Chapter three

"I am your what?" She asked shocked beyond reasonable doubt. He stared at her in surprise, his face twisted at the fact that she acted shocked. Was she an actress too?? Because clearly she was acting really weird. She made a fool out of him and everyone else and he was going to find out why.

He was certain she didn't act alone in this deceit, she definitely was hiding something or someone. Maybe a lover! The thought that she had a lover pierce him painfully.

She was a cold, cruel woman abandoning her daughter leaving him to grow up without a mother. She care more for her self than she cared for Soliel.

Neil hated her for it.

And he hated this stirring in his blood as he looked at her. It was anger, yes, but it was something more. She was wearing a rhinestone shimmer short dress with a slit up to her hip. The v-cut at the neck of the dress showed a lot of skin and her nipples jutted through the meager fabric of her top, drawing shamelessly for his attention. He remembered though he did not wish to, the smoothness and suppleness of her breast, the tightly budded nipples in the center of her big perfect breast. He remembered their first mating when he marked her, she had been so shy but had quickly adapted to him, it had been too much pleasure the way she welcomed him in to her bed for an entire month of passionate nights.

"Your wife?" She shook her head adamantly. "That is not possible. You must be mistaken."

Behind him, he heard heavy stomp of footsteps. He knew it was the man from before without even turning around and this time he came with others. The man who had looked at her with such love in his eyes, that his wolf was restraining the urge to burst out and tear him to pieces.

"I will ask you one more time to leave," Thiago said. "Our bouncers will escort you out."

Neil grunted in amusement. His beta and two other members of his pack were outside. Then his boy guards, strong breed of were wolves trained to protect at all cost were stationed around the club perimeter. They were six in number. Not that he expected an attack or any kind of trouble but mostly because he was the Alpha of the biggest and strongest pack the whole of Berlin. Though he wouldn't be needing them to handle a few humans who didn't know what or who he was.

It wasn't something he wanted to do, and yet he knew he was not leaving without Avira. Without his wife and Luna. Never.

"Don't worry about him, Thiago," she said her eyes fixed on him. "We have something to talk about for a few more minutes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Thiago looked confused for a while and then looked walked off away with the bouncer, and Neil was alone with Avira once more.

"I guess you know what I am," he said implying the fact that she knew he was a werewolf. "Wise decision you made there to save your lover."

She ignored what he said and sank in to seat nearby, her fingers trembling as they ran through her beautiful lush olive hair. Her heavily made up big eyes stared at him in pure confusion.

"Why would you think I am your wife? I have never been married or mated to anyone before."

Anger clawed at his insides. "Deny it all you like, but it won't make it less true, so just stop with the pretense."

Her brows drew down as she stared at him. "I don't know you and I don't know why you are here right now telling me this, or why you think that I am your wife or mate. I have never met you and I don't even know your name."

He didn't believe her for a moment. "You don't know my name?"

"Yes! I don't!"

"Neil Callister."

"Neil,"?she repeated. "I haven't heard of any one with that name. Are you a friend of my father Harold Diago?"

Ohh

She knew about her father but was pretending not to know him or remembered being married to him or even having his child.

"I won't play this silly game with you, Avira," he growled. "Do you really expect me to believe that you have no memory of being married to me? You must think I am stupid."

She frowned deeply. "The only thing I know about you, it's that you are one of my kind and your name. You might be confusing me with someone else. It's not insulated for men to try anything at all just to get close to me because I am as stripper and might be available for prostitution. But I am not, okay? So don't waste your time."

Neil resisted the urge to shake her. "You are Avira Diago, daughter of Harold Daigo and late Selena Diago. It's been four years ago, you and I got married and two years ago since you were kidnapped by the rebel alpha pack, and week later while searching profoundly for you I lost our mating bond and thought you had died."

He couldn't bring himself to mention Soliel to her, not when she was trying to act clueless about the whole thing. Playing him for a fool.

She blinked, her expression going carefully blank as she shook her head. "No, I have been told that my wolf was too weak to get a mate and they when they tried to help me get stronger it went awry and things a little fuzzy. Why would anyone not tell me about being married if what you are saying is true?"

Everything inside him went still. "Who told you that you are too weak to get a mate? Who knows you are here?"

She met his gaze again. "My Aunt,of course and my foster parents who I have been staying with after my dad disappeared for years now."

"Your Dad knew you were alive?

"Yes."

Fury whipped through him. And disbelief. Her family knew that she was alive? Impossible.
