Lucian inwardly applauded her sharp mind.
"So why didn't you find some random Omega? Why come all the way here?"
And there it was again, that insolent little mouth of hers. Gods, he wanted to bite it just to shut her up.
"You're my mate. You think I'd be okay hearing that from you?"
Seraphina shrugged indifferently, showing not a shred of remorse.
"So you came all the way here hoping I'd help you?"
This woman…
Lucian truly was at his wit's end. He didn't even have the energy to argue with her anymore. Just enduring the rut had already drained him to the bone.
Once more, he pulled her into his arms — where she belonged — and held her protectively.
"No." Lucian whispered, his breath scorching against her ear. "I just wanted to see you."
Seeing her, holding her like this, was enough for him to withstand this torment.
He'd rather fall apart in front of her than keep it together for someone else.
Seraphina didn't argue anymore, not when she heard the raw honesty in his voice.
