Chapter 76
76 I Don’t Agree
Henry’s POV
Why?
Finished
Just hours ago, she was straddling my lap, eyes red, demanding to know why I didn’t like her – saying she wouldn’t call off our engagement. Her lips were so soft, her body burning, every breath steeped in desire for
She even kept my mate from me. She didn’t want me meeting the other.
And now, just like that, she’s standing in front of me, calm and composed, ready to cut me off?
Is this some kind of game?
Does she think it’s entertaining to watch me–an alpha–lose control because of her?
“You’re playing with me?” My fangs itched. A growl rumbled low in my throat, but she touched my lips with cold fingertips.
“Alpha, I’m not playing with you.” Her voice was soft, but sharp as a blade. “What I told you earlier… was all true. I once loved you–not just love-”
She paused, pain flickering in her eyes.
“You were my salvation. The only reason I kept going.”
The rage burning in my chest froze solid.
Those words, that admission, snuffed it out in an instant.
But then her expression turned bitter.
“But I’m tired,” she whispered. “Alpha, I loved you for over a decade. And not once did you love me back. No matter how deep the feeling is, it wears down eventually.”
No. That wasn’t right. I could feel it–she was hiding something.
She pulled her hand away, reached into her pocket, and drew out the Luna bone ring. She held it out to me.
“Alpha, I appreciate your sincerity. But from now on…” She took a breath. “We both need a new start.”
A new start?
After she crashed into my life, tore apart my sanity, made me want her so badly I’d give up my mate?
Now she wants me to go back to normal and find some other female to love? Just like that?

I should be tearing apart trees with my bare hands right now–but instead, my eyes dropped to her lips, slightly parted and flushed.
And all I could think about… was kissing her.
She kept talking, but I didn’t hear a word. My hand wrapped around her waist and I yanked her against me, slamming my mouth over hers.

1 bit her lower lip. My tongue forced its way into her mouth, taking everything her breath, her resistance, her pride until she melted against me.
We’d kissed so many times by now, but every single time was like the first – wild, dangerous, addictive. Her taste, her heat, her trembling–it was like she was my true mate.
The way I reacted to her… it scared me. She changed me.
Aubrey’s POV
What the hell–how did this end in another kiss?
“Did you catch that?” Ella shrieked in my head. “He wants to mark you, babe!”
Mark me?! Absolutely not!
I lifted my hands to push him away, but before I could even touch his shoulders, he let go of me on his own.
I looked up–and ran straight into those intense violet eyes.
There was too much in that stare.
In my last life, Alpha Henry looked at me with nothing but disgust and disdain. But now… his gaze burned with something else. Anger, yes–but also pain, stubbornness… and something sour and raw.
“New start, my ass,” he said slowly. “I don’t agree.”
He locked eyes with me.
“As your alpha, I’m telling you clearly–I do not agree to ending what we have.”
