DreameNovelChapter 739 Chapter 0739 As I sat there, picturing this scenain my mind, I looked down at my palm. The cuts from when I had shattered that glass were healed by now, but it felt as if they were still there sometimes.
I had scared her that night. Hell, I had scared her when she foundbeating the shit out of Matt. And I had scared her again when she had foundon the verge of doing the sto Ronan.

"I know that I've been a bit... different from my usual self lately," I muttered under my breath, "but to seek solace in Matt? Why wouldn't she just talk to me?" "It's fishy, to say the least," my wolf said. "Rather than going to Lori or Jessica, or even Luke for support, she's going to... him. Your Beta." "And he's reciprocating," I growled as images of the two of them embracing beneath the tree flickered through my mind again. "Do they plan to overthrowas Alpha?" My wolf sneered. "It's not unheard of. Betas are the most likely to try and usurp their Alphas. And after all, you and Matt are so similar in strength... Maybe he thinks he could do better than you, and he's beginning by taking your wife." Hearing those words made my blood boil. If it was true, then not only was my marriage at stake, but so was my pack.
As I stood and began to change out of my clothes, however, I tried to rationalize everything. Matt was a good friend, one of our closest. He was my Beta, my confidant, a protector when we needed him to be. Maybe Nina was just confiding in him in the sway that she would confide in anyone else in our group.
"Maybe I'm just overthinking things," I relayed to my wolf. "That has to be it. Nina is pregnant with my child. She would never..." But my wolf merely shifted uncomfortably in the back of my mind, pressing his ears back flat against his head. Maybe I didn't know my wife--or my best friend-as well as I thought I did.
I climbed into bed that night, still trying to rationalize what I had seen and heard. I tried to tell myself, over and over again, that I was just imagining things. I tried...
I tried to push it away.

"See how he turns her on?" my wolf growled in the back of my mind as she straddledand began to kiss and lick across my neck and jaw. "See how she comes to you to finish the job?" I stifled another growl of my own. Nina's body against mine was hot and tantalizing, and it madehard, but I felt... stiff. I couldn't touch her. Couldn't kiss her.
And every tI closed my eyes, all I saw were blood splatters and the horrifying visage of Mila's face m anyway I'm sorry, Nina," I found myself saying, even though my voice sounded far away and garbled even to my own ears. "I'm just so tired, and with Mila still out there... you know..." Her face paled, and she stood. "I get it. It's fine."
Without another word, she slipped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I didn't call out call out for her didn't go after her Njust shut the light off so I could lay there with my own swirling thoughts in the darkness for a little while. Maybe, somehow, that would calm me.
A few minutes later, I heard the shower turn off. I listened intently as I heard my wife go through her m nighttroutine, a ritual that I normally reveled in watching through my half-lidded eyes. When she opened the door a few minutes after that, I was still wide awake. But as she softly called my nout in the darkness, I pretended to be asleep.
