“Broken?” Aria asked beside me. I could feel her wolf’s displeasure at the fact that our bond apparently hadn’t been solidified yet. “What do you mean, broken?”
She wriggled out of my grasp again. I almost bit off my own tongue with the force I was putting on it so that I didn’t snap at Neo.
“How do we know if the bond is properly solidified?” I found myself asking as soon as I trusted my tongue enough to release it.
My angel—it was him trying to take over. I could feel his agitation mounting again.
“You’ll just know. Haven’t you read the books on soulmates and shit?”
“Why didn’t you tell me this before?” Aria pressed.
“Because you were trying to get me caught up on everything you’d told Barimuz, and you had much more important things to worry about,” Neo said with a shake of his head. “Besides, I didn’t think you’d appreciate me asking you if you’d fucked him.”
That was the very wrong thing to say.
Despite my rational side bringing up a truly strong argument about Neo obviously trying to provoke me, my angel and the irrational side of me were BFFs.
I had a clawed hand wrapped around his throat and his head pressed into the headrest in a second. I didn’t even remember moving. I’d managed to squeeze my big body in the space between the front seats, and my face hovered over his.
The voice coming from my throat was mine, but the words were not. “I don’t want you to look at her again. Don’t speak directly to her. Don’t even think about her, Heaven scum. I will hurt you in a way that will last for the rest of your pathetic life. Do you understand me?”
In the back of my mind, I could hear panicked shouting. The vehicle swerved, and my claws nipped his throat. He tried to jerk forward, but I leaned right into him, pressing him back, after which I jerked him forward and slammed him back into the headrest. “Do you understand me?” I hissed.
He can’t breathe, Sariel. Please let him go.
I glanced over the headrest and met the terrified eyes of my mate. That quickly snapped me out of the weird trance I was in.
I dragged my hand away from Neo’s throat and fell back into my seat.
“What the fuck was that?” Reese snapped. “You just threatened to kill a man not even three inches from me!”
“I—”
“It was my bad,” Neo croaked, rubbing his throat. “I’ve been taunting him.”
“I’m still sorry,” I said. “I should have a better handle on my angel’s temper.”
“Your angel’s pretty intense. Mine is pretty docile, unless someone I care about is in immediate danger,” Neo complained. “He gets squeamish around blood and would get me killed over a stupid cat.”
I almost laughed at the indignation in his tone. “Uh, well, mine has the temper of a fallen angel, buddy.”
He nodded. “Touché.”
“What the hell is wrong with you two? Was that a lie just to rile him up?” Aria glared at both of us. “What? So the bond can’t be broken?”
“Yes, it can,” Neo stressed. “Long distances, having sex with someone else before you do that with your bond—”
“I’m not a virgin,” Aria blurted.
Her face reddened after saying it, and I had to suppress an incredulous laugh at the fact that my angel suddenly started sulking like a toddler.
“Me neither, Aria,” I reassured her.
Neo sighed. “I meantafteracknowledging each other.”
“How do you know so much about mating bonds?”
Neo was silent for a few minutes, then he cleared his throat and turned to look out the window at the cars we passed. “I thought my fiance and I were soulmates,” he admitted.
