Jude’s POV“You disrespected my beta at the hospital or did you forget? Because I certainly didn’t” I said strictly.She gulped visibly and said in a slightly shaky voice, probably intimidated a little by my hardness towards her “I was just asking him to back off and stop trying to win me over, he brought up my mom like he had any rig…”I cut her off adamantly “I don’t care what he was saying to you, I’m not punishing you because you blew up any chances of reconciliation with him, that’s something I promised never to push you into or force you, but what I forced you to do was to be respectful towards my betas and never mouth off or lash out at them disrespectfully. You did just that, and to both of them I might add. You threatened Ian in my presence disregarding any and all respect for me”She opened her mouth; to defend herself no doubt, but I growled at her in warning and continued to speak strictly “You need to learn to control your emotions Davina because they will always get you

Jude’s POVAfter breakfast was over, I instructed Ian to care for Irena and never leave her side as we plan our trip to the Lemmon pack.When Davina, Robert, and I entered into my private office, Davina said in a serious tone “Before we start with the plan, I wanted to let you know that I’m going to tell Irena everything tonight, after dinner”Robert’s body stiffened and he asked her tightly “Isn’t it a little early for everything to be revealed to her? She only just arrived here yesterday”She answered him calmly, even though I could tell she was making an effort to be polite just for the sake of keeping her word to me “It is early but she knows I’m hiding something from her and I’m not about to lie to her like we have been lied to before so many times. And I’m not going to give her half the truth either just because you’re afraid of her reaction. She can handle it, Ian and I will be there to support her, just wanted to give you a heads up”He pursed his lips but didn’t say anything

Jude’s POVThe way that asshole was staring at Davina like she was a thing and not a person, almost caused me to lose my control to Elijah for he was twice as mad as I was.He was deeply growling inside my head.Even though he was supposed to be the peaceful one between us but when it comes to our mate, he loses all common sense.“That fucker! How dare he look at her that way? Let me go Jude! Let me teach him how to stare at people appropriately!” he screamed.“Calm the fuck down Elijah. We’re here to avoid war not initiate it. Let’s not ruin the plan from the first few seconds and see where this will go. Now let me concentrate and stop growling so loudly!” I said tightly to him.His growling lessened but kept coming out every few seconds in a lower volume and intensity.“Alpha Dominic” I said firmly, trying to get him to look at me instead of my mate.The bastard’s eyes linger on her for ten more seconds before they stare at me, giving me the impression that he just noticed my appear

Davina’s POVIrena and I sat next to each other on the couch.Ian and Robert took the couch to our right, and Jude settled in the arm chair in front of us.An awkward silence filled the room. I knew I was supposed to do all the talking and explaining, but suddenly I felt my throat tighten and my mouth dry.I sneaked a look at Robert and saw him looking directly at me.I couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind as his face was blank, devoid of any emotion that could indicate what he was feeling at the moment.Irena noticed the exchange and spoke nervously “Ok, someone needs to talk right now or else I’m going to lose my mind here”I gulped and shifted my gaze towards her.She had a scared look on her face that I wanted to wipe away instantly, so I started talking forcibly to get it over with and stop prolonging the inevitable.I turned my body towards her and tucked my right leg under me.“At the hospital, when I told you what happened here to me when I came to kill alpha Jude, I…..

Davina’s POVI wake up to soft lips kissing my cheek tenderly.A tremor runs throughout my whole body, awakening every nerve ending I have got inside me from that one simple gesture.Call it exaggeration, call it overemphasis, I don’t care. Truth is, I never thought that something so trivial like a kiss on the cheek would ever turn me on, but damn me, it fucking did.It wasn’t just the kiss that was capable of making me feel this strong rush of emotion alone, no. It was the person giving it to me. My mate. He is the reason I was sporting the female equivalent of a morning erection, which is an overflowing drenched pussy. Is there a nickname for it or is it not even a thing for women? Well, it was one for me. And fuck me. I needed it taken care of, really bad.I opened my eyes to the loveliest green orbs I will probably ever see.“Morn…”“I need you… right now”We spoke at the same time.I bit my lip at my boldness. He said he liked that I was becoming more honest and open with my sexu
