one last glare to Raphael and ignoring the awkward stares directed my way, I start heading for the door where Alessia and Jake walked out. My footsteps stall until I cto a stop, staring at the image in front of me. My vision blur as a rage none like anything I’ve ever felt curls around my spine. Jake, the person who’s about to be a dead man very soon, has his hand on my mate’s shoulders as he 1/3 J JAMB B G B BBBBBB MPBΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΙ Chapter 27 94 11:26 whispers something to her. They talking in hushed voices and try as I may, I couldn’t pick up anything from the conversation, not unless 1 risked going closer to them. Alessia smiles at him and the rage burns like an inferno of hell. My wolf is growling and drawing his fangs out, wanting to show Jake what happened to people who lay hands on our mate. I force him to stay back, deciding on another route. If I can’t find a way to stop Jake from getting closer to Alessia without drawing eyebrows then I’ll just have to try out another option. Turning around on my heels, I go straight for Alessia’s room. Opening the door, I don’t bother with the light and go to an armchair in the corner, ready to wait for her appearance. It doesn’t take long for Alessia to walk back into her room. As soon as she walks in, she stiffens, clearly seeingin the shadows.

“What are you doing here?” Her footsteps sound on the hardboard as she walks over to me. The moonlight streaming in through the open window illuminates her as she advances to me. I stand up and meet her halfway. “I want you to stop seeing Jake,” I command, going straight to the point. Alessia’s mouth falls open. She gape atin an expression that I can only describe as incredulous. Then that expression turns to anger and her eyes flash black. “Who the f u c k do you think you are to dictate towho I can and can’t befriend?” She c o c k s her head to the side. “Your mate.” As soon as the words leave my mouth, I immediately know that I’ve f u c k e d up. Perhaps that’s why I did what I do next. Alessia’s mouth falls open and just as she’s about to produce what I know will be lashing words, I pull her. into my arms and silence her with a kiss. Her lips are stiff beneath mine as I press her tighter into my body, the kiss that had simply been to keep her quiet morphs into something more. My hand slides up her back to her neck, holding her still for my exploration. Just as I’m sure that she’s going to be standing still throughout the kiss, Alessia lets out a soft moan, and her lips part. I take advantage of the opportunity, sliding my tongue into her mouth for a taste. A groan forms at the back of my throat just as Alessia’s arms snake around my neck. My sweatpants press uncomfortably to my now hard c o c k and Alessia’s arousal fills the air. That’s when I realize that things had gotten out of hand and that I need to put a stop to it. Having one last taste of her lips, I pull away, breathing harshly through my mouth. It unnervesthat no amount of workout has leftthis breathless, yet just a few seconds of kissing Alessia has this effect on me. It also comfortsto find Alessia in the sstate as I am; lips red and bruised, eyes nearly black and glazed over with her hot breath fanning my face.

Alessia moans, still holding onto my aims. I pull away from her, leaving her in her dared state, and exit her room into the hallway where I take a moment to collect myself. SEND GIFT
