Now that Josh was safe, my anger was in full flow, especially as I stared at Matt on the floor.
He was dead.
Dead. Because of him.
My gaze turned icier as I walked past him, heading for the door. But a strong hand grabbed my wrist, twirling me around to face him.
“Did you just threaten me?” His voice was as icy as the bite of a frigid breeze against exposed skin.
“I did! Because you were about to kill an innocent man!”
His hand around my wrist turned painful, maki mercy in his eyes. kled as I looked at him, but three was still no
“I do not take kindly to threats, Lyric Harper. Threats signifies danger, and I am known to always eliminate dangers.”
“Let me go, my eyes turned glassy from how hard he held me.
“For your sake, I’d advise you never interrupt me in this way, ever again.”
“Well, take a look at the floor!” I tipped my head toward Matt. “He didn’t deserve that. You don’t just kill people because you’ re upset!”
“Upset?” He looked at me like I was the unreasonable one. “First, you come to a club wearing a revealing dress, get drunk, sing and let some random guys grope you. You think I don’t have a right to be upset?”
“Excuse me?” I glanced down at my dress.
Okay, I was putting on some shorts which revealed my legs, but how was it his fucking business? I’ve been dressing like this for years now.
“We’re not mated yet!” I huffed. “I don’t understand how you can make judgements over my dress!”
He finally released my hurting wrist, but I didn’t try to walk away. We weren’t done here.
“Besides, this is a club! Am I expected to wear a dinner dress? There are people wearing worse things than me!”
“And the boys groping you? Or do you enjoy being touched inappropriately by them?”
My lips dropped open in shock. No, he didn’t just insinuate that.
“We were only dancing!” My voice was louder now, filled with hurt. “I don’t get what your problem is. You can’t control me this way!”
“Listen to me,” His voice dipped. “I honestly do not give a fuck about how loose and wayward you are. I know your kind is bound to be this way, but I’m a few days, you’ll be announced as mine. You’ll have to represent Darkspire, and I can’t have someone who doesn’t know how to be comported be my Luna. You need to know your place, lady, and not bring shame to my name. Do you understand?”
My eyes glistened with tears which finally dropped to my cheeks. I balled my hands into fists, so hard my nails bit into my palms.
Did he just call me loose? Wayward? Funny how he was the one who took my virginity. The only man I’d actually ever slept with.
He looked at my face as I cried, yet there was no reason in his. Just bleak monstrosity.
Where was the man that had bedded me five years ago? Told me I was beautiful and made me feel loved when I thought the world was against me? How did I ever fall for him?
He stormed out of the restroom, leaving me alone with my tears.
I ran after him, catching up with him when he was close to his car. His beta already had his door opened for him.
“I can’t do this!” I shouted, bringing him to a stop.
He looked at me, his eyes as intimidating as always. But I didn’t cower.
“I’m sorry, I thought I could pull through with this, but it’s become obvious we can’t work out. I’m terminating the contract.” epitet terh ofine de The mentored out a men’s tear wor xhume and read t. Weet grouts there pro back to me for the termination he

Like always, I reached for the scan, feeling a crushing relief as I stared at the image. A sad smile touched my lips as I ran my fingers along the edges and surface. I never got to touch them, but I missed them so much.
Satisfied, I hid the picture and left the room. But right at my doorstep was Nora, her hands crossed, her eyes glaring at me “What did you do to Roderick?” She asked.
Goodness.
“Why wouldn’t he break up with you? Why wouldn’t he see me anymore?”
I rolled my eyes. “Please, Nora. We’re running late.”
I tried to leave, but she stood in my way. “I’m talking to you!”
“Well, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I look really beautiful now.”
“Oh, please! Do you think you’re more beautiful than I am?”
“I don’t know. Why don’t you ask your supposed boyfriend or fiance why wouldn’t he leave me alone?” I forced my way aw from her. “And please, Nora, tell Roderick to end things with me. I’m begging now.”
Father was pleased to see me downstairs.
“You look lovely, my dear.”
I managed a smile. “Thanks, father.”
My stepmother was already prepared and gawked at us. Father led me outside to where our cars were waiting.
