Chapter 141

Fiona POV

As we made our way back to the grounds, I knew that I looked a sight, my dress torn and ripped, wearing my mate’s so- called shirt. As he called me his mate, I looked at him sharply, his arm around my waist. I felt tingles run down my spine. I wanted to deny that it was true, but part of me longed for him to be speaking the truth. He was the most handsome man I had ever met and even touching him brought forth a reaction inside of me that I couldn’t explain. But even if it was the truth, how could he want a mate like me who was wolfless and helpless?

“Nothing?” he peered at me.

A shout had me turning my head to look at my father as he ran towards me, his eyes filled with concern. Regan and Xavier were right behind him. I saw them look at my disheveled hair, the bruises on my body, and the paleness of my pallor.

“What happened?” Father spoke quickly, sounding worried.

He glared at Alpha Liam as though it was his fault, his hands clenching into fists. I stared at him, taken aback by the concern he was exhibiting. I shook my head at him, my mate refusing to let go of me.

“It wasn’t Alpha Liam, he saved me” I blurted out before they got the wrong idea.

“You’re covered in bruises and your dress is torn” Regan spoke, narrowing her eyes. “If it wasn’t Alpha Liam” she nodded respectfully at my mate who merely shrugged. “Then who was it? Tell us so that we can appropriately punish them for laying hands on you.”

I laughed. I couldn’t‘ help it. It was so hypocritical of them to pretend to care. None of them had come out to see me or speak to me at the bonfire but now that I had been injured suddenly they were all worried about me. My tone is bitter as I

“Graham.”

“Graham?” my father frowned, ignoring the way I had laughed at them. “He’s normally such a good guy” he added and once again, I felt disappointment flood through me.

Was he taking Graham’s side without knowing the truth? I wanted to lash out, but my mate took hold of my hand, lifting it to his lips and softly kissing it. He looked at me sympathetically and then drew his shoulders back to address them all.
