Destined Reunion
"Lucas, brother! She's my intended mate! Don't hurt her!"
"She doesn't know your temper, your... preferences. Ella, get up! I told you, he has no interest in females anymore. And you have no interest in anyone but me. Stop this act. Go back to your tent with your attendants."
Perhaps it was that possessive phrase "my intended mate" that shattered his remaining restraint.
Lucas growled, shoving Asher back, making him stumble.
Lucas's eyes now burned like fire, locked on Asher.
"Who said I have no interest in this she-wolf?"
