“Father, I hope you know that just because your wife and I have fooled around, it does not mean that I’m open to a threesome,” Tempest mumbles and I freeze, dropping her hand instantly.

I wipe it on my pants. “No, that’s not…” I run my fingers through my hair and sigh. “I wanted to ask you something in private. Tonight is a big night for Chastity and me, and I was wondering if she had mentioned having any reservations about us having sex. Just because we are married, doesn’t mean I would pressure her,” I grumble, getting heated at the thought of what that piece of shit did to my girl.

We have messed around a few times, but I never took it further than foreplay, and I would be fine with having a night full of my face stuffed in between my wife’s thighs.

Tempest giggles and shakes her head. “No, I think she’s actually excited. Nervous, of course, but… You should really be asking her this, Levi. She’s not made of glass. She’s so much stronger than you know.”

I nod, and Tempest walks off with a huff, muttering about stupid men. “That was just painful to watch,” Ash grunts, moving closer. I have been so in my head about tonight, I didn't notice he followed us.

“Big, bad Levi acting insecure,” he scoffs, and I can smell the alcohol on his breath.

“Are you drunk?” I snap.

Stepping closer to him, I grab his arm and pull him over to the gate that leads to the bridge. “I know you and Chastity have some things to work through, but you are still an initiate to The Society, and I don’t know if you’ve fucking noticed, but there are a lot of members here tonight!”

He has to be out of his fucking mind. I glance around for Chastity, but she's laughing with Tempest. “Come on. I need to sneak your ass out of here before you're caught. You're not only jeopardizing yourself, you could fuck with Jonas and Bast's chances. You're a team, Ash!”

His smirk disappears and he looks at the ground.

I lead him to one of the secret entrances, and through the tunnel until we reach his dorm.

Pulling out my phone, I text Jonas to come up here and take care of him. It's my fucking wedding night. I'm not going to be his babysitter.

Chapter14

Ihaven’t seen Ash in a while, and I’m starting to worry. I know this wedding is difficult for him, and I saw him go out into the gardens about an hour ago. As he was walking out of his room this evening, I watched him pocket a joint, which if he's caught with could be big trouble for us all.

I also saw him over with Milo sipping on a flask. I'm kinda shocked Milo is even here, but one of the Elders brought him.

Bastian gives Chas one more spin on the dance floor, then kisses her hand and walks over to me.

My phone buzzes, but it can wait. It's finally time to dance with our girl. She holds her hand out to me and I take it.

“I'm not the best dancer. Watch your toes,” I warn her and she giggles. She seems happy today, and I'm glad.

I was worried after watching her panic in the Chapel. I don't think it was the fact she was marrying Levi or anything. There are so many awful memories that the Chapel holds for her.

I wish her grandmother would have moved the ceremony to any other place, but Chastity surprised us all and finished walking down the aisle.

“I'm not the greatest either, but thank you for dancing with me, Jonas,” she murmurs, giving me a big smile. She looks gorgeous, almost angelic, in her white gown with fancy hair.

My sister gives me a thumbs up when I glance her way, and it makes me laugh. She loves Chastity, and even though she knows we have to keep our relationship secret, she's excited to have a big sister.

Jules has always wanted someone to do hair and nails with and, of course, go shopping. I tried my best with what little we had, but it's not the same. At least now she’ll have someone to do those things with.

“I'll always dance with you. I wish I could kiss you,” I mumble and her cheeks blush.

“I'd like that. Maybe after Levi and I return, we can have another movie night. This time at our apartment?” She gives me a smile and I nod excessively, making her laugh.

Bast comes up to us and places his hand on my shoulder. The music is still going, so I don't know why we are being interrupted. Was I too close to her?

I stop moving and release Chastity. She mumbles something about Tempest then walks off.

Spinning to face Bastian, I try to hide my annoyance. I never stepped into his dance.

“What's up?”

“Ash is wasted back in the room. Levi wants you to go attend to him. I guess he tried to get a hold of you?” I scrunch my nose and sigh. I run my hands through my hair and nod.
