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?"

Selene rolled her eyes, like my fury meant nothing. "I only said what everyone else is thinking but too afraid to admit. She’s jealous. Possessive. And dramatic..."

"Enough!" I thundered, my wolf snarling inside me. "You may be family, Selene," I continued coldly, "but Olivia is our mate. And if you ever speak to her like that again, you won’t just be leaving this house—you’ll be crawling away in pieces."

Her face drained of color.

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