Chapter Eighteen

DAMIEN

Owen stares angrily as I approach, his fingers tapping impatiently against the table.

“You lied to me,” he snaps.

I raise an eyebrow, surprised by his lousy attitude. He seemed pretty happy last night when he invited Freya to stay in his room. I sigh as I sit, glancing around the small restaurant. It smells good. I’ll bring Aine here for food before going to the park.

“What’d she do?” I ask.

When we set this meeting up last night, I assumed the topic of conversation would be much cheerier. I should’ve figured Freya’s self-sabotage would ruin this, but I wanted to remain optimistic.

Owen snorts. “What didn’t she do? You promised me a respectable young woman with good virtues. This one dropped to her knees before I’d even closed the door to my room.”

I can tell he feels passionate about Freya’s promiscuity, but I’m unable to hold back the laugh that erupts from me. Is he seriously upset she gave him a blowjob? If I were in his position, I would’ve brought her home with me that night.

My beast expresses his distaste at my thoughts and only settles when I assure him Aine’s the only woman whose mouth I want. I’m aware he already knows and can sense I only want my short, angry human, but he’s gotten into the habit of forcing me to actively think it.

“And you stopped her?” I tease Owen, knowing damn well he allowed Freya to please him before expressing dislike toward her actions.

Owen’s pupils dilate at my laughter, his beast emerging in response to my disrespect. I pay it no mind. He may also be an Alpha, but he’s no match against me.

We both know this, and I find satisfaction in watching his beast submit.

“You’ll take her, and you won’t complain about it,” I order.

I was hoping to keep this friendly, but I can already tell he’s not going to willingly change his mind and I promised Aine I wouldn’t be long.

I smile at the memory of her relaxing beneath me last night while I massaged her back. She fell asleep so quickly, and as I ran my hands over her warm skin I decided this situation with Freya ends here. She will not be returning to the village with us tomorrow, and that means either Owen takes her or I leave her in a ditch.

Aine’s finally starting to open up and trust me, and I’ll be damned if I let my brother’s shitty mate ruin that.

Owen stands, his chair flying behind him and clattering against the far wall. His reaction’s a bit dramatic for me, but I ignore it and turn to look at the food the humans are making. Fuck. That smells so damn good.

“You act as if you’re so strong,” he spits. “It’s ballsy, considering you have a vulnerable human as a mate.”

My hands are around his neck before the words are entirely out of his mouth. Owen laughs and tries to pull away, his motions halting as he realizes my claws are fully extended.
