Caelum.
All I felt was a blinding pain. And red hot rage as I glared up at the smug-looking Alpha Frostclaw who seemed so satisfied that he’d been able to hit me this hard.
Anger coiled tight and deep in my stomach, only intensifying when I saw the smile on Leilani’s face.
Obviously, she enjoyed this. She liked that I was hurt. Revelled in the sight of my blood pouring down my face and seeping into my shirt like I was some deranged hobo.
I growled in rage, ready to charge at Frostclaw when suddenly I felt a strong pull from behind me.
Yeah right, it was Zevran. My pussy ass brother.
He held my arm in a grip so tight, I feared he wanted to rip my arm off, and then he turned to me, seething; "E.N.O.U.G.H!"
"Are you kidding me?!" I screamed, enraged. "You’re just going to stand there and allow this... this..." my voice trailed off as I found no adjective suitable for classifying Alpha Frostclaw, so I settled for something not so disrespectful. "... man here hit me like that?! And all you can say is enough?!"
"Caelum!"
"Don’t call my name!" I snarled, pulling out my arm from his hold in irritation. "Don’t speak to me like I don’t know what I am doing!"
"And if you did know what you were doing, you would realize that you’ve gone out of line this time. We’re at Frostclaw. Inc. Look around you!"
It wasn’t until then that the gravity of our situation settled at the base of my stomach like a boulder in a ditch. I gritted my teeth in rage and turned away. "Whatever!"
But as if to further shame me, he tilted his head curtly— not to me but to them, and whispered; "I’m sorry for what happened here today, Ms Sinclair and Alpha Frostclaw. Maybe we can talk about the business some other time."
Alpha Jarek scoffed. Leilani dropped her gaze, but I didn’t miss the smug smile on her face. Or the satisfaction oozing off of her like blood from a cut.
She was truly enjoying this!
What a malicious little slut!
"Please..." Zevran added, and I immediately had this irresistible urge to smack him hard across the face. Probably inflict him with as much pain as I was in right now.
My anger tripled when Jarek stepped forward, his chest almost brushing against Zevran’s as he spat; "I will not do any form of business with you both in the future," he glowered; "But if Leilani here decides to do business with you later, then I have no say. It’s all totally up to her."
My blood boiled.
But to my surprise, Zevran didn’t seem mad. He simply turned to look at her, his gaze unreasonably soft. Then he muttered; "Guess I’ll have to talk to you some other time then?"
Hearing that, Leilani scoffed derisively at him. "Save it." She snapped, and with that, strutted away from us without a second glance.
Alpha Frostclaw followed behind her shortly after pinning us with a cold glare, and I couldn’t help but be enraged further by watching them leave.
He looked... seemed like she had him wrapped around her pinky finger, and Leilani being the ever scheming bitch was riding this high to her advantage.
"Bitch!" I seethed under breath, causing Zevran to quickly turn to me with cocked eyebrows. "See how satisfied she is with everything that’s just happened! See how good they look together!"
"Caelum!"
"Did we ever look that good with her? Did she ever smile to any of us like she’s smiling to that guy?! She’s head over heels for him and he feels the same way too! Urghhh so disgusting!"

When did I say I was jealous? When did I ever mention the word; ’Jealous’?
