"I've got it," Darius said easily.
Liv's tight expression said she wasn't any more thrilled that he was going to answer it than she was about the rest of the situation.
"Hey, Jojo." Darius leaned against the doorway, casually blocking the Beta's path into the house. "You should've been here yesterday. Your girl has been kicking my ass. I haven't worked out this much since the last time she needed a babysitter. Which, coincidentally, involved Niall too."
Hisgirl.
I had to breathe through my rage again.
Clenching my jaw, I barely resisted the urge to go to Liv and pull her to my side.Hold her hand. Hold her hip. Holdsomething.
I needed to stay calm.
Really fucking calm.
I sat back down on the couch next to Larson stiffly, and tried to look calm. I couldn't give Jonah anything to be jealous about.
Darius tossed an arm over Jonah's shoulder, dragging the werewolf away from the blonde Alpha at the door and introducing him to us loudly. Larson waved. I nodded.
My phone buzzed at my side. I glanced down to see a text from Larson, despite the fact that he was sitting right next to me.
Larson
Maybe you should try to make Liv jealous by flirting with the Alpha
If you really think he isn't her mate, you might have a chance
She obviously still has some kind of feelings for you, and her possessiveness could help your case
I watched Liv for a few minutes.
The way she was forcing herself to act laid-back instead of being her normal, energetic self as she gave the Beta a quick tour of the home she adored.
Ourhome.
How her hands moved constantly, because she was trying to play it cool.
Her gaze, flicking between Gwen and Jonah every so often.
She felt inadequate next to the Alpha.
Liv. Feeling inadequate.
Immortals stared at her shamelessly every time we went anywhere.Men lusted after her as much as they feared her. The woman was full of fire and passion, and everyone in the city knew it.
But she was self-conscious next to a werewolf.
There was no fucking chance I was going to risk hurting her more by flirting with the Alpha. Even if it could potentially get her back into my arms sooner, I wasn't doing it.
Me
Nah
We can ask the fucker how her magic feels to him if we get the chance, though
Larson nodded reluctantly.
We didn't get the chance.
