Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Take Me Home, Alpha

Freya

"Twenty thousand, then," Reed amended, mistaking my shock for negotiation. "You’re between jobs, right? Could be a nice payday." He reached into his jacket and pulled out a sleek money clip. "I’ve got five thousand in cash right now. We could go somewhere private, discuss terms."

Mia suddenly found her backbone. "This is exactly what I’d expect from you, Freya! You couldn’t stand that Jasper chose me, so now you’re trying to ruin my life. You probably followed me here!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"You delusional little girl," I snarled, my patience snapping. "You think I care enough about you to track your pathetic affairs? "

Reed stood, moving too close to me. "Feisty. I like that." His hand reached out to touch my face. "I’ll make it fifteen thousand. For that money, I expect you to be very accommodating."

I slapped his hand away. "Touch me again and you’ll pull back a stump."

Something ugly flashed in his eyes. "No wonder Kane kept you as his side piece instead of his mate. Beautiful, but no class."

Before I could respond, Reed’s hand shot out, aiming for my throat. I braced myself to counter the attack—but the blow never landed.

A large hand caught Reed’s wrist in mid-air, stopping it cold. I didn’t need to look to recognize Silvano’s scent, though the fury rolling off him was new.

"I believe the lady declined your offer," Silvano said, his voice so calm it was terrifying. His grip on Reed’s wrist tightened until the other man winced.

Reed tried to maintain his bravado. "This is a private conversation—"

"Between you and my future Luna?" Silvano’s smile was all teeth as he twisted Reed’s arm behind his back in one fluid motion. "I don’t think so."

The color drained from Reed’s face. "LUNA? I didn’t know—"

"Clearly," Silvano growled. With minimal effort, he shoved Reed back into the booth. "Apologize to my future Luna. Now."

Reed looked between Silvano’s imposing figure and my cold stare, finally recognizing the danger he was in. "I apologize for my disrespect," he muttered.

Silvano turned his attention to Mia, who was trying to make herself as small as possible in the corner of the booth. "As for you...Does Alpha Kane know his precious mate is spreading her legs for other men?"

Mia burst into tears. "Please don’t tell him! He’ll never forgive me!"

Silvano wrapped a protective arm around my waist. "What Alpha Kane does with his unfaithful mate is his business. But if I ever hear that you’ve spoken a single disrespectful word about Freya again, I’ll personally ensure every wolf in the region knows about your little side activities." He glanced at Reed with contempt. "And your questionable taste."
