Chapter 70: The Mate Bond Refused
(Elena’s POV)
After watching the excitement, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and the courtyard returned to its former desolation. The neighbors‘ curious voices faded into the distance, leaving only the three of us standing in the
uncomfortable silence.
I freed myself from Marcus’s grasp with a sharp jerk, my skin still burning where his fingers had touched me. I walked quickly to Patricia’s side, my voice cold and unwavering.
“You’re not welcome here, Marcus.
Marcus stared at the warmth remaining on his fingertips, his golden eyes following my movement. His jaw
tightened as he processed my rejection.
“I can leave,” he said slowly, his voice carrying that familiar dangerous edge. “But Nathan has to leave too.”
I whirled around to face him, my anger flaring like wildfire. “Nathan is a guest of the Blackthorne Pack. You have no right to interfere with his stay”
Marcus’s gaze intensified, boring into me with uncomfortable intensity. The air between us crackled with
tension.
Patricia stepped forward, shielding me with her body. Her voice trembled slightly, but her resolve was clear.
“Nathan helped with Richard’s funeral arrangements. I invited him to dinner to repay his kindness.” She lifted her chin, meeting Marcus’s stare. “Please don’t make things difficult for the Blackthorne Pack.”
Something shifted in Marcus’s expression. The harsh lines around his eyes softened marginally, and for a
moment, he looked almost human.
Tm sorry about Richard’s death,” he said quietly/his voice losing its commanding tone. “I promise to
investigate what happened.”
Patricia’s response was swift and cutting. Your promises mean nothing to us now.”
She turned her back on him, taking my arm. “Come, Elena. Let’s go inside.”
I followed Patricia toward the house, deliberately avoiding Marcus’s gaze. My heart hammered against my
ribs, but I refused to look back.
