Chapter 15

Liam wanted to plant his fist in Jules’s face when Jules suggested his brilliant plan to find Anthony a mate.

He didn’t, of course. He knew Jules had his best interests at heart. He knew Jules was just trying to find a solution.

So Liam forced himself to cooperate. It was bad enough that Jules was already watching like a hawk for any signs of jealousy. Liam was determined to look like a better—saner—person. Like a normal omega going through a list of prospective mates for his eldest brother. Like he didn’t want to take that stupid list off Jules’s hands and throw it into the fireplace.

Brother, his rational side said.

Mine, his instincts screamed viciously. Mine, mine, mine.

“How about Payton Denvers?” Jules said. “He’s beautiful. He’s the only son of that tycoon, so he’ll be inheriting a fortune, since his family’s wealth isn’t entailed and can be inherited by an omega—”

“Our family hardly needs money,” Liam said in a perfectly even voice. “And no Viscount Blake has ever married someone without a drop of noble blood in them.”

Jules raised his brows. “I don’t think Anthony cares about such things,” he said, his voice full of skepticism.

“He should,” Liam said. “The title of Viscount Blake may not be the most high-ranking, but our family is very old—we’re descendants of the former royal family.”

Jules rolled his eyes. “Oh come on! Not you too. Mother never let us forget that. It happened almost two thousand years ago, Li.”

“Precisely.”

“Fine,” Jules said with a sigh, looking down at his list. “What about Patrick Coldahen? A son of a duke—you’d struggle to find bluer blood.”

“He’s not good-looking enough. He’d be miserable, because he’d disappear into the background next to Anthony.”

Jules gave him a pinched look. “I’m hardly miserable with Devlin, even though he’s the most handsome alpha on the planet and I’m… me.”

Liam suppressed an exasperated sigh. “You’re very lovely,” he said, for what felt like the hundredth time, but he knew it was useless. Jules never seemed to believe him when he told him how lovely he was. Jules had the sort of looks that grew on you: the better you knew him, the lovelier he appeared. “More importantly, your fiancé thinks you’re very lovely. Have you seen how he looks at you?”

Jules smiled dreamily.

It was nauseatingly adorable, really.

“I know Devlin loves me, but you’re just proving my point: Anthony doesn’t need his mate to possess flawless beauty in order to fall in love with them.”

“I never said that he needed it,” Liam said. “All I’m saying is that alphas are very visual creatures and the first thing they notice is looks.You can’t fall in love with someone’s soul if you haven’t spoken to that person first.” Liam smiled crookedly. “I’m perfectly aware that physical appearance isn’t enough to make an alpha fall in love. He must actually like you as a person.”

Jules shifted uncomfortably. “Sorry.”

“Don’t be silly,” Liam said with a faint smile. “It’s not your fault Westcliff didn’t fall in love with me.”
