Earlier…. Max POV “I don’t need another talk,” Rian said stubbornly. He was scowling at the door where his mate had just disappeared with his mom and the others. When Taegan demanded someone to hold his hand too, right before the door swung shut, Rian looked ready to jump out of his chair and follow after them. I knew then that this was the same jealousy I saw earlier when Rosie sat beside Taegan on the couch. This boy. He’s so affected by that girl and doesn’t have a damn clue how to deal with his emotions just yet. “Did I ever tell you about my previous mate? Axel’s mom?’ I strummed my fingers on the table, trying not to appear too serious. The boy was ready to close himself off and I didn’t want that. That would cause him and his mate to just fight more. No woman will react ratio
