Helanie:
Kesha had a look on her face like she wanted to kill me, and for a split second, I noticed her features change. It made me close my eyes and blink repeatedly, just to make sure I was seeing it right.
But when I looked at her again, she looked normal. My mind was definitely playing tricks on me. Or maybe I was just spooked, first by her catching us, and then by Kaye introducing me as his mate. The council needed to hear that a certain way, that we were going to be together. Some of them already suspected something was happening between us, but they didn't know to what extent.
"She can't be your fated mate! She already felt the mate bond with Norman fucking McQuoid, so he married her! How could she have two mates?" she screamed. She had such a bony structure that, every time she yelled, her bones visibly moved. Kaye kept one arm stretched out fully to block her from coming at me.
"Just like I have two mates," Kaye said casually.
