Chapter 80
“I think we should go inside now.”
I say, my cheeks staining a painful red as unwanted thoughts of the two being physical circulated through my mind. My eyes were still focused on Raizel who never wasted a second looking away.
“Alright. Everyone inside.”
Williams huffs out clapping his hands together and ushering the guards to leave. He turned
to look at me and smiled,
“Don’t think this conversation is over. You’ve got explaining to do.”
His gaze glides over to Raizel. The obvious cockiness in his expression.
“This goes for the both of you.”
If I wasn’t so distracted by the amusement underlying Williams‘ words, I would’ve sensed Raizel leaning forward, but I didn’t. It was only until I felt his head dip to the junction. connecting my shoulder and neck that I felt him. Silky, raven black hair tickled the side of my face. His nose nuzzling against my neck as he let out a silent sigh of content,
“My apologies.”
He murmurs against my skin. His breath fanning over the patch of flesh he laid on.
“I hadn’t realized it was you. My wolf was on high alert and immediately saw you as a
threat from your Alpha presence.”
I couldn’t do anything but nod. I understood the situation. I truly did, but I didn’t trust my voice not to break and squeak in front of him. I didn’t want further embarrassment from all
this. Having him pressed up on me stark naked wouldn’t help either.
Not that I was complaining.
My wolf.

After Breaking The Mark: His Desperate Chase
I meant my wolf.
“I suppose… you should get off now.”
I mumble, nearly cringing at the unintentional innuendo. I wasn’t too keen on the fact he was overtaking all my senses. Touch. Smell. Hearing.
Taste.
shap my eyes shut, mentally scolding myself at the unspeakable thoughts running through my mind. Raizel ceased his nuzzling on my shoulder and slowly looked up. Realization crossing his features as if he hadn’t noticed what he was doing. A faint pinkness in his cheeks confirmed my suspicions.
“Right.”
Pushing himself up, he stood. I tore my gaze away from him. I had no plans on ogling him
like a fool. I’m sure I’ve done enough of that in the past twenty–four hours. Williams, who
was still standing there, handed him a blanket that he brought with him. A thick, fur blanket that draped over the floor. Without so much as looking at it, Raizel took it, wrapping
it around his waist before looking down to me.
I was still sitting on the ground, not really knowing what to do when he walked over to me. Extending his hand, he patiently waited for me to grasp it. Against my better judgement, I accepted his kind gesture knowing full well what kind of emotions would rush through me when our hands touched. Raizel sucked in a sharp, barely audible breath when our hands clasped. Electricity shooting up from the small connection. His eyes flickered up to me for a second before letting them settle on our joined hands once again.
He pulled me up effortlessly.
I ignored the tingles to the best of my abilities and faced Williams who watched in silence. The quirk in his brow and questioning eyes told me he saw something in that little exchange. Something he was surely going to interrogate me about later.
Bad enough the position he caught us in was more than a little suggestive, the man was in
the nude.
I could almost hear the gossip between him and Meredith. Hell, they’d probably include Noah in it too. And somehow I know Isaac will find out and then I’ll have my own personal

paparazzi by then.
Elizabeth’s fingers were already itching to reach for the phone in her robe pocket to “spill the tea“. The headaches that’ll be sure to come along with it, is almost guaranteed.
I look to Elizabeth who had a familiar glint in her eyes similar to her mate’s.
Scratch that, the headaches are guaranteed.
Well…”
I drawl, wiping the dirt off my nightwear.
“Goodnight.”
I said, turning away from them to start my journey back into the mansion. My nerves were kicking in and the urge to scream as loud as humanly possible was mind blowing. The embarrassment, humiliation, adrenaline from that experience had my knees shaking.
“Selene.”
I shudder, peering over my shoulder to look at him.
“Goodnight.”
The word comes off quiet as soft. I licked my lips, wetting the dryness away and nodded.
“Goodnight,”
I breathlessly whisper.
“Raizel.”
The moment that name slipped from my lips, I turned away from him. I continue walking down, ignoring the piercing gazes of Williams and Elizabeth as I walked. The one and only thing I could focus on was the feel of his heat overtaking mine.
And my Goddess did it feel so good.

“I’m not sure if I should be disappointed or ecstatic you were trying to mate in my territory.
And in the woods.”
I freeze mid–way of directing the spoon into my mouth and blinked.
I stare at Williams who was sitting across from me with his elbows perched on the table
and has his hands joined together. Since arriving here at the table for breakfast, he hasn’t touched his food and only drilled holes into my head from his staring. I knew what happened yesterday bothered him, but not to this extent.
