"Talon, you’ve always said she’s a good girl. But I think she’s only pretending to be sweet in front of you. You saw how unhinged she was just now. If you actually marry her, you’ll be the laughingstock of everyone in the pack."
"Who would dare laugh at me and my woman?" Talon’ response clearly irked Lily, but she didn’t let it show—deception was her specialty.
Talon then turned to me, his expression hard. "Slone, I can’t believe you’re acting out over a grave. I expected better from you. Just apologize to Lily, and maybe I’ll consider forgiving you."
"What if I won’t?"
I clenched my jaw, refusing to back down.
Talon’s eyes darkened as he stepped closer, towering over me like a wolf about to strike. "Don’t forget, Sloane, your mother still needed my pack’s ancient healing remedies. I told you, there’s one last treatment that could cure her heart condition, and I’ve arranged for her to have it next week."
