Jessica glares at him for a moment before rattling off his number. “But you won’t find anything. He’s shown me his phone before. There was nothing.”

Alec crosses his arm and gives me a cocky grin. “Right. There’s nothing to show because there’s nothing that happened.”

After a few moments, my program spits out his text information. True, there’s nothing untoward on the surface. Just like Jessica. However, when I go into his deleted folder, all of it comes to light.

Instead of saying anything to him directly, I simply hand the phone to my wife. She’s the one who needs to see his massive betrayal. At first, she squints her eyes, as if she’s not believing the messages going back and forth between him and an establishment where you pay to have sex with willing omegas.

“What are you reading?” he sputters, daring to take another step forward.

I growl at him and continue to shelter Jessica in my arms, allowing her to process everything. Like clockwork, once a month, he’d leave to go to this place. The explicit and provocative texts and pictures leave nothing to the imagination.

Finally, she hands me my phone back and turns to Alec. “Why?”

He stands there, silent for several moments. “Why do I even care anymore? It’s not as if we’re actually ever going to get married.”

“You didn’t know that,” she cries out, hysteria lacing her tone. “How could you sleep with all those omegas? How?”

“How? You wanna know how? It was simple, really. I’d goto the place where we were supposed to meet, spread their legs, and slide in my cock. It’s all simple, really. Well, simple for someone who’s fucked before. I guess it’s rocket science for someone like you.”

Jessica’s jaw drops, her eyes glistening with new tears. “That was uncalled for. You agreed to wait.”

“I agreed because I didn’t think you’d actually wait that long. I thought you’d give it up after at least a few months. What was I supposed to do? I had needs.”

Jessica steps forward, her stride purposeful. Raising her hand back, she smacks him hard across the face. Fury blazes in his eyes as he, too, raises his hand.

Before he can let it fly, I step in and grab him by the wrist. “Lay one finger on my wife, and I will snap every fucking bone in your hand. Trust me. I know how to make you hurt with an accuracy and precision that will leave you pissing your pants and crying like a baby.”

Alec looks at me, his face turning white as a sheet. “She’s not worth it,” the omega cries out behind him. “You’re married to me now.”

“Yes,” I seethe. “Go to your bride, and I will see to mine.”

“Wait.” Jessica pulls herself from my grasp. “Just one more thing.” Before any of us can prepare for it, she balls up her fist and punches Alec right in the dick.

He hunches over, crying out as he cups himself. For the first time since she saw her ex, a soft smile dances across her lips. While he groans and rocks, she wraps her arms around my waist.

“I can still have anything I want. Yes?”

Confused, I drag my gaze away from the sobbing Alpha. “Yes, my pet. Anything you wish.”

“Make me yours. Erase Alec from my heart and mind. I want you to take me in the way that only you can, Master.”

CHAPTER 14

JESSICA

A strangled roar floods my ears, making me turn around. Alec wrenches his neck up and glares at me, his feral gaze drilling into my soul. It steals my breath, but not in the same way as Devin.

My new Master makes me feel safe, desirable, and like the most beautiful thing on the planet. The way Alec looks at me makes me feel far more unsafe than I ever thought he was capable of making me feel. How could he act like he loved me then look at me with such hatred, such hostility?

Despite trying to be strong, I snuggle back into Devin, needing my Alpha’s strength. He brings his arms back around me and purrs. The soft sound seeps into my body, making me limp in his grasp.

Somehow, this only seems to make Alec even more furious. His bride comes over to his side to help him up, but he shoves her away. Her soft shriek of surprise slams into me as if it’s a physical sensation.

In an instant, Devin’s gentle purr turns into a warning growl. He unwraps me from around him and eases mebehind where he can stand in between Alec and I. Bringing his hands forward, he cracks his knuckles and eases his head from side to side to pop the joints in his neck.

With a snarl, Alec rises, keeping his body low, hunched down to the ground. “You’d protect her? That manipulative ice princess bitch?”

“With my life,” he responds, his voice even-keel. “You will do well to keep her name out of your mouth if you want to leave here unscathed.”
