Congratulations, Finley. You’ve managed to stay one step ahead of them in your own way.
I cheered myself on, though I wasn’t entirely convinced. Watching Hayden mark Phoebe earlier still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I tried to ignore it, but the scent of him lingering on her skin made it impossible to forget.
There was nothing I could do about it. This was our fate.
But out of everything about this mate bond, the worst part was the constant rivalry between Hayden and Adonis.
They never stopped arguing, always fighting to prove who had the greater claim on Phoebe. And I was stuck in the middle of it all, caught between their endless battle.
I should be siding with Adonis—I was bound to him—but I wasn’t blind. I could see how Hayden treated Phoebe, how much he cared for her,
