Her smell hits me before the door opens. Zyion lets her in. Nadia is standing in the office wearing a pair of short shorts and a tank that showcased her large breasts. Once again, I have no attraction to the she-wolf. I once couldn’t go two days without fucking her and now she couldn’t even hold my attention.

“Enzo,” she cries, rushing toward me. I get to my feet just in time as she throws her arms around my waist and buries her face in my stomach.

I keep my arms out at my side. Looking at Chayton, I shrug. His gaze narrows at me.

Pulling her away from me, I hold her at arm’s length. “What’s wrong, Nadia?”

“I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?”

Her demand of my whereabouts has my back straightening. She’s not my mate. She doesn’t need to know where I’ve been.

“Busy,” I reply curtly. “What’s wrong?”

She wipes at her face before looking at me and Chayton. “I’m glad you’re both here. I need to talk to you about the vampire.”

My hackles rise.

“What about her?” Chayton asks, before I could.

“She threatened me and my family. Told me she would slaughter us. Surely, that is a violation.”

“Check with your mate and see if this wolf is telling the truth. I feel like there is more to this story,”Chayton says in my head.

“Already on it,”I tell him. Going to the link I share with Michaela; I open it up. There is a buzz of happiness that hits me. I take only a moment to bask in her joy. Since I left her sleeping in bed this morning, I like to think the happiness is due to me.

“Morning, mate,”I say to her.

The happiness grows stronger before it cuts off completely. Yeah, I’m the source of her happiness.

“What do you want, wolf?”she teases.

“Nadia is in Chayton’s office. She claims you threatened to kill her and her family.”

Michaela chuckles. “And did. That bitch was being disrespectful to Liz.”

This time, anger rears up in me. A mix of hers and mine.

“Explain,”my wolf growls.

Michaela takes me back to the baby shower. She shows me Nadia’s attitude that day. She even shows me her calling Michaela a leech and Luna defending her. However, what she shows me next has my blood boiling.

“Thank you,”I tell Michaela.

I’m still not sure how she’s able to paint those scenes so clearly in my head, as if I’m there. She did the same with the memory of her crying in that mirror.

Removing my hands from Nadia, I cross them over my chest.

“How about you tell Alpha exactly why you got threatened?”

Nadia’s eyes widen before she looks down. “I called her a leech, and Luna chastised me rightfully so,” she says the lastpart to Chayton. “But neither of those things warranted her threatening me and my family.”

Chayton shakes his head. “You’re lying.” He doesn’t have to know what Michaela said to know she’s lying. Her lies taint the air.

She looks nervous. “No, Alpha.”

“Tell me what you did?” the growl followed by the wave of his dominance has Nadia spilling her truth.

“I was only thinking your stupid human bitch of a mate couldn’t tell me what to do. And that she nor the vampire deserved to be with you and Enzo. And that if it were up to me, I would kill her and the half breed mutt in her belly.” When she’s finished speaking, she smacks her hands over her mouth.
