“He really said that about me? ‘A devil you don’t‘?”

Noah nodded solemnly as he stepped out of the shower and wrapped his towel around his waist. Dark hair fell into his eyes, dripping water onto his cheekbones before he swept it backwards with one hand.

“He seems to be under the impression that you intend to destroy Nightcrest–or what used to be Nightcrest,” he said with a derisive short.

I couldn’t help but shudder at the thought, although more from anger than fear. I knew that Noah’s father had always thought relatively little of me, and he thought even less of me after our mess of a first marriage, but this was just bizarre.

“I wish I was there to slap him,” I mused, turning to the mirror and rubbing my face cream into my skin.” First he tries to insinuate that Melody isn’t our daughter, and now this…”

“He’s just trying to get a rise out of both of us,” Noah said gently. “We don’t have to give it to him.”

I sighed and met his gaze in the mirror. “No. We don’t.” I paused, thinking for a moment, then added, “But maybe it wouldn’t hurt to do a paternity test. Just to shove it in his face.”

Noah’s dark eyebrows shot upwards at that. “Seriously?”

“You don’t think it would be satisfying to show him results that clearly prove that Melody is your daughter?”

My mate was silent for a few moments as he considered this. It was petty, I knew, but it would be satisfying. And it would shut Marcus up once and for all.

Or at least until he came up with something else to complain about.
