Chapter 27

  Nicholas

  To say I was pissed, would be a vast misrepresentation at the pure rage that flowed through every inch of me. This thing had managed to sway my mate. This creature was inside my house, and none of us had managed to notice. Is this why Erina had wanted her little garden trip?

  And yet, as much as I was furious with her, I couldn't bring myself to be mad at her. Besides, there was one thing I could tell, something that my poor human mate couldn't possibly know. "Paxton?" I questioned.

  The man smiled at me. His eyes sparkled with challenge. A fucking dragon had marked my mate. Her beautiful skin was marred by his symbol, and the asshole's mark took a giant chunk of the back of her neck. It wouldn't be something I could just overlook.

  "What is it?" He questioned, that same shit-eating grin on his lips.
