Chapter 31

Shadowland

Garren

I arrived at Thale half a day early, deep in the night. I should have gone straight to Tanis, but after weeks of trailing all over Shadowland and achieving fuck all, there was only one thing on my mind.

Dismissing my men to get some rest and food, I took the stairs two at a time to the highest section of the fortress where the Rymorians were quartered.

It was late, and I should have waited until morning like a reasonable male might do, go to my room where I could clean up, eat, and rest. Yet none of that mattered when a willing omega was waiting for me.

There were guards at the end of the corridor, which pleased me.

She was safe.

She also wasn’t with Tanis.

“You don’t want to go in there,” the guard said, moving to block my path.

Leveling a scowl at the ballsy fucker, I slammed him against the wall. “Interfere and I’ll end you.”

His companion shuffled about, getting twitchy. The one I had by the throat lifted both hands. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Warn me about what? I released him, my frown deepening and a sick feeling blooming in my gut. Was she in her room? Was she with Tanis, after all?

“Where is she?”

He nodded toward the far end of the corridor. “Last door on the right.”

I stalked over and threw open the door.

It was a tiny space with a small barred window casting moonlight over the startled occupants of the bed. My entire body coiled into a tight ball of rage so potent I could barely see. The position of her sprawled naked over him, the rich smell of slick and his cum, along with pheromones, hers and his, weak because he was a beta, yet his sweat was still all over what was mine.

I roared and charged, tearing her from him, slapping him aside when he dared to try and ward me off. He crumpled back into the bed as I snatched her up and, stalking for the corner of her tiny room, put my back to him with my body between them.

“Garren, Garren, Garren,” she whispered, her tiny hands skittering all over my shoulders, throat, and face, urgent kisses and nips that didn’t have a hope of soothing my feral beast. “I need you, Garren, please.”

I understood she was only seeking to calm me to save her other fucking mate.

Mate.

Everything inside me roared. Worried about what had happened, I’d ridden like the devil was on my tail after receiving the order to return. I was expecting to find my half-brother balls deep in the omega, and my claim shut off. Only it wasn’t Tanis, but Red I found in her fucking bed.

“Garren, please.”

Betrayal burned like acid in my stomach, ignoring the instincts that said she needed me, her alpha, after all.

“How long?” I demanded, grasping her chin to hold still when she kept nipping and kissing the column of my throat.

“Since you left.” Her pretty gray eyes searched mine in the moonlit room. “I needed—”

“Shut the fuck up,” I growled.
