“What the hell!?” Josh flinched, stepping away from me immediately.
I had nearly lost my balance again due to his arms suddenly leaving me.
My heart had sunk deep into the pit of my stomach as I prayed for the sight before me to be a dream. But it wasn’t. Josh’s friend was dead. Killed by Jaris.
His eyes like dark pools were on me. Then, slowly, they shifted to Josh, and he emitted a certain monstrous snarl. He tossed the heart to the floor and started approaching Josh and I.
No. Not me. Josh.
“1-1 haven’t done anything!” Josh cried.
Realizing what was happening. I ran to stand before Josh.
“What do you think you’re doing!? What do you have against him?” I snapped at the man who looked insane right now.
“Step out of the way, Lyric.” His eyes were still on Josh behind me.
“Why!? What did he do?”
Finally, he looked at me. And if I wasn’t so angry myself, I’d have crumpled to my knees in fear.
“Do I really have to spell it out? I need to explain why I want n to kill a man who had his hands over you?”
It dawned on me like a bell. My eyes widened like saucers at the realization.
No, wait. He just killed Matt because he thought they were harassing me!?
Please, don’t tell me.
He tried to walk past me, but I moved, getting in his way. “What is wrong with you? Alpha!?” I added the last name maliciously. “Did you just kill him because we were together!?”
To my dismay, he gripped my wrist with his bloodstained hand. The very one that had held Matt’s heart. I wanted to puke.
“I am trying so hard not to pour my frustration out on you. Now, get out of my way, Lyric Harper, before I don’t something I won’t regret.”
I glanced back at Josh, and he was scared to death. This only worked to infuriate me some more.
“We are leaving. Now.” I gritted.
“Like hell we are.” He tossed me aside.
But before he could get to Josh, I was in front of him again. “Please! He didn’t do anything! I promise, he was just about leaving.”
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me you were connected to Alpha Jaris!?” Josh yelled behind me.
Because I’m not–I wanted to tell him, but Jaris was already blind–furious, and the last thing I wanted to do was grate on his nerves some more.
“You’re not touching him. Otherwise, you can kiss goodbye to your son’s treatment.” My eyes were dead serious as I looked into his. And right there, I saw his rage grow.
Josh took his chances. Carefully, and I mean, very carefully, he scurried out the door. To my greatest relief, Jaris let him. But his eyes didn’t get any softer.
Now that Josh was safe, my anger was in full flow, especially as I stared at Matt on the floor.
He was dead.
Dead. Because of him.
My gaze turned icier as I walked past him, heading for the door. But a strong hand grabbed my wrist, twirling me around to face him.
“Did you just threaten me?” His voice was as icy as the bite of a frigid breeze against exposed skin.
“I did! Because you were about to kill an innocent man!”
His hand around my wrist turned painful, maki mercy in his eyes.

“I do not take kindly to threats, Lyric Harper. Threats signifies danger, and I am known to always eliminate dangers.”
“Let me go, my eyes turned glassy from how hard he held me.
“For your sake, I’d advise you never interrupt me in this way, ever again.”

“Well, take a look at the floor!” I tipped my head toward Matt. “He didn’t deserve that. You don’t just kill people because you‘ re upset!”
“Upset?” He looked at me like I was the unreasonable one. “First, you come to a club wearing a revealing dress, get drunk, sing and let some random guys grope you. You think I don’t have a right to be upset?”
“Excuse me?” I glanced down at my dress.
Okay, I was putting on some shorts which revealed my legs, but how was it his fucking business? I’ve been dressing like this for years now.
“We’re not mated yet!” I huffed. “I don’t understand how you can make judgements over my dress!”
He finally released my hurting wrist, but I didn’t try to walk away. We weren’t done here.
“Besides, this is a club! Am I expected to wear a dinner dress? There are people wearing worse things than me!”
“And the boys groping you? Or do you enjoy being touched inappropriately by them?”
My lips dropped open in shock. No, he didn’t just insinuate that.
“We were only dancing!” My voice was louder now, filled with hurt. “I don’t get what your problem is. You can’t control me this way!”
“Listen to me,” His voice dipped. “I honestly do not give a fuck about how loose and wayward you are. I know your kind is bound to be this way, but I’m a few days, you’ll be announced as mine. You’ll have to represent Darkspire, and I can’t have someone who doesn’t know how to be comported be my Luna. You need to know your place, lady, and not bring shame to my name. Do you understand?”
My eyes glistened with tears which finally dropped to my cheeks. I balled my hands into fists, so hard my nails bit into my palms.
Did he just call me loose? Wayward? Funny how he was the one who took my virginity. The only man I’d actually ever slept
with.
He looked at my face as I cried, yet there was no reason in his. Just bleak monstrosity.
Where was the man that had bedded me five years ago? Told me I was beautiful and made me feel loved when I thought the world was against me? How did I ever fall for him?
He stormed out of the restroom, leaving me alone with my tears.
I ran after him, catching up with him when he was close to his car. His beta already had his door opened for him.
“I can’t do this!” I shouted, bringing him to a stop.
He looked at me, his eyes as intimidating as always. But I didn’t cower.
“I’m sorry, I thought I could pull through with this, but it’s become obvious we can’t work out. I’m terminating the contract.”
