Chloe’s POV

It was after I slept and woke up from my nap that my head finally cleared. I spent far too long in the bath, thinking of the hundreds of ways I could have handled the situation with Celestia and Axel better.

In fact, the worst path I could have taken was blowing up at him in front of Alpha David and Luna Silvia.

Where did that leave the emotional maturity that I had shown them this whole time? Where did that leave my reputation if this happened to escape to Everdeen?

I sank lower into the bath and let out an even more annoyed sigh. “What were you thinking, Chloe?”

In the back of my mind, I felt a presence stir. My wolf.

Since she woke up after the poisoning, she had been a lot more active in my head. Without meaning to,

After another few minutes, I climbed out of the bath and dried my body with the towel before wrapping my robe around me. When I opened the door, I paused.

Sandra was sitting at my bed, glaring at the ground like it owed her money.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” I asked, seeming absentminded but in reality, I was watching her face for any giveaway of what was upsetting her.

“How can you not be angry?” she asked in a small voice. “That woman was all over your mate.”

I blinked. What I showed earlier was not anger or was she not aware of my outburst in front of her

parents?

“If someone touched my mate so freely in front of me, I swear all hell would break loose,” she said, her voice rising with each word. At the end, she stood and faced, practically yelling at me. “Why are you not angry?!”

Now, I was confused. We met for the first time yesterday. Was she this upset on my behalf purely out of concern or was this something else?

There was a knock on the door. I took a whiff and confirmed it was Darius before telling him to come in.

He opened the door, saw his erratic sister and then, me in a bathrobe and somehow deduced what was going on.

“I will get her off your back,” he said. I nodded, wanting some more time to myself to formulate the apology I was going to give Luna Silvia for the embarrassment.

Only for Darius to return a few seconds later and actually shut the door behind me.

He did not seem like he was going to hurt me, especially in his parents’ house, but I would rather be on my guard against anything.

“Is there something you want?” I asked, sitting down on my bed.

He remained by the door, leaning against the wall as he stared down at me. “Do you really have to deal with that scumbag?”

Oh. Not this again.

“My problems with my mate are mine. I am sorry that you had to witness such an argument-”

“I am not complaining,” he interrupted me to say. “If anything, it reassures me of the fact that the two of you are not a great fit.”

How did I tell him that I was not interested in any form of romance without outing the fact that Axel and I

were in an arrangement?

“You deserve someone better,” Darius said with a certainty that was beyond audacious. “Not someone who cannot keep his boundaries from someone who used to be his girlfriend.”

My breath caught in my throat. Celestia and Axel used to date? How come I did not know that?
