Xander looked at me like I was actually crazy.
“No way that’s happening. What makes you think that you, an eighteen-year-old she-wolf from an average family, can save me, the Alpha of the entire Constantine Pack?”
Go ds, he was so arrogant.
And right now, I had no time for that.
“And in case you forgot,” his voice dropped to a low warning growl, “You’re still our mate. We can’t just ‘let you go.”
That’s what they thought.
They’d change their minds soon enough.
I wouldn’t give them a choice.
“You don’t want to be with me, and I don’t want to be with you, I said plainly. “So let’s fulfill the High Elder’s decree and move
on with our lives.”
This wasn’t entirely true, and Lily knew it, too, I could feel her pawing at my insides.
You would climb right back into bed with them. You want to experience that pleasure again, she reminded me.
