Adrenaline and fury were still pumping through Gareth as he stared down at Elliot.
“I’ll be keeping a close eye on you from now on,” Gareth snarled. “If you so much as step a toe out of line, I’ll take away your Alpha title. I’m sure you heard what happened to Bryson. I can ruin your life just as easily.”
Elliot was still on the ground, clutching at his throat and gasping for air. But he managed to suck in enough breath to answer the Lycan King.
“I swear I won’t betray…Isabella,” he wheezed. “I never have…and never will.”
But as Gareth stared into the younger man’s eyes, he noticed a flicker of anger. Especially when Elliot’s eyes darkened with fury as he glanced at Jasmine.
The Lycan King knew this wasn’t over. He knew the both of them were fated mates, but he was still missing a few pieces of the puzzle. He needed to watch Elliot and Jasmine closely, for Isabella’s benefit.
