Chapter 457: Elara
She does not respond. Instead, she stomps out of the room and slams the door behind her.
How mature.
The door opens again. A couple of footsteps. A hand around my waist.
"So sexy," Daphne murmurs against my ear, "how you are when you are jealous."
I roll my eyes.
"I am not jealous," I say. "I just hate the way she looks at you."
"Uh huh."
She presses a kiss to my neck.
I try to stay annoyed. I fail.
"Seriously," I say, "she has four mates. Four. And she is still looking at you like you are the last piece of meat in a starving pack."
Daphne laughs.
"How greedy can anyone be?" I say, annoyed. I turn in her arms to face her and cup her cheek.
"I could give up many things," I say. "But not you. Never you."
She looks at me. Her dark eyes soften.
"You are everything," I continue. "You are my mate. My partner. My heart. I would tear the world apart before I let anyone take you from me."
She covers my hand with hers.
"Elara."
"I mean it."
"I know."
