Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 385: Can’t Send Her Away

Louis’s POV

"What the hell was that?" I snapped the moment we stepped into the living area. My voice thundered through the room, sharp enough to make Selene flinch before she masked it with a smirk. She folded her arms, her chin high. "I said what needed to be said."

My wolf bristled, pushing hard against my control. "No, you insulted my mate. In our house. Do you realize how close I was to breaking you right there in front of everyone?"

Her eyes narrowed, and she scoffed. "Mate or not, someone has to remind her of the truth. She acts like she’s untouchable, but she’s not. She’s selfish. She’s weak. And one day, she’ll bring you all down with her." My hands clenched into fists, nails biting into my palms.

Selene didn’t answer, but I knew she wouldn’t dare defy me.
