Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 19

"Merikh POV

I pace my office, back and forth, waiting for Percy to update me on what the hell is happening.

"You could just go watch for yourself." Hayes says, unamused. He is angry with me. It's not like he has a reason to be. It's not his mate about to have a meetup with her ex and probably try to run off. "Why the hell would I want to watch her betray me?"

"You are making assumptions." He shoots back, wandering to the massive bay window overlooking the lake and the cliff that is above it. I roll my eyes, looking at him.

"The last time I didn't make assumptions, I was blindsided and our father ended up murdered."

"She isn't the bitch that set you up. Colette doesn't have a calculating bone in her b*dy and you know that," Hayes groans, throwing his head back before he glares over at me.

"How would I know that?" I grit out to him. "How do I know she didn't lure him here?"

"Wow." he scoffs with the shake of his head before turning to face me fully. "Is that what it's come to? You are so

"f**k off," I grumble. He is wrong, trust is earned. When it's given freely, that's when people screw you over, or worse, when it gets people killed.

-Grady found her-

Percy says in the back of my mind and I glare at my younger brother, who still shakes his head. He finally lifts his hands like he gives up and he retreats to the couch where he plops down with a heavy sigh. "If Colette finds out, she may never forgive you," He grumbles.

"You and I both know there is a lot she won't forgive me for, won't change her fate or mine." I move

toward the window, my heart pumping as I wait for more information from Percy. "She is mine whether she hates me or

not."

-She hit him in the face- Percy says and I can hear his amusement, like he is proud of our little Luna, and I smirk to myself.

-That is your Luna, Percy. Your job is to make sure she is safe. If she tries to leave with him, you will stop her. Do you understand?—

-Yes, Alpha-he shoots back.

I see Hayes' pointed scowl, but I ignore it. He's never found his mate, so he doesn't get to dictate how I treat mine or determine if I can trust her.
