Initiated by my Alpha Stepbrother's Mark
"Please," he said, and his voice had gone rough, desperate. "Let me see you. Let me see your face."
My hand came up and covered his where it rested on my mask.
"Okay," I whispered.
He pulled the mask off slowly, carefully, and I blinked as my eyes adjusted to seeing without the green tint. His hand was still between my legs, fingers still moving in slow circles that made my breath come in short gasps, but he'd gone very still otherwise.
I looked up at him, at the green mask still covering his face. "I want to see you too."
He didn't move or speak anymore.
Something cold started to spread through my chest, cutting through the heat he'd built there.
"What?" I asked. "Am I too ugly to be your mate?"
His hand jerked away from me like I'd burned him. The loss of contact made me want to cry out, made my body ache with sudden emptiness. He took a step back, then another, and I could see his hands curling into fists at his sides. His whole body was shaking.
"What the fuck," he said, and his voice had gone flat and cold.

Chapter: 139. The woman he's going to Mark Kaireen's Pov Selene was standing in the doorway wearing that soft pink dress with the lace sleeves and the fitted waist that probably cost more than most people made in a month, her blonde hair falling in perfect curls around her shoulders, her blue eyes locked on where Ronan's hands were still gripping my waist like he owned me, and the expression on her face was somewhere between shock and rage. And Ronan still had the audacity to keep holding me, his fingers pressing into my hips through the thin fabric of my scrubs, his body so close to mine that I could feel the heat radiating off him, his wolf still pushing at the surface making his eyes flash gold. I glared at him and slapped his hands away hard enough that it made a sharp sound in the quiet room, stepping back and putting distance between us, and my wolf whined in protest but I ignored her because this was wrong, all of this was wrong, and we could not keep doing this. "Why the hell are you touching her like that?" Selen

Chapter: 139. Trying not to destroyKaireen's Pov"What kind of things?""He wants you to quit being a doctor," he said bluntly. "After you get married. He thinks you should give up your practice, stop treating patients, stop all your medical work so you can focus on being his Luna full-time."The words hit me like a slap and for a second I could not process them, could not make sense of what he was saying because it was so ridiculous, so outrageous, that my brain refused to accept it as real."He what?" I asked slowly."You heard me," Ronan said, and his voice had gone hard again, angry. "He walked in here and told me and Kade that once you're married you're going to stop all pack activities and medical activities because being a royal Luna is a full-time job. Like you're just going to throw away everything you've worked for, everything you've built, everything you are, just to play decorative wife for him."My wolf snarled in my chest, furious, and I felt my own hands clench into fists at my sides because how dare he,

Chapter: 137. Tension in the roomKaireen's PovThe tension hit me the second I stepped through the door of the sitting room on the second floor, thick and suffocating like walking into a wall of heat, and I could immediately tell that something bad had just happened between the men inside. The room itself was nice, decorated with dark leather couches and a fireplace that wasn't lit, tall windows showing the gardens outside where the sun was starting to set and paint everything gold and orange, but none of that mattered because the energy in here was wrong, dangerous, like a fight had just barely been avoided.Ronan was standing in the middle of the room wearing the same black fitted shirt and dark jeans he had thrown on earlier when he rushed to the clinic, his hair messy like he had been running his hands through it, his shoulders tense and his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle jumping there. "Kaireen," Evander said immediately, and he tried to take a step toward me but nearly lost his balance on the cr

Chapter: 136. Quitting her ProfessionRonan's Pov Evander leaned back in the chair and his pale blue eyes moved between me and Kade like he was assessing how much he could say, and when he spoke again his voice had that casual tone that people used when they thought they were about to say something reasonable."This is about Kaireen, actually," he said, and immediately both Kade and I went still, our attention zeroing in on him completely. "About our upcoming marriage and some concerns I have regarding her current responsibilities."My wolf stirred in my chest, uneasy, sensing something wrong before Evander even finished his sentence, and I could feel my muscles tensing, my hands gripping the armrest of the couch harder than necessary."What concerns?" I asked, keeping my voice level even though every instinct I had was screaming at me that I was not going to like whatever came out of his mouth next.Evander smiled that polite diplomatic smile that royals learned from birth, the one that was supposed to put people at eas

Chapter: 135. The wedding InvitationRonan's Pov We made it to one of the private sitting rooms on the second floor, a comfortable space with leather couches and a fireplace and tall windows that overlooked the gardens, and I gestured for Kade to sit while I went to the door and called for Rixon through the mindlink.Bring refreshments to the second floor sitting room. Water, coffee, food if we have anything ready. And make sure it's good, this is a guest.On it, Alpha, Rixon sent back immediately.Kade sank down onto one of the couches and put his head in his hands, his shoulders slumping forward, and I could see the exhaustion and fear radiating off him in waves. I sat down across from him and we did not say anything for a while, just sat there in silence while he tried to pull himself together.After a few minutes Rixon appeared with two omega females carrying trays of food and drinks, fresh coffee and sandwiches and fruit, and they set everything on the low table between us and left quietly without being asked."Eat

Chapter: 134. Political AlliancesRonan's Pov Kade looked like hell standing there in the hallway outside the trauma room with Rhia's blood still drying on his expensive black shirt, his face drawn and pale, his grey eyes haunted in a way that made him look weak and vulnerable and nothing like the arrogant billionaire I remembered from before everything went to shit between us. His hands were shaking slightly where they hung at his sides and he kept glancing back at the door to the room where Kaireen was working on his sister like he wanted to go back in there and make sure she was still breathing.I understood that feeling more than I wanted to admit."Just because we have issues doesn't mean I'm going to forget where my friend's pack is," he said, and his voice was rough and tired. "Especially when it involves wolves messing with my sister. I know this place like the back of my head, Ronan. And it's unfortunate that the first place I thought of coming was here, but your sister is the best doctor I know. She helpe
