Chapter 432
“Yes, Beta. Now we have to get her to trust us enough to get answers, while also making it very clear that we won’t trust her answers blindly.” Marietta sits next to me. “How will this affect your friend? I know a little of your mate bonds. Ours are not chosen by our Goddess, but once a bond is formed, it is very similar to what you experience p>
“I can’t tell you where his head is at right now, but I know this is going to f*ck him up, especially if we find out she isn’t being truthful.” I lean forward, pressing the heels of my hands into my eyes trying to stave off a headache. “It could harm him and or his wolf if we have to execute her. He can reject her before and the feelings will be less if she accepts, but the pain of the rejection will hurt him too.” I look up at Elara, “Kennedy had the same problem with her mate and the little that Rayna has told me about the situation, it got really bad before they figured it out.” She nods at me, as a general rule, neither of us bring Ken up, but the situation bears noting.

Elara moves to me, reaching out her hand. “We should all get some rest. The healers have Juliette’s bloodwork and they will work on it all night, checking for everything possible. If they find anything, they are instructed to let me know immediately, no matter what time it is.” She’s addressing the whole group, but maintains eye contact. I nod back and stand slowly, letting her pull me down the hallway to our bedroom. I’m worried about Jason, I can feel his torment, even though we are technically not a part of the same pack, running through me as if it were my own.

Out of nowhere my back is slammed against a wall and my mate is in my face. “What the hell?” She has my shirt balled up in her fists.
“I needed to break you out of that head of yours. She’s so close to my face I see the different shades of green flecked in her eyes. I can feel the weight of her whole body pressing mine into the wall. “Juliette will be fine. Jason will be fine. They will get through this, just like you and I did.” She quirks a half smile. “I just had to break you in a little p>
I flip our positions so fast she lets out a little squeak. I run my nose slowly up the side of her neck, my wolf growling at the pleasure of her scent. I press into her and she sighs at the connection, making me smile against the delicate skin behind her ear. “What else are you willing to do to get me out of my head, Alpha p>
“Why don’t we find out?” She shifts an inch and I hear a door disengage. I must have been in my head pretty deep if I didn’t notice we made it all the way here. Copyright 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions
“What! You’re leaving? Don’t leave us hanging after that display, it was just starting to get steamy.” I hear Jax and whip my head so fast, I hear it crack multiple times.
