Chapter 0077
My chest heaves as I see his eyes widen, and I feel my heart squeeze in my chest.
“I’m so sorry!” I whimper, cursing myself out because all I can do is think of Fynn.
And I can’t possibly kiss another man if my mind is consumed by the desire for him coming to claim me.
Straightening his spine slightly, he frees himself from my hold. “No, no! This was stupid of me. I’m the one who has to apologise. It was in the spur of the moment… Please forgive me.”
Sighing, I shake my head, my hand still holding him by his shirt. ” You are the usual gentleman.”
We chuckle awkwardly, before I squirm, realising that I’m still in his
arms.
He doesn’t seem to want to let me go, and I gulp as I meet his intense gaze again. We fall silent, and after what seems to be an eternity, I force a smile. “Maybe I should go…”
My whisper has barely left my lips as the door to the entertainment rooms opens with a bang.
Even before I can turn my head to see who it is, I feel a wave of immensely painful emotions, making me feel like I can’t breathe.
“Get your hands off my mate!” Fynn’s growl reaches my ear, mixing with his pain and disappointment.
“Finnegan, it’s not what-” Cayden starts, wanting to explain himself, but Fynn interrupts him.
“I do not fucking care. Get your filthy hands off her!” He shouts, making me stare at him wide–eyed,

How is he talking to his Alpha?!
I know that he has all the right to because I’m his mate, but still.
My heart skips a beat as I do the only right thing and move out of Cayden’s embrace, stepping aside.
Cayden inhales mortified as he seems to have come back to his right senses as well and he takes a step towards his brother. “I swear that it was not what you might think.”
Fynn scoffs as he lets his gaze roam on me and halts on my opened. button and zip that I’m closing hastily.
Well fuck!
“Of course,” he says mockingly, flashing his brother a grotesque grin. “You just wanted to help her to get rid of the thing.”
“Oh, Goddess,” I whisper as I blush.
He takes a step towards his brother, and adds with a snarl, “And weren’t trying to fuck my mate.”
“Fynn!” I gasp, standing in his way.
His eyes hold so much rage that I would swear that he is about to attack him. Laying my hand onto his cheeks, I get him to look back at me, and I can swear that his angry look softens.
“Come on let’s go,” I say, stepping around him and leaving the
room.
Fynn shoots a last glare at Cayden before following me silently up
the stairs.
I wait until we are in my quarters, as I lock the door behind us, pushing out a deep breath. “Goddess, this is a mess. And I’m so sorry. It really wasn’t what it looked like. I was about to leave that situation anyway,” I say apologetically, but he doesn’t seem to be
interested.
“I don’t care anyway. You don’t have to be sorry.” He answers nonchalantly, and I bite onto my tongue.
Squinting my eyes at him, I cross my arms over my chest. “And what was that ‘get your hands off my mate‘ then?”
“I was just annoyed about him doing as he pleases as the glorio Alpha in here. This has nothing to do with you,” he says with a chuckle, and I sigh.
“Okay. Fair enough. I forgot about the she–wolf you were wanting get off with.” Putting my hand on my head, he grins back at me stupidly.
“See, you are not that dense,” he jokes.
“Out!” I simply say, glaring at him, making him look at me questioningly.
“Did I stutter? I said out.” Taking a step forward, I start pushing him out through my rooms. “Get the fuck out, Fynn!”
He doesn’t fight the fact that I am simply pushing him out of the door, and as soon as he stands in the hallway, he looks like a puppy that has been left in the rain.
“Like I wouldn’t feel your fucking emotions, you moron.” I take a step back, before grinning at him. “And don’t you dare try sneaking into my bedroom again at night!”
His face as I slam my door close must be the best I have ever seen.
