“If you are not present in class tomorrow morning, you will be receiving a detention slip.”

I said I’ll be there, didn’t I? Lyle senses my irritation and grabs my hips to try and remove me, so I just lean further into him, pressing my teeth against his neck and biting down softly.

“Any other threats, Lord Agnis?”

“You will attend therapy sessions with me. Enough is enough with the special treatment.”

Before I can make a smart retort, his telepathic presence fades away.

I groan in annoyance, leaning back from Lyle.

“I’m going to end him.”

Startled at the roughness of his voice, I blink into Lyle’s animus eyes. “No, you won’t,” I say, pressing a kiss to his stern lips. “He was just concerned.”

Nosey, more like.

Lyle frowns. “Regina.”

“Don’treginame! I handled it.” I shake a finger at him like he’s a student. “And don’t get growly at me, Mr Pardalia.”

He leans forward, his breath tickling my mouth. “I’ll growl at you whenever I want. I will kill whoever disrespects you whenever Ifuckingwant.”

If I was dead,thatwould have kickstarted my heart back up again. Suddenly, I’m hot and bothered as his fingers slide under my T-shirt, caressing small circles on my lower back.

“Kiss me,” he commands. “I need to calm down.”

Gladly, I obey.

Chapter 60

Scythe

As I shut my laptop for the night, I risk a look at Aurelia. She looks sweet, dozing with her head on Savage’s lap where they sit on the TV room lounge in front of me. Tonight, she had finally asked the dark question I could see sticking to her aura like a venomous slime.

She texted Ghoul a single line:Did you know about my mother all these years?

When Ghoul’s reply came back, I detected no lie.No.

I knew it to be the truth. In all my short discussions with Ghoul, in the ether or in person, I’d detected no lies in him. Whether his shadows obstructed the truth from me was a different matter.

We could never trust him entirely.

But it quelled Aurelia’s discomfort over the matter, and I had to trust that her regina instincts would tell her the real truth. If she was satisfied about this, then so was I, for the moment.

Just from looking at her, no one would guess at the colossal power that lay snaking through her veins. As her mates, we can feel it, and the urge to mingle our powers together grows more and more frustrating as each day passes. My cock aches for release, my balls demand to be drained, and my mind…

The swarm moves steadily around me at all times. As agitated as the rest of my body.

Rip them, shred them, bend them.Break them, bleed them, bind them.

Lyle is in the gym, working out some aggression left over from Damien’s intrusion into Aurelia’s mind.

I should have broken his beak for it.

Savage glances at me as I shake my head, chastising myself at the aggressive response.

Tiredness makes me rise from my armchair. Makes my feet move towards Aurelia. Makes me ease myself onto the couch, lifting her bare legs and putting them in my lap.
