bAnd /bbI /bswear bhe /btreats b“/bsmile” like a cursed word. I wonder if bhe /bhad ever checked bup /bon the meaning bof /bb“/bbsmile/bb” /bbin /bbhis /bdictionaryb. /bbOr /bmaybe his dictionary just skipped that page entirely. bOr/b, perhaps bhe /bthinks the word only bexisted /bfor baliens/bb? /b

And his aura?

You ever walked into a room and felt like you were drowning in cold ashb? /bThat’s what being near Saint felt like. He bdidn’t /bbreathe power. He crushed you with it.

He fucking held my gaze until I almost looked away. There is no way in hell I’d ever be able to stand in bthe /bbsame /broom as

him and that strange Beta of bhis/bb! /b

I could almost think they were lovers. Yeah, right. Because, If that was pure, innocent friendship, I’d rather run with

rogues.

They were unnaturally close they were and too in sync. Otherwise, how could a man be bso /bbclose /bbto /bhis best friend bto /bbthe /bpoint of fucking the same woman at the same time? They shared women like they were blood and wine. Fuckb. /b

They called it brotherhood. I call it fucked up.

And now Non wanted those two in my territoryb? /b

Not happening. They were both lunatics!

“Look, I know thest time you crossed paths, it almost turned bloody,” Non said carefully, “But this bisn’t /babout you two ying alpha dicks. This is business. You pay him, he gets your Luna back. Fast and efficient. He’s the best in this field.”

I turned to him slowly, my jaw tight. “You know what he bis/b, Non. He’s me, if bI /bgave up thest pieces of my soul.

“Not happening!” I yelled, running desperate fingers through my hair, “They are lunaticsb! /bThey can’t go a week without sticking their cocks into the same woman! bIt’s /blike a ritual to them! They are abominable!”

I knew I was bbing nonsense, but, fuck me, anything to keep away from Saint. What an irony of a name for one who is the direct opposite of who a Saint should be!

“You bhave /ban bissue /bwith what they choose as their fetishb, /bor you want your Luna back?” Non snapped, b“/bbI /bcan’t help you from here. And even if I wanted, I don’t have all my resources at hand, and I can’t trust my boys to do bas /bbperfect /ba job as

Saint’s organization would.”

I heaved a sigh, slowly shaking my head.

“I’ve already contacted him. Sorry. He’ll be here in nine hours. That should be enough time for you to stitch your ego back together.” Non said, and I swear to fuck, if not that he was in a hospital bed, I would have punched him at this instant.

“What the bfuck/b? I’d rather shave my balls with a rusted de than let Saint anywhere around me or Kasmineb! /bbMy /bbfury /b

knew bno /bbounds.

“I told you,” Non said, “This isn’t about you anymoreb./bb” /b

“Call him. Call it off. I don’t give a fuck how much it bcosts /bI’ll find her bmyself/bb. /bbI’ll /bbstart /bbwith /bKexb, /bband /bbI’ll /bbburn /bbthe /bbwhole /bbdamn /bchain down from thereb./bb” /bbI /bbroared /band walked out on him without sparing bhim /bbanother /bbnce/bb. /b
