A Luna\u2019s Doubts, Four Alphas\u2018 Fury\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tilted my head, watching her with a lazy smirk that didn\u2019t quite reach my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAn interesting little revelation, \u201cI drawled, though the heat in my gaze said otherwise. \u201cCare to elaborate, princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rhea\u2019s lips parted, but no sound came out. Her pulse fluttered at her throat, her heartbeat a frantic rhythm beneath her skin. Lies wouldn\u2019t work here. We could hear them. Smell them. And if she\u00a0<\/p>\n
thought for one second that she could brush this off-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jaxon took another step forward, his body so close and overpowering that I could practically hear\u00a0<\/p>\n
her breath stutter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTry again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the power behind them?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suffocating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rory\u2019s POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t usually the angry one. That was Callum\u2019s job. Jaxon was the obsessed\u2013possessive one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seth? The psychotic one. Me? I was the one who smoothed things over. Kept the peace. But right\u00a0<\/p>\n
now? I was seething.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His name tasted like f*****g poison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was a reminder of something we should have known sooner: that someone else had hands\u2013on\u00a0<\/p>\n
experience with what belonged to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blaze, Jaxon\u2019s wolf, was already on edge, and Callum wasn\u2019t much better, either. Neither was his\u00a0<\/p>\n
wolf, Ace, nor was Seth\u2019s wolf, Scar. But me and my wolf, Lex? We had never wanted to f*****g rip\u00a0<\/p>\n
someone apart more than I did in this moment. She was ours. Every single part of her\u2013her scent,\u00a0<\/p>\n
skin, soul. But she was holding back. She was hesitating,\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That pissed me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is he, little Luna?\u201d Callum asked again, his tone softer now, but not any less dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She swallowed, the tension in her shoulders rising.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s\u2026 no one,\u201d she said finally. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jaxon\u2019s growl rattled the windows. Seth chuckled, but there was nothing amused about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, snowflake.\u201d Seth grinned. \u201cYou and I both know that\u2019s bullshit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Luna\u2019s Doubts, Four Alphas\u2018 Fury\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her breath hitched. Her hands curled into fists at her sides, her nails biting into her skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I watched her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watched the way her chin lifted, the way her lips pressed together, the way she tried to steal her expression into something unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was fighting this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fighting us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And f**k if I didn\u2019t love that about her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she was ours now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That fight? That stubbornness? That fear?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It belonged to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And we weren\u2019t about to let her hold onto it alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
