There was nothing but anger in his eyes. I was struck silent and frozen in place. Never had I imagined that Candido would really look at me like that. I thought back to Raven’s warning and shuddered. She’d been right about how he would react, but maybe… Maybe if I’d told him when I found out, he wouldn’t be so angry with me.
He still smelled so good. I still wanted to… I still wanted to bit him, to drink from him and—I shuddered and turned away from him, closing my eyes and trying to resist, but it was so hard.
“I… I wanted to tell you—”
“But you didn’t,” Candido said. “Were you ever going to tell me? Hm? Before we were mated? Or was I just going to find out when you caved and bit me one day?”
I shook my head and met his gaze. “I… Raven—”
“Who the hell is that?”
“My sister.”
He scof
