“You will realize that I’m a good mate for you and the lady up there made a mistake when I will crush your expectation that you have from me as a mate,” Theodore said bitterly.
“And what do you think I expect from my mate, Theo?” Liara asked in amusement. Theodore didn’t know the answer to this question, but he knew that no one did anything for anyone without expecting anything in return. “I expect my mate to turn the whole world upside down for me. But don’t worry; I won’t expect that from you.” She added
“But I do.” Destiny quickly said, taking control over her human. “I know you hate werewolves. I’m just wondering when you hate our kind with so much passion. Still, you’re here for us, then just imagine how passionately you will love us when you will start loving us.”
“I’m sorry for her,” Liara mumbled, taking control from her wolf, who couldn’t control her excitement around her mate.

“Babe!! Babe!!” Tiara said, bringing him out of his thought. “I’m asking something. Did you even hear that?” She asked.
“I’m sorry. I… Can you please repeat again?”
“How and who taught you all these basic things? I mean, I’m positive that rouges aren’t this good welfare of the things around them. So, Is it Zach?” Tiara asked.
“Yes! You can give credit to him for a couple of things, but my love isn’t the one who taught me everything.” Theodore replied. That was it. Now, Tiara cursed herself for asking that stupid question. She tried not to show, but she couldn’t hide her change in mood. The worst part was that she expected Theodore to say something and help her distract her mind, but that never happened.
‘Don’t act like a stupid teenager, Tee. You’re the same Tee who doesn’t need anyone to make yourself happy. Your happiness lies inside you; the only thing you have to do is to find it.’ Dora cheered her human even though she was hurt by the thought that her mate was in love with someone else.
After getting motivated by Dora’s words, Tiara turned on the music and started smiling even though she was hurt. Well, that was why she was a famous actress.
‘She is hurt, stupid. Talk to her and make her feel good.’ Inigo scolded Theodore when they sensed her pain.
“This is the song of your movie, isn’t it?” Theodore questioned.
“Yes!! I’m surprised that you know it.” Tiara responded.
“I have watched a couple of your movies. And I must say, you know what you are doing.” Theodore said, truly praising her acting skills.
“Thank you, but I will give credit to my manager for that. She is the one who chooses everything for me. And trust me, if you have the best manager in the entertainment world and you’ve everything.” Tiara replied and added, “And you don’t have to get possessive or mad for the role that I play in the movies because I don’t do intimate scenes now. They are performed by someone who looks like me, but they are not me.”
“I’m glad to know that Inigo started getting jealous already.”
Tiara chuckled and responded, “You can thank my boss if you want for that. The owner of the agency, in fact. And the moment you will meet him, please take me with you because I haven’t seen that mysterious guy until now.”
Theodore’s eyebrow raised at that information. Someone was making sure that she wouldn’t be intimate with any men, even for acting, and it was a male.
Who was he?
One of her protective brothers OR someone else?
Tiara changed the topic and started talking about something else while Theodore observed her.
‘Except for the way she behaves with Lia. She doesn’t seem bad.’ He thought, respecting her different nature. He had learned this by almost losing Liara.
‘Sometimes we just don’t appreciate those people who really care for us until they leave us until we lose them, then we regret. And it is clear that she cares for us.’ Inigo said.
‘Shut up, genius.’

They both returned around two at night. Tiara knew that Theodore had said a big NO to the kiss, but when she sensed Liara in the kitchen, she couldn’t resist herself from getting possessive over her man and gave him a long passionate kiss to Theodore.
“Good night, Babe!!” She said quickly to leave from there because he would start glaring at her for stealing one more kiss. It was obvious that he couldn’t stop himself from kissing her back because of the mate bond. “Good night, Lee!!” She said, watching her with a bowl of cornflakes or something.
She was very well aware of Liara’s craving at midnight.
“You should have come. It was fun.”
“It’s a wastage of time for me,” Liara replied and focused her mind on the food in her bowl. “Anyways, good night.” She added. She didn’t spare a glance toward Theodore, knowing very well that he was staring at her.
Liara grabbed her bowl and went into her room, unable to breathe in the same air where he was. Even though she had rejected him, she could feel the pain in her chest, and she knew it was because of the feelings that she had grown for him over the months.
‘I curse him that he will go through the same pain.’ Destiny growled in anger.
‘Not curse anyone, girl. That’s bad manners.’
‘Then I’m bad. Moon Goddess is watching over there. I’m sure that he will go through the same pain. That too in the same life. What goes around comes around. I can’t wait for the day.’ Destiny kept cursing.
‘I won’t talk to you if you will talk about him on that day.’ Liara scolded her, grabbing her books. Destiny growled in anger, but she said a word against Theodore.

A/N: Thank you for reading. Please do vote and leave a gem. My laptop is working fine now. There was some issue with my charger. I got NEW. The other sad news is that my mother is sick, so I have to handle kitchen duties. That's why I'm running late with the updates.
The target of completing this book is 31st Jan. At this speed; I doubt it will be possible.
