Chapter 58- Trial

Graves who was unaware of all this stared down at Lucas, her waist pinning him to the bed, her thighs pressing against his.

Her red pupils darkened as she asked in a dangerous tone, "Tell me... did the thought of rejecting me ever cross your mind when you first recognized me as your mate?'' Her nails trailed slowly across his chest.

Lucas felt his heart skip. He was in big trouble. How had she come to have such thoughts? What had he done to expose himself?

Not knowing Kade and Alex's first reaction was the reason for her thoughts.

He thought hard, delaying his response, but the air around Graves grew colder with every second of silence.

Her nails scratched his skin lightly, snapping him back to reality. When he met her gaze, he saw her anger and hurt.

"I...l can-" he stammered, but Graves misunderstood from his hesitation. Her fingers pressed against his lip, silencing him.
