Rae’s POV
I had no idea why Erik kept saying that I was his. I was not his slave, he himself said so. And I was - to my unhappiness - his mate. So there was no reason for him to say that. But then, I thought about a possibility: he was saying that to make Alpha Rockwood leave me alone.
“Yours?” He asked, frowning? “Is she your mate?”
“It is not your business, Alpha Rockwood. All you need to know is that she is mine, off limits to you or to any male whatsoever. So, keep your hands and eyes away from her.” Erik’s voice was low, but I could clearly hear the threatening.
“I see.” The other Alpha said and I heard him laugh low. I was still avoiding his face. “I won’t pursue her for now. But when you’re tired of this beauty, I don’t mind if you send her to me.”
