---- 122. SHE GAVE YOU HER BLESSING NARRATOR ''The frozen aura burst out all at once, freezing even the happy little fly that was buzzing over the pot of stew. Phillip froze, his fingers inches away from touching Nyx''s hand, who was also staring wide-eyed at the dark alley where her greatest temptation had just appeared. Her heart started pounding like crazy the moment their eyes met. What the hell was Aidan doing here?
"Oh, oh, this is about to get interesting." Amber popped a bit of ground meat into her mouth with a devilish grin. She wanted to see how long her big brother could stand someone drooling over his mate right in front of him. Vincent nced at his brother-inw with pity. Poor guy had no idea about the entire plot against him... or maybe, for him. seb Everyone began greeting him with respect, even the elders of the n. They admired power, and no one doubted Aidan was at the top.
---- "prince, to what do we owe the honor of your visit?" Phillip turned toward him, speaking politely but without submission. He had always hated how superior Aidan acted, saw it as disrespectful that he didn''t even care about the issues of the winter men. "Why? I can''te to my pack whenever I damn well please?" Aidan pushed back hard, doing everything he could not to give in to those primitive instincts clouding his head."of course, this has always been your hom..." "Didn''t you say you''d be back at the pce quickly?" he cut the Alpha off, turning to Nyx. "This was the urgent matter that couldn''t wait?" His eyes locked onto the few inches between her tiny hand and the other male''s. Nyx couldn''t believe how rude this wolf was being, and in front of everyone. Who did he think he was? Did he really see her as just a tool to keep his mate conscious?
"since when do I owe you any exnation about what I do or don''t do with my life?" Gold shed against blue. Aidan stepped forward, ready to grab her arm and pull her aside, but then... "Aidan! So d you''re here!" Aron''s voice rang out nearby as he rushed over. ---- Amber and Vincent had also gotten up to intervene. Amber looked like she was ready to tear her brute of a brother apart. How dare he talk to Nyx like that?
Things settled a bit with Aron''s arrival, pulling Aidan into the druidic ceremony prep But the prince''s mind and attention kept drifting toward the za, where she was still chatting,ughing, and having fun with another man...a man who wasn''t him. Every instinct in his body screamed to go im what was his. "Damn it!" he mmed the table full of herbs, sending them crashing to the floor under the splintered wood. Aron sighed, seeing howpletely unhinged Aidan was.
"calm down, or do you want everyone to know just how much you care about that female?" he said, mming the door shut. Aidan didn''t answer right away, just stared at him... "J don''t know what you''re talking about..." "aidan Walker, don''t you dare y me for a fool. I''ve got centuries on you!" he growled, stepping closer. "It''s obvious-you''re dying of jealousy, kid." Aron sighed, heart heavy at seeing how destroyed he was. Aidan copsed into a chair, burying his face in his hands.
