You saved them?

NALEDI’S POV

I was dragged back from Matteo before I could get a decent taste of his mouth.

“You are going to regret that,” Caellum said, bursting a vein.

“Make me.” I said in a challenging tone. “What could you possibly do? Kill me or your beta? You’re going to have a hard time picking on that one.” I said with a smirk.

“Alpha-” Matteo tried to speak and for the first time, he sounded unsure and borderline scared.

“GET OUT.” Caellum roared, using his alpha tone.

Matteo staggered back from the impact, and he stretched out his hands, looking lost. Only then did I realise he was holding a file. My best guess was he wanted to get it over to Caellum but couldn’t quite get to him before I mauled him with a kiss.

Eventually, Matteo dropped the file on the floor and fled the room, looking like a male version of Ratatouille getting chased with a frying pan.
