“That is twice you have failed to use my title and twice you have insulted Skylar in front of me. You have crossed the line…” He starts to say, but I put my hand on his arm and he lets me pull him back toward me.
“Hey.” I say not trying to whisper but not shouting either. We have enough attention from her outburst. I put my hands on each of his cheeks to make sure he focuses on me and only me, his breathing heavy trying to keep his wolf in check. “You know what she is trying to do, right?” He blinks and nods his head, but doesn’t pull away from my hold on his face. “Don’t let her control you.
I know I’m not wrecking a home, so do you. F*ck everyone else’s thoughts about the situation. As for her insults to my rank and status, I could give two sh*ts. She basically said she’s a good breeder, she works best lying on her back.
Everyone has their purpose, I guess.” That gets a small smile out of him. “I am a Beta’s daughter, a lead warrior and trainer in my pack, a branded Elite Warrior in the Alpha King’s ranks and you are one of my best friends. I appreciate you trying to defend my honor, but she has done nothing but show her desperation and lack of knowledge of how a true mate bond works.
Let her do her walk of shame out of the room with everyone present watching because she wanted an audience and it backfired.” I nodded and smiled at him until he returned it and then gave me a big hug.
“Man, you are special Midge. No one is going to be good enough for you.” He says into my hair. I just laugh.
“You need to stuff your caveman, I need an ally not an addition to the five cavemen I have back home.” He just laughs.
“I will do my best, no promises though.”
“That was amazing! I couldn’t shake her the last time I was here.” Mina walks up next to me and pulls me into a side hug. “I think her tears were real when she walked out though.”
“She needs to not be invited to the next function, that will hopefully improve her behavior a bit. No matter what her dad’s agenda is for her being here, this is all she knows and she’s afraid of losing the privilege of being here. That might deter her from attempting to come after me again.”
“Did you just defend the person who publicly insulted you?” Xander asked, his jaw basically on the floor. “Why would you do that? She would not hesitate to have you banned from everything and you want me to ‘not invite her’ to the next function.”
