Marcy saw Nora standing on the side while ogling at George and Marcy felt fury stirring inside her as she wanted to gouge Nora’s eyes out. How dares she look at George in such a way!?
George is mine!
Marcy quickly stopped those words from spilling out of her mouth before she causes a catastrophe. What’s wrong with her?
She needed some time to process all this and to come up with a plan because things were spiraling out of control.
After finding out that Nora is sleeping with Alpha Edward, Marcy was convinced that she was ready for whatever that duo had in store for her, but this… was unexpected.
“That’s better.”, Alpha Edward said to Marcy and turned to George. “Plan to spend at least a week at the Shadow Fang pack, maybe longer. I don’t expect that anyone will cause you trouble, but until Marcy settles in her role as the Luna of the Shadow Fang pack, I will entrust her safety into your hands.”
Marcy swallowed a mouthful of air. Did she hear that right? George will be guarding her? If she had any doubts if George is the same man she rejected as her mate, the sparks during the handshake dispelled any doubts. He is the same guy.
“Dad, can we have a word?”, Marcy asked.
“Sure.”, Alpha Edward gestured for Marcy to speak.
“In private, please.”
Alpha Edward frowned a bit. “If this is something about your upcoming visit to the Shadow Fang pack, Nora, James, and George should hear about it. After all, you are all going together. And if it’s not about it, it can wait.”
Alpha Edward’s impatience was obvious, and Marcy backtracked. “It can wait.”
“Good. Then, I suggest that you and George get to know each other. Why don’t you take a walk in the garden? “
…
Marcy and George walked in silence through the garden.
Marcy inhaled a sharp breath and turned to George, “Geroge, about what happened…”
“Your father is still watching us.”
George’s stern tone sent shivers down Marcy’s spine. Was it wrong to say that through all that guilt and confusion she was also excited? No, no the excitement was coming from her wolf.
Marcy gave a small nod of understanding. She already confirmed that George is not a simple man. Of course, he was aware that her father was watching them. “Is there a place where we can talk?”
Without a word, George gestured toward the path on the right and Marcy followed after him.
A minute later, Marcy stood in front of the door that led into a storage house. George was inside already.
It was a good place because it provided privacy, but at the same time, Marcy was reluctant. What if George does something despicable? Marcy dispelled that thought. George was obviously loyal to her father, and he wouldn’t dare to harm her.
On the other hand, George’s loyalty to Alpha Edward meant that George is another person who will make sure that Marcy behaves according to Alpha Edward’s wishes.
“Are you coming or not?”, George asked with impatience in his voice from the storeroom that looked unusually dark, even with the unobstructed windows.
Marcy was dejected. Why did she come here? Was there a point in saying anything? George will probably parrot everything to her father, but there was something she wanted to know.
Marcy got inside and closed the door behind her.
She observed George who stood ramrod straight with his arms behind his back and his legs slightly parted, and she took in a deep breath that filled her lungs with the stale air of the storehouse and delicious scent of the sweet clover that definitely came from George.
“Why did you say that you are an Omega?”, Marcy asked.
“I didn’t.”, George said curtly.
“But”, Marcy paused while recollecting their brief conversation that happened right after she k**sed him and before she rejected him.
Marcy’s brows came together. George was right. He said that he is a nobody who cleaned training grounds and she assumed the rest.
“Why didn’t you clarify it?”
George sneered. “Clarify, what exactly?”
He took a step closer to Marcy and she swallowed hard while wishing that he maintained his stony unreadable exp**ssion because his vicious gaze scared the shit out of her. Even her wolf whimpered while covering in fear.
“What did you expect to hear from a man who is supposed to be your other half while you reject him?”
He was so close that she could feel his hot breath fanning her face. It smelled of sweet clover. Delicious.
“I rejected you. How come I feel the sparks?”, Marcy asked.
When he didn’t respond, Marcy tried to touch him, but he stepped away to avoid her and Marcy realized “You can feel them also. Why?”
George narrowed his eyes at her. “Because I didn’t accept your rejection.”
Marcy was not sure what to think about it. Her wolf was happy, but what about Marcy?
The memory of George’s strong arms around her and his flavors seeping into her system were still vivid, and Marcy really wanted to get closer, touch him, k**s him, and much more, but if she does that, everything related to her becoming the Luna of the Shadow Fang pack will be voided and her father will skin her alive.
While thinking about her options, Marcy steeled her resolve.
“Accept the rejection.”
George’s exp**ssion frosted. “Do you think it will be that easy to get rid of me?”
“This us is not possible.”, Marcy tried to reason with him. “My father won’t allow it. Both of us will be punished.”
“How noble of you to care about my wellbeing.”, George drawled. “Trust me, I don’t need your concern. Besides, aren’t you just thinking about not ruining your chances of becoming the Luna of the Shadow Fang pack? Instead of daydreaming about Alpha Dayson, you should worry about the Moon Goddess punishing you for rejecting the mate bond. How can you think about another man when your mate is right in front of you, alive and kicking? Your wolf is probably getting weaker. Can you even shift?”
Marcy p**ssed her l*ps into a line. He was right. Her wolf was getting weaker, and Marcy was unable to shift.
“What about you? Your wolf should be weak also.”
George c**ked an eyebrow at Marcy. “My skills extend beyond what my wolf can offer. You see, I risked my life many times when facing enemies and it’s not an exaggeration to say I’m lucky to be alive. What is my wolf in exchange for letting you experience the embarrassment when your future husband realizes that you are weak and useless? Alpha Dayson will discard you, and your father will punish you, and I will be right there. Watching.”
Panic swelled within Marcy. “You are doing this on purpose. You volunteered to accompany me to the Shadow Fang pack.”
