Chapter 46. The Small Print

The lycan king grabbed the phone not even bothering to say thank you to his Beta. “Gideon,” just hearing the voice of his beloved calmed him down.

“Ria,” he breathed out her name, so happy to hear her that he probably sounded desperate at that moment. But he did not care. “Are you all right? Did he do anything to you? I am going to kill him! I swear, if one hair from your head…”

“I am fine,” she assured him, “Really. No one touched me, everything is going smoothly here. With the exception of Brayden stealing my phone.”

“Goddess Riannon,” he exhaled loudly rubbing his forehead, “For a second there I was afraid that he forced you…”

“No,” she stopped him, “Braden is a lot of things, but I don’t think that he is capable of that. I am fine. Trust me on this.”

“I still want to kill him,” he grunted, sitting back in his chair. Just the thought that a man

who called his mate his wife existed was unbearable for him.

SO

“You still can’t,” Ria smiled. It felt nice that he wanted to protect her so much. Or maybe he was just possessive of her? It felt nice either way. As long as it was him.

“I still might,” Gideon said.

“I need to tell you something.” Riannon was afraid that someone would interrupt them and she wanted to give him the important piece of information. Apart from Maya, he was the only one willing to help her.

“I am all ears,” the lycan king straightened his back, knowing that as long as she was ready to spare their precious minutes, it was important.

“Remember my husband’s omega mate?” Riannon played with the hem of her robe

nervously.

“How could I forget?”

“Well, the thing is, I don’t think she is an omega anymore,” the Luna was eager to discuss this with her partner in crime, “Gideon, I just talked to her and was able to get emotions out of her. Her true emotions! For the first time! And you know what happened? She let out her claws and her eyes shone red. Red, Gideon!”

“Did she attack you?” he growled menacingly.

“No, but she lost it. Just for a few seconds, but I know what I saw!” Ria grinned, “She is definitely not an omega! Besides that, it’s what got her to show her true colours that matters. So, there was this captive prisoner who tried to frame Maya right before Reid took her back. I

some kind of reaction. He escaped again, even though I made sure that the best guards were

guarding him. And then he came to see me…”

“What?” now Gideon snarled. The desire to shift and get to that damned pack to get his mate the old fashioned way was taking over him.

“Let me finish first,” she brushed him off, “So, he came to see me and was waiting on the balcony. We talked and he is also not so simple. And yes, his eyes also shine red. I didn’t learn much about him. He introduced himself as Everett in the past and as Axel tonight. Anyway, I simply mentioned him to Roxanne, and she snapped. Just a bit, but I never was able to do this before. She knows that man.”

“Goddess, Riannon,” Gideon frowned, “My list of men to kill is growing by the hour thanks to you.”

“Sorry,” she chuckled to that. “Don’t be,” the lycan , “You are worth every effort.”
