Riannon didn’t even gasp when Gideon lifted Brayden up in the air, growling fiercely. She expected for it to go this way between the two of them at some point.

“If you think that I am leaving my mate with a piece of garbage like you, you must be crazy!” he snarled. The werewolf tried desperately to fight the clutch of death but was

unsuccessful.

“Gideon,” Ria placed her hand on his chest, calming him down instantly. “Please… Just let him go. Not now, okay?”

The lycan unclenched his fingers and the other man fell all the way down to the ground.

However, he got up quickly, baring his teeth at the opponent.

“Bray!” his ex-wife warned him, “You asked for our help, remember? Not the other way around! Be grateful we do this for you in the first place and behave. Remember our deal.”

He took a step back, still panting and looked at her. “I asked for your help. Not his!” “Well, too bad,” she folded her hands on her chest, “We come as a pack now.”

was typical of her.

There was no sign of Roxie, though.

“You!” Bray recognised the man and his lips parted as he was stunned. But the next second he furrowed his brows as he realized that he was tricked.

“Me,” Castiel grinned wickedly, “Long time no see, Alpha. And such different circumstances. Don’t worry, I treated your little sister and the mother of your future child better than you did me. One might say they enjoyed staying with me.”

The fox chuckled and the wolf snarled at him.

“It’s indeed not what we agreed on,” the fox king confirmed with ease as a sneer formed

on his handsome face. “You brought one more person and I brought one less. It’s only fair.”

Brayden turned to glare at Gideon as if blaming him for what was happening, but the latter didn’t give a care in the world.

“No,” Ria smirked, “You were supposed to bring three. We counted the baby too. So…. “Riannon,” Castiel smirked, “ always a pleasure.” “Can’t say the same,” she retorted, and his lazy grin only grew wider. He enjoyed this
