Chapter 23. Now or Never

Abigail’s POV

Just then, the truth of Jason’s words dawns on everyone. The warrior who is still struggling to get out of my hold freezes at Jason’s declaration.

“She can’t be your mate, Alpha.” The man whimpers. Jason sends him a pointed look, not letting go of Ellie. He walks, with Ellie in his arms, to where I’m still holding the warrior down. Ellie finally seems to come out of her daze and tries to get down. Jason lets her, but keeps her tight to his side.

“You dared to attack the guests of our ally pack, and ignore the Alpha AND Luna here?” He asks with an ice cold voice. The warrior nods, seemingly ashamed. Good, he should be!

“And now, you are trying to tell me who my mate can or cannot be?” Jason asks again.

“But Alpha. She is a demon. An assassin. A killer.” The man desperately tries to explain himself. “She killed my sister and her mate.” He whispers. I freeze. No, Ellie would never do that.

I look at Ellie; she shakes her head.
