Chapter 257 257: The truth about Corvus...

Neriah

"You're going to throw everything away for a stranger? After everything your family has done for you?"

I flinched as if he'd struck me.

"My family is the reason why I'm trapped. My father asked me to reject you and marry the Lycan Leader's son. I am trying to find a way out of this mess and you stand there blaming me for things I know nothing about? Do you want it, Thames? Do you like that I am to be given to someone else who isn't you?"

For a moment, he didn't speak. The air between us crackled with tension.

"I trusted you," Thames whispered when he broke the silence. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Why didn't you prepare me in advance? Then we would have looked for a solution. Perhaps, you wanted it. The idea of ending up with someone like me, especially as you love the big packs with all the things they have different from us. The thought of becoming the Luna of the entire world must have appealed to you, Neriah."

My heart clenched painfully at the hurt in his voice. I opened my mouth, desperate to explain – to make him understand – but the words were stuck in my throat.

Corvus shifted behind me.

"You should go," he said quietly. "Both of you."

Thames's eyes flashed with fury.

"I'm not leaving without her."

Coruvs's gaze darkened, his body coiling with restrained power.

"I'm not asking."

My breath caught, fear prickling down my spine. I could feel the heat building between them – two predators on the verge of crashing.

"Stop – please," my voice broke as I stepped between them, my hands raised. "No one needs to get hurt."

Neither of them moved.
