He was light to Adonis’s dark, cold to his warmth.
He wore all white, from his shirt to his slacks and shoes, his sable hair the only darkness around him. Even his eyes, a dove gray, almost looked unreal. She would have thought he wasn’t a wolf if she hadn’t seen him in action before.
“Raphael, meet my mate Fabiana. Fabiana, this is my beta, Raphael. If you ever need anything and I’m not around, he can get it for you.”
“Hello,” she whispered under his hard gaze.
“Why can’t I smell you? Scent is important to lock in for protection,” Raphael clipped.
“It’s a mystery I’ve been trying to figure out. I know she has a scent, I’ve smelled it, but it goes in and out.”
It shouldn’t be coming at all, but maybe that had something to do with their mate bond. Fabiana would have to study that further. For now, she needed to break this line of questioning.
“This little waif is the Alpha mate?”
Fabiana stiffened at the whispered comment, but Adonis was fluid, his revenge exacting. She almost groaned in frustration when he spun and punched the offending wolf in the mouth.
“Watch your mouth,” he warned before looking own at his hand. “Dammit, I just got cleaned up.”
“Maybe you should stop hitting things,” Fabiana quipped.
“Things should stop being offensive to my mate.”
“It’s not something I haven’t heard before, Adonis.”
“And it will be last time you hear it now.”
The glared at each other before she released a frustrated scream and stomped off.
Stupid, arrogant,violentmen.
“You’re right. She’s a lioness in disguise,” Raphael stated loudly behind her.
“Told you.”
She gave them both the one-finger salute.
It wasn’t until Fabiana was down the stairs in the middle of a sort of living room that she realized what she’d done.
And Adonis hadn’t even attempted to punish her for it.
