Marcus’s expression dimmed as he stretched out his arm, trapping me between himself and the front of the car. “Do you really want to sever our mate bond so much?”

His voice carried that familiar dangerous edge that always made my spine straighten. The moonlight cast harsh shadows across his angular features, making him look more predator than mate.

I looked up at Marcus, meeting his golden eyes directly. “Yes.”

The word escaped my lips with definitive finality. His golden eyes intensified, as if trying to penetrate my very being through our mate bond. The connection between us crackled with tension, his Alpha authority pressing against my resolve.

I tried to step around him, but his presence loomed over me like a storm cloud. Every instinct told me to flee from this confrontation.

As I attempted to leave, Marcus’s deep voice stopped me cold. “Do you want to sever our bond for Nathan Sterling?”

My steps faltered. My expression momentarily darkened before I forced it back to neutral. The accusation hit closer to home than I wanted to admit.

“Nathan isn’t truly trying to help,” Marcus warned, his tone almost pleading. “Think carefully before severing our mate bond for such a man.”

I turned to face Marcus, my anger finally breaking through my composure. “Do you truly believe I seek to sever our bond for Nathan Sterling?”

My voice rose with each word, “Besides, even if he is using me, he’s still better than you.”

Marcus’s eyes hardened with Alpha/authority. He grabbed my arm, his grip firm but not painful. “How long will you continue this charade?”

I forcefully broke free from his grasp, my skin burning where he’d touched me. “Stop pestering me, Marcus.

I strode into the courtyard without looking back, my heart hammering against my ribs. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing how his words affected me.
