Chapter 78: The Alpha’s Demand

(Elena’s POV)

“Elena, who is it?” Patricia called from the kitchen.

I froze at the sound of my mother’s voice. The last thing I needed was for her to see Marcus standing at our door. After Richard’s death, Patricia still harbored deep resentment toward the Blackwood family.

If she saw Marcus now, her emotions would definitely spiral out of control.

“It’s a delivery, Mom. Till go out for a bit,” I called back, making up an excuse as I grabbed Marcus’s arm and

pulled him away from the entrance.

Marcus allowed me to drag him along without resistance. His compliance surprised me, but I didn’t have time

I stared at him in bewilderment. “Marcus, is your brain damaged?”

A bitter laugh escaped my throat. “You seem like a different person. Not the Alpha I know.”

Marcus stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “We’re still mates, Elena.”

“I’m going to sever our mate bond,” I retorted, backing away from his advancing form.

Marcus seized my wrist, his grip firm but not painful. “I won’t sign the separation papers if you’re eager to be

with Nathan.”

My blood turned to ice. The threat in his voice was unmistakable.

Marcus caressed the tear mole at the corner of my eye with his free hand. His touch was gentle, but his

words were anything but.

“Are you happy about the flowers I sent you?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous.
