Riding the highs

(Rose)

"You cannot keep mates apart while you bask in the company of your own mate, Alpha. If you decide to keep two mates away from each other because of a situation that was out of their control, then I would never mate with you!"

At those words, Lucas lets out a loud growl that scares me to my bones.

I back away from him, slightly scared of his now black eyes and elongated canines. I rarely see this threatening side of him, directing anger at me but I still had to stand my ground.

The veins on his neck strain as though they are about to pop and I feel anger directed towards me but I wasn’t going to leave here till he agreed to my demands because I meant every word I said.

He can’t keep two mates apart for issues out of their control and still enjoy the presence of his mate, that is unfair.

I remain strong in the face of Lucas’s dangerous form and I place my hands at both sides with folded fists to maintain a defensive stance.
