Allen could feel Lexi’s anxiety begin to rise the closer Greyson got to them and he rubbed her back reassuringly.

It was fairly obvious to him that Greyson was most definitely not on the same page as he was regarding Lexi having more than one mate, but he was sure that he would come around eventually to the idea.

“Commander Greyson.” Allen nodded stiffly, his wolf pacing inside of him restlessly.

Greyson nodded curtly in response as his eyes seemed to bore into Lexi’s face. This was the first time that he had seen Lexi speechless, or at the very least, lost for words, and under any other circumstances he probably would have teased her mercilessly for it, but he couldn’t help but feel bad for her.

“You’ve made your choice then?” Greyson asked harshly as Lexi did all she could to avoid meeting his eyes.

“I can’t choose, Greyson… you don’t understand…”

“Oh, I understand just fine. You’d rather choose a wolf who treated you like s**t and refused to acknowledge you as his mate over a Lycan that would bend over backward just to give you everything you desire?” He sneered as he raked his eyes up and down her body.

“We’re not that different Greyson. The only difference I see between us is that if you actually meant any of that, then you would listen to what she has to say.” Allen interrupted angrily. “Who asked for your input?” Greyson snapped furiously, stepping towards him.

“I have every right to speak my mind. We are both Lexi’s mates, Greyson, that’s not her fault, it’s no one’s fault and none of us can change it.”

“Over my dead body.” Greyson ground out, “I will not share my mate with ANY man. Mate or not!”

“Then why are you even over here? You could have left without making a scene.” Allen hissed furiously, “You clearly care about her and I know you were intimate with her last night in the gym.”

Greyson laughed darkly.

“You know and yet you don’t care? What sort of a man are you, Allen? The type that lurks in the shadows and pretends to be able to take care of his woman but is perfectly happy to let another man take what is his?” He sneered, “Aren’t you ashamed of being a f*****g c*uck?”

Allen shook his head and laughed.

“Listen, you can think what you like of me, I don’t give a s**t. All I care about is Lexi. Clearly, the Moon Goddess has different plans for us if she’s mated us to her. After her father explained why he thinks it’s likely that she has two mates, it makes sense. If you would just listen..”

“I don’t need to listen. I won’t share her.” Greyson roared angrily, his eyes flaring furiously.

“Then you’re a f*****g fool Greyson.” Allen hissed, “You would really turn against Selene and reject the gift that she chose for you? Weren’t the Lycans the first children of the moon goddess? You would turn against your race’s mother?”

“f**k you, Allen. If this is what she has planned for a dying race…that we share our mates with lesser wolves and produce substandard pups…”

“For f***s sake will you stop!?” Lexi yelled suddenly stunning both males into silence, “Listen, I’m rapidly getting to a point where I don’t give a f**k about this mate bond thing that you two keep yapping

on about. I’m not a toy to be shared or kept or owned, I’m a person. Have you both forgotten that? Your both acting like a pair of domesticated pets fighting over a chew toy. Get your f*****g testosterone under control, it’s pathetic.”

Lexi narrowed her eyes dangerously at Greyson and he took a step back involuntarily at the fury on her face.

“Listen here bozo,” She growled as she jabbed his chest with her finger, “Choose to accept the bond or don’t, I don’t care, but just know that if you reject the bond, I will more than likely end up with another male as my second mate because I’m f*****g unfortunate enough to have two f*****g powerhouse’s of souls inside of me. Raw, dangerous, f***»*g energy on opposite ends of the spectrum that needs controlling, and at some point, when they clash, I’m not gonna be able to stop it on my own. THAT is why I’ve been cursed with two f*****g bonehead mates.”

Greyson blinked at her in shock. Two souls? That was impossible, surely… “I’m sorry, did you not understand the simple words of a sub-standard half-breed? Do you need me to repeat it so that your f*****g animalistic brain can understand it a little better?” She spat, her trademark sneer back on her face, “There’s more to life than f*****g and impregnating you know? I think you males need to take a quick reality check and give your heads a wobble if you think any of us women have been put here just to bend and bow to you and your overinflated egos.”

Greyson continued to stare at her, his mouth hanging open a little. He was ashamed to admit it, but her anger was doing nothing but turning him on and that feeling, mixed with the shame of inadvertently insulting her was deeply unsettling.

“Lexi…” He said carefully, swallowing nervously before being interrupted by the doors banging loudly open behind him.

He turned just in time to see Adam and Felix leaving, and the arrival of his lieutenant. “Commander Greyson. We’re all set.” His lieutenant announced with a salute.

Greyson cursed silently. This wasn’t how he had wanted to leave things with her at all. He

had expected that she would come running to him, but she hadn’t.

Greyson frowned at her unrepentantly furious glare and sighed.

“Lexi, I want to stay and talk about this, but…”

“Yeah, I know. Duty calls. Go on, f**k off, and do your duty then.” Lexi spat, waving her hand dismissively as she gestured towards the door.

“Lexi…” Allen said quietly, a hint of disappointment in his voice as she rounded on him holding her hand up in front of her.

“Not interested Allen. I’m f*****g livid right now, and you know damn well I’m not going to listen to reason right now.” She seethed.

Greyson lowered his head in resignation as he looked at Lexi with a mixture of regret and longing.

“Puppy eyes don’t work on me… no pun intended.” Lexi commented dryly as she examined her nails, “Or maybe there was? Who knows!” she added flippantly as an afterthought.

Greyson hovered awkwardly for a few minutes as he rubbed his neck sheepishly before mumbling his goodbye and turning abruptly, stalking towards the door.

Lexi watched him leave with a furious fire burning bright in her eyes, but silently, her heart was breaking to watch him leave.

She bit her lip to stop herself from crying and before she could stop herself she found herself calling out to his retreating back.

“Don’t you dare f*****g die!” She yelled as he turned and smirked at her.

“I’ll try not to.” He snorted as he continued out through the doors. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Allen could see her struggling with her emotions and didn’t really want to inflame the situation any further, but he had to do something. The way her bottom lip was wavering was breaking him.

Without a moment more hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close into her chest, and held her tightly to him.

Lexi struggled against his arms, not wanting to be weak or break down in full view of everyone, but as soon as he turned his body so that her back was facing the wall and knowing there were no prying eyes, she felt herself melt and relaxed into his comforting embrace.

She allowed herself to cry quietly into his shoulder and as the silent sobs wracked her body Allen rubbed her back soothingly.

“I’m only crying because I’m furious and frustrated and I can’t beat the living crap out of anyone…” she mumbled into his shirt.

“I know, Lexi, I know.” Allen soothed as he smiled softly to himself.

Things would work out. They had to.
