Giving her a shove into the mirror, the glass cracks. “Until next time.” I give her a promising smile before turning around and leaving her coughing before she starts to cry.

I will do anything to protect Abby, and if that includes killing that Heather bitch, then so be it.

Looks like Michael isn’t the only one we have to worry about.

Why am I so nervous? I’ve never been like this before. I feel like an idiot as I stand in the foyer, waiting for Abby to come down.

“I feel stupid,” I mutter, tugging at my tie, cringing at myself in the mirror.

“Stop that,” Isaac huffs, grabbing my tie to straighten it. “You don’t look stupid, you look hot as fuck, and if you weren’t about to go out with our mate right now, I’d be bending you over and showing you just hownot stupidyou look.”

My cock stirs at his words, and I grin. “Do I make you horny?” I tease in my best Austin Powers voice.

He snorts out a laugh, and the smile that forms on his lips makes my heart soar. He's changed a lot since the big confession about his dad. I’ve seen him laugh and smile more than he has in a very long time.

And a lot of it has to do with Abby. I want to thank her for easing up on him, for giving him a chance to prove himself. She doesn’t have to be nice like she has been, but my man is so damaged that it changed him. Noah and I forgave him for how he treated us, for everything he did that hurt. I don’t care anymore after finding out what he had to go through.

I still see the pain in his eyes when he’s away from Abby for a long time. Just being in the same room with her does wonders. Now that I know about the rejected bond, I see it more clearly.

I’m hoping Isaac is able to win her over and Abby takes back the rejection, because the idea of him hurting any more than he already has, hurts to watch. I’d never ask Abby to rescind it. He deserved it. But he’s also not that person anymore. None of us are who we were when we first met her.

I’m just glad things are changing.

It’s crazy to think she’s my mate. This stunning, sexy, smart, and strong woman is mine. But the cherry on top is that she’s also theirs.

“Don’t you look handsome?” Abby’s voice has both Isaac’s and my attention snapping up to where she stands at the top of the steps.

“Holy shit,” Isaac whispers.

“Fuck me,” I breathe as I take her in. She’s in a dark green dress that hugs her body perfectly. There’s a slit that goes all the way up to her hip, and fuck, it’s really going to be hard to keep my hands to myself tonight.

As she descends the stairs, I get a good look at her cleavage and now my cock is hard because her tits look phenomenal in that dress.
