Chapter 13: Confrontation and Revelation

(Elena’s POV)

A tall, well–built Alpha leaned against his black sedan, smoking a cigarette. The blue white smoke blurred his face, but his deep golden eyes swept over the men’s coat draped over my body, inscrutable.

Nathan instinctively glanced at me, then turned to Marcus. “Alpha Marcus, are you waiting for someone?”

The thought that Marcus might be waiting for me seemed absurd. Why would he care about my whereabouts after orchestrating tonight’s humiliation?

Marcus raised his head, exhaled smoke, and crushed the cigarette under his foot. His gaze turned cold as he looked at Nathan.

Marcus frowned, and just as Nathan was about to say more, I weakly pulled at his sleeve. “Big Brother Nathan, please take me home.”

I couldn’t bear to hear any more. The betrayal cut too deep.

Sensing my trembling, Nathan agreed without further argument with Marcus.

As we were about to leave, Marcus called out coldly. “Elena.”

I stiffened. He never called my name in public, always avoiding acknowledgment of our mate bond.
