This was the only way he could show his anger, by standing firm, by refusing to accept Chase's claim. He wanted to protect Addison's heart above all else. He couldn't bear the idea of her being shattered by a false mate bond or controlled like a soulless puppet.
No matter what anyone said, Levi simply couldn't bring himself to believe Chase's claim, at least for now, not yet.
Chase didn't deny Levi's barbed words. He knew all too well how vile Dark Witches were, and how despicable the people who worked with them could be. He had seen their methods up close and witnessed their cruelty firsthand. In many ways, he understood their depravity far better than Levi ever could.
That was precisely why he despised them so deeply, and why he had spent all this time quietly scheming against them.
