Jealousy. There’s no other word for it. I’m jealous. I mean, I’m happy for Lila. I really am. She’s great and what she did for Cyra was incredibly difficult. It says a lot about her integrity and honor.

But when she and Landon walked up and her scent was smothered with his, I felt the spike of jealousy. I’m not proud of it, but there it is.

‘We’ll find our mate one day, Piper. And when we do, he’ll want the world to know we’re his just as much as Landon wants everyone to know that Lila is his, my wolf, Fallon, says.

‘I shouldn’t be jealous, Fallon. It’s beneath us,‘ I say.

“Wanting our mate is an acceptable reason to be jealous. My wolf, always the voice of reason.

I watch as Stellan loses his shit while Landon practically devours Lila beside me. By the time Landon releases her, the Alpha Squad has forced Stellan to his knees. I don’t feel bad for him. He did this to himself and from everything that I know about Lila, she deserved a much better mate than Stellan.

When he’s done, Landon wraps his arm around Lila and smiles smugly at a panting Stellan. Seriously, what did he think was going to happen? That Lila would just wait for him after everything he did to her? He gives Alphas a bad name.

When the council files in, they try to get Stellan’s attention. When he doesn’t respond, Raptor puts his hand on Stellan’s head and forces him to turn to face the council.

“Alpha Stellan, I see we’re still having problems today. We’ll make this quick. After hearing the testimony of Lila McIntosh, now Lila Reed,” he begins and Osman, Landon’s wolf immediately begins purring loudly just as Stellan’s wolf begins snarling. Landon shuts Osman up, but not before Councilman Edward gives him a brief look.

Then he turns to Stellan.

“She is mine!” Stellan snarls.

“Geez, dude. Get a grip. You lost,” Zach murmurs beside me.

“Idiot,” I say.

“Alpha Stellan, keep talking out of turn and I will have Raptor muzzle you. It wouldn’t be the first time today we’ve had to muzzle someone who couldn’t

control themselves,” Councilman Edward says.

“Osman, stay quiet. I don’t want them muzzling you,” Lila says quietly, putting a hand on Landon’s chest. Osman very, very quietly purrs his appreciation at his mate before she shushes him.

Councilman Edward continues. “As I was saying, we heard the testimony of Lila Reed earlier this week. The Council was also notified by Alpha Nevaeh about Mrs. Reed’s notification and the concern that you were going to try to force your mark on Alpha Cyra. You were remanded into custody later that night, by the leader of the council’s Alpha squad, Raptor, and the previous leader of Alpha squad, Steel. The Council finds you guilty of your second charge, knowingly and intentionally attempting to force Alpha Cyra into a mate bond to gain access to her inheritance.”
