My footsteps halt as I hear their voices, and I try not to listen in, but I can’t control the urge. Everything about Phantom pisses me off as of late…
Mainly the fact that he’s fallen for Bailey. My Bailey. My mate.
‘If you’d allow me to mark her, this wouldn’t be an issue. But you continue to have your head up your ass,’ Orion remarks snidely.
My heart races as I hear Phantom state that Bailey hasn’t accepted the bond.
She told him that I was her mate….
A toxic blend of emotion floods my chest. Anger. Frustration. Hate towards Phantom for pulling such intimate details from her plush lips. That was our secret to keep.
But it all fades when I hear what they say next.
Her voice carries to me like a soft gust of wind.
Orion howls in delight in my head, and maybe a bit of gloatin
