"This. Is. Our. Manor!" I angrily said, emphasizing each word.

That alpha caressed my face. "I know, Baby. But Viviene needs help. That's why I let her stay here last night. She will stay here for a week, just a week. I promise."

I shook my head and angrily stared at him, "This is our home. Our manor was given to us by the elders of our pack. Why would you let a stranger in?"

"A stranger? You've known Viviene for four years, Luna. And she had been my secretary for years, and she's a childhood friend of mine. Why can't you be a little considerate?"

I scoffed, "When will you be considerate of what I feel, Blake? This is our home, our manor! Yet you let a stranger sleep here." I paused when I felt a searing pain in my stomach again. "Get that damn woman out of our home, Blake!"

"Luna!"

I don't want him to see me weak. I don't want Viviene to win this time.

"Leave, Blake. Leave. If you don't let that woman leave our manor, I will be the one to leave!" I spat angrily, trying to hide the pain.
