45 The wolf's den (part 2)

There was a long silence again when he confessed that she was his breedmate. His brothers, especially the one who ordered for her to be taken away looked confused and angered as he looked between her and Malachi.

"Tell me this is a joke."

"It is not," Malachi said.

The woman released her hair, while his brother laughed but Malachi remained serious, still keeping his eyes on her.

"Is that so?" His brother asked walking over to her. He grasped her arm harshly and pulled her closer to him. "Is this human, your breedmate?" he grabbed her jaw harshly forcing her head up.

Malachi frowned.

"Saul! What are you doing?" His mother asked looking disturbed.

Malachi held his hand up to stop her from interfering. Saul squeezed her jaw hard causing her pain.

"How do you know she didn't inject something into you, to make you believe she is your breedmate?"

"Nothing was injected into me." Malachi lied. "She is my breedmate."
