Appearances can be deceiving

It was not possible that only once he could bring ...

He shook his head in a daze. It was her scent. It was clear that it was different. More appealing and attractive than usual. The smile froze on his face and strained expressions.

-Are you feeling well? - He wanted to know and contracted his jaw, watching the girl retreat to his touch.

-Of course, my sister is not feeling well. Jackie rekindled the fury of his revolt. -Frankly, Morgan. She is just a...

-It's not a child! - Faith was exasperated by the excessive care of her foster brother, placing her hands on her hips. - When will you understand this, Jackie?

"You kept Mayra as a lover even after ..." Cassie swallowed a sob.

It was a betrayal.

The images of the forest in Scarlet appeared before his eyes. Morgan looked at her in shock, closing his eyes for a moment. He managed to capture his wife's thoughts in a fraction of a second. He had kept himself busy with his lover even after he tasted the girl's blood. He had the sensation of being slapped by the silent accusation. It was her way. The face as pale as marble revealing pain.

He returned the guilty reproachful look.

-I spent three weeks in hell believing that you had left the castle of your own free will. - The explanation seemed reasonable.

Morgan burned in a personal hell.

Cassie shook her head bitterly. It was a relief to realize that the anger was beginning to force her out of the sudden drowsiness. The audacity of the unhappy man was incredible. She had been expelled, which was very different. Her strong temper finally seemed to wake up from a trance.

It didn't matter to her that Morgan was stunning and seductive. In fact, he was like all other men.

-I would have gladly left the castle knowing that you keep this woman as a lover. Your lackeys wouldn't have taken the trouble to expel me. The green eyes shone with anger.

-How did he expel you? - Jackie shook possessed. - Will you know that?

-Dad would never tolerate that, Cassie. -Faith argued tensely.

-Oh, everyone gathered here and I playing nursemaid! - Someone else was arriving at the cabin.

Cassie looked at him with apparent interest, noticing the vague resemblance to the Morgan family's physical features. It was still a boy. It could be almost your age. Thin and very tall. The amused expression on his face when he found the family together made her sigh with dismay. It should be Morgan's younger brother. So, one was still missing. Michael.

-Did you bring Adam with you?- Morgan was further exasperated by his new brother. - I can't believe you did that, Rick. What do you think this kid is going to do around here?

-Ask for explanations to the new captain of the Revenge, Phil.- Adam could barely contain his laughter in front of a perplexed Richard.- I think our brother could have a seizure at any time.

The boy, in particular, straightened his slim figure and was offended.

-How? - Morgan wondered. -Since when Faith is .... - he looked at Faith furiously and swallowed the words awkwardly.

-What's the matter, Adam? You better save your comments, Phil. - Faith crossed her arms, stiff. - I have already heard all the possible observations of your moralistic brother.

Richard raised an eyebrow at her.

-Moralist, me? You had the audacity to challenge Corner and ...

- For God's sake, guys. - Adam grunted showing his target teeth to his sister-in-law. "Did you manage to leave the man in such a bad mood?" Adam's gaze left Faith and went to Cassie. A new smile lit up his face as he gestured dismissively to Morgan. - I'm Adam. He can be very surly at times. Believe. I ask a thousand pardons for everyone's behavior and welcome the family.

Cassie tried without grace to show annoyance, however, she lowered her head.

-He's not my husband. - explained even more embarrassed.

-How is that not your husband? -Jackie roared indifferently at his friend's plagues. His hand was falling on the pistol in his belt.

"Oh, God! Please. Let me open a hole under my feet ... "Cassie swallowed the dry lump in her throat.

-Jackie ... - she pleaded low.

-You can bet that the marriage is totally valid and that I have witnesses, an old comrade. Morgan looked like a grumpy wolf.

-And the marriage was consummated? - the pirate wanted to know suspiciously staring at his sister.

Cassie wondered if it was possible to die with such embarrassment. She twisted the fingers with an absurd desire to pull out her nails, the triumphant smile of a certain alpha.

The wretch did not intend to tell that it was actually consummated before the wedding. Mercy.

-You can bet it was consummated! - Morgan shouted offended. - You can confirm the mark that your sister carries.

-You're kidding, Philip Morgan! Mayra looked stunned.

-But Jackie ...- Cassie tried to reason with her brother.

Jackie mumbled half a dozen curses, looking at his friend in no way friendly. Morgan's gaze fixed on Mayra with greater displeasure. He pressed his temples with his most irritated fingers, noticing the censorship on Faith's face. Adam shrugged without commenting, warned by Morgan's heavy gaze

Richard swore under his breath. As future overlord of the Scarlet lands and a duke to be named, Morgan left him as usual in disastrous situations. A clan of wolves. With all the hells!

Wizards were naturally natural enemies and the pack's alpha had chosen just one as a companion. He turned to the family, avoiding showing dissatisfaction with his brother's choice. He did not, as usual, welcome the family to his sister-in-law, ignoring Faith's face of revolt while cursing Morgan for his recklessness.

He would still have to explain himself to Faith.

God! He said only in an icy voice:

-Well if all the confusion has already been explained, we can arrange accommodation with Vladimir for the night. "A sigh was the only sign of tiredness." Michael is having trouble recovering from an injury from wolf grass and your blood would help a lot, Morgan.

Did Morgan bow his head, realizing the veiled provocation, containing dissatisfaction?

-What happened? He asked, relieved that suddenly the attention was on him and Cassie.

Richard laughed with complete bitterness and disdain.
