Chapter 84

~Tempest’s POV~

Koda’s voice was cold, filled with a mix of disgust and disbelief, and I could feel the venom behind his words, the judgment in his tone.

He hadn’t even bothered to hide it.

I had frozen mid-step, my jaw tightening as his words cut deep, but I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing how much they affected me.

Instead, I turned slowly, facing him with all the defiance I could muster, my gaze locking onto his. His wolf growled beneath the surface, and I could sense Autumn struggling to keep control, but Koda didn’t move.

"And what of it?" I had shot back coldly. "Who told you I was hoping for your acceptance? Or did you forget that hours ago, you were professing your love to my sister, even after learning about our bond?"

The bitterness in my tone was unmistakable, but I didn’t care. I had nothing to lose—not anymore.

Koda’s jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing as he took a step closer, allowing his presence to loom over me like a storm cloud. "You reek of him," he said, his lip curling slightly in disgust. "It’s pathetic, really."

Something inside me snapped.

"Pathetic?" I laughed, but there was no humour in the sound. It was bitter, sharp, like broken glass. "You’re one to talk, Koda. You’re still hung up on Aira, pining for a love that was never yours to begin with. And now you expect me to wait around for you to accept this bond? To settle for scraps?"

His wolf stirred at my words, and for a moment, I thought he might lash out, but he didn’t. Instead, he stared at me, anger and something else—something that looked a hell of a lot like regret, swirling in his eyes.

"I didn’t ask for this either, Tempest," he said quietly, his voice strained. "But running off to fuck another wolf isn’t going to make this go away. You think you can just throw yourself into someone else’s arms and forget?"

The truth behind his words stung, but I couldn’t let him see it. Instead, I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze.

"I don’t need your approval, Koda. I’ll live my life how I see fit. And if that means finding comfort in someone else’s arms, then so be it. I’ll fuck as many willing wolves as I want to keep Autumn satisfied."

Autumn gowled in disgust but that wasn’t my main problem. Immediately Koda stepped closer, impossibly close as though he was willingly to enter my body.

I could feel him, pereceive his scent, muddling my thoughts as Autumn roared to life, loving our closeness.

The tension between us had escalated much quicker than I had thought, leaving m ebreathless and completely in awe.

I saw Koda struggle, holding back the words that wanted to come out.

Good, he couldn’t. I wasn’t his.
