CHAPTER 128

  "What are you doing out here?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" The woman snaps.

  "Isn't that what you want?" Marisol retorts, not missing a beat.

  As 'Sophia' reveals herself, Cedric catches the scent of his brother heavy on her. She was Caleb's mate. However, the distinct scent of jealousy and anger directed at Marisol makes Cedric instantly decide he does not like Sophia.

  Swallowing another growl, Cedric forces himself to retreat, deeming the situation well handled by Marisol, -if what he'd just witnessed was anything to go by - and opting to return to the hidden castle. The brewing tension and animosity threatened to unleash his wolf, and he knew he couldn't afford a confrontation. If he stayed any longer, he would rip his brother's mate apart for disrespecting his own.
