She watched our reflection, defiance blazing in her eyes, right until her body betrayed her, tightening around me, begging without words.

“That’s who you are with me,” I murmured. “Stop pretending you don’t recognize her.” I slammed deeper, grinding against her until her last scrap of defiance shattered into a broken moan.

“Tell me,” I demanded, forcing her to watch herself. “Say you’re mine.”

“I’m yours,” she breathed, head falling back, her hips rolling up to meet another savage thrust.

“Yes, you are,” I snarled, sinking my teeth into her neck until she gasped. “And if you ever forget that, I’ll fuck you until the only name your body remembers is mine.”

My pace turned brutal, claiming her, punishing her, worshiping every hateful, hungry sound she made. Her moanstwisted into sobs of pleasure, her nails dragging down my back, pulling me closer.

Her body tightened around me, screaming my name as her orgasm tore through her. The way she clenched around me dragged my release out with a guttural growl. I stayed deep, fucking her through every wave of her climax as she trembled beneath me.

When she finally went slack against the wall, shaking and breathless, I didn’t pull out. Her eyes were still locked on the mirror when her strength finally gave out. I stayed buried inside her, forehead pressed to hers, both of us breathing like we were drowning.

“Abram…”

“You’re mine, Elowyn,” I breathed, voice shaking with exhaustion and possessive devotion. “Even if you hate me. You’re mine.”

Please don’t leave me.

Chapter 15

Elowyn

My gaze moved to Abram as he came stomping from the house shirtless and his trousers slung low on his hips. As soon as he saw who I was standing with though, his smile completely vanished and his eyes flashed to red. Nate, stood next to me warily, but stared back at him, clenching his fists, worried that he’d get attacked.

Nyxthra purred at the sight of Abram.

“What are you doing?" he asked.

“I wasn’t kidding about Nate’s uncle helping me. He’s an oracle.” I answered as his body language went from tense to enraged.

“Over my dead body am I letting you go with that man.” He pointed at Nate, who looked offended. “He is looking for any way to get between us.”

Nyxthra wanted me to tell Abram that no one was getting between us, but she was out of her damn mind.

“You sound scared that Icanget between you.” Nate smiled.

Abram’s death glare slid to Nate.

“Nate, shut up,” I sighed as Abram started for him.

I stepped in front of Abram and stopped him. His eyes flickered to me with a murderous glint. Gods, he was pissed.

“I have to figure out if this man can help me, Abram,” I whispered. “I don’t want to be alone forever.”

He blinked in confusion. His pretty green eyes flickered between mine, and I saw the hurt simmering in them.

“You won't. You have me,” he said.

I swallowed as the tears burned the back of my eyes.

“I have you fornow.”

His shoulders fell at my words. Abram knew what I meant. I didn’t want him to be hurt by this, but he didn’t love me. Like he said at dinner, theyneverreject mates.The heavens knew who was best for him.He would leave me.

“No, youhaveme,” he reassured me, but I knew it couldn’t be the truth.
