Someone kicked the heavy bar door open violently.
Marrok stood outside, an army behind him.
My heart leapt. Even though he looked exhausted and bloody from hunting, he was still a heartthrob.
The wolf king stormed in, holding Laurent’s head in his hand.
Everyone froze, except me.
Daciana had ceased her attack on me and glanced at Marrok with a sultry, pouted look, as if she wanted him to reward her with a kiss for chasing me to the corner. The decision was his, but I wanted to damage her first.
From his vantage point, I could see the scene didn’t look too good: shattered tables, broken glasses and plates all over the floor, noodles sticking on the walls and dangling from Daciana’s hair.
Antonio’s face paled at the appearance of his king. He hadn’t expected Marrok to return so soon.
Marrok tossed the head at his beta’s feet and snarled, “What the fuck is going on?”
“My king,” Daciana said in her sexy, husky voice, “this nasty woman stomped into our home. I’m here to stop her. As you said, no outsider would get out of the Keep alive. I was following your orders and executing your law.”
Marrok sent Daciana a passing glance, his eyes gluing on me perched on the last standing table.
I smirked at him, and he grinned back, but only for a second.
Fury darkened his face.
But that smile had caught my heart. All his sins were forgiven. It wasn’t his fault his former girlfriend had gotten me into a death duel.
In fair retaliation, I’d trashed his bar.
“That ‘nasty woman’ happens to be my mate,” Marrok said. “This is her home. She can come and go as she wishes any time of the day.”
“You’ve gotta to be kidding me, Marrok,” Daciana shrieked in outrage. “She isn’t even a shifter. If you take her in as a mate, she’ll foul your bloodline!”
Marrok’s sapphire eyes turned gunmetal grey. “You think it’s wise to counsel me and try to eliminate my mate?”
“She doesn’t bear your mark,” Daciana insisted. “I can bear yours and give you a pure-blooded heir.”
My gaze darted between them, rage rising in me, hotter than a flaming comet crashing on the planet.
