Ezra, the Beta, growls. His eyes darkening over. The King himself doesn't look fazed, more so excited than anything else.
King Aiden steps towards Lila, who at this point realizes there's nowhere to go. I glance up at Matthew; his eyes are trained on the interaction. Bren, on the other hand, looks mortified.
King Aiden turns to Matthew. "Your mate, no?"
Matthew squeezes my hand, the notion not going unnoticed by the King. "Not anymore," Matthew replies coldly.
I was at the precipice of killing Lila. A part of me actually pities her in this moment. King Aiden stepping in front of her, a sadistic twinkle in his eye. He's much taller than all of us. Broader shoulders and large arms.
